''We pan around to look out the cockpit window. An explosion appears on a cliff just ahead of them. On the Pelican's front console, a [[Discover Hope|caution indicator]] is present. As the Pelican passes through the explosion, the scenery of the [[Installation 07|installation]] is revealed, including a large [[Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannon|anti-aircraft cannon]] that sits on a plateau directly ahead. It fires, resulting in an explosion immediately in front of the Pelican. The Pelican begins an abrupt dive and the caution indicator changes to a striped alert.

He walks over a small hill, and engages the Grunts on the other side. Once he kills the Grunts, he reloads and multiple yellow hexagons appear as his shields recharge. He walks across a small wetland, observing a large piece of starship debris that has landed nearby, immediately starboard of the Pelican's crash landing site. As he observes the debris, an [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom]] comes into view, and the Chief tracks it as it crosses the sky and observes it as it lands. He [[sprint]]s to a nearby [[Warthog]] and drives it through a small debris field below the large debris and up a hillside, towards the Banished Phantom. He engages his [[TACMAP]], interacting with the icons for the three anti-aircraft batteries, setting the western battery as his target. He closes his TACMAP and resumes driving across the wetland, being engaged by Grunts as he takes his Warthog off a cliffside ramp.''

''The Chief backs away as the Brute uses its [[jetpack]] to take to the air. The spike grenade detonates, killing the Brute, causing it to crash back to the ground. He grabs the Brute's [[Veporokk Workshop Ravager]], switches to his MK50 and reloads. He continues to the lift and activates it. As the lift goes up, the Chief takes in the scenery. Some avian creatures fly past, and then are again seen as the Chief reaches the top. He looks around further at the scenery before seeing a Banished Phantom approaching, which then turns and continues on. A Jackal emerges from behind a cargo crate, which the Chief engages, but doesn't kill, before switching to the Ravager, which he uses on an engaging Grunt. He reloads just in time to see a Grunt with an armed plasma grenade flying at him, having been thrown by a Brute.

The detonation of the plasma grenade depletes his shields as he kills a Jackal. He [[Spartan abilities#Clamber|climbs]] on a nearby crate, and jumps, engaging another Jackal.

He sprints to a nearby cliffside and [[grappleshot|grapples]] up, encountering a Grunt. He charges forward and melees the Grunt with his Mangler, killing it. He pushes forward and sees a [[Bolroci Workshop Shade]] on a short cliff, which begins firing at him, but not before he can take cover behind a rock. He engages a pair of Grunts to the right of the rock, killing them. He sees a [[Fusion coil]] next to a bunker and uses his grappleshot to pull it to him. He emerges from behind the rock and throws it at the Shade, disabling the Shade's shield. It pivots to engage the Chief, but the occupant is killed before it can. He walks up a short dirt ramp, passing the Shade, and engaging a Brute, Jackals and Grunts. The Chief throws a spike grenade past the Brute.''
