'''Operation: BUMRUSH''' was an [[operation]] as [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] attempt to infiltrate and force down the [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[flagship]], ''[[Solemn Penance]]'', during the [[Battle of Mombasa]] as part of the nascent [[Battle for Earth]] on [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]].{{Ref/Reuse|lootcrate2}}<ref name="ReferenceA">''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', campaign level, [[Prepare to Drop]]</ref>

During the opening stages of the [[Battle for Earth]], the ''[[Solemn Penance|Penance]]'' blew past UNSC [[orbital defense platform|defenses]] in orbit and set course for the [[Africa]]n mega-city of [[New Mombasa]], settling over the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]] and deploying massive numbers of ground infantry and heavy equipment with the intent to drive the [[UNSC]] out of the area to begin its excavation effort for the supposed [[Forerunner]] [[Installation 00|Ark]].<ref name="outskirts">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level, [[Outskirts]]</ref><ref name="metropolis">''Halo 2'', campaign level, [[Metropolis]]</ref><ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', campaign level, [[Uplift Reserve]]</ref> Realizing that they were at a tactical disadvantage, all [[Covenant]] forces eventually began retreating to [[Prophet of Regret]]'s [[CAS-class assault carrier|carrier]].

As the battle on the ground intensified, [[FLEETCOM]] issued an unexpected order: several [[UNSC starship|vessels]] of the [[Fifth Fleet]] were to launch a force of [[ODST]]s onto the carrier to breach its hull and force the ship down by gaining access to the interior.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/video/into-hell-1/6c327f74-5bc0-43c4-ac92-0feef4a712b0 ''Halo Waypoint'': Into Hell 1]</ref>

At 1602 hours, Operation: BUMRUSH was greenlit and these vessels, among them the cruiser ''Say My Name,'' [[SOEIV|deployed]] their respective contingents of troopers into Earth's atmosphere above the city. At 1603 hours, one minute into the drop, the ''Penance'' suddenly initiated an in-atmosphere [[Slipstream space|Slipspace]] jump, creating a massive [[electromagnetic pulse]] that fried the safety and navigational systems of the troopers' drop pods, sending them all free-falling to near-certain death and effectively terminating the operation.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

==Aftermath==
[[Alpha-Nine]], having diverted their trajectory at the last minute, is the only squad known to survive the drop, albeit scattering its troopers across the city. After regrouping, Alpha-Nine was able to escape the city in a stolen [[Phantom]] before it was [[Glassing|glassed]] by a Covenant reinforced and [[Truth's fleet|excavation fleet]]. Regret, having entered slipspace to escape the city, arrived at [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 05]] about [[2552#November|two weeks later]], precipitating the [[Battle of Installation 05]] and his eventual [[Assassination of the Prophet of Regret|death]] at the hands of [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[John-117]]. The ultimate fate of the ''Penance'' is unknown.<ref name = "Regret">''[[Halo 2]]'', campaign level [[Regret (Halo 2 level)|Regret]]</ref>
