Kelly's injuries turned out to be life-threatening; she had a fever and low blood pressure due to moderate bleeding in her liver, and one of her lungs had completely collapsed. Dr. Halsey noted that it was amazing Kelly was still alive, let alone still fighting, despite these two potentially fatal conditions.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 124'' (''"That the woman was still on her feet, let alone fighting, was tantamount to an act of God."'')</ref> | Kelly's injuries turned out to be life-threatening; she had a fever and low blood pressure due to moderate bleeding in her liver, and one of her lungs had completely collapsed.

The Covenant attacked immediately and Dr. Halsey was forced to activate [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE]]. In addition, she gave the Spartans new MJOLNIR parts which were being field-tested, but had not yet been certified.

After exploring the vast complex for some time, the five Spartans and Dr. Halsey discovered a [[Forerunner crystal]] at the center of a vast chamber. | ||
The crystal sent a spike of radiation that allowed the Covenant to triangulate on the Spartans' position. The Covenant breached the underground complex, and used a gravity lift to send massive amounts of ground forces inside. The group was forced to retreat, but Vinh and Isaac disappeared after their [[satchel charge]]s exploded. Kelly, Fred, Will and Dr. Halsey were then trapped in a cavern for several days until they were rescued by John-117, [[Anton-044]], and Admiral Whitcomb.

With burns on seventy two percent of her body, she required [[dermacortic steroids]] to recover. | The crystal sent a spike of radiation that allowed the Covenant to triangulate on the Spartans' position.
