By this point, NOBLE Team had been reduced to four members, with [[Jorge-052]] and [[Kat-B320]] having been killed in action during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]]<ref>''[[Halo: Reach]]'', campaign level, [[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]</ref> and the [[Siege of New Alexandria]],<ref>''[[Halo: Reach]]'', campaign level, [[ | By this point, NOBLE Team had been reduced to four members, with [[Jorge-052]] and [[Kat-B320]] having been killed in action during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]]<ref>''[[Halo: Reach]]'', campaign level, [[Long Night of Solace (level)|Long Night of Solace]]</ref> and the [[Siege of New Alexandria]],<ref>''[[Halo: Reach]]'', campaign level, [[New Alexandria]]</ref> respectively. [[Jun-A266]] had been ordered to defend Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] and to escort her away from the [[Forerunner]] [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|complex]] near [[SWORD Base]] to another [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] facility, [[CASTLE Base]].<ref name="The Package" /> Thus, by August 30, Noble Team was effectively reduced to three operational members, including its field leader, [[Carter-A259]], as well as [[Emile-A239]], Noble Four, and [[SPARTAN-B312]], Noble Six. The three had escaped SWORD Base, bearing a fragment of the AI Cortana, which contained data from the [[Forerunner]] ruins beneath the [[Babd Catha Ice Shelf]].<ref>''Halo: Reach'', campaign level, [[The Package]]</ref> The ''Pillar of Autumn'', docked at the Asźod facility and awaited the team's arrival with this high value package. The ''Pillar of Autumn''{{'}}s commanding officer, [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes]], deployed a number of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] to other parts of the ship-breaking facility to stall the Covenant advance and to allow Noble Team to break through and deliver the package. | ||
En route to the facility, the Covenant's air superiority made itself apparent to the survivors of Noble Team. Their [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] was attacked by Covenant aircraft, and Carter, the team leader, was seriously injured by plasma fire. Realizing that the Pelican would be shot down before reaching the ''Pillar of Autumn'', Carter ordered Emile and SPARTAN-B312 to jump from the crippled dropship while he attempted to lure the Covenant away. Emile and SPARTAN-B312 landed in Covenant-occupied territory on the main road to the shipyard. | En route to the facility, the Covenant's air superiority made itself apparent to the survivors of Noble Team.
