Prior to the Fall of Reach, Jorge-052 along with other members of Noble Team investigated an incident over at [[Visegrad Relay]], only to discover that Covenant forces had bypassed Reach's defenses and infiltrated key installations and communications centers.<ref name="winter">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]''</ref> During the preliminary stages of the Covenant invasion of Reach, Jorge and Noble Team partook in multiple operations against Covenant forces on the surface of Reach, including a counter-offensive operation to retake [[Sword Base]] and a large-scale UNSC assault on a Covenant-occupied site and neutralization of a [[Spire One|Covenant Spire]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''' campaign level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Reach''' campaign level ''[[Tip of The Spear]]''</ref> | Prior to the Fall of Reach, Jorge-052 along with other members of Noble Team investigated an incident over at [[Visegrad Relay]], only to discover that Covenant forces had bypassed Reach's defenses and infiltrated key installations and communications centers.<ref name="winter">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]''</ref> During the preliminary stages of the Covenant invasion of Reach, Jorge and Noble Team partook in multiple operations against Covenant forces on the surface of Reach, including a counter-offensive operation to retake [[Sword Base]] and a large-scale UNSC assault on a Covenant-occupied site and neutralization of a [[Spire One|Covenant Spire]].<ref>'''Halo: Reach''' campaign level ''[[ONI: Sword Base]]''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Reach''' campaign level ''[[Tip of The Spear]]''</ref> | ||
Realizing the presence of the [[Long Night of Solace|Covenant supercarrier]] after the [[Battle of Viery]] as a great threat, the team devised [[Operation: | Realizing the presence of the [[Long Night of Solace|Covenant supercarrier]] after the [[Battle of Viery]] as a great threat, the team devised [[Operation: UPPER CUT]]; a tactic which involved using a [[YSS-1000|YSS-1000 ''"Sabre"''-class starfighter]] to deliver a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|makeshift slipspace bomb]] to the supercarrier and destroy it via a slipspace rupture.<ref name="lnos"/> After receiving authorization from [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]], the team traveled to a [[Sabre Program Launch/Research Range|besieged base]] and assisted the UNSC forces in repelling the Covenant forces. Jorge-052 and Noble Six boarded a Sabre and launched into space to join the [[Epsilon Eridani Defense Fleet]].<ref name="lnos"/> | ||
After rendezvousing with the UNSC fleet, the Sabres helped in repelling the Covenant invasion force and escorted the {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} in commandeering a [[Ardent Prayer|Covenant corvette]].<ref name="lnos">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> The ''Savannah'' diverted the Corvette's fire, allowing Noble Six to infiltrate the ship's hull and allow a Pelican carrying Jorge and the bomb inside the ship. Jorge and Six then used the hijacked Corvette, which was on course toward the supercarrier to refuel, to transport the the slipspace device within range of the Supercarrier.<ref name="lnos"/> After they had taken control of the Corvette, Jorge discovered that they were not only cut off from their Sabres, the thrusters on the Pelican were damaged during the firefight, and that in order for them to return to Reach, the SPARTANS would have to free-fall back to the planet's surface. He also found that the timing device that would have been used to activate the SFTE was also damaged, and the only alternative would be to trigger it manually. | After rendezvousing with the UNSC fleet, the Sabres helped in repelling the Covenant invasion force and escorted the {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} in commandeering a [[Ardent Prayer|Covenant corvette]].<ref name="lnos">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''</ref> The ''Savannah'' diverted the Corvette's fire, allowing Noble Six to infiltrate the ship's hull and allow a Pelican carrying Jorge and the bomb inside the ship.

Jorge resolved that he would stay to activate the slipspace device himself, and, presuming that doing so would cost him his life, he entrusted Noble Six with his dog tags before forcing B312 off the Covenant Corvette. His last known words, which were to Six, were "Tell them to make it count." As Six drifted away from the ship, Jorge activated the bomb, opening a slipspace rupture that enveloped the Corvette and a large portion of the Supercarrier's mid-section, sending it into the slipstream with no way out.<ref name="lnos"/> | Jorge resolved that he would stay to activate the slipspace device himself, and, presuming that doing so would cost him his life, he entrusted Noble Six with his dog tags before forcing B312 off the Covenant Corvette.
