With the Master Chief deployed to ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' to rescue Captain [[Jacob Keyes]], McKay was ordered to the downed ''Pillar of Autumn'' to raid the cruiser for supplies. They deployed in the night of September 19, with the darkness and the rain masking the movements of the Pelicans and troops from the Covenant occupiers of the crash site.{{Ref/Reuse|flood3}} In the dawn hours of September 20, the company attacked the Covenant defenders - now-weary from their night shifts - and began to eliminate the defenders. The battle took several hours, though eventually McKay's forces were able to push the Covenant out of the ship or lock them in non-essential sections. For several hours, the ODSTs loaded up [[Warthog]]s and [[Scorpion]] tanks before preparing to make their way back to Alpha Base. Due to the limited amount of personnel, McKay and her platoon leaders were to join the action as drivers or gunners.<ref>''Halo: The Flood'', Chapter 4</ref><ref>''Halo: The Flood'', Chapter 5</ref> The Lieutenant split the force up into three temporary platoons, with McKay leading Third Platoon - tasked with defending the other Warthogs and tanks from [[Ghost]]s and infantry.
