''Spartan Strike'' begins in [[2557]]. {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s [[AI]] [[Roland]] informs an unnamed Spartan-IV that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] has granted the Spartan access to a highly classified simulation of the Battle of Mombasa. Using a UNSC Tactical Simulator, Roland reveals that the Spartan will simulate the actions of an ODST squad called [[Alpha-Five]] sent to secure a Forerunner artifact called the Conduit. In the simulation, Alpha-Five is replaced by a lone Spartan clad in [[War Master]] armor. | ''Spartan Strike'' begins in [[2557]]. {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}'s [[AI]] [[Roland]] informs an unnamed Spartan-IV that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] has granted the Spartan access to a highly classified simulation of the Battle of Mombasa.

During the Battle of Mombasa in 2552, the [[Covenant]] brings the Conduit to the city. A [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit]] [[dropship]] carrying information about the Conduit is shot down by UNSC forces and the Spartan is tasked with recovering the [[data pad]] containing the intel. After the Spartan retrieves the data pad, the Conduit's location is pinpointed elsewhere in [[New Mombasa]]. The [[Sangheili]] carrying the Conduit is killed and the Spartan brings the device to a nearby UNSC convoy. Furious at the loss of the Conduit, the Covenant assaults the convoy in hopes of regaining the device.

After the Spartan retrieves the data pad, the Conduit's location is pinpointed elsewhere in [[New Mombasa]]. The [[Sangheili]] carrying the Conduit is killed and the Spartan brings the device to a nearby UNSC convoy. Furious at the loss of the Conduit, the Covenant assaults the convoy in hopes of regaining the device. During the ensuring firefight, a Sangheili [[Field Master]] escapes in a Spirit after recovering the Conduit from the convoy. The Spartan pursues the dropship and the Spirit is shot down shortly after. Arriving at the crash-site, the Spartan eliminates the Field Master and his [[Kig-Yar]] bodyguards. Once again recovering the Conduit, the Spartan is ordered to escape the city so the Conduit can be brought to a research facility in New Phoenix. However, at the same time, ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' is preparing to enter [[slipstream space]] over Mombasa. Fleeing in a [[M12 Warthog|Warthog]], the Spartan attempts to flee, but fails to escape the resulting slipspace rupture. Cutting back to 2557, Roland reveals that the ODSTs originally sent to retrieve the Conduit were killed when the slipspace rupture destroyed Mombasa. The Conduit was never found and the UNSC presume that the device was destroyed as well. | ||

Roland reveals that in 2557, a faint signal originating on Gamma Halo was detected by the orbiting [[Ivanoff Station]]. In response, a [[Headhunter]] was sent to investigate. It was discovered that the source was originating from the Conduit, and [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|new "Covenant"]] has also detected the signal and is attempting to take the Conduit for themselves. The Spartan now simulates the actions of the Headhunter during the [[Battle of Installation 03]]. To prevent the UNSC from finding the Conduit, signal jammers are placed throughout the jungle in which the Conduit is located. The Spartan destroys the jammers and the device's signal is soon found to be emanating from a nearby Forerunner structure.

The Spartan now simulates the actions of the Headhunter during the [[Battle of Installation 03]]. To prevent the UNSC from finding the Conduit, signal jammers are placed throughout the jungle in which the Conduit is located. The Spartan destroys the jammers and the device's signal is soon found to be emanating from a nearby Forerunner structure. Utilizing a stolen [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] to destroy a power core, the Spartan disables a gate blocking the entrance to the structure. The Spartan is attacked by a [[Promethean Knight]] inside the structure and it is realized that the source was fabricated by 'Mdama's Covenant to distract the UNSC. Pinpointing the Conduit's true location through the use of UNSC transmitters, the Spartan departs the area in a Pelican. A terminal on Gamma Halo reveals that the Conduit is capable of opening Forerunner [[slipspace portal]]s throughout the [[Milky Way]]. Additionally, it is able to enter slipspace to save itself from destruction—as demonstrated at New Mombasa. Meanwhile, 'Mdama's Covenant discovers the [[Altar]], where they plan to use it to power the Conduit. Once the Conduit is powered, 'Mdama's Covenant intends to open slipspace portals all across Gamma Halo for their [[Promethean]] allies, from which they would take control of the Halo from the UNSC. | ||

However, the dropship is shot down. Surviving the crash, the Spartan fights past his Covenant soldiers and discovers a deactivated portal that leads to the Altar. Using nearby power stations to activate the portal, the Spartan enters it and appears outside the Altar. Kwon determines that a [[M808 Scorpion|Scorpion]] is needed to break past 'Mdama's Covenant's defenses at the Altar. After the Spartan destroys several nearby [[Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith|Anti-Aircraft Wraiths]] that were preventing the UNSC from dropping off the tank via dropship, a Pelican drops off a Scorpion and the Spartan uses it to fight his way to the Altar. The Spartan kills all Covenant forces at the Altar, and reclaims the Conduit. Realizing they have lost the battle, 'Mdama's Covenant forces begin to retreat from Gamma Halo. Delivering the Conduit to a Pelican, the Spartan operates a Covenant Spirit to leave the ringworld and rendezvous with the Pelican in orbit. After returning to Ivanoff Station with the Conduit, the Spartan receives an emergency distress call from an [[New Phoenix ONI facility|ONI facility]] in New Phoenix on Earth. The Spartan learns that when Jul 'Mdama's Covenant used the Conduit at the Altar, portals were opened across the galaxy; one portal opened at the New Phoenix ONI facility, where a [[unidentified Forerunner machine|Forerunner artifact]] was being studied. Jul 'Mdama's forces and Prometheans proceeded to [[Battle of New Phoenix|invade]] the city though the portal. Realizing that the Conduit was needed to shut down the portal, the Spartan traveled to Earth with the device to end the invasion. | ||
After being inserted in New Phoenix, the Spartan makes his way through the ONI facility, completing various objectives to hinder Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean incursion. In the end, the Spartan and an ONI research team use the Conduit to deactivate a Forerunner artifact at the heart of the complex that is generating the portals, halting the invasion. Before the UNSC can reacquire the Conduit from the artifact's core, it makes an automated slipspace jump with an unknown destination. | After being inserted in New Phoenix, the Spartan makes his way through the ONI facility, completing various objectives to hinder Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and Promethean incursion.
