Meanwhile, ''In Amber Clad'' trailed behind and [[Miranda Keyes|Commander Miranda Keyes]], captain of ''In Amber Clad'', ordered a [[platoon]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s and [[John-117]] to establish a [[landing zone]] near a series of ruins and temples on Installation 05 to allow [[Avery Johnson|Sergeant Major Avery Johnson]] to bring in two [[D77-TC Pelican]]s to further expand the UNSC presence. The frigate made a quick pass-over of a segment of the ringworld, deploying a dozen [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV pods]]. Most survived the atmospheric insertion to the surface of the ring, but only four personnel eventually survived to make landfall—John-117 and three ODSTs. However, before they could land in the ruins, they were detected by the Covenant. Upon landing, SPARTAN-117 led the ODSTs in eliminating Covenant Shades and holding their position against waves of Covenant troops until a Pelican could drop off | Meanwhile, ''In Amber Clad'' trailed behind and [[Miranda Keyes|Commander Miranda Keyes]], captain of ''In Amber Clad'', ordered a [[platoon]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s and [[John-117]] to establish a [[landing zone]] near a series of ruins and temples on Installation 05 to allow [[Avery Johnson|Sergeant Major Avery Johnson]] to bring in two [[D77-TC Pelican]]s to further expand the UNSC presence.

Upon landing, SPARTAN-117 led the ODSTs in eliminating Covenant Shades and holding their position against waves of Covenant troops until a Pelican could drop off an [[M12 Warthog LRV]] and a pair of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]. Although a major objective for John-117 and the Marines was to capture or assassinate the Prophet of Regret, the most important UNSC objective was to prevent the Covenant from activating the installation to fulfill what they would later learn to be the supposed [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]]. To do this, UNSC forces had to infiltrate the [[Library]], retrieve the [[activation index]] to prevent the Covenant from using it to activate Installation 05.<ref name="deltahalo"/> | ||
After [[Cortana]] translated a sermon from the Prophet of Regret, the UNSC became aware that the Covenant was intending to activate Installation 05. Regret's elimination became the primary objective for John-117, as his death would destabilize the Covenant politically and religiously. John-117 and a pair of Marines battled through a pair of Covenant-held temples before reaching an open platform. At the time, the Covenant became aware of UNSC activity and became increasingly aggressive, so Commander Keyes sent several Pelicans towards John-117, which air-dropped more resupply canisters on the platform. The UNSC continued their attack, proceeding from the platform to an [[anti-gravity gondola]] which took John-117 and his remaining Marines to a heavily-defended Forerunner underwater temple with a heavy Covenant presence. After emerging from the submerged temple at a hilly Forerunner ruin, they were engaged by more Covenant infantry reinforced by Phantoms attempting to halt the UNSC advance.<ref name="regret">'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Regret (level)|Regret]]''</ref> | After [[Cortana]] translated a sermon from the Prophet of Regret, the UNSC became aware that the Covenant was intending to activate Installation 05.
