 ===Arrival at Reach===
+The [[Ascendant Justice]] arrived seven hundred thousand kilometers<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]] pg. 154</ref> from [[Reach]] where her crew assessed the situation.  They noticed several of ships in orbit along with an orbital docking station and that the planet had mostly been glassed.  However, a small spot that had not been destroyed perked the interest of both the John-117 and Lieutenant Haverson, the former because it meant that there might be survivors from the Spartan team, the latter because of the Covenant's obvious interest in that spot.
+When they arrived at Reach, they sent all the standard responses to indicate that they were still Covenant controlled.  The Ascendant Justice was supposed to have a high ranking person on board so the Covenant did not question their authority to be there and thus, the charade proceeded.  From here, they were able to determine that the enemy fleet consisted of a dozen Cruisers and a pair of Carriers.  They also spotted a pile of debris where all the leftover Covenant and UNSC ships that had fallen in the [[Battle of Reach]] were being kept.  They also picked up a weak transmission which the Master Chief, alone, recognized it: it was the Spartan ''[[Oly Oly Oxen Free]]'' signal.  From this, he knew that there were Spartans alive on the planet.
