After breaking the casing protecting the artifact, John made contact with it, which caused [[Makee]] to see where it was.{{Ref/Reuse|Reckoning}} | ||

When the [[Covenant]] arrived, they used [[Is'belox-pattern Banshee|Banshees]] to bomb UNSC forces on the ground and destroy the {{UNSCShip|Pioneer}}. John had [[Vannak-134]] and [[Riz-028]] move the artifact out of a cave and into the back of an [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]]. John ordered [[Kai-125]] to stay back with the [[marines]] and keep them covered. They were ordered by [[Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes/Silver|Keyes]] to take the artifact to [[Miranda Keyes/Silver|Miranda Keyes]] [[D80 Condor|Condor]]. On their way there, an orbiting {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} dropped in three Covenant [[lances]] to secure the artifact. A [[Unggoy|Grunt]] was successfully able to [[supercombine]] the gunner of the Warthog and kick out the driver, but John killed the Grunt and took control, ordering Riz and Vannak to get in. A Banshee had successfully hit the Condor, forcing Miranda and the crew to head toward [[Catherine Halsey/Silver|Catherine Halsey’s]] ship. The Covenant deployed a [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]] behind Kai, and the marines were quickly overwhelmed. Kai’s heart rate elevated to critical levels when she witnessed the horror of the marines being slaughtered, and was soon under fire from multiple Covenant troops. John noticed this and told Vannak to take the wheel and get him closer to the edge. [[Cortana/Silver|Cortana]] and Halsey protested and said to focus on the mission, but John said he couldn’t let Kai die. He jumped and hijacked a Banshee and crashed it into the Phantom. Riz shot down a Banshee, but the Banshee crashed into their Warthog, causing the artifact and the Spartans to be thrown from the vehicle. John quickly dealt with Covenant forces and went to go help Kai, who was being punched by an [[Sangheili|Elite]]. The Master Chief attacked the Elite and punched it multiple times before stomping on its face. Kai warns him about the artifact, and Cortana warns of a Covenant [[Taaku Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit]] inbound. John runs to the artifact, but the Spirit deploys [[Atriox/Silver|a]] [[Jiralhanae]] who send the Spartan flying back after hitting him with his [[gravity mace]]. John says that he needs a weapon, but Cortana says she is not sure if it will help. Chief fires a [[BR55 Battle Rifle|Battle Rifle]] at the Brute before it is lifted back into the Spirit with the artifact, and Chief fires his rifle at the Spirit as it leaves. One last pod was launched from the Covenant cruiser before it leaves, firing back at the pod. The pod opens and John heads over to it and finds out it is Makee who passes out after seeing him.{{Ref/Reuse|Reckoning}} | |||

Cortana suggests to John that he should be treated after his systems were overloaded from contact with the Eridanus artifact. The UNSC also bring Makee with them as she has offered them intel on the Covenant, claiming they kidnapped her as a child.{{Ref/Reuse|Solace}} | ||
