With support from his accompanying ODST squad and his [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle]], John-117 cleared out two Covenant camps of Jiralhanae, Unggoy, and Kig-Yar. At the second camp, they disrupted the Covenant's efforts to assemble a [[Skar'wa-pattern Mantis|Mantis]]. Emerging on the other side of the Forerunner structures, they linked up with Dubbo and other survivors seeking refuge from the downed Pelican, where a lance of Covenant searched for survivors. Dubbo informed John-117 of the potential landing zone for the ''Dawn''. Upon defeating the Covenant patrol at the Pelican, a pair of [[Qavardu Workshop Prowler|Prowlers]] arrived at the area, but their operators were eliminated by the UNSC. Salvaging both UNSC and Covenant vehicles, John-117 and his team advanced into the Covenant-occupied canyon. At this point, the Covenant have set up an attack force of infantry and {{Pattern|Rizsheda|Shade}}s at a nearby [[Forerunner]] wall, which was defended by [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. John-117 and his team eliminated the Covenant attackers, and the Sentinels, recognizing the humans as [[Reclaimer]]s, withheld their attacks. [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]], onboard ''Kilo 023'', spotted a structure that was similar to the [[Cartographer]] of [[Installation 04]] on the other side of the wall, and Keyes set the structure as the objective.{{Ref/Reuse|theark}} | With support from his accompanying ODST squad and his [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle]], John-117 cleared out two Covenant camps of Jiralhanae, Unggoy, and Kig-Yar.

The landing zone was occupied by Ghosts, a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]], several [[ | The landing zone was occupied by Ghosts, a [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]], several [[Covenant watchtower]]s, Jiralhanae and Unggoy infantries, and two [[Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith|Anti-Air Wraiths]] that were firing into an aerial battle between [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] and [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]]. John-117 and his team, having gathered more Marine survivors, cleared the landing zone, allowing the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' to disengage from the space battle and descend to the surface of the installation, landing safely. From the ''Dawn''{{'}}s hangar, the UNSC was reinforced with three [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion]] tanks, a [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Warthog]] and a unit of Marines led by [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Marcus Stacker]]. With [[343 Guilty Spark]] having arrived to guide them, the mechanized force then fought their way back to the Forerunner wall, destroying numerous Covenant vehicles and ground troops. The Covenant had retaken the wall, bolstering their defenses with Wraiths, Choppers, and Shade turrets, but they failed to deter the UNSC's progress.{{Ref/Reuse|theark}} | ||
After entering the wall and emerging from the other side, the UNSC encountered a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]]. Although the Scarab quickly left the area, the canyon leading from the wall to the Cartographer was defended by a battalion-sized force of Covenant heavy armor, including Choppers, Ghosts, Wraiths, and infantry with [[Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|heavy weapons]], reinforced by a Phantom. Two of the three Warthogs, which emerged from the wall first, were quickly overwhelmed, and their operators were killed. A single [[M12G1 Gauss Warthog]], taking a winding path to the side, was harassed by Ghosts and lost its gunner, though it regrouped with John-117, who had left the group earlier when they travel across the wall. The Spartan commandeered the vehicle and rejoined the Scorpion tanks. John-117 and Stacker then led the Scorpions against the Covenant armor. When the UNSC forces broke through the Covenant defenses, the Scarab returned to the area, with Choppers as its escorts. Stacker ordered Marines from Bravo unit to flank the Scarab to cover John-117's assault on the Scarab. They succeed, with John-117 personally taking down the Scarab. After the Scarab's destruction, the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' arrived at the Cartographer, and Rtas 'Vadum announced that his fleet had destroyed Truth's fleet.{{Ref/Reuse|theark}} | After entering the wall and emerging from the other side, the UNSC encountered a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]].
