Regardless, the Spartan's reassignment went forward, and on [[2552#July|July 24, 2552]], SPARTAN-B312 was presented to NOBLE Team under the callsign "Noble Six".{{Ref/Reuse|profile}} | ||

After arriving on August 23, they assisted [[UNSC Army]] troopers in repelling Covenant forces from the city and evacuating the civilian population.

After helping with the evacuation, the Spartan managed to establish radio communication with NOBLE Team and participated in the removal of Covenant communication jammers to allow the evacuation of ONI personnel. The same evening, Six reunited with NOBLE Team and reported the details of UPPER CUT. After clearing the jammers, NOBLE Team was hailed by Colonel Holland and was ordered to destroy SWORD Base.

On August 29, SPARTAN-B312 and the remaining members of NOBLE Team proceeded to Sword Base, under supposed instructions to destroy the base as the Covenant had taken control of it. Leading a fireteam of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]], Noble Six cleared a path into the base, destroying multiple anti-air guns with an [[M808 Scorpion]] tank. The rest of NOBLE Team then took to their Falcon to the ground, regrouping and then fighting their way into the facility. Upon arriving at their destination, though, the team's demolition was abruptly canceled, as their directives were suddenly revised by an unknown UNSC AI.

Stranded on the Covenant-occupied planet, they escaped the drydocks on foot, moving toward nearby hills, but was surrounded by Covenant ground forces. After taking on an enormous force of [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]], they were eventually outnumbered and mortally wounded by plasma fire, yet continued fighting even after being disarmed. Noble Six was finally pinned to the ground and killed by a group of high-ranking Sangheili. Their helmet, which had been dropped shortly before being slain, was left in the glassed wasteland and remained alone there for [[2589|37 years]], by which time the surrounding area had been [[Terraforming|re-terraformed]].{{Ref/Reuse|lonewolf}} | ||
