 The Marines exited the city but were pursued by Covenant ground forces. Not wishing to lose a foothold on Arcadia, Cutter ordered them to secure a defensible position and hold it until they could be reinforced with more bodies. Serina recommended an impact crater a few clicks south along a highway. Captain Cutter notified other UNSC troops retreating from Pirth City of their position and let Sergeant Forge know that he was directing them his way. The captain monitored the fighting and congratulated the marines on their ability to withstand the Covenant forces and even establish two bases in the area. With the assistance of [[Spartan]] [[Team Omega]], the sector was cleared of Covenant. As soon as the hostilities ceased, Cutter contacted Forge and ordered him to report to the bridge on the ''Spirit of Fire'' to be briefed on a new problem. The Covenant had set up a massive domed [[energy shield]] next to [[Arcadia ONI facility|an ONI base]]. The shield obscured all activity within it, which made both Cutter and Anders suspicious. Cutter suggested using the ship's magnetic accelerator against it, but the professor cautioned against potentially destroying [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|what was beneath]] the shield without knowing what it was. Instead, she recommended a more precise approach. The nearby ''Pillar of Autumn'''s inventory showed that it was carrying some [[M145D Rhino]] prototypes, artillery tanks armed with ''Zeus'' [[XM4600 Zeus plasma munition howitzer|320mm plasma cannon]]s reverse-engineered from Covenant [[plasma weaponry]]. [[File:Anderssignal1.png|thumb|300px|left|Captain. Cutter, Sergeant Forge, and Jerome-092 are forced to quickly decide how to proceed after Anders' abduction.]]Theoretically, using superheated [[plasma]] against the shield could disable it without doing damage to what lied beneath it. Cutter thought her idea a fine one. He put Anders and Forge in charge of getting the shield down and moved to make the arrangements necessary to acquire the Rhinos. The plan worked perfectly. Once the shield was no more, Cutter had the UNSC forces moved forward to investigate what it had been hiding. They were met by a partially-built [[Type-29 Scarab]], which the captain ordered them to destroy. To this end, he identified power nodes in the vicinity that were supplying it with energy and advised that they become targets in order to reduce its efficiency in defending itself. Once the threat had been eliminated, Cutter praised the efforts of the men and women on the ground.

Cutter demanded to know how Anders had been taken but all Forge could say was that a massive Elite had come out of nowhere. Furious, Cutter ordered him to return to the ship on the double.

 's port side where D20 Herons were docked. Serina alerted the captain that the Covenant vessel was charging its weapons to engage them and Cutter shouted for everyone to assume battle stations and to bring their own weapons online. Seeing as there were still marines attached to the outer hull, he had Serina tell them that they weren't done out there yet. In the ensuing battle, the ''Spirit'''s power core took heavy damage and Cutter directed Forge to repair it with [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) Cyclops]]es all the while continuing to defend against the Covenant assault. Once the core was fixed, Cutter had Serina speed them away.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', campaign level ''[[Repairs]]''</ref>
