The '''Raid on Installation 08''' was a small yet crucially significant engagement between the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]-[[Fleet of Retribution|Sangheili]] alliance, [[the Flood]] and later the [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel]]s acting under [[343 Guilty Spark]]'s orders. It took place immediately after the [[Raid on High Charity|raid]] on [[High Charity]] and marked the end of both the [[Battle of Installation 00]] and the [[Human-Covenant War]] as an era.<ref>'''[[Halo 3]]''', campaign level ''[[Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo]]''</ref> | The '''Raid on Installation 08''' was a small yet crucially significant engagement between the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]-[[Fleet of Retribution|Sangheili]] alliance, [[the Flood]] and later the [[Forerunner]] [[Sentinel]]s acting under [[343 Guilty Spark]]'s orders.

The team made their way out of the vicinity of the tower and commandeered an abandoned [[Warthog]] left behind by Sergeant Johnson. With the vehicle, the team rode to the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' as fast as they could, passing through a labyrinth of construction tunnels, and collapsing platforms.

The team eventually made it to the ''Dawn'', John floored the pedal and sped the warthog off a ramp, crash-landing into the ship's cargo bay. Thel nodded respectfully to his Spartan comrade and quickly climbed to the bridge and started piloting the ship to safety. Vehicles and cargo started to fall out as the ship took off while John struggled to hold on in the cargo bay of the vessel after securely placing Cortana inside the bay's [[Holotank]]. A warthog slammed into him causing him to lose his grip and fall. John managed to grab onto the edge of the bay and ducked beneath a falling tank. As they approached the Portal Cortana expressed concern to which John comforted her saying "We'll make it." The incomplete Installation fired, causing it to explode and severely damage the Ark. Master Chief John-117, Cortana, and Arbiter Thel 'Vadam had escaped.{{clear}} | |||
