Upon arriving at [[Installation 05]], having followed ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' into [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] from [[Earth]], the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} deployed John-117 and a team of ODSTs via [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pod]] to secure an initial landing zone that would allow further reinforcements to be deployed to aid in their mission to assassinate the [[Prophet of Regret]]. At a Covenant-held bridge, the presence of multiple Wraiths necessitated the deployment of an M808B Scorpion tank. Using the armored vehicle, John-117 spearheaded the push through multiple Covenant-occupied Forerunner structures before having to leave the tank to proceed deeper into the ruins.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Delta Halo]]</ref> A short time later, Commander [[Miranda Keyes]] deployed the rest of the ''In Amber Clad's'' forces, including a number of M808B Scorpions into the installation's [[quarantine zone]] in search of the [[Activation index]], seeking to keep it out of the Covenant's hands. Upon the deactivation of the [[containment shield]] by [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee, the Flood were unleashed upon the UNSC forces. By the time 'Vadamee and his team of [[Special Operations Sangheili]] passed through the quarantine zone on their way to the [[Library]], many of these tanks had been captured by the Flood, who were using them, along with other UNSC and Covenant vehicles, to great effect against the [[Sentinel]] defenders.<ref>'''Halo 2''', campaign level ''[[Quarantine Zone]]</ref> | Upon arriving at [[Installation 05]], having followed ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' into [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] from [[Earth]], the {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}} deployed John-117 and a team of ODSTs via [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pod]] to secure an initial landing zone that would allow further reinforcements to be deployed to aid in their mission to assassinate the [[Prophet of Regret]].
