Meanwhile, Lasky, escorted by marines and Fireteam Taurus, fought their way to a lifeboat,{{Ref/Game|Id=e1|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Evacuation 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Evacuation #01 - Infinity Down}} allowing the former to escape onboard. Griffin and the other members of Taurus refused to accompany Lasky in his dropship, electing to stay behind. Once inside the ship, Lasky began issuing a general evacuation call, but was cut off mid-sentence as his ship came under fire.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Infinity's Approach 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Infinity's Approach #12 - Abandon Ship}} After ensuring Captain Lasky’s lifeboat was away, Spartan Griffin ordered the evacuation of the remaining Spartan-IVs.{{Ref/Reuse|e1}} Spartan-IVs, marines, and crew fled onboard hundreds of [[M9407 drop pod|drop pods]],{{Ref/Novel|Id=trp2|TRP|Chapter=2}}{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Evacuation 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Evacuation #07 - Intrepid Descent}} Pelicans,{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Ringfall 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Ringfall #01 - Enemy Territory}} and [[SKT-29 Bumblebee|lifeboats]] to the surface of Installation 07.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Ringfall 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Ringfall #02 - The Calm Before}} [[F-41 Broadsword|Broadswords]], [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longswords]], and Pelicans provided support to the evacuation by combating the Banished [[Banshee]]s,{{Ref/Game|Id=e06|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Evacuation 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Evacuation #06 - Buying Time}}  [[Seraph]]s, [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Phantoms]], and [[Dovotaa Workshop Griever]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|trp1}} Some escapees were escorted by members of [[Fireteam Windfall]]'s [[FSS-1000 Sabre]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|trp1}}{{Ref/Reuse|e06}}{{Ref/Reuse|trp2}} Dropships and lifepods fled the ''Infinity'', many being shot down seconds after exiting the vessel.{{Ref/Reuse|e3}} Escape craft that entered the ring's atmosphere were met by Banished anti-air artillery.{{Ref/Game|Id=e3|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Evacuation 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Evacuation #03 - Touchdown}}

Fireteam Taurus escaped onboard ''[[Victor 321]]'', but Spartan Griffin commanded the pilot to land near three Banished anti-air artilleries already set up on the ring's surface, to disable the cannons and ensure the safety of the incoming survivors.{{Ref/Reuse|e3}}{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Ringfall 2|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Ringfall #03 - Priority One}}

As UNSC forces scattered over the ring and fought against the Banished forces, Atriox confronted Cortana, claiming he had killed John-117, leaving the latter devastated by the news of John-117's apparent death. Having consolidated her presence and core processes at the Silent Auditorium and seemingly locked down by the Weapon deployed from {{UNSCShip|Infinity}},{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p423}} Cortana could not retaliate.{{Ref/Quest|HI|Endless|Silent Auditorium|Quote=Look around, Cortana. Your Empire. Over! Your great plan? Ended at the hands of those who made you.|Quotee=Atriox}} Atriox presented her with the terms of her surrender, intending to take control of the ring and unlock the secrets locked within the [[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]].{{Ref/Quest|HI|Endless|Silent Auditorium|Quote=I have learned so much, Cortana. this Ring is different. It has secrets within... That I will have. This... Silent Auditorium. Do you know its history? Its true purpose? I have little needs for a failed god. This Ring is all I need. Surrender it to me.|Quotee=Atriox}}  In an attempt to prevent Atriox from accessing Silent Auditorium or possibly activating the ring, Cortana initiated a local self-dstruction sequence at the Auditorium, killing herself, fracturing the ring's surface, and leaving the installation inoperable.{{Ref/Reuse|enc22p25}}{{Ref/Quest|Id=sa|HI|Endless|Silent Auditorium|Quote=It was her.

On [[2560#May|May 14, 2560]], UNSC survivors under the leadership of Spartan [[Nina Kovan]] undertook a mission with the help of [[Submonitor]] [[091 Adjutant Veridity]] to broadcast Zeta Halo's new coordinates to UNSC space in the hopes of summoning reinforcements.{{Ref/Novel|Id=trp32|TRP|Chapter=32}} Although successful in making the broadcast, [[TJ Murphy]] and [[Isaiah Cameron]] were killed in [[Battle of the Beacon Tower|the battle]],{{Ref/Novel|Id=trp35|TRP|Chapter=35}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=trp36|TRP|Chapter=36}} while Spartan [[Tomas Horvath]] was teleported elsewhere on the ring.{{Ref/Novel|Id=trp39|TRP|Chapter=39}}
