On ''Cairo Station'', Fleet Admiral Hood was awarding [[Master Chief Petty Officer|MCPO]] [[John-117]] and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] for their actions at [[Installation 04]] and the subsequent [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]]. When [[Cortana]] received a slipspace rupture report near [[Io]], she relayed the information to FADM Hood. When the Covenant force arrived, the Home Fleet was ready and waiting.
