As Blue Team reached the third level, they received reports lighting up the [[Covenant battle network]] and witnessed numerous [[Covenant starship]]s exiting slipspace. With no chance of reclaiming ''Argent Moon'' against a numerically superior alien force, John changed the team's objective from capture to asset denial. Their plan now was to head to the ship's reactor and shut off its safeties so the reactor would overheat and detonate, destroying the ship, 'Mdama's Covenant aboard, and any Covenant warships surrounding it. | As Blue Team reached the third level, they received reports lighting up the [[Covenant battle network]] and witnessed numerous [[Covenant starship]]s exiting slipspace.

Blue Team continued lower in the ship to reach the reactor, and on the way, encountered the Mgalekgolo pair, ambushing them in a lab. Many more Covenant troops were defending the ship's reactor. After fighting and killing them all, Blue Team deactivated the reactor's failsafe for its overload. However, ''Argent Moon'' responded with automatic safeties, moving the reactor to a cooling center where it could be contained. To ensure its overload, Blue Team followed the reactor to the cooling center in vacuum, using [[ | Blue Team continued lower in the ship to reach the reactor, and on the way, encountered the Mgalekgolo pair, ambushing them in a lab.

With their interference, the cooling system failed and the reactor began overheating, prepping ''Argent Moon's'' destruction. | ||
