Red Team easily defeats the massive Sangheili force, and Sergeant Forge eventually kills the Arbiter by stabbing his neck with extreme his [[Close Quarters Combat Weapon System|combat knife]] and finishing him off with his own [[Energy Sword]]. The reactor, by then, is already overheated and will have to be set off manually. [[Jerome-092]], the leader of Red Team, offers to set it off manually at the expense of his life, but Sergeant Forge takes the responsibility, quoting that the humans will need every [[Spartan-II]] possible. | ||
Meanwhile, the | Meanwhile, the ''Spirit of Fire'' is trapped inside the [[Shield World]] due to an escape passage being closed. The ground forces eventually defeat massive forces of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], [[Flood]], and [[Sentinels]] to open up a passage that will allow the Spirit to fly out. When the reactor is set off inside the sun, the gravitational forces pull the Spirit into it, but due to some careful maneuvering by [[Serina]], the Spirit slingshots around the sun and out of the planet. The planet, the internal sun, and countless waves of Covenant, Flood, and Sentinels are destroyed from the resulting explosion. | ||
After two weeks of no Covenant or Flood, the majority of the ''Spirit'''s crew is put into cryo-pods, along with a protesting [[Professor Anders]]. When [[Captain Cutter]] walks by an open pod, revealed to be that of the late Sergeant Forge he closes it, sighs, then walks off, presumably into his own pod. | After two weeks of no Covenant or Flood, the majority of the ''Spirit'''s crew is put into cryo-pods, along with a protesting [[Ellen Anders|Professor Anders]].

'''Serina''': Based on Anders' observations, the alien technology will only react to ''human'' touch. Any other alien life nearby will lock the system. | '''Serina''': Based on Anders' observations, the alien technology will only react to ''human'' touch.

'''Jerome-092''': Clear out the area around this interlock. | |||
=== Post-Level Cutscene === | ''Upon releasing the first interlock.'' | ||
'''Jerome-092''': We got this interlock released. | |||
'''Anders''': The doors have some sort of [[List of Forerunner Symbols|alien glyphs]] on them. That may be the key to opening them. | |||
'''Forge''': Forge to Cutter. I'm beginning my ascent. Estimate thirty minutes to the detonation site. | |||
''A 30-minute countdown to the detonation appears.'' | |||
''When the timer reaches 19:10.'' | |||
'''Forge''': Forge here. I'm at the access point to the sun. I'll need some time to break through. | |||
''When the timer reaches 11:10.'' | |||
'''Serina''': Covenant forces will be at Forge's position in approximately ten minutes. | |||
'''Forge''': I'm in the sun. You heard Serina, I'll wait ten minutes, then detonate the core. That's all the time I can give you. | |||
'''Cutter''': Roger that. We can't let them leave with [[Unnamed Forerunner Starship|those ships]]. Good luck, Sergeant. | |||
''Upon spotting a Scarab.'' | |||
'''Serina''': Watch out. Several large Covenant vehicles have been spotted. | |||
''Upon spotting the Covenant base west of the portal.'' | |||
'''Serina''': We've spotted a large Covenant base west of the portal. | |||
'''Anders''': We are detecting movement coming from the east side of the portal. Possible large alien infection. | |||
''Upon releasing the second interlock.'' | |||
'''Anders''': That's it. The doors are paired. You need to activate both doors of a set to open them. | |||
''Upon releasing the third interlock.'' | |||
'''Jerome-092''': Another interlock is down. | |||
''After releasing the final interlock, the mission ends.'' | |||
===Post-Level In-Game Cutscene=== | |||
''The portal opens, the arms supporting its central ring unlock and descend into the pit one by one. Finally, the central ring releases a burst of energy and falls into the tunnel. Two Pelicans fly over the portal.'' | |||
'''Cutter''': Sergeant Forge. All ground forces are evacuating back to the ''Spirit of Fire''. | |||
'''Forge''': Copy that. Get our people out of here. I'm blowing the core. | |||

Camera gradually pans to the bridge where Cutter and Anders are gazing out the window.'' | ''Cinematic starts with Spirit of Fire seen facing toward the artificial sun which is beginning to degenerate.
