On August 23, 2552, after wandering through the wilderness, Six arrives at [[New Alexandria]], [[Eposz]], which is under siege by four [[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 in the game.

==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*When the civilian transport hovering above the water gets shot by the Corvette's plasma bolt, the resulting explosion occurs just before the actual plasma bolt impacts it. | |||
* | *This is the first mission in ''Halo: Reach'' in which the player fights Brutes, the first level where the Spiker and Gravity Hammer are usable, and the only mission where no Elites are encountered. | ||
*During the part where Noble Six and several troopers are leading civilians to an elevator, they will strangely not get on, even if the player stalls. | |||
*Sometimes, the Bullfrogs may jump off the building after aiding you with fending off the Brute lance. It is unknown if this action is scripted as usually two of the ODSTs can be seen jumping off the building as if scripted. | |||
*[[Sergeant Major]] [[Duvall]] is invincible, as he is considered a plot-critical character due to his radio exchanges with the evacuating civilian transports. However, he remains in the staging area and doesn't participate in the battle, unless he is ordered into a Warthog by the player. He will disappear if left in the staging area. | |||
*Noble Six's pistol has [[List of "seven" references in Halo|seven]] rounds in its magazine at the beginning of this mission. | |||
*If the player kills a civilian in this level, even accidentally, the player will die instantly. This is similar to the level ''[[Winter Contingency (level)|Winter Contingency]]'', where killing a farmer will kill the player. | |||

*The closing chapter "I Should Have Become a Watchmaker" comes from a quote from Albert Einstein referring to quantum mechanics and how it destroyed any view of the universe as deterministic. The full quote reads "The release of atom power has changed everything except our way of thinking... The solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind. If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker." | *The closing chapter "I Should Have Become a Watchmaker" comes from a quote from Albert Einstein referring to quantum mechanics and how it destroyed any view of the universe as deterministic.

* | *The second chapter, "Too Close to the Sun" is a reference to the [[Halo 3]] achievement [[Too Close to the Sun]] and is also a reference to Greek mythology, specifically the story of [[wikipedia:Icarus|Icarus]]. | ||
* | *SPARTAN-B312's line ''"The last transport is away,"'' is likely a reference to ''Star Wars: Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back''. The same line is said when an orbiting Star Destroyer is disabled by a land-based ion cannon, allowing a transport vessel to evacuate Echo Base. | ||
