Upon landing, John-117 led the ODSTs in eliminating Covenant Shades stationed around a small temple, in order to clear an LZ for vehicular reinforcement. After successfully clearing the temple and it's courtyard, John-117 and his Troopers defended the position against waves of Covenant troops until a Pelican could drop off an [[M12 Chaingun Warthog]]. After liberating a nearby Forerunner bridge-control facility, a [[Scorpion]] was delivered alongside [[Marine]] reinforcements. The UNSC forces assaulted the bridge, which was defended by a [[Wraith]], numerous [[Ghost]]s and a pair of [[Banshee]]s. After successfully crossing, the convoy continued to battle through a vast temple complex, encountering significant Covenant defenses en route to Regret's location. After securing a large temple, the force dismounted and were resupplied with weapons and reinforcements via Pelican before securing the interior on foot. A passage inside the temple opened into a small vale occupied by Covenant, and after neutralizing a sizable force of Covenant Infantry, John-117 and his forces arrived at the edge of the lake containing Regret's temple. | |||
