The Master Chief made his way to the atrium where the Composer was stored only to be informed that the Covenant had shot down the station's first evac shuttle. Recognizing that the station had outer turrets, Cortana instructed the Master Chief to take her to the controls so she could reprogram the turrets to cover the station's evacuation. The Master Chief reentered the main structure of the station and resumed fighting through the various corridors, facing Covenant boarding parties at two sets of airlocks as the Didact kept scanning the station for the Composer. Finally, the Master Chief reached the control area and after eliminating the two cloaked [[Sangheili Zealot]]s located there, inserted Cortana into the control systems. Cortana, despite her rampancy growing ever worse, was able to activate Ivanoff Station's [[Mark 2488 Onager|Onager cannons]] and have them fire on the Covenant ships besieging the station. The Master Chief alerted Tillson who promised to issue the final evac orders and instructed him to meet her and her crew back on the upper platform where they would help the Master Chief get their nuke to the Composer.

Fighting his way back to the atrium, the Master Chief discovered that Covenant forces had found the Composer. To keep the Covenant from warning the Didact, the Master Chief took control of a nearby [[Mantis]] and engaged Covenant forces made up of [[Ghost]]s, [[Wraith]]s, [[Banshee]]s, Phantoms and ground troops dropped by the Phantoms. During the fight, the Master Chief contacted Tillson for his nuke, but was warned that it was not ready yet. After multiple waves of enemies, the surviving Covenant forces retreated from the atrium. Unable to raise Tillson, the Master Chief made his way to a nearby elevator to find her. As the elevator took him higher into the station, the Didact finally located the Composer and used ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'s'' tractor beam to remove it from the station, removing the roof of the atrium entirely and disrupting Cortana so much in her rampant state that the Master Chief had to help her focus again to get her to find Tillson.

Reaching Tillson, the Master Chief warned her that the Didact had the Composer and that she needed to evac her remaining people. The Master Chief inserted Cortana into the station's systems and ordered her to find something that could carry a payload. Noticing the Composer charging, the Master Chief asked Cortana to reactivate the station's defenses, but she was unable to. The Didact fired the Composer at the station, digitizing everyone aboard except the Master Chief who was rendered immune by [[the Librarian]]. <ref name="composer">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]''</ref>

Following the digitization of Ivanoff Station's personnel, the Master Chief was awoken to a traumatized Cortana and piles of ashes. The Master Chief told Cortana that more people would die if they failed to stop the Didact from reaching [[Earth]] with the Composer. Cortana was able to pull herself together and spin up one of the station's [[F-41 Broadsword]]s located in Hanger C-11. Despite their losses, the Master Chief assured Cortana that the fight wasn't over yet. <ref name="composer">'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Composer (level)|Composer]]''</ref> With the Broadsword armed with one of Ivanoff Station's [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]s, the Master Chief followed the Didact through [[slipspace]] to Earth where he attempted to digitize the population of humanity's homeworld as he did Ivanoff Station. However, the Master Chief was able to board the Didact's ship, ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'' and destroy it and the Composer with the nuclear weapon he retrieved from Ivanoff Station, preventing the Didact from digitizing more than the population of [[New Phoenix]]. <ref>'''Halo 4''', campaign level ''[[Midnight]]''</ref>
