When [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] arrived at the base, [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Hood]] briefed him and the command staff at the base, including the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] about a low-level assault on [[Covenant Loyalist]] warships stationed over the so called "[[Portal|Ark]]". However, their communication systems were hacked into and the humans received a transmission from the Prophet of Truth, who declared that humanity was doomed to destruction, thus initiating his assault on the Crow's Nest. The UNSC moved to evacuate the facility, electing to destroy the base once they had fled their Covenant attackers. John-117, [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Pete Stacker]], Gunnery Sergeant [[Reynolds]], and the Arbiter then organized a defense of the base. | When [[Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief]] [[John-117]] arrived at the base, [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Hood]] briefed him and the command staff at the base, including the [[Thel 'Vadam|Arbiter]] and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] about a low-level assault on [[Covenant Loyalist]] warships stationed over the so called "[[Portal|Ark]]".

In the opening stage of the battle, the [[John-117| Master Chief]] and his allies attacked infantry, mainly Grunts and Jackals in a large roadway containing numerous supply trucks and armaments. They then assaulted the barracks, where the Marines were being massacred by Brute forces. They were successful in rescuing the remaining survivors and wiping out their killers. They then advanced on one of the base's hangars controlled by [[Covenant Loyalist]] forces, with support by [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Type-52 "Phantom" Troop Carriers]].<ref name="crow"/> The UNSC forces then sent in several Pelicans to collect their remaining forces. The Master Chief was forced to return to the command center when the Brutes attempted to disarm the bomb meant to destroy the base, and quickly reactivated the bomb upon killing the Brutes. With the bomb approaching detonation, the Master Chief and the remaining stragglers retreated to the elevator, fleeing to the underground motor pool just as the bomb detonated. | In the opening stage of the battle, the [[John-117| Master Chief]] and his allies attacked infantry, mainly [[Unggoy | Grunts]] and Jackals in a large roadway containing numerous supply trucks and armaments.
