The Pelican brings them to [[Crow's Nest (Base)|Crow's Nest]] which is used as a local base of operations by the UNSC. Here, Commander [[Miranda Keyes]] and [[Lord Hood]] plan a last-ditch effort to stop the Covenant from activating a [[Forerunner]] artifact uncovered outside the ruins of the city of [[New Mombasa]]. Their plan is to have the Master Chief and a small group of marines punch a hole in Truth's anti-air defenses, so that Lord Hood can initiate a low level air-strike on the artifact. Their planning is quickly interrupted when power is cut and the Prophet of Truth broadcasts an announcement to all surviving human forces that their doom is inevitable. Soon after that, the Covenant Loyalists discover the facility and mount a heavy assault. After a brief struggle, the outpost is lost and is destroyed by a bomb activated by SPARTAN-117. Deep underground, the Master Chief regroups with the surviving Marines and makes his way into the African City of [[Voi]], [[Kenya]] via the [[Tsavo Highway (Location)|Tsavo Highway]].

Sometime afterward, SPARTAN-117 along with a handful of Marines destroy the Covenant anti-air defenses Lord Hood leads the last of Earth's military ships against Truth and the artifact. As Hood mounts his attack on Prophet, Truth activates the artifact and creates an enormous slipspace portal, into which all the Covenant ships retreat. | ||
At the same time, a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] cruiser controlled by the [[Flood]], a parasitic species, arrives suddenly via slipspace and crashes in Voi, the parasite quickly spreads throughout the entire city. As the Human forces attempt to fight the infestation, many are infected by the Flood. The [[Covenant Separatists]] lead by Shipmaster [[Rtas 'Vadum]], arrives at Earth and assists the struggle against the infestation. The Elites inform Commander Keyes that a UNSC construct is aboard the crashed Flood ship, and identified it as [[Cortana]]. After retrieving Cortana, SPARTAN-117 returned to the Shadow of Intent to oversee the repairs made by [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]]. However, it is only a recorded message from her. Cortana informs that the [[Gravemind]] is coming to Earth with an army of Flood, and that on the other side is a solution to the Flood infestation, without having to fire the rings. Lord Hood questions Cortana's plan, assuming that it could be a Flood trap, but SPARTAN-117 firmly tells Hood that he trusts her. | At the same time, a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] cruiser controlled by the [[Flood]], a parasitic species, arrives suddenly via slipspace and crashes in Voi, the parasite quickly spreads throughout the entire city.
