Osiris aided Thel's forces in clearing out the anti-air defenses so that Thel's ships could move in and fought their way through the city to reach the [[Guardian]] before it could launch. With the help of Halsey and [[Sarah Palmer]], Osiris succeeded in boarding the Guardian before it launched into [[slipspace]] though they had to face [[Promethean]]s and the [[Warden Eternal]] first.{{Ref/Level|Id=Sunaion|H5G|[[Battle of Sunaion (level)|Battle of Sunaion]]}} Having previously witnessed the launch of a Guardian,{{Ref/Level|H5G|[[Evacuation]]}} Locke warned Thel to move his ships back as the construct would release a series of concussive blasts before making the jump. As a result, 'Mdama's Covenant would take the brunt of the blasts instead which could be used by the Swords to their advantage. This tactic succeeded with much of 'Mdama's Covenant's ships knocked out by the final blast as the Guardian jumped to [[Genesis]]. | ||
