In | In [[2552#August|August]] [[2552]]<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 153''</ref>, the city was invaded by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], who proceeded to dig downriver of the city in search of [[Forerunner]] artifacts. This prompted the UNSC to send in a [[company]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] for a snatch-and-run operation; they would steal the artifacts then retreat from the planet. However, a nine-man team of ODSTs had their own agenda. | ||
The nine ODSTs were all [[Colonial Military Administration]] veterans, and felt that they had given enough to the UNSC cause. Their plan was to break into a bank in the city center, and use a spare [[Pelican]] dropship to steal the gold and platinum ingots stored in the bank's vault. Their justification was that the imminent [[glassing]] of the city meant that the valuables "didn't exist anymore", and that the stolen goods wouldn't be missed. The team would use the gold to retire. | The nine ODSTs were all [[Colonial Military Administration]] veterans, and felt that they had given enough to the UNSC cause.

Gage, in shock, went outside to find teammate [[Eric Santiago]], who informed him that the UNSC were falling back. Gage knocked him out with his gun and called for more Pelicans, claiming that they were under heavy fire. He then flew Eric's Pelican to the pickup point collected the artifacts the Covenant were looking for (along with a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile]]), and fled the city. Gage believed that the Covenant forces would follow him in pursuit of the relics. As he was being pursued by Covenant [[Banshee]]s, Gage was "accidentally" shot down by rogue ODSTs who knew of his betrayal. | Gage, in shock, went outside to find teammate [[Eric Santiago]], who informed him that the UNSC were falling back.

Gage crash-landed near the mountains outside the city, and was found mortally wounded by [[The Rookie]], who had arrived with Gage's reinforcements. Gage, who knew he was dying, told the Rookie what had happened up to the Pelican crash. The Rookie, who had listened intently, promised to remember Gage and to do whatever he could against the Covenant. Gage then told the Rookie that Covenant forces and the rogue ODSTs were on their way to the crash site. He warned the Rookie to get as far away as possible, as he planned to detonate the Shiva warhead, killing them all. The Rookie ditched most of his gear, and ran for his life until he reached the other side of the mountain, at which point Gage detonated the nuke, killing himself, his renegade teammates, and thousands of Covenant troops. The city's civilian and military survivors were evacuated and fell back to [[Earth]], having been informed that [[Reach]] had just been attacked.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page | Gage crash-landed near the mountains outside the city, and was found mortally wounded by [[The Rookie]], who had arrived with Gage's reinforcements.
