{{Quote|Don't look like any '[[Unyielding Hierophant|uneven elephant]]' to me-more like two squid kissing. Whatever it is, damned glad its going to blow up. Nice job-almost as good as if we sent in the marines.|Sergeant Johnson}} | |||
While the crew of the ''G.A.J.'' were able to retrieve a few shards of the crystal, they had more important things on mind: the Covenant invasion of Earth. Cortana knew that they were gathering at a battle station called the ''[[Unyielding Hierophant]]''. The Chief came up with a daring plan to blow up the station and put a sizable dent in the fleet: he and the Spartans will go to the station in a modified dropship, infiltrate the station, and blow up the reactors, with help from a copy of Cortana. | While the crew of the ''G.A.J.'' were able to retrieve a few shards of the crystal, they had more important things on mind: the Covenant invasion of Earth.

The Spartans made it to the station without incident, but were forced to take a detour through a temple complex. There, they encountered [[Brutes]] for the first time. The Chief grappled with a Brute, and barely made it out alive. Grace was killed by [[Brute shots]]. They still managed to make it to the reactors, and they were successfully rigged to explode. The remaining Spartans exited the station, but only saw the ''Gettysburg'' when they made it back to the ''G.A.J.''. The crew had taken the ''Ascendant Justice'''s Slipspace engine and installed it on the ''Gettysburg'', while Whitcomb and Haverson had taken the Covenant ship. They broadcasted a message to the fleet that if they wanted the crystal's shards (which they had for proof), all they had to do was come and get them from the ''Ascendant Justice'' - which they had impaled into the central section of the ''Unyielding Hierophant''. When the ''Unyielding Hierophant'' exploded, it destroyed some five hundred ships of the Covenant invasion force leaving roughly a dozen ships to attack Earth.
