Having retaken [[Alpha Base (Harvest)|Alpha Base]], Sergeant [[John Forge]] observes the [[Covenant]] activity outside of the [[Relic]]. In particular, Forge observes [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]] who commands his troops to open the structure despite the dangers of the [[Flood]] being inside. On the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, Professor [[Ellen Anders]] insists that she must see the structure for herself to determine its purpose and Captain [[James Cutter]] agrees to send her on the condition that Anders will be evacuated at the first sign of danger. At the same time, the Arbiter reports to the [[Prophet of Regret]] on the success of their mission. Though pleased by what the Relic has revealed, the Prophet of Regret, to the Arbiter's shock, orders that the Covenant must destroy the holy Relic to keep it out of human hands to protect what the Covenant has learned there. The Arbiter concedes to the Prophet's wishes and begins having his troops plant [[plasma charge]]s.

Before assaulting the Covenant position, Forge has to rebuild Alpha Base which, while retaken, still remains destroyed. With the base rebuilt, Forge amasses a large assault force and launches an attack on the Covenant position outside of the base which includes a [[Covenant citadel]] and a shield wall blocking progress forward. Forge's assault force is able to eliminate the Covenant forces and take down the shield wall. Discovering the detonator for the charges in the opening to the Relic, Forge's troops destroy it, ending the Covenant attempt to blow up the Relic. With that danger eliminated, Forge secures the area for Anders to come down and join him.
