Using an improvised spear made out of a broken leg of a cot and tied to several coils of sheets, they managed to spear their Unggoy guard and steal his plasma rifle. Saal used the rifle to destroy the lock and open the door, which allowed the Sangheili to escape. They managed to board a Kig-Yar shuttle and take over a large Kig-Yar ship, which had a crew of Unggoy on it. They used the ship and information gathered from the Unggoy to launch a raid on Metisette and capture Reth. It was then that the Sangheili discovered that the Prophet of Truth had ordered Reth to observe the entire operation. Reth managed to escape while unattended and arrived back at Metisette. He decided to begin the invasion of the Rubble. | The Shiva missiles caused an EMP effect which shut down the lights and the antigravity generators<ref>''Halo: The Cole Protocol'', ''page 188''</ref> inside the habitat where Thel 'Vadamee and the rest of his crew were imprisoned.

The Rubble's resident AI construct, [[Juliana]], | Meanwhile, Delgado was imprisoned by one of the Rubble Security Council members, Peter Bonifacio, on the charges of failing to protect the navigation data. Fortunately, the Security Council pardoned him in exchange for giving back the data to them to move it to the Exodus habitat, an emergency evacuation habitat for the Rubble. Peter Bonifacio and Diego Esquival, another Council member and long time friend of Delgado, accompanied Delgado to his ship, the ''Distancia''. However, when Delgado handed the chip to Esquival, Bonifacio quickly held the two at gunpoint and demanded that Diego handed the data to him. Diego refused and was shot. Bonifacio took the data and retreated while Delgado returned fire from his own pistol. He grabbed Diego and reentered the airlock. However, Bonifacio shut down the airlock and disabled the communications. He quickly undocked and flew away, leaving Delgado and Diego to die. Delgado, knowing he had no other option, activated the emergency beacon Adriana gave him. | ||
Bonifacio contacted Reth, who he was working with, and informed him of the capture of the navigation data. Reth immediately began the preparations of the invasion of the Rubble while Bonifacio continued in his own route. | |||
The Rubble's resident AI construct, [[Juliana]], discovered the movement of the Kig-yar vessels and prepared the proper forces to defend the Rubble from the Kig-yar assault, collaborating with Gray Team and Keyes to infiltrate a docked Kig-yar ship ''[[Infinite Spoils]]'' in order to confirm the possibility of the assault. The ''[[Mighty Sparrow]]'', filled with ODSTs, latched onto the ''Infinite Spoils'', allowing them to plug Juliana into the Kig-yar battle network, while another group of ODSTs assaulted the airlock outside the ship. This allowed them to gain data on the upcoming invasion by [[Reth]] from ''[[Metisette]]''. During the infiltration the [[Sangheili]] under Thel attacked the ''Mighty Sparrow'' which was docked with the Kig-Yar raider. Delgado and the remaining ODSTs, including Faison, quickly escaped and boarded the ''Infinite Spoils''. While Faison and Delgado navigated through the ship, Faison took fire from a surviving Kig-yar pirate. The shot hit a blood vessel, causing Faison to loss blood quickly. Delgado was forced to abandon him but called for backup to recover Faison. Aboard ''Infinite Spoils'', Zhar and Thel followed the same path as the humans took. Zhar ran into Faison and took fire before killing him with his plasma rifle. While Zhar became curious and remained shaken, they encountered [[Jai-006]] and Thel engaged in hand to hand combat with him, declaring him a [[demon]] in the struggle. The Spartan took a look at Faison and retreated back into the habitat. Thel and Zhar decided to abstain from the battle and took the ship for themselves. | |||
Meanwhile, ODSTs and Kig-yar were fighting a hard battle in the habitat. After some hesitation, Delgado handed Jai-006 the AI chip containing Juliana in order to depressurize the habitat and kill the Kig-yar who weren't in a sealed suit. The resulting loss of atmosphere killed off a majority of the front line Kig-yar, allowing the ODSTs to kill the snipers and push back to the ''Petya'' to begin preparations for the Kig-yar naval assault. | |||
