Each tower was heavily protected. The tower which [[John-117]] was assigned to take out was protected by an [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Artillery|Anti-Aircraft Wraith]] and a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain]] as well as multiple [[Type-26 Anti-Infantry Stationary Gun|Shade turrets]], a Wraith, and a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain]] guarding the controls. Johnson's tower was protected by two [[Type-52 Anti-Aircraft Artillery|Anti-Aircraft Wraiths]], one normal [[Type-26 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]], a War Chieftain lookout, a pair of [[Mgalekgolo]] and a swarm of [[Yanme'e]]. The controls were protected by [[Jiralhanae Stalker]]s and a War Chieftain.<ref name="covenant"/> | Each tower was heavily protected.

While SPARTAN-117's and the Arbiter's groups managed to deactivate their two assigned barrier towers, Johnson's force ran into heavy Covenant resistance at the third tower, and Johnson's men were killed while Johnson was taken prisoner by the Covenant and taken to the Citadel itself. John-117 was ordered to take a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet VTOL]] to attack and land on the third barrier tower, deactivate it and attempt to find Johnson. Even though the Spartan successfully deactivated the last barrier tower, he was unable to find Johnson. Immediately after the third tower's deactivation, the [[The Flood|Flood]]-infested [[High Charity]] appeared and crashed on the Ark's surface nearby. As it went down, it released large chunks of debris, as well as [[Flood dispersal pod]]s, one of which smashed through the window of the tower's control room, allowing numerous [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] and [[ | While SPARTAN-117's and the Arbiter's groups managed to deactivate their two assigned barrier towers, Johnson's force ran into heavy Covenant resistance at the third tower, and Johnson's men were killed while Johnson was taken prisoner by the Covenant and taken to the Citadel itself.
