John reported to him that he was ready for action and for this Hood was grateful, as he and Keyes had constructed a plan which the admiral wasn't sure would be possible without the Spartan's help. [[Type-27 Mantis|Anti-air batterie]]s were clustered around the perimeter of the excavation site where the Covenant fleet was presently located, but Hood and Keyes believed if that just one could be neutralized then a low-level strike could be initiated with {{Class|Charon|light frigate}}s and [[GA-TL1 Longsword]] fighters.<ref name="H3CN"/><ref name="H3TS">''[[Halo 3]]'', ''[[The Storm]]''</ref> While Hood was in the midst of explaining the attack to John, the power in the ops center was suddenly lost, and when it returned the [[Prophet of Truth]] had replaced the admiral on the primary screen which he'd been communicating from and all others around it.

Johnson ensured the Master Chief that he would look after Commander Keyes, suggesting that John provide assistance to the marines downstairs.<ref name="H3CN"/> He followed two marines out of the ops center, arming himself on the way. One level below, Gunnery Sergeant Reynolds was preparing a defense of the ops center in a large cavern which led to it. When it was reported to the sergeant that Covenant had entered the base via a hangar, however, the sergeant directed John to meet the attacking force head-on. On his way there, John met up with [[Chips Dubbo]] and another marine, both of whom let him know the squad guarding the hangar was in danger of being overrun soon. Keyes contacted him on a secure channel to urge that the hangar be cleared so the wounded and others could be evacuated from there. John, Dubbo, and the other marine with them first encountered Covenant forces already further inside the base before even reaching the hangar, as they had made it to a spacious vehicle access way. John opened fire on the encroaching Jiralhanae, Kig-Yar, and Unggoy, leaving none alive between himself and the hangar. Upon finally reaching it, John lent aid to its defense, pushing back the encroachment of two [[Type-52 Phantom]]s which landed invading troops. Once it was secured enough for a Pelican to begin loading up marines for evacuation Johnson urged John to race back to the operations center, as Jiralhanae were pushing hard toward it from another part of the base. Just as he reached the cavern where Reynolds was in charge of the defense once more, a swarm of [[Yanme'e]] suddenly flew out of various vents and fell upon the defenders. John helped to eliminate them all, only advancing onward to the ops center once Reynolds was sure they were in the clear. There, Keyes spoke to him from the most prominent video screen, drawing his attention to a [[Unidentified UNSC bomb|bomb]] linked to smaller charges throughout the base. As soon as the evacuation was complete, she intended its countdown timer to start.<ref name="H3CN"/> | Johnson ensured the Master Chief that he would look after Commander Keyes, suggesting that John provide assistance to the marines downstairs.<ref name="H3CN"/> He followed two marines out of the ops center, arming himself on the way.
