When they were blown to the surface and woke up, Romeo punched Miles for telling of his transfer. They then found an injured [[Unggoy]], who they interrogated, demanding to know what the Covenant were doing. The Unggoy could only say "knowing" but couldn't tell anymore. They let the Grunt go free, only for Romeo to shoot it, fearing that he may become a liability. They soon traced their squad's tracks, but noticed a [[legion]] of Sangheili headed towards them. As Romeo tried coming up with a plan, three Unggoy tried dropping a boulder on them. They barely managed to avoid the attack and then killed the Unggoy, and took their gear before setting up a few explosives to bring rocks upon the Sangheili. | When they were blown to the surface and woke up, Romeo punched Miles for telling of his transfer.

First, they killed a Sangheili and an Unggoy, using the latter's body to fool the other Unggoy into thinking that Miles was being taken captive, before killing them all. They then took control of the Phantom, though what Miles believed to be lift-off thrusters were actually weapons, which killed a number of Covenant returning to the ship. As they took off, one Sangheili managed to damage the Phantom with his [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|fuel rod gun]], causing the Phantom to crash to the ground. They abandon ship, as the Phantom crashed into a company of Sangheili. Miles crashed through a building's skylight, and found the missing colonists inside, held prisoner by several Unggoy. | ||

After neutralizing the guards, Miles and Romeo then learned from the colonists that the Covenant were forcing them to dig down below, setting off a number of booby traps in the entrance to [[Ariel Forerunner complex|an alien complex]]. Thus the two ODSTs went down below to free the other [[Slavery|enslaved]] colonists. They first scared two Unggoy with inactive bombs, causing them run right into a laser trap, before Miles tackled the Sangheili into them as well. He and Romeo then made their way past the lasers, before finding what the Covenant was looking for on Ariel: an [[Forerunner|alien]] [[ancilla|construct]] called [[the Knowing]]. Though Miles believed that the AI would be beneficial to the UNSC, per ONI [[Xeno orders|standing orders]], Romeo preferred that they destroy it to prevent the Covenant from getting their hands on the data. Romeo asked the Knowing to activate its [[self-destruct]] and direct them out of the complex which it complied with due to his status as a [[Reclaimer]]. As they made their way out, Romeo tripped over an Unggoy's body and broke his ankle. Miles carried him and managed to escape the blast. When they got back to the surface, they were reunited with their squad, who had seen the Covenant fleeing the planet because of the Knowing's destruction. | After neutralizing the guards, Miles and Romeo then learned from the colonists that the Covenant were forcing them to dig down below, setting off a number of booby traps in the entrance to [[Ariel Forerunner complex|an alien complex]].
