The tower which [[SPARTAN-117]] was assigned to take out was protected by an [[Anti-Aircraft Wraith]] as well as multiple Shade turrets and a [[Brute Chieftain|Chieftain]] guarding the controls. Johnson's tower was protected by two [[Anti-Aircraft Wraith]]s, one normal [[Wraith]], a pair of [[Hunters]] and a swarm of [[Drones]].

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 | 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.
