Issue three begins with Fred and the rest of [[Red Team]] heading down to the surface of Reach to assist in defending [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331]]. During the descent, their [[Pelican]] is damaged and forced to crash-land near the generator station. Meanwhile, John's [[Blue Team|team]] arrive at Gamma station. As the Battle of Reach continues in orbit, many UNSC ships including the ''[[UNSC Musashi|Musashi]]'' and the ''[[UNSC Herodotus|Herodotus]]'' are destroyed by a massive [[Unidentified Covenant warship|Covenant warship]]. Under Keyes' command the ''Pillar of Autumn'' uses its MAC and over 500 Archer missiles to drop the ship's shields and obliterate it. Back on Gamma station, James is lost in the vacuum of space after being struck by a plasma bolt just as they blow an entrance inside the facility. The issue ends with John and Linda going to destroy the ''Circumference's'' NAV data and finding the station overrun with Covenant troops. | Issue three begins with Fred and the rest of [[Red Team]] heading down to the surface of Reach to assist in defending [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331]].

===Issue #4=== | |||
The fourth issue opens with [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] and his Marines fighting [[Kig-Yar Ranger|Kig-Yar rangers]] onboard Gamma station. They are soon assisted by John and Linda and move together toward the ''Circumference''. Meanwhile on Reach, Red Team loses contact with the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and continue to defend the station. As an incoming wave of Covenant approach the facility, Fred and his team stand defiant. Back at Gamma station, John finds and destroys the ''Circumference's'' navigation system. Everyone is then evacuated by Pelican back to the ''Autumn'' but Linda is impaled from behind by an Elite wielding an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|energy sword]]. Once inside the ''Autumn'', Linda is placed in a [[Cryo chamber|cryotube]] in the hope that she can be later resuscitated. The ''Autumn'' is forced to flee Reach, jumping to a random location. However, Cortana secretly inserts coordinates translated from symbols on [[Sigma Octanus IV artifact|the artifact]] that Blue Team discovered during the battle of Sigma Octanus IV. The story arc ends with the ''Autumn'' exiting slipspace weeks later and arriving at [[Installation 04]]. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
During the mission at Gamma Station, Linda is fatally wounded after being impaled from behind with an energy sword wielded by an [[Sangheili Zealot|Elite Zealot]] and not by overcharged bolts from [[Plasma Pistol]]s and [[Plasma Rifle]]s; one of the many details in the comic adaptation that deviate from the original novel. | |||
