On August 29, the remaining members of NOBLE Team arrived at the Covenant-occupied remnants of Sword Base; they were to demolish the base in order to prevent Halsey's excavation data from falling into Covenant hands. Jun, Emile, and Carter remained in a Falcon while Noble Six and a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] eliminated a pair of {{Pattern|Cheru|Tyrant}} anti-aircraft emplacements. After the cannons were disabled, NOBLE Team fought their way into the interior of the base. Once they arrived at the designated coordinates, which seemed to be a dead end with no load-bearing structures, [[dumb AI]] [[Auntie Dot]] revealed that the team had been given a new objective. They were to rendezvous with Halsey over a kilometer away and two thousand feet below ground. The team soon arrived at the crash site of a [[Forerunner]] [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|vessel]] beneath the ice shelf. Halsey insisted upon the importance of the site and demanded NOBLE Team's support while she completed transferring critical data in her laboratory. Jun and the other Spartans defended Halsey's lab from several waves of Covenant forces, who had found an entrance to the ruins. Eventually, Halsey ushered the Spartans inside, where she revealed the data she had transferred: a fragment of the "[[Smart AI|smart]]" [[artificial intelligence]] [[Cortana]] that carried a "latchkey" discovery found from within the ruins. She ordered NOBLE Team to escort the package to {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, a {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}} that was drydocked at the [[Asźod ship breaking yards|ship-breaking yards]] in [[Asźod]] preparing to depart from the planet.<ref name="pack">''Halo: Reach'', campaign level, "[[The Package]]"</ref> | On August 29, the remaining members of NOBLE Team arrived at the Covenant-occupied remnants of Sword Base; they were to demolish the base in order to prevent Halsey's excavation data from falling into Covenant hands.

Once the team emerged from the cavern below Sword Base, Carter had Jun escort Halsey to the relative safety of ONI's [[CASTLE Base]].

However, Covenant artillery and orbital impacts in the area make the details of this report appear suspect. Another account had Jun rendezvous with [[Beta-Red]] for an exfil run.
