On the third day, the two initiated their attack. Roland went into active camouflage, giving him roughly four minutes to plant charges around the base's four reactor cores. When he gave a signal (the explosives at the base of the sniper lookout), Jonah used an [[energy disruptor]] and flares to storm the Covenant barracks, singlehandedly wiping out all the enemy troops inside.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 175''</ref> During the battle, Roland noticed an explosion across the valley and considered it might've been Team Two, also responding to his go-signal by initiating their own attack.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 177''</ref> Team One's attack took only ten minutes before they had seemingly wiped out all of the base's crew.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 174''</ref>

However, Jonah let his guard down to taunt the last few enemies, allowing a cloaked Sangheili of the [[Silent Shadow]] to skewer Roland with his energy sword.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 183''</ref> With his last breath, Roland managed to tell Jonah that the base's charges were "clear" and primed for explosion.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 191''</ref> Jonah made an attempt to kill Roland's murderer, but switching on his VISR to find the cloaked attacker revealed that there were in fact five more cloaked Elites surrounding him. The Elites taunted Jonah, saying that they had also killed Team Two, but Jonah noted to himself that these enemies hadn't bothered to kill him while cloaked even though they had the opportunity to do so.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 188''</ref> Since they clearly intended to capture him, Jonah goaded the Elites into chasing him, luring them close to his energy disruptor. When their shields and weapons were down, Jonah pressed the detonator, killing himself and all the Elites.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 192''</ref>
