Two UNSC Marines, [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Avery Junior Johnson]] and [[Nolan Byrne]], both of whom stationed at Harvest to train Colonial Militiamen, were to ambush the expected Insurrectionists. Al-Cygni had an arsenal of weapons onboard her ship, the {{UNSCShip|Walk of Shame}}, including a some prototypical [[XBR55 Battle Rifle]]s. ''Walk of Shame'' itself was armed with one [[Archer Missile]]. <ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 131''</ref> | ||
Johnson and Byrne, armed with XBR55s and outfitted with [[vacuum suit]]s, moved into position but quickly saw that the boarders were not insurrectionists: they were four [[Kig-yar]]. Johnson asked for further orders, and Al-Cygni ordered that they continue to engage them, but they should try to capture one, and under no circumstances should any be allowed to escape<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 128''</ref>. The two Marines engaged the aliens: Byrne wounded one, but was wounded by another Kig-yar armed with an [[energy cutlass]]. Johnson shot [[Zhar (Kig-yar)|another]] and killed it with its own blade. Johnson tended to Byrne's wounds and finished off the wounded Kig-yar. [[Shipmaster|Shipmistress]] [[Chur'R-Yar]], retreated onto the ''Minor Transgression''; Johnson followed her and then killed her. He then left ''Minor Transgression'', which was destroyed by Chur'R-Yar in an attempt to cause to ship to self-destruct. Only two crew members survived the blast: the [[Deacon]] [[Dadab]] and the [[Huragok]] [[Lighter Than Some]], who fled the ship in an [[Covenant escape pod|escape pod]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 135''</ref> | Johnson and Byrne, armed with XBR55s and outfitted with [[vacuum suit]]s, moved into position but quickly saw that the boarders were not insurrectionists: they were four [[Kig-yar]].
