When they wanted to help their sergeant, who got ambushed, the Sergeant got killed. Geoff escaped in a Ghost, while Wang covered him. Followed by two ghosts and Banshees, his ghost got shot down, but he was just in time saved by the Master Chief. the two of them where the only survivors of the mission.
