Meanwhile, out in space, [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana]], along with the last survivors of [[Installation 04]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]], find out that one of the cryotubes that Master Chief found contains [[SPARTAN-058|Linda-058]]. The others had contained marines, but they had died due to cryotube malfunction. While in the [[Longsword]] the Master Chief strips off some pieces from the craft, to reinforce a [[DX-class Spirit Dropship|Covenant dropship]] they are going to use. As they walk into the hanger of the Ascendant Justice, Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson witness Polaski practicing how to drive a Covenant dropship. As they enter [[Epsilon Eridani]], they see what has happened to Reach after the Covenant glassed the planet. They move the flagship closer as they notice that, during the glassing of Reach the Covenant "missed" a spot. The small fleet - consisting of a dozen cruisers, two assault carriers, and three squadrons of [[seraph]]s - ask why a flagship is at Reach. While on the ship, the survivors hear a UNSC E-band transmission (the E-band transmission is 5 notes "''Oly Oly Oxen Free''"). No one on the bridge recognizes it - except the Master Chief. The section then returns to July 14, 2523 | Meanwhile, out in space, [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana]], along with the last survivors of [[Installation 04]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]], find out that one of the cryotubes that Master Chief found contains [[SPARTAN-058|Linda-058]].

Back on ''Ascendant Justice'', the human crew debate whether they should go down to Reach in the reinforced Covenant dropship. Cortana looks around to see a spot which can be a extraction site to pick up the people going down to [[Reach]]. On the way down, cruisers start to surround them in their dropship. The humans find a canyon with some movement in it. Before landing Master Chief says the code for "''Oly Oly Oxen Free''" and says to land them in a safe spot where the survivors would find them. The Chief wanders out alone to see if there is a trap. Haverson backs him up. At the bottom of the ramp Chief senses a single signal. The friend-or-foe tag indicating who it belonged to, so the chief proceeded with cation. The Chief drew his pistol only to lower it descovering that it was [[Spartan-044|Anton-044]] who had disabled his FoF tag so the Covenant wouldn't discover his location. He led the Master Chief to the entrance of a cavern, where two Spartans, [[Spartan-093|Grace-093]] and [[Spartan-008|Li-008]] were, both operating chainguns that were bolted to the sides of two boulders. The Master Chief and Anton, followed by Grace, went into the cavern. Inside, Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb was standing at foldout card table, which was the headquarters for Camp Independence. | Back on ''Ascendant Justice'', the human crew debate whether they should go down to Reach in the reinforced Covenant dropship.
