Noble Team fled for the elevators, hoping to escape to a fallout bunker underneath the building, while Carter informed the Spartans that they were being redeployed to [[Sword Base]] for a torch and burn operation. The elevator carrying Jun-A266, Carter-A259, and Emile-A239 arrived first and the three Spartans sprinted across an open area to get to the bunker. The elevator carrying [[Catherine-B320]] and SPARTAN-B312 arrived seconds later. As they moved to join the first three, a [[Sangheili]] sniper in a Phantom shot Catherine-B320 in the back of the head with a needle rifle. The round punched straight through helmet and head, exiting through her visor and killing her instantly. Noble Six took the fallen Spartan's pistol and returned fire, soon joined by the other three Spartans, but the Phantom simply flew off, and Noble Six dragged Kat's lifeless body into the fallout shelter as the doors sealed. Three days later, the survivors emerged from the bunker into the ruins of the blasted city, and were extracted by Pelican.<ref name="New Alexandria"/> | Noble Team fled for the elevators, hoping to escape to a fallout bunker underneath the building, while Carter informed the Spartans that they were being redeployed to [[Sword Base]] for a torch and burn operation.

UNSC forces desperately attempted to locate any survivors, successfully extracting the remaining members of NOBLE team from their hideout. NOBLE team then proceeded to SWORD Base for a torch-and-burn operation. | |||
