During the battle of [[Installation 00]] in late [[2552]] between the [[United Nations Space Command]]/[[Covenant Separatists]] alliance and the [[Covenant Loyalists]], the UNSC and the Elites sought access to the Citadel, but were barred by means of the energy shield of the three Barrier Towers. [[Commander]] [[Miranda Keyes]] coordinated a simultaneous assault on all three towers, ordering [[SPARTAN-117]] and a small [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] and [[Marine]] force to take the first east most Barrier Tower, the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]] and the [[Elite]]s to take the middle Barrier Tower, and for [[Avery J. Johnson]] and a Marine detachment to assault the west most Barrier Tower. | During the battle of [[Installation 00]] in late [[2552]] between the [[United Nations Space Command]]/[[Covenant Separatists]] alliance and the [[Covenant Loyalists]], the UNSC and the Elites sought access to the Citadel, but were barred by means of the energy shield of the three Barrier Towers.

While SPARTAN-117's group and the Arbiter's group managed to deactivate their two assigned Barrier Towers, Johnson's force ran into heavy Loyalist resistance at the third tower, and Johnson's men were killed while Johnson was taken prisoner by the Brutes and taken to the Citadel itself. [[SPARTAN-117]] was ordered to take a [[AV-14 Attack VTOL|Hornet]] VTOL to attack and land on the third Barrier Tower, deactivate it and attempt to find Johnson. Even though SPARTAN-117 successfully deactivated the last Barrier Tower, he was unable to find Johnson. Immediately after the third tower's deactivation, the [[Flood]] infested [[High Charity]] appeared and crashed on the Ark's surface nearby. As it went down, it released large chunks of debris, one of which smashed through the window of the tower's control room. The chunk was actually used as a makeshift vehicle by numerous [[Combat Forms]] and [[Infection Forms]] to reach the tower and it's exterior. | While SPARTAN-117's group and the Arbiter's group managed to deactivate their two assigned Barrier Towers, Johnson's force ran into heavy Loyalist resistance at the third tower, and Johnson's men were killed while Johnson was taken prisoner by the Brutes and taken to the Citadel itself.
