Battle for the Control Room (Installation 05): Difference between revisions

Thel 'Vadamee arrived on a cliff overlooking Installation 05's control room. He immediately located a [[Type-25 plasma rifle|plasma rifle]] lying on ground smeared with Sangheili [[blood]]. As he moved towards a downed Sangheili [[Sangheili Minor|Minor]], he heard and saw distant plasma fire as Jiralhanae troops killed off the last remaining Sangheili on the cliffs. In his final breath, the Minor warned Thel of the massacre of the Sangheili Councilors by the Jiralhanae. Taking the fallen warrior's [[Type-1 energy sword|energy sword]], the Arbiter slew a trio of Jiralhanae that were pondering what to do with the Sangheili corpses. The captain in command of the Jiralhanae [[Pack|pack]] on the cliff ordered his men to find the Brutes that had failed to report in. Thel promptly engaged the pack in combat, and was assisted by a [[Active camouflage|camouflaged]] [[Special Operations Sangheili]] who emerged from the nearby structure. Once the area was clear, the Special Operations Sangheili confirmed the death of the Councilors and vowed to avenge them. A trio of [[Covenant drop pod|Covenant drop pods]] arrived in the canyon; Sangheili reinforcements including a [[Sangheili Zealot|Zealot]] who was eager to go to war against the Brutes. The group of Sangheili formed up and moved through the structure into a cave with several [[Forerunner]] platforms where Jiralhanae and [[Kig-Yar]] patrolling. The group of Sangheili fought their way through the cave, killing groups of Jiralhanae, Kig-Yar and [[Yanme'e]] while unpinning a pair of [[Unggoy]] who supported the [[Covenant separatists|separatist]] cause.<ref name="uprising">'''[[Halo 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Uprising]]''</ref>

   

Thel and his allies fought their way through several more rooms containing Jiralhanae and Kig-Yar occupying positions fortified by [[Type-27 Shade|Shade]] turrets and encountering scattered Sangheili and Unggoy who assisted the separatists in their push. Eventually, the group made it outside the structure, where they eliminated a large pack of Jiralhanae before commandeering their parked [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]]. Now mobilized, Thel and his allies attacked a larger Covenant camp, overcoming several waves of Jiralhanae and Kig-Yar reinforcements. In the next camp, they assisted a cowering Unggoy by killing it's Kig-Yar overseer. The Unggoy mounted a nearby Shade and assisted the team in destroying the rest of the Covenant forces in the camp, including a Jiralhanae-operated [[Type-46 Spectre|Spectre]] which arrived from the camp's exit. The separatist movement pressed onward, wiping out a small camp of Kig-Yar before reaching a shallow river where Jiralhanae forces attempted to detonate a number of [[Plasma battery|plasma batteries]] with their [[Type-25 Brute Shot|Brute Shots]]. This attempt failed and all of the Covenant troops were wiped out. Thel and his allies arrived at a heavily-fortified [[Jiralhanae encampment|encampment]] where the Jiralhanae had stockpiled an assortment of UNSC and Covenant weaponry. The team were forced to destroy a pair of [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraiths]], as well as a number of Kig-Yar [[Kig-Yar Sniper|snipers]] before they could enter the structure. Over the course of the battle, several more Sangheili arrived in drop pods to reinforce the group. As they made their way through the structure, the Sangheili accompanying Thel expressed their disgust at the weaponry the Brutes had stockpiled. A final group of Covenant including a pair of Ghosts guarding a nearby cave attempted to halt the separatists but were destroyed. Thel proceeded through the cave alone.<ref name="uprising"/>
