Cortana detects a battle group of seven [[ | Cortana detects a battle group of seven [[Covenant]] starships and a flagship. She also finds three [[cryo-chamber]]s that were jettisoned from the [[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|''Pillar of Autumn'']] prior to its crash on Halo. While she moves the Longsword towards the cryopods, she discovers a [[Pelican]] hiding nearby. As the Chief retrieves the cryo tubes and returns to the Longsword, the Pelican takes off and attacks the lead Covenant starship, diverting attention away from the Longsword. The two small ships link up, and several survivors jump out of the Pelican, namely [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]], [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] [[Locklear|Corporal Locklear]], [[Shiela Polaski|Warrant Officer Shiela Polaski]],<ref>[[Halopedia:Letter - Re:Polaski|Letter - Re:Polaski]]</ref> and an [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] [[Lieutenant]], [[Elias Haverson]]. The Master Chief, having seen a video of Johnson getting infected, slams him into the bulkhead and aims Johnson's pistol squarely at Johnson's head, waiting for an explanation on how he could have survived. Johnson, through his own words, says that he must not have tasted good to the Flood. After confirming with Cortana that he isn't infected Master Chief releases Johnson. | ||
Together the group manages to board the flagship, called ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. They fight their way to the bridge and along the way they plug Cortana into the vessel's computer and she effectively kills most of the combat crew by decompressing most of the decks of the vessel. However, she learns that they're running out of time, as the fleet is a prelude to [[Hierarchs|a Covenant dignitary]]'s arrival at Halo, and [[High Charity|their vessel]] has a [[High Charity Defense Fleet|massive escort]]. The group makes it to the bridge only to confront a Spec Ops Elite wielding an [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword]], whom the Master Chief defeats with the help of Johnson and Locklear, sustaining a slight injury. The defeat of the Elite warrior allows the humans to gain complete control of the Covenant flagship. | Together the group manages to board the flagship, called ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''.
