At [[the Apex]], [[Ripa 'Moramee|the Arbiter]] releases Professor [[Ellen Anders]] from her restraints and forces her hand onto the Apex console. The console reacts to the touch of a [[Reclaimer]], activating the nearby [[Forerunner]] {{Class|Sojourner|dreadnought}}s docked in the structures around the Apex. The Arbiter triumphantly announces that the fleet will be the destruction of humanity and Anders takes advantage of the Arbiter and his [[Sangheili Honor Guard]]'s distraction by the fleet to activate a [[slipspace translocation|teleporter]] in the Apex platform with an order to take her to the surface. | At [[the Apex]], [[Ripa 'Moramee|the Arbiter]] releases Professor [[Ellen Anders]] from her restraints and forces her hand onto the Apex console.

Suddenly, the infection forms are killed by Sergeant [[John Forge]] who has arrived to rescue Anders. Anders quickly warns Forge that the Covenant are assembling a huge fleet. Forge escorts Anders to a nearby [[Pelican]], but the Pelican is destroyed by the Flood. Accompanied by other ground forces, Forge leads Anders to another LZ at a lower level that the UNSC forces defend against [[Covenant]] attack for a minute and a half. Finally, a Pelican arrives to extract Anders who reveals that she needs to get back to her lab as she has a possible solution for the problem of the Forerunner fleet. | ||
With Anders rescued and safely aboard the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, Captain [[James Cutter]] orders Forge to secure a beachhead for the ''Spirit of Fire's'' forces. Forge begins a ground assault to eliminate four [[Covenant citadel]]s in the area. He is aided by [[Red Team]] and a [[Scarab]] that can be captured by the UNSC forces if they free it from the Flood. Finally, after eliminating the citadels and their defenses, including multiple {{Pattern|Emp'seam|Antlion}}s and another Scarab, Forge secures the area with the creation of UNSC [[firebase]]s on the site of each destroyed citadel. Having been informed of the situation by Anders, Cutter congratulates Forge and orders him to stand by for a mission briefing. | With Anders rescued and safely aboard the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, Captain [[James Cutter]] orders Forge to secure a beachhead for the ''Spirit of Fire's'' forces.

*A deleted in-game cutscene shows Ripa 'Moramee exiting a teleporter in this level, likely in pursuit of Anders, suggesting that [[Ensemble Studios]] had plans for the unique Arbiter unit to appear in this level rather than being a unit exclusive to Skirmish games.<ref>[https://vimeo.com/218601405 '''Vimeo''': ''Halo Wars Campaign Deleted Cutscene'']</ref> | *A deleted in-game cutscene shows Ripa 'Moramee exiting a teleporter in this level, likely in pursuit of Anders, suggesting that [[Ensemble Studios]] had plans for the unique Arbiter unit to appear in this level rather than being a unit exclusive to Skirmish games.<ref>[https://vimeo.com/218601405 '''Vimeo''': ''Halo Wars Campaign Deleted Cutscene'']</ref> | ||
*It is impossible to save the Pelican at the beginning of the level. Even if the player manages to kill the Flood Swarms attacking it, it will take scripted damage and be destroyed. | |||
*It is possible to keep Anders for the entire mission. Simply keep her away from the rescue beacon. The timer will sit at 00:00 for the duration of the level. Red team will not spawn and the Scarab cutscene will not play and it will sit inert at it's starting position, however the Flood tentacles will not spawn. Upon capturing the fourth base the mission will end as usual despite Anders still being in the field. She can repair any ground vehicles in gameplay and will use an M6 sidearm to attack. | |||
