When John-117 located Truth at The Ark's [[Citadel (Forerunner)|control room]], she dispatched several Pelican Dropships to deactivate the shield protecting the control room. When Sergeant Johnson was captured by Truth's forces in the course of this battle, Keyes asked the Chief how close he was to stopping Truth. | ||
Realizing that he and Thel 'Vadam would never get there in time to stop Truth, Keyes decided to stall Truth herself. She crashed her Pelican at Truth's position, intending to rescue Johnson. She exited her Pelican with an [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|M90A Shotgun]] and an [[M6G Pistol]]. She was able to kill two Brutes, and wounded (some fatally) several others but ultimately found herself outnumbered. Johnson demanded that she kill them both in order to halt Truth's plans. Keyes, unwilling to harm Johnson, hesitated. As she paused, the Prophet of Truth shot her in the back seven times with a [[Spiker]], killing her. Her death greatly disheartened and demoralized Johnson, who was subsequently used to activate the Ark. Truth commented on Keyes' unwillingness to kill Johnson, claiming that humans were weak which was why the Forerunners had left them behind. | Realizing that he and Thel 'Vadam would never get there in time to stop Truth, Keyes decided to stall Truth herself.

Due to her unexpected move to follow Regret's ship into Slipspace, she was described by [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] [[Richard Lash]] as "The ballsiest officer in the Fleet".

In-game, Keyes appears as a [[non-playable character]] and is invulnerable to damage. When [[melee]]d, she won't bleed, she'll only bleed when shot at or when caught in a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|grenade]] explosion. If you do either of the aforementioned for a period of time in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' level Cairo Station she will moan. If you shoot her for some time or melee her in ''[[Halo 3]]'' she will scream hysterically. | |||
