When the [[John-117|Master Chief]] returned to Earth, Kilo 023 was responsible for extracting him, [[Thel 'Vadam]], and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] from the jungle dam, [[A2]]. Hocus used the ship's heavy weapons loadout to destroy two [[Covenant Loyalist]] [[Phantoms]] in the process. Shortly after their return to Crow's Nest, the base was attacked by the Covenant. Kilo 023's escape with wounded soldiers was delayed by [[Jump Pack Brute]]s, until the Master Chief arrived to fight them off.

Kilo 023 was among the Pelicans aboard the [[UNSC Frigate|Frigate]] ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'' when that ship traveled through a [[slipspace]] [[portal]] to Installation 00. Kilo 023, with Johnson, the Master Chief and several [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]] aboard, successfully landed on the Ark. The ship served as backup while the [[Marines]] attempted to locate the Ark's [[Cartographer]].

Once the [[Prophet of Truth]] was located, Kilo 023 joined the strike force of Pelicans and [[Covenant Separatists|Separatist]] Phantoms sent to lower the [[Citadel|Citadel's]] protective shield. Encountering Heavy AA near the shoreline, Kilo 023's wing man was shot down, killing its crew and taking Kilo 023's [[Warthog]] with it, though Kilo 23 itself landed safely, later assisting the Master Chief as he made his way to the last tower.

The status of Kilo 023 is unknown after the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. It is presumed to have returned to [[Earth]] aboard the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' along with the rest of the surviving [[Human]]s after John-117 recovered [[Cortana]].
