Following his | Following his expedited reawakening and hasty calibration process, John-117 was ordered to report to the bridge with all haste. While en route, he would pass several active firefights as boarders were engaged and largely repelled by the [[UNSC Marine]] [[fireteam]]s, and was eventually met by veteran Marine, [[Chips Dubbo]], who escorted him to the bridge. Shortly after arriving, another blast, caused by an [[antimatter charge]], rocked the ship and brought the ship's primary [[MAC]] gun offline. Consequently, the Spartan was informed that Keyes was enacting the [[Cole Protocol]]; the crew were to be evacuated and Cortana taken by John to ensure she did not fall into Covenant hands. Keyes would fly the ship in manually before evacuating himself. The Spartan left the bridge and proceeded to try and find a lifeboat, fighting through many corridors filled with Covenant. Eventually, the ship began rocking with the impacts of [[plasma torpedo]]es and lifeboats began launching. At the same time, the Covenant boarding craft began to latch onto the now-vacant airlocks to insert troops the same way the UNSC left the ship.{{Ref/Reuse|CEPOA}}{{Ref/Reuse|flood1}} | ||
Two of the [[Unggoy]] personnel assigned to board the ship, [[Yayap]] and [[Gagaw]], were passing a pile of Covenant corpses when they noticed some slight movement - a [[Zuka 'Zamamee|special operations Elite]], clad in black armor. While Gagaw wanted to abandon the Elite as he would do for the grunts, Yayap instead suggested the grunts evacuate the elite, thereby ensuring the small unit would be unable to engage combat for the rest of the boarding action.{{Ref/Reuse|flood1}} | Two of the [[Unggoy]] personnel assigned to board the ship, [[Yayap]] and [[Gagaw]], were passing a pile of Covenant corpses when they noticed some slight movement - a [[Zuka 'Zamamee|special operations Elite]], clad in black armor.
