At the top of the elevator, six armed warheads were smuggled aboard a [[Covenant destroyer]] while another destroyer, ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'' was commandeered by Blue Team. The enemy destroyer was destroyed by a combination of internal nuclear detonations and [[plasma turret|plasma torpedo]] fire. Blue Team then made the [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] jump to [[Onyx]].<ref name="HaloGhostsOnyxCh23"/> | ||
