The level opens with the remainder of [[Noble Team]] onboard a [[D77-TC Pelican]], on their way to deliver [[Cortana]] to the dry-docked {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}. The Pelican is critically damaged and [[Carter-A259]] is badly wounded. Carter orders [[SPARTAN-B312]] and [[Emile-A239]] to complete the courier mission without him, while he lures the Covenant away from the pair by using the Pelican as a decoy. Emile-A239 and SPARTAN-B312 execute a low-altitude jump from the Pelican outside of the dockyard and are forced to fight their way to the facility. After battling through several Covenant outposts, the two SPARTAN-IIIs are forced to continue their journey through a cave system to circumvent a large group of Covenant forces. Upon reaching the other side, however, they are confronted by a Scarab. Realizing that the Scarab's presence prevents Emile and Noble Six from moving on, Carter rams it with the Pelican, knocking it off a cliff and sacrificing himself in the process.

The two SPARTAN-IIIs are then hailed by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]], whose [[Halcyon-class Cruiser|cruiser]], the ''Pillar of Autumn'', is moored at the facility, and are ordered to clear a landing zone for the Captain, who will use a Pelican to retrieve [[armored matrix|the Package]] himself. Emile mans the facility's [[15cm Mark/2488 1.1GJ MAC|mass driver]] to provide covering fire against incoming Covenant [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantoms]], while Noble Six and surviving [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] engage the Covenant on the ground. Once cleared, Keyes' Pelican arrives and Captain Keyes retrieves the Package from Noble Six. As the package is handed over, a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} is revealed to be moving in on the ''Pillar of Autumn''. Keyes orders Emile to fire on the advancing battlecruiser, however, before Emile can oblige a Phantom attacks the landing zone, destroying one Pelican and deploying a group of Sangheili warriors onto the mass driver. Emile successfully kills one of the Sangheili with his [[M45 Tactical Shotgun|shotgun]] before a second sneaks up behind him and impales him with an [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]]. Emile manages to draw his [[Combat knife|kukri]] and fatally stab the Sangheili in the neck before he expires. | The two SPARTAN-IIIs are then hailed by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]], whose [[Halcyon-class Cruiser|cruiser]], the ''Pillar of Autumn'', is moored at the facility, and are ordered to clear a landing zone for the Captain, who will use a Pelican to retrieve [[armored matrix|the Package]] himself.
