In [[2551#December|December 2551]], Rosenda and the rest of NOBLE were sent to [[Concord]] to [[Defense of Concord|defend]] the [[Human colonies|colony]] from [[Covenant]] invasion. By December 12, a joint effort between the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC Army Rangers|Army Rangers]] and the [[Concordian militia]] had denied the Covenant air superiority, and also drove the invaders from the major cities. Following this, the unusually small number of Covenant [[Covenant starship|warship]]s in orbit had been neutralized by a UNSC strike group. After being rerouted from one of the cities, NOBLE's [[Pelican]] was downed in the mountains of the [[Hinterlands region]] during a particularly brutal snowstorm. They made their way to the town of [[Skathi]], which was under imminent threat from a contingent of Covenant ground forces. As the others were preparing the citizens of the town for the coming battle, [[Jun-A266]] informed them that a {{Pattern|Zashk|Draugr}} siege platform was leading the charge. Formulating a plan, [[Kat-B320]] had Rosenda and [[Thom-A293]] join her in their [[M862 Arctic Warthog]] while the rest of NOBLE stayed in town as a rear guard.{{Ref/Reuse|WC}} | In [[2551#December|December 2551]], Rosenda and the rest of NOBLE were sent to [[Concord]] to [[Defense of Concord|defend]] the [[Human colonies|colony]] from [[Covenant]] invasion.

Kat drove their treaded Warthog straight at the approaching convoy, attracting the attention of the Draugr's escort of six {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s and mortar fire from two {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}s. The Ghosts began to flank the Spartans' Warthog, but Rosenda flung open her gullwing door and fired her [[assault rifle]] in short controlled bursts, killing the drivers of the first three Ghosts before targeting the fuel cell of the fourth, causing the vehicle to detonate. As the Warthog neared one of the Ghosts, Thom leapt to the vehicle and took it for himself. Kat directed him to draw the fire of the Draugr as she and Rosenda prepared to board the siege engine in spectacular fashion. Kat used a nearby rocky outcropping to launch the Warthog into the lower troop bay of the Draugr. Immediately after their vehicle came to a rest, Rosenda launched from her seat and killed multiple Kig-Yar with her [[combat knife]]. With the welcome party eliminated, Kat got to work opening the Draugr's forward loading ramp so that Thom could get inside as well. As Rosenda and Thom provided cover, Kat used the siege engine's own [[focus cannon]]s to obliterate the remaining Ghosts and Wraiths. Knowing that the remaining Covenant infantry would frantically attempt to reclaim the Draugr, Kat reopened the loading ramp and the three Spartans prepared to ambush the boarders.{{Ref/Reuse|WC}} | Kat drove their treaded Warthog straight at the approaching convoy, attracting the attention of the Draugr's escort of six {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}s and mortar fire from two {{Pattern|Zurdo|Wraith}}s.

After dealing with the rest of the infantry, the Spartans brought the Draugr back to the outskirts of Skathi, where a pair of Pelicans would land a few hours later. As some of the others unloaded supplies from the dropships, Rosenda talked with [[Jorge-052]] about what the citizens of the town would do following the battle. She worried that this victory would not last long, and that the Covenant would return with a much more sizable force. [[Carter-A259]] then called them over for a situation update, where he stated that [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] was sending them to [[Fumirole]], which was expected to be [[Battle of Fumirole|attacked]] in short order. Carter also informed Rosenda that she was being reassigned. NOBLE exchanged formal goodbyes and saluted before they boarded their Pelicans—Rosenda in one of the dropships alone, and the rest of NOBLE in the other. Before the Pelicans lifted off, Thom pinged her on [[TEAMCOM]] to wish her luck and to say that he would | After dealing with the rest of the infantry, the Spartans brought the Draugr back to the outskirts of Skathi, where a pair of Pelicans would land a few hours later.

As the two dropships flew in opposite directions, Rosenda wondered if she would ever see them again.{{Ref/Reuse|WC}} | ||
