Silva decides to retake the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' and pilot the ship away in order to avoid being on Halo when the ''Autumn'' blows. The ship is taken successfully, but McKay realizes that Silva is blinded by thoughts of promotion and glory instead of the danger of the Flood; ignoring Wellsley's objections, he fails to realize that if even one Flood specimen escaped containment on [[Earth]], the entire planet could fall. An engineer notifies McKay of a vital power line (should it be severed, the unregulated energy would destroy the ship). Jenkins, who is infected but still coherent, attempts to destroy the line, but falls short. Realizing that the destruction of the Flood is far more important than Silva's promotion, McKay cuts the cable by activating a [[M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenade]], sending the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' crashing into Halo, nose first, killing everything aboard. | ||
At the wrecked ''Autumn'', the Master Chief is forced to destabilize the fusion reactors manually as 343 Guilty Spark and his robotic [[Sentinel]]s try to stop them. On his way to the Engine Room, the Master Chief is nearly infected by the Flood, but Cortana saves him. Once the countdown until detonation has begun, Cortana radios for dropship evacuation, but Covenant aircraft shoot down the transport. A disgruntled Zuka 'Zamamee attempts to ambush the Chief, but is killed by a hail of grenades. Cortana directs the Chief to a [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword Interceptor]] still docked in the ''Pillar of Autumn''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s hangar. Gunning the engines, the Chief and Cortana escape the ring just as the ''Autumn'' explodes, ending the threat of the Flood. Cortana scans for survivors and realizes that they are seemingly the only two who have survived. Cortana tells the Master Chief that the fight is finished, to which the Chief replies, "''No, the Covenant is still out there, and Earth is at risk. We're just getting started.''" | At the wrecked ''Autumn'', the Master Chief is forced to destabilize the fusion reactors manually as 343 Guilty Spark and his robotic [[Sentinel]]s try to stop them.
