As scientists at [[Galileo Base]] studied "the [[Didact's Gift]]" to make sure it was safe for transport to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, [[Spartan-IV|Spartans]] [[Robert Dalton]] and [[Jared Miller]] detected [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces on their way, including several dozen [[ | As scientists at [[Galileo Base]] studied "the [[Didact's Gift]]" to make sure it was safe for transport to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, [[Spartan-IV|Spartans]] [[Robert Dalton]] and [[Jared Miller]] detected [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] forces on their way, including several dozen [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]]. The Phantoms began dropping off massive numbers of Covenant troops into the base, including several [[Type-32 Ghost|Ghosts]]. However, [[Fireteam Crimson]] managed to fend off the repeated waves as Miller and Spartan [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer]] realized that the base's defenses were offline and couldn't be activated remotely either. | ||
As the battle continued, Palmer contacted Doctor [[Shannon Owen]] who realized that Doctor [[Cameron Alexander]] had gone against her orders not to divert power away from the base's defenses in order to power a mini-reactor. As a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] pair was dropped into the base, Miller was able to determine where the turret power had been routed to and directed Crimson to the location. Fighting through the heavy Covenant forces, Crimson managed to reactivate the turret defenses which shot down the attacking Covenant Phantoms. With the Phantoms destroyed, Crimson was able to clear out the remaining Covenant forces. | As the battle continued, Palmer contacted Doctor [[Shannon Owen]] who realized that Doctor [[Cameron Alexander]] had gone against her orders not to divert power away from the base's defenses in order to power a mini-reactor.

Recognizing that an attempt to flee by air would be fatal, [[Spartan-IV|Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]] hijacked one of the Banshees and used it to shoot down the Phantom. | ||
Watching the battle from a nearby cliff, [[Jul 'Mdama]] ordered the attack called off despite the protests of [[Gek 'Lhar]], satisfied that they had made enough of a display trying to retake "the Didact's Gift." The remaining Covenant forces retreated, ending the battle.{{Ref/Reuse|Memento Mori}} | Watching the battle from a nearby cliff, [[Jul 'Mdama]] ordered the attack called off despite the protests of [[Gek 'Lhar]], satisfied that they had made enough of a display trying to retake "the Didact's Gift."
