On August 23, 2552, after wandering through the wilderness, Six arrives at [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]], [[Eposz]], which is under siege by four [[SDV-class heavy corvette|Covenant corvette]]s. Noble Six then finds his/her way through the city and links up with [[UNSC Army|Army]] forces to assist in the evacuation of [[Traxus Tower]], while fighting [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] for the first time during the invasion. However, they arrive too late, as one of the corvettes has already moved into position on top of the tower. | ||

The missile batteries disable the corvette's weaponry, allowing the remaining transports to slip past and escape into orbit. | ||
[[ | [[Kat-B320|Kat]] contacts Noble Six, and instructs the Lieutenant to rejoin the rest of Noble Team. During the exchange, Noble Six alerts the team to Jorge's sacrifice during [[Operation: UPPER CUT]]. | ||
