After [[Ellen Anders|Prof. Anders]] escapes from the top of the Apex, Sergeant [[John Forge]] rescues her from 3 Flood Infection forms. They, escorted by a couple of [[Marine]] squads, head off to a nearby LZ where a [[Pelican]] arrives to pick up Anders and bring her to safety. Sergeant Forge is then tasked to capture and take control of 4 other nearby Covenant bases. Due to the difficulty of this task, [[Red Team]] [[Spartan II]]s arrive onto the ground via HEVs to assist the Sergeant. Also with the help of a newly built UNSC firebase, they complete their task with difficulty and success. While banshees fly over your bases often, the Covenant have left a Scarab because it was contaminated by the Flood. You have an option to kill the Flood (a very easy task) and you can then get a Spartan to control the Scarab which would normally be impossible as the Scarab is controlled by Lekgelo worms. | After [[Ellen Anders|Prof. Anders]] escapes from the top of the Apex, Sergeant [[John Forge]] rescues her from 3 Flood Infection forms.

*To be able to get the [[Beaming with Pride]] achievement, you will have to get a scarab even though it is normally impossible, but there is a unoccupied Scarab to the west of the map which was abandoned because of the Flood. You are able to occupy it with a Spartan and it will also serve very useful on the assault on the other bases. | |||
===Miscellaneous=== | |||
*Unlike most levels, it is possible for a Spartan to board a specific unmanned [[Scarab]] in this level. It was captured by the [[Flood]], and as [[Sergeant Forge]] said, "The [[Covenant]] left the keys in it". Killing 25 enemy units with this Scarab will unlock the [[Beaming with Pride]] Achievement. Strangely enough, said Scarab is also labeled a "Super" Scarab, like the one that was destroyed in the Seventh level. This was made to create a new unit to prevent the heavy "20" population count. Note that this scarab is somewhat weaker than a regular scarab and that one will destroy this scarab easily in a one on one fight. | *Unlike most levels, it is possible for a Spartan to board a specific unmanned [[Scarab]] in this level.
