Taking the Pelican's [[Anvil-II air-to-surface missile|ANVIL-II AS]] missiles, all the Spartans used [[thruster pack]]s to direct themselves into a hull breach in ''Unrelenting'', however only Kelly, Sam, and John made it inside.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 148'' (2010 edition)</ref> Inside the ship, they engaged [[Kig-Yar]] soldiers, one of which created a breach in Sam's armor.
