At an elevation of 4,000 feet, the [[Airfoil carapace|Air Foil Carapace]] opens and Spartan-062 glides to the surface as her [[Parafoil]] opens, only to ditch it a little earlier than planned due to the hostile presence. | ||

Spartan-062's [[energy shielding|energy shields]] flare and she reacts instantly. Grabbing the wrist of the ODST wielding the [[Humbler stun device|Humbler]], Spartan-062 uses him as a [[human]] shield, simultaneously delivering a powerful kick to the ODST with the SMG. The other ODSTs open fire, but are absorbed by the hostage ODST's suit. | ||
The Spartan ditches the ODST as the rounds strike her body and rolls for cover behind some rocks. As the ODST with the Humbler struggles to scramble back to his feet, Spartan-062 hurls a [[M9 | The Spartan ditches the ODST as the rounds strike her body and rolls for cover behind some rocks. As the ODST with the Humbler struggles to scramble back to his feet, Spartan-062 hurls a [[M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|Fragmentation Grenade]] into the middle of the ODSTs, neutralizing [[Echo One]] through [[Echo Five|Five]]. The sole survivor of the blast, [[Echo Six]], makes a run for it and he's quickly "gunned" down by Maria, but not before initiating the "Bulgoki Gambit". | ||

Maria runs past his "body" and leaps into a building, designated structure Alpha-Two, through an open window, kicking aside the ODST gunner positioned there as she swings inside. An ODST just outside the door thumbs a detonator and the room Maria is in bursts into flames. Maria, unscathed by the flames that are deflected by her shields, follows him in pursuit and into a group of waiting ODSTs who apparently subdue her. | Maria runs past his "body" and leaps into a building, designated structure Alpha-Two, through an open window, kicking aside the ODST gunner positioned there as she swings inside.

Maria and the unnamed senior officer exchange salutes and discuss the performance of the armor,which is to be shipped to [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] upon receiving her seal of approval. She is very happy at hearing this. The senior officer also tries to persuade her into re-enlisting, but she politely turns down the offer, stating that she wants to start a family. | ||
