After establishing contact with the ONI researchers, the Spartan learned that the inner campus had been breached by Prometheans. In order to aid the researchers, the facility's security lockdown needed to be overriden to give the Spartan access to the researchers' lab. Kwon ordered the Headhunter to wipe the data from three security consoles. The Spartan battled their way back towards the campus, fighting past Prometheans and Covenant soldiers, as well as [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]]. After wiping the data, the Spartan returned to the comms center and rebooted the security system. Now having access to the researchers' lab, the Spartan returned to the main campus. Meanwhile, the researchers discovered that the Forerunner device they had been studying is the main power source of the portal. After eliminating a group of [[Promethean Watcher]]s, the Spartan was cornered near the main campus. However, the Spartan was able to fight off the Promethean waves and arrived at the inner campus. | After establishing contact with the ONI researchers, the Spartan learned that the inner campus had been breached by Prometheans.

The Spartan their way to the main power source of the power and guided the researchers to the consoles throughout the area. Once the researchers were at their posts, they began working to shut down the portal. Inside, the Prometheans and the Covenant attacked in huge waves, determined to prevent the UNSC from closing the portal. The Spartan protected each researcher individually as they began to activate the first pillar required to shut down the portal. One by one, the Spartan was able to provide support while the researchers activated the first pillar. The Spartan used to the same tactic to activate the second pillar. After fighting hordes of enemy forces, the Spartan was eventually able to allow the researchers to activate the third pillar. After all the pillars were activated, the Spartan aligned the [[Forerunner symbols]] on each on to the Forerunner artifact in the center of the room. After fighting past more Covenant forces, the Spartan inserted the Conduit into the Forerunner artifact. The artifact released a charge which shut down all portals in the city. | The Spartan made their way to the main power source of the power and guided the researchers to the consoles throughout the area.
