Unbeknownst to the Covenant, [[John-117]] and several other [[UNSC]] personnel escaped before the destruction of Installation 04. John, onboard a [[GA-TL1 Longsword-class Interceptor|Longsword interceptor]] and with the aid of [[Cortana]], managed to locate the [[cryo-chamber]] of [[Linda-058]], which had been jettisoned from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} before it crashed on the ring. Soon, another signal was detected from a UNSC [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]], hiding behind a piece of debris from Installation 04. Unfortunately, the Covenant soon spotted the humans. Cortana maneuvered the Longsword into a slingshot orbit around [[Basis]], Threshold's [[moon]], and while on the moon's far side, they picked up the survivors from the Pelican. The survivors abandoned the dropship, loaded it with multiple [[Moray Space Mine]]s and sent it ahead of them as they prepared to hijack the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'', the flagship of the Covenant fleet. Coming around Basis, they faced multiple [[Type-31 Seraph|Seraph fighters]], but managed to destroy them with Moray mines. | Unbeknownst to the Covenant, [[John-117]] and several other [[UNSC]] personnel escaped before the destruction of Installation 04.

Piloted by [[Shiela Polaski]], the Longsword managed to fly into the flagship's [[hangar bay]]. From there, the humans made their way to the [[bridge]], where John faced a [[Special Operations Sangheili|Sangheili warrior]] in single combat, barely winning the duel. Cortana then vented the atmosphere out of the rest of the ship, killing most of the Covenant aboard. | Piloted by [[Shiela Polaski]], the Longsword managed to fly into the flagship's [[hangar bay]].
