His team was successful, and they subsequently retreated to a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] for dust off with no casualties, and only one Spartan injured ([[James (SPARTAN-II)|James]]), as the entire city, and tens of thousands of Covenant within it, were vaporized in the nuclear blast. | ||

Once landed, Joshua found a [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]] and was the first Spartan to arrive at [[ODG Facility A-331]], and spot [[Charlie Company]]. He then radioed Fred and the Spartans were able to regroup at the facility. Fred then ordered Joshua to recon the area. Joshua was the Spartan who spotted a Covenant landing zone and patched the image through to Fred using his [[COM]]<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 21.</ref>. Joshua, Fred, and [[Kelly-087]] then piloted [[Banshees]] toward the [[Gravity Lift]] of the Covenant cruiser and threw a [[Fury Tactical Nukes|Fury Tac Nuke]] into it. However, as the Banshees neared the lift, Covenant fired their [[Plasma Cannon]]s at the Banshees, hitting Joshua's Banshee. He was last seen trailing smoke and losing altitude just before the Fury Tactical Nuke destroyed the area<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 29.</ref>. | Once landed, Joshua found a [[SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle|Sniper Rifle]] and was the first Spartan to arrive at [[ODG Facility A-331]], and spot [[Charlie Company]].

If he crashed, it is unlikely that he survived the blast, and even more unlikely that he survived the subsequent [[glassing]] of Reach.
