The Spartan was deployed to a jungle on Gamma Halo via [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|HEV]], where he battled his way through Covenant forces and destroyed the five signal jammers.<ref | When the Covenant succeeded in recovering the Conduit, they brought it to the [[Altar]] on Installation 03.
