Miranda Keyes, commanding ''Forward Unto Dawn'', then traveled with [[Ship Master]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] and a [[Covenant separatists|Covenant separatist]] fleet to [[Installation 00]]; they arrived on [[2552#December|December 11]]<ref name="Fortitude"/> During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], she landed troops and large quantities of weaponry and armor on the Ark, largely to supplement John-117's search for the [[cartographer]] facility. When John-117 located Truth at The Ark's [[Citadel (Forerunner)|control room]], she dispatched several Pelican Dropships to deactivate the shield protecting the control room. When Sergeant Johnson was captured by Truth's forces in the course of this battle, Keyes asked the Chief how close he was to stopping Truth. | Miranda Keyes, commanding ''Forward Unto Dawn'', then traveled with [[Ship Master]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]] and a [[Covenant separatists|Covenant separatist]] fleet to [[Installation 00]]; they arrived on [[2552#December|December 11]]<ref name="Fortitude"/> During the [[Battle of Installation 00]], she landed troops and large quantities of weaponry and armor on the Ark, largely to supplement John-117's search for the [[cartographer]] facility.

Realizing that he and Thel 'Vadam would never get there in time to stop Truth, Keyes decided to stall Truth herself. She crashed her Pelican at Truth's position, intending to rescue Johnson. She exited her Pelican with an [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|M90A Shotgun]] and an [[M6G Pistol]]. She was able to kill two Brutes, and wounded (some fatally) several others but ultimately found herself outnumbered. Johnson demanded that she kill them both in order to halt Truth's plans. Keyes, unwilling to harm Johnson, hesitated. As she paused, the Prophet of Truth shot her in the back seven times with a [[Spiker]], killing her. Her death greatly disheartened and demoralized Johnson, who was subsequently used to activate the Ark. Truth commented on Keyes' unwillingness to kill Johnson, claiming that humans were weak which was why the Forerunners had left them behind. | Realizing that he and Thel 'Vadam would never get there in time to stop Truth, Keyes decided to stall Truth herself.

After the Master Chief and the Arbiter stopped Truth, Keyes' body was subsequently rescued from Flood infection by Johnson, who carried her into the Pelican which he used to escape The Ark's control room. It is likely that her body was taken back to Earth, and buried there. Her face is later seen in a photograph on the [[Hillside Memorial|Memorial]] to the Fallen on a hillside overlooking the Portal to The Ark, near the photograph of Avery Johnson and the service number of Master Chief John-117. | After the Master Chief and the Arbiter stopped Truth, Keyes' body was subsequently rescued from Flood infection by Johnson, who carried her into the Pelican which he used to escape The Ark's control room.
