==Introduction==
South of the [[Forerunner]] structure, a collection of thousands of spiked rock formations known as the [[Basalt Maze]] protruded from the moon's thick ice. Covenant supply lines were running straight through the Maze to set up more defenses around the Forerunner structure.

[[Edward Davis|Spartan Davis]] connected with UNSC combat technicians who believed they could render the Forerunner structure inert. They just needed the chance to get inside the structure. Getting the combat engineers close to the Forerunner structure would be extremely difficult, so Davis created a diversion to provide them with the best chance. The Basalt Maze provided an ideal location for his plan. 

==Objectives==
===Destroy the Wraiths===
[[Edward Davis|Spartan Edward Davis]] and two [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] are standing in a small UNSC outpost with a stationary turret nearby; they must destroy six Wraiths. A {{Pattern|Ogab'd|anti-aircraft Wraith}} moves towards the outpost, but Davis takes control of the turret to destroy it. Its [[Unggoy Minor]] escort detail is also killed by Davis. Davis and the Marines continue north where they encounter a second AA Wraith and its Unggoy guards. After the trio manages to destroy the Wraith, two [[Unggoy Major]]s attack from the north, but are quickly killed. As they move forward, several more Unggoy futilely attempt to stop the Spartan. With several stationary turrets nearby, Davis destroys an oncoming {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}. Directly behind it, a third AA Wraith arrives and attacks the Spartan and a [[Sangheili Major]] rushes the Spartan. Davis manages to destroy all Covenant forces.

As he moves forward, a second Type-26 Wraith arrives, escorted by several [[Sangheili Minor]]s, Majors, and a large [[lance]] of [[Kig-Yar Minor]]s. Additionally, Davis and the Marines are attacked by several [[suicide attack|suicidal]] Unggoy from the north. After destroying the fifth Wraith, Covenant forces continue to attack Davis and any surviving Marines. Soon, the sixth and final AA Wraith arrives. The Spartan eventually manages to destroy it.

===Reach the extraction point===
With the six Wraiths destroyed, Davis and the surviving Marines flee south to the extraction point. Another Type-26 Wraith attacks from the north and follows the Spartan, accompanied by a Sangheili Major and several suicidal Unggoy Minors. Davis and the Marines continue to retrace their steps south, while engaging large amounts of Unggoy Minors and Majors. Eventually, Davis returns to the UNSC outpost he started at initially and boards a landed [[AV-14 Hornet]] along with any surviving Marines.

===Complete the mission before reinforcements arrive===
This objective is active concurrently with the two objectives above. Davis has four minutes and thirty seconds to destroy the six Wraiths before the reinforcements arrive.
