 As the Master Chief made to leave the structure, Cortana called for him to stop near a holographic projection of the Prophet of Regret. She confirmed that Regret was planning to activate the installation to John, translating the sermon into [[Human languages#English|English]]. John radioed Commander Keyes about the situation. Keyes, after studying the information Cortana had acquired from [[Installation 04]], knew that the Prophet would need the ring's [[Activation index|Index]] to activate the installation. Having located the [[Library]] where the Index would be housed, and determined to deny it from falling to the Covenant, Keyes ordered Johnson to extract his men and rendezvous with her at the Library. Now armed with all the intel that the UNSC would need, Keyes ordered John-117 to assassinate the Covenant Hierarch.{{Ref/Reuse|regret}}
-Before John could leave the structure, he and the two Marines accompanying him were attacked by a swarm of Yanme'e descending from above. Managing to fend off the insectoid Covenant soldiers, the team arrived outside, where more Covenant including a number of snipers attempted to stop them. The team fought across a small bridge into more ruins, clearing out a room full of [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] before emerging into a circular arena where more snipers and [[Sangheili]] marksmen were stationed. Eventually clearing the area, the team only had a brief moment of respite before a Phantom flew in, deploying a [[Mgalekgolo]] pair onto the platform. After a struggle, the Master Chief managed to slay the gestalts, allowing a Pelican to drop off reinforcements and resupply canisters for the team. Cortana warned the team of a [[Anti-gravity gondola#Installation 05|goldola]] packed with Covenant troops approaching from a structure further out in the lake. The UNSC forces dug in and managed to eliminate all the Covenant on the gondola. Opting to use the gondola, the team were forced to repel a swarm of Yanme'e and another gondola with Covenant troops. As they approached the structure, snipers and Shade turrets opened fire on the UNSC forces, but soon fell. John and the Marines engaged a large group of Kig-Yar and Yanme'e around an elevator shaft. Cortana informed the Spartan that the elevator would carry them to the structures further out in the lake. As the elevator approached, containing a trio of Kig-Yar, the UNSC forces prepared an ambush. Taking advantage of the tight quarters in the elevator, the team quickly slew the Kig-Yar and entered the elevator car. As the elevator carried them under the lake, Cortana intercepted a transmission on the [[Covenant battle network]] from Regret's assault carrier to the Prophets of [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] and [[Prophet of Mercy|Mercy]] in [[High Charity]]. The Prophet of Regret expressed his forgiveness for his rash attack on Earth, arguing that he was unaware of the human presence on the planet or its status as humanity's homeworld, something Cortana considered odd-in reality a fact purposely withheld by the Prophet of Truth from his fellow Hierarchs.<ref>'''[[Halo Waypoint]]''', ''[[Ten Twenty]]''</ref>
