In orbit, they join the other [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces in defending the [[refit station]] ''[[Anchor 9]]'' until its defenses come back online. Meanwhile, the Slipspace drive of the [[Paris-class heavy frigate|frigate]] ''[[UNSC Savannah|Savannah]]'' is removed in order to be used in the mission, codenamed [[Operation: UPPER CUT]]. After the Sabres successfully defend the station from waves of Covenant fighter craft, Jorge is dropped off at ''Anchor 9'', just in time to witness the Covenant glass large areas of the planet below. | In orbit, they join the other [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces in defending the [[refit station]] ''[[Anchor 9]]'' until its defenses come back online.

The plan is to board a Covenant {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}}, place it on an automated refueling course with the supercarrier, and then activate the slipspace drive inside the corvette's hangar in close proximity of the supercarrier, effectively tearing most of the ship apart. Upon locating the Covenant corvette ''[[Ardent Prayer]]'', the ''Savannah'' and the Sabres begin their assault on the ship. | ||
After disabling its engines and eliminating its fighter escort, Six and the Sabre crews board ''Ardent Prayer'', disable its communications and make their way into the [[hangar bay|hangar]], allowing the Pelican carrying Jorge and the Slipspace drive into the ship. Six and the Sabre crews then make their way to the [[bridge]] of the ''Ardent Prayer'' and, after eliminating the command crew, initiate the corvette's refueling run with the ''Long Night of Solace''. Upon returning from the bridge, Six finds Jorge engaged against Covenant forces in the hangar. The Covenant are neutralized, but Jorge soon realizes that the Pelican was damaged in the fighting, leaving it unable to escape the ship. The Slipspace drive is also damaged, and has to be activated manually. Jorge decides to stay behind and activate the drive, sacrificing his own life but saving Noble Six by throwing him/her out of the corvette and down onto Reach, just before the corvette reaches its destination and the Slipspace drive is activated. The activation generates a Slipspace rupture that engulfs Jorge, the corvette, and the central section of the supercarrier and transports them into oblivion. For a very brief period of time, it is believed that the Covenant naval attack force at Reach was entirely neutralized by Jorge's sacrifice, but a massive [[Covenant fleet]] arrives in orbit over Reach just moments later. | After disabling its engines and eliminating its fighter escort, Six and the Sabre crews board ''Ardent Prayer'', disable its communications and make their way into the [[hangar bay|hangar]], allowing the Pelican carrying Jorge and the Slipspace drive into the ship.
