As it closed down on the moon, the {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} performed a high-speed [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOEIV]] deployment, down to [[the Redoubt]] on the surface of Metisette. The ''Midsummer Night'' came under fire from Kig-Yar [[Covenant anti-aircraft battery|anti-aircraft guns]], and slowed down, to allow the pods to drop, before speeding off out the atmosphere again.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 312''</ref> The pods landed in the Redoubt's plaza, where [[Unggoy]] were waiting in buildings. There were two main forces of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] that landed; one with [[Jai-006]], and one with [[Adriana-111]].

Unfortunately, Adriana landed among a large group of Unggoy. She fought them off with her [[battle rifle]] and a [[M41 rocket launcher]], until she ran out of ammo. Then she used a [[Mongoose]] to physically beat the Unggoy to death.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 320''</ref> Eventually, she regrouped with her squad of ODSTs, only to discover that only six of the original sixteen had survived; the others killed by the Kig-Yar. They were however successful in destroying the anti-aircraft guns. Jai's men landed with the [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|''Shiva''-class nuclear missile]],<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 315''</ref> and planted it in the sensor hub and set a 2-hour timer.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 317''</ref>
