After the [[John-117|Master Chief]] broke through Covenant defenses, [[Corporal]] [[Perez (Marine)|Perez]] guided him and [[Cortana]] to Banks while briefing them. Staff Sergeant Banks was found on the roof of a building (an impromptu command center) held by the Marines of "A" Company. After seeing the Master Chief, Sergeant Banks expressed surprise at his appearance. After a [[Type-47 Ultra Heavy Assault Platform|Scarab]] crushed most of his defenses, he called on the Master Chief to help him take out the Scarab. Along with his platoon he fired upon the Scarab from the cover of a nearby bridge while the Chief dove onto the Scarab, killing its crew and disabling it.
