Baird was awoken again by Mo Ye, who gave him four [[Rumbledrug]]s that were similar to those used by [[Insurrectionist]]s fighting [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] on [[Hellas]] and [[Fumirole]], slowly destroying the body, but making it totally impervious to pain and damage. Using these drugs, Baird made his way to the control room, where he encountered more of the boarding party, including the leader, who donned a decorative headdress. Baird dropped his carbine and said he would give them the coordinates of Earth if they let him escape in a lifeboat. As they began to raise their weapons at him, the Special Operations Sangheili roared at them to stop and communicated with the Huragok onboard. The Sangheili then agreed to let Baird do what he had to do.{{Ref/Book|Id=evolution|Book=Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe|Section=Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian|SectionLinkText=Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian}} | Baird was awoken again by Mo Ye, who gave him four [[Rumbledrug]]s that were similar to those used by [[Insurrectionist]]s fighting [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] on [[Hellas]] and [[Fumirole]], slowly destroying the body, but making it totally impervious to pain and damage.

Instead of giving the coordinates to the boarding party, Baird ordered the Huragok to reconnect Mo Ye to the ship's systems, and removed the AI's safety protocols, allowing her to destroy the ship. Despite the AI's restored access to the ship, she notifies him that she still cannot circumvent Asimov's First Law in her current state.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} Baird tricked the Sangheili and punches as hard as he can, breaking his hand and the alien's jaw. He begins to taunt the alien, who responds by beheading Baird with its energy sword.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} With all [[human]]s onboard the ship wiped out completely, Baird's sacrifice allowed Mo Ye to destroy the ship as she is no longer bound by Asimov's Three Laws and proceeds to self-destruct the ship.{{Ref/Reuse|evolution}} | Instead of giving the coordinates to the boarding party, Baird ordered the Huragok to reconnect Mo Ye to the ship's systems, and removed the AI's safety protocols, allowing her to destroy the ship.

She proceeded to detonate the destroyer's nuclear charges, destroying ''The Heart of Midlothian'' and the Covenant battlegroup surrounding it.{{Ref/Book|Id=evolutionp81102|Book=Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe|Section=Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian|SectionLinkText=Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian|Page=81-102}} | ||
