All five corvettes fired on the vessel as it fled toward Biko. The ''Worthy Silence'' reached the crash site before the others, deploying multiple [[Type-32 Ghost]]s and [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]]-equipped [[Sangheili]], [[Jiralhanae]], and [[Kig-Yar]] warriors via its gravity lift to secure the wreck. Before it could be recovered, a team of twelve [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] arrived and contested them. While the corvette and its Ghosts started firing on the supersoldiers, a second intrusion corvette arrived to assist.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS14|HSS|Chapter=14}} | ||
With the tide clearly turning in favor of the [[Bloodstars]], the Spartans were forced to restart the avalanche with their [[M301 grenade launcher|grenade launcher]]s, burying half of them in the ice, but also delaying the ''Worthy Silence'' by knocking the prowler to the quarry floor.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS14}}{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}} As the Bloodstars fought the Spartans for control of the ''Starry Night'', two more of the intrusion corvettes approached to harass the supersoldiers. Despite this, the humans gained access to the prowler and its [[Nuclear weapon|nuclear]] [[self-destruct]] system, and a strafing run from the task force destroyed two of the flotilla's corvettes and chased off a third.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}} The ''Worthy Silence'', however, was left unscathed because [[Hector Nyeto|the current commander]] of the task force was secretly an insurrectionist and was trying to get the Spartans killed.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS16|HSS|Chapter=16}} After the Spartans fended off another Bloodstar boarding party, the ''Worthy Silence'' began slowly lifting the prowler into its hangar bay with its gravity lift. This was done too late as the team inside the prowler had already armed the [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon|nuke]] and fled in an escape pod. The gunners manning the corvette's point-defense turrets attempted to destroy the lifeboat, but were caught off-guard and missed their shots. Ultimately, the effort was in vain anyway as the nuke's explosion pulverized both the ''Starry Night'' and the ''Worthy Silence'', with the forward fuselage of the latter crashing to the quarry floor.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}} | With the tide clearly turning in favor of the [[Bloodstars]], the Spartans were forced to restart the avalanche with their [[M301 grenade launcher|grenade launcher]]s, burying half of them in the ice, but also delaying the ''Worthy Silence'' by knocking the prowler to the quarry floor.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS14}}{{Ref/Reuse|HSS15}} As the Bloodstars fought the Spartans for control of the ''Starry Night'', two more of the intrusion corvettes approached to harass the supersoldiers.
