Back on solid ground, the Spartans aren't given much time to recover before the attacking Seraphs make another pass. Blue Team is forced into a defensive hold while attempting to unload their cargo and crew from the wreckage of the Owl. After briefly gaining control of the situation thanks to Fred's improvisation with the excavation equipment's [[plasma drill]], John notices the sigil of the [[Banished]] on the hull of a downed Seraph, revealing that the ruthless faction of mercenaries had occupied Reach. As per protocol, the Owl is destroyed via an internally-stored [[octanitrocubane]] charge to cover their tracks. | Back on solid ground, the Spartans aren't given much time to recover before the attacking Seraphs make another pass.

Meanwhile, [[Castor]], a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Dokab]] of the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], investigates the charred remains of the insertion craft, considering why the [[human]]s might have come to Reach. He and [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]], a [[Sangheili]] [[blademaster]] serving the Banished, consider the possibility that it may be for the same reason that the Banished and their newly acquired [[Covenant remnants|factions]]—the Keepers of the One Freedom, the [[Legion of the Corpse-Moon]], and the [[Ravaged Tusks]]—are on the planet. War Chief [[Escharum]] had sent forces to the glassed world to search for a fabled [[Portal under the Mountain|portal]] to the [[Installation 00|Ark]]. Atriox had contacted him, ordering the portal to be found and opened for him to return to the [[Milky Way|galaxy]]. As such, Castor orders his forces to follow the humans in hopes that they will lead the way to the portal. | Meanwhile, [[Castor]], a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Dokab]] of the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], investigates the charred remains of the insertion craft, considering why the [[human]]s might have come to Reach.

Blue Team gets clear of their landing zone and starts the long trek to CASTLE Base. Not long after they get moving, another wave of Banished reinforcements close on their position. With very little in the way of cover, Blue Team is soon forced into the [[Arany Basin]] where a number of pioneer settlements had been set up by colonists intending to retake their homeworld. The Spartans notice that the nearest of these settlements had been raided and taken over by the Banished. As they move into the basin with the intent of reaching the settlement, they are attacked by waves of [[Banished Banshee|Banshees]]; John's leg is critically injured and Fred receives a severe concussion. Before reaching the outpost, John, Fred, and Kelly are forced to take shelter in a winding passage beneath the glass. John's [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR [GEN3]]] armor stabilizes his wound, but Fred will need greater medical attention than his armor can provide. While John recollects himself, they are found by members of the [[Viery Militia]] and taken back to their makeshift base of operations. Linda and "''Special'' Crew," as the flight crew of the ''Special Delivery'' had come to be called, found their own way through the subterranean caves of glass. | Blue Team gets clear of their landing zone and starts the long trek to CASTLE Base.
