The Covenant quickly assaulted Cleveland, taking light casualties as they battled Marines and armed [[civilian]]s. However, during the battle, the Covenant did not make any attempt to destroy the city or kill any civilians. After successfully securing most of the city, the Covenant captured many civilians and brought them to the [[Old Cleveland]] stadium in order to question them about the Key of Osanalan.<ref name="Issue 1"/> | The Covenant quickly assaulted Cleveland, taking light casualties as they battled Marines and armed [[civilian]]s.

Although they were initially hostile to Ruwan, Twyker and Intelligence Operations Manager [[Wesley]] soon realized the importance of the Key of Osanlan. They contacted the Covenant to inform them that they had the Key and requested a meeting to deliver it to the Covenant. Ruwan volunteered to partake in the meeting and was injected with [[Tykos 30]], an organic tracking material. Meanwhile, Tyla and other civilians were evacuated. | Although they were initially hostile to Ruwan, Twyker and Intelligence Operations Manager [[Wesley]] soon realized the importance of the Key of Osanlan.

He then was taken to [[Chagrin Falls]], where a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Jiralhanae chieftain]] demanded that Ackerson relinquish the Key of Osanlan. Ruwan told them that ''he'' was the Key. Confused, the Covenant brought him aboard the {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} ''[[Harbinger of Piety]]'' before the [[Minister of Inquisition]], who questioned him about the Halo array, but the civilian was confused. The Minister of Inquisition then revealed he knew about the tracking material inside Ackerson and presumed that it was a homing beacon for rescue. Ruwan corrected him, stating it was a targeting vector for the [[orbital defense platform]] ''[[Nassau Station|Nassau]]'' to fire on the ship. ''Nassau Station'' then fired its [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]], destroying the ship and killing everyone aboard.<ref name="Issue 4"> | He then was taken to [[Chagrin Falls]], where a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Jiralhanae chieftain]] demanded that Ackerson relinquish the Key of Osanlan.
