The ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' exited slipspace on [[2552#November|November 2, 2552]], arriving in close proximity to Installation 05, orbiting the gas giant [[Substance]] in the [[Coelest system]]. The Prophet of Regret took ''Solemn Penance'' down to the surface of the ring, deploying large numbers of ground troops and armor into a network of [[Forerunner]] ruins. The Hierarch fortified himself within a [[Temple (Installation 05)|temple]] in the middle of a large lake and began to sermonize to his loyal forces, declaring his intent to activate the installation and begin the Covenant's [[Covenant religion#The Great Journey|"Great Journey"]].{{Ref/Reuse|deltahalo}}

Meanwhile, Commander Miranda Keyes of the {{Class|Stalwart|light frigate}} {{UNSCShip|In Amber Clad}}, trailing behind the assault carrier, opted to keep a low profile to avoid detection by the far more powerful {{Class|CAS|assault carrier}}. She realized the importance of discovering why the Covenant had attacked Earth as well as their arrival at the Halo ring and designated the capture or killing of the Prophet of Regret as their primary objective. She ordered John-117 and [[First Platoon (ODST)|a platoon]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] from the [[7th Shock Troops Battalion]] to deploy via [[M8823 drop pod|M8823 Human Entry Vehicle]] to secure a landing zone to Sergeant Major Avery Johnson to deploy more ground forces to support them. As the ''In Amber Clad'' made a pass over the ring, the frigate deployed a dozen SOEIV pods. While most survived to enter the atmosphere, Covenant ground forces had deployed a number of [[Eeo'Pimu-pattern Shade|Shade]] turrets in the landing zone that opened fire on the pods as they neared the surface. Several pods were struck and destroyed and many ODSTs were immediately killed by Covenant troops upon leaving their pods. Ultimately only four UNSC personnel would survive to make landfall-John-117 and three ODSTs. Wielding a [[M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher]], the Spartan destroyed the Shade turrets and led the surviving ODSTs into a nearby Forerunner structure. The four secured the ruins and managed to hold off several [[Kez'katu-pattern Phantom|Phantoms]] and their complements of infantry, allowing Sergeant Johnson to approach in a Pelican to deploy a [[M12 Chaingun Warthog|Warthog]] for the team. As the Pelican approached the [[landing zone]], Johnson spotted the structure in the lake that the Prophet of Regret had taken refuge in and notified the team of its location.{{Ref/Reuse|deltahalo}}

John-117 and his team commandeered the Warthog and set out toward their objective, wiping out a camp of [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar Sniper|snipers]] before arriving in a large area fortified by the Covenant, who retracted the [[Bridge (structure)|bridge]] spanning a nearby gorge. The UNSC forces eventually cleared the area out and extended the bridge. The presence of {{Pattern|Muz|Wraith}}s across the gorge necessitated the deployment of [[UE8-14|a]] [[M808B Scorpion|Scorpion]] tank, which Johnson's Pelican deployed for the Spartan. John used the tank to destroy the Wraiths before pushing through a network of [[Forerunner]] ruins, destroying various Covenant positions until they finally emerged into an open area with another large structure. A Pelican arrived to drop off several [[Ordnance pod#Type B Capsule|ordnance pods]] and more Marines to support the offensive. John and the Marines fought through several more structures and caves, battling through more Covenant before reaching the first lake structure, encountering [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|members]] of the [[Covenant Honor Guard]] within.{{Ref/Reuse|deltahalo}}
