Battle for the Control Room (Installation 05): Difference between revisions

'Vadumee, remembering the words spoken by the Gravemind, stated his intention to get inside, to which 'Vadumee revealed he knew [[Protos-pattern Scarab|a way]] to break the doors. A Spectre piloted by a Special Operations Sangheili arrived, allowing the Arbiter to mount up. With the Spectre and 'Vadumee's Wraith, the group made their way through the canyon, engaging a unit of Jiralhanae-operated Ghosts and a Wraith. As another set of Forerunner structures came into view, re-purposed as the [[Bastion of the Brutes]], 'Vadumee suggested they use the adjacent Protos Scarab to blast through the reinforced doors of the control room. A Phantom attempted to strafe the separatist vehicles while a pair of Wraiths and another pack of Jiralhanae guarding the entrance to the structures fought to keep the Sangheili out. Eventually 'Vadumee and his allies managed to defeat the Brutes. 'Vadumee declared his intent to retake a nearby [[CCS-class battlecruiser]] from the Jiralhanae, after waiting to ensure no Covenant reinforcements followed the group into the structure. Proceeding inward, 'Vadumee encountered another Special Operations Sangheili and a [[Mgalekgolo]] pair. After assuring the Arbiter that the gestalts were on the separatist side, the group made their way through a series of corridors and rooms and across an indoor cave, clearing out Jiralhanae positions as they went. On an outdoor bridge, a unit of Kig-Yar, Yanme'e and a Phantom engaged the Sangheili and Mgalekgolo. As the Covenant ground troops, the Phantom retreated allowing the Arbiter and his group to proceed into a holding area where several surviving Councilors and another Mgalekgolo pair were contained behind [[shield door]]s. Thel and his allies attacked, releasing the captives. Between them, they quickly wiped out the Jiralhanae presence in the room. On the exterior platform, the Jiralhanae were preparing to execute three captured [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] Sergeants [[Johnson]], [[Stacker]] and [[Banks]]. Just as Tartarus radioed the Brutes to kill the captives, 'Vadamee and his forces attacked the Jiralhanae, catching them off guard. Johnson took advantage of the confusion, signalling for Stacker and Banks to open fire with concealed [[Type-25 Plasma Pistol]]s while he boarded and took control of the nearby Scarab.{{Ref/Reuse|journey}}
