At the lab, Halsey discovers Colonel Ackerson's plans, which contain extensive lists on "Her Spartans", a star chart reference, and a third file labeled "[[KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN]]". Before she can access these, however, a UNSC [[Smart AI|AI]] named [[Araqiel]] appears and attempts to stop her by threatening to kill her or the Spartans. She destroys it using a bypass code she herself had programmed, but causes some concern with [[Kalmiya|her personal AI]]. The Covenant then invades the base, and the Spartans and Halsey escape to the old titanium mines beneath CASTLE Base right before its destruction, which blocks their only exit. Having no other alternatives, the Spartans and Halsey venture deep into the tunnels. | At the lab, Halsey discovers Colonel Ackerson's plans, which contain extensive lists on "Her Spartans", a star chart reference, and a third file labeled "[[KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN]]".

Inside, the Spartans receive armor upgrades and Fred discovers several symbols, which ultimately open a large tunnel, leading into an even larger room. In the room's center, they find a [[Forerunner crystal]]. While walking toward it, the Spartans and Halsey discover that it bends the space around them, and if brought into slipspace, would allow them to travel longer distances with the same amount of energy. They retrieve the crystal, which emits radiation, and the Covenant finds them.

They retrieve the crystal, which emits radiation, and the Covenant finds them. The Covenant land forces inside the room using reversed [[gravity lift]]s, forcing the humans to retreat. Fred orders Isaac and Vinh to stay behind to form a rearguard action, but the two are overwhelmed and killed. The remaining Spartans and Dr. Halsey continue to flee through the tunnels. As the Covenant follows them, they meet a dead end. | ||

*In the 2010 adjunct section, Fred-104 is incorrectly referred to as a lieutenant during his psychological evaluation, which takes place during the early stages of the [[Battle for Earth]]. He actually held the rank of senior chief petty officer at this time and was not promoted to lieutenant, junior grade until the [[Onyx Conflict]]. | *In the 2010 adjunct section, Fred-104 is incorrectly referred to as a lieutenant during his psychological evaluation, which takes place during the early stages of the [[Battle for Earth]].

*Prior to colliding in the launch bay of Ascendant Justice, the Longsword is going at a speed of 300 m/s. This is equivalent to 1080 km/h (671 mph) and a sudden stop at that speed would kill the occupants immediately because of whiplash. A more reasonable speed would be 30 m/s, equivalent to 108 km/h (67 mph) which, while still violent, would be survivable.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''Chapter 6''</ref> | *Prior to colliding in the launch bay of Ascendant Justice, the Longsword is going at a speed of 300 m/s.
