Unbeknownst to the Covenant, [[John-117]] and several other [[UNSC]] personnel escaped before the destruction of Installation 04. John, onboard a [[GA-TL1 Longsword-class Interceptor|Longsword interceptor]] and with the aid of [[Cortana]], managed to locate the [[cryo-chamber]] of [[Linda-058]], which had been jettisoned from the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} before it crashed on the ring. Soon, another signal was detected from a UNSC [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]], hiding behind a piece of debris from Installation 04. Unfortunately, the Covenant soon spotted the humans. Cortana maneuvered the Longsword into a slingshot orbit around [[Basis]], Threshold's [[moon]], and while on the moon's far side, they picked up the survivors from the Pelican.
