{{Article quote|Your orders are to destroy Sword Base... Or are they?}}
Completing the level on Normal or higher earns the player the [[This Is Not Your Grave]] achievement and 20 gamerscore. The [[Firefight]] map [[Glacier]] is based on the last section of this level.
 
'''The Package''' is the ninth level in the [[campaign]] of ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.  


==Plot==
==Plot==
The level begins on [[2552#August|August 29, 2552]]. It takes place around the destroyed [[SWORD Base]], as well as in an interior cavern underneath the facility. [[Noble Team]] is ordered to destroy Sword Base in [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE|a torch-and-burn op]]. [[Noble Six]] and a small strike force of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] infiltrates Sword Base to take out [[Covenant]] [[Cheru-pattern Tyrant|anti-air turrets]]. On their way to the facility, the team finds an operational [[M808C Scorpion|Scorpion tank]] that they use to fight through Covenant forces around Sword Base. Meanwhile, the [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcons]] carrying the rest of Noble Team land at Sword Base and begin the assault.

[[Noble Team]] is ordered to destroy Sword Base in a torch-and-burn op. [[Noble Six]] and a small strike force of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] infiltrates Sword Base to take out [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Type-38 Anti-Aircraft Cannon|anti-air turrets]]. On their way to the facility, the team finds an operational [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion tank]] that they use to fight through Covenant forces around Sword Base. Meanwhile, the [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcons]] carrying the rest of Noble Team land at Sword Base and begin the assault.


Noble Six arrives at Sword Base, and the entire team pushes through to a set of prearranged coordinates. However, there is nothing there. [[Auntie Dot]] receives a set of revised coordinates from an [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] of unknown origin, and a hidden door slides back to reveal an excavation tunnel. Noble Team rides a cart down the tunnel, where they find a large cavern housing a [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|massive Forerunner vessel]] embedded in the ice. On the way down, [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] reveals herself as the one who orchestrated their arrival. She asks for their assistance in defending her lab while she decrypts final information from the crashed Forerunner ship.
Noble Six arrives at Sword Base, and the entire team pushes through to a set of pre-arranged coordinates. However, there is nothing there. [[Auntie Dot]] receives a set of revised coordinates from an [[AI]] of unknown origin, and a hidden door slides back to reveal an excavation tunnel. Noble Team rides a cart down the tunnel, where they find a large cavern housing a massive [[Babd Catha Forerunner complex|Forerunner artifact]]. On the way down, [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] reveals herself as the one who orchestrated their arrival. She asks for their assistance in defending her lab while she decrypts final information from the Forerunner ruins.


Noble Team uses [[M8 Automated Defense System|Wolf Spider turrets]] to defend the lab as the Covenant begin their attack. They engage in an open firefight against incoming waves of Covenant and after a period of time, Dr. Halsey opens the doors to the lab. Noble Team walks into the lab, revealing a large, glowing Forerunner artifact in the center. Dr. Halsey tells them about a great discovery that could change the tide of [[Human-Covenant War|the war]], and stresses that it is imperative that they get the information off-planet. She then shows them [[Cortana]], who is revealed to be the AI that sent them the revised coordinates. She stores Cortana in an [[armored matrix]] and gives it to Noble Six, whom Cortana has chosen.

[[Jun]] leaves to escort Halsey to [[CASTLE Base]], while the rest of Noble Team gets into a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] to fly to the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} that is awaiting their arrival. As they depart, a large underground explosion destroys Sword Base, denying the Covenant access to whatever remains.

===Miscellaneous===
===Miscellaneous===
*The [[Firefight]] maps [[Outpost]] and [[Glacier (Halo: Reach map)|Glacier]] are based on respectively the first and last section of this level.
*The [[Banshee]]s in the final sequence of this level have no pilots; this can be easily seen when hijacking one. Still, you can get a [[Bone Cracker Medall]] medal or a [[Splatter]] medal by flip the Banshee immediately when you hijack one.
*The first half of level was originally planned to include Brutes, Warthogs, Phantoms and Pelican dropships.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1180933|Site=halo.bungie.org|Page=Re: So I was browsing Linkedin profiles}} They were removed from the level because of memory constraints due to the presence of the Scorpion tank. In addition to this, the Scorpion tank was planned to be deployed by a Pelican dropship rather than left abandoned for players.
*When Dr. Halsey talks to Noble Team at the end of the level, she closes a display screen of Jorge and Kat, both of whom have been listed as [[MIA]].
*During Solo Campaign, three ODSTs will accompany Noble Six in the beginning section. During [[Cooperative Play]], however, only two ODSTs will accompany the players, even though the beginning cutscene depicts three ODSTs in the team.
*This is the last level in which Colonel Urban Holland makes an appearance.
*If the player does not take the Scorpion after a certain amount of time, the ODSTs will take it.
*Since the remaining members of NOBLE Team are plot-critical characters, Carter's Falcon, which carries Jun and Emile, is invincible.
*The cutscene in which Dr. Halsey briefs Noble Team on the Forerunner artifact is interactive. Rather like ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''{{'}}s ''[[Prepare To Drop]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]''{{'}}s ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' final cutscene, the player can look around but not move. If one looks down, it is possible to see the Spartan's emblem on their chest, the only way to do so in single player (excluding [[Theater]] mode).
*[[Meal, Ready-to-Eat]] packages can be seen scattered outside Dr. Halsey's lab.
*The Banshees in the final sequence of this level have no pilots; this can be easily seen when hijacking one. Still, the player can get a [[Bone Cracker Medal|Pummel]] medal or a [[Splatter Medal]] by flipping the Banshee immediately when the player hijacks one.
*When Dr. Halsey talks to Noble Team at the end of the level, she has a display screen of Noble Team, including [[Jorge-052]] and Kat-B320, both of whom have been listed as [[MIA]].
