After landing on the planet, the team made their way past fortified anti-aircraft emplacements to the city of [[Ciudad de Arias]] where the Beacon was located, with Three hefting a case containing the team's ordnance and supplies. Once in the city, they took position in one of the skyscrapers to assess the Beacon's defenses. After the team observed a large swarm of [[Yanme'e]], [[Kig-yar]] guards and some [[Mgalekgolo]], [[Black-Two]] found an injured, apparently non-hostile Yanme'e. The Drone, nicknamed "[[Hopalong]]", told them of an alternate, secret route to the Beacon. While the rest of the team were suspicious, they decided to trust the Yanme'e. | ||
In the next morning, the team proceeded to move to the Beacon through the tunnels. Equipped with C-12 "blow packs", they went separate ways and planted the explosives on each of the Beacon's four [[Anti-gravity technology|anti-gravity pylons]]. After planting the charges, they were engaged by the Covenant. Meanwhile, Hopalong had acquired a Covenant device and used it to free the rest of the Yanme'e. It was then revealed that the Spartans had been tricked: the Yanme'e, who now begun attacking the Spartans and the Covenant alike, were actually "[[Unmutuals]]", prisoners incapable of socializing with their kind. Three was attacked by several Yanme'e and lifted in the air by their [[antigravity grappler]]s, and while he managed to kill them, he was dropped from a great height and broke his ankle when he landed on the roof of a skyscraper. | In the next morning, the team proceeded to move to the Beacon through the tunnels.
