Nine SPARTANs died immediately, either killed on impact or by Covenant forces. Initial resistance was light, as the Covenant had not yet realized how large the attacking force was. Soon, however, Covenant [[Seraph]]s began making strafing runs, prompting the hiding SPARTANs to abandon their stealth and rush to the factory for safety.

In response, the surviving SPARTANs charged, their speed and reflexes helping them kill hundreds of Covenant soldiers in a brief matter of time. | The Seraphs began bombing the SPARTANs, killing dozens of them.
