Long Night of Solace (level): Difference between revisions

In space, they join the other [[UNSC]] forces in defending the station ''[[Anchor 9]]'' and assist the {{UNSCShip|Savannah}} in hijacking a [[Covenant corvette]], the ''[[Ardent Prayer]]''. Jorge is dropped off at the station ''Anchor 9'', as Noble Six and the remaining Sabres take out the corvette's engines just as it positions itself for a refueling track with the [[Covenant Supercarrier]] ''[[Long Night of Solace]]''. After boarding the corvette, Noble Six and his forces defeat the crew and lock the ship. Jorge arrives in a Pelican carrying a [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|Slipspace Drive]], which was taken from the ''UNSC Savannah''. It is planned that the Slipspace Drive would be used as an improvised bomb, to be activated in the corvette's hangar in order to destroy the Supercarrier when they get close enough. However, Covenant forces soon arrive to destroy the "bomb". Though the Covenant forces are successfully neutralized, the Pelican becomes damaged and unable to fly, leaving a space-jump as the only way off the Corvette. Slipspace Drive's timer is also damaged, forcing Jorge to stay behind and activate it manually. Noble Six is spared when he gets shoved out of the corvette by Jorge, just before the Slipspace Drive is activated. The Drive, when activated, creates a massive Slipspace rupture that transports Jorge, the corvette, and the center of the supercarrier to an unknown location. For a very brief period of time, it is believed that the Covenant attack force in Reach was entirely neutralized by Jorge's sacrifice, but the massive Covenant [[Fleet of Particular Justice]] (the real attack force) arrives in-system just moments later.
