There, numerous Marines of the [[2nd Orbital Drop Shock Trooper Battalion|2nd ODST Battalion]] track SPARTAN-117's descent.

*The [[Prophet of Truth]]'s Dreadnought lands in the middle of [[The Artifact]] near [[Voi]], [[Kenya]].

*The UNSC Marine Corps is able to retake the Tsavo Highway, and it serves for a staging ground for the battalion that would retake Voi.

*[[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Sir Terrence Hood]] declares that it is imperative that SPARTAN-117's attack force retake Voi. Lord Hood's plan is that he will launch a low-level aerial strike on Truth's fleet above the Forerunner artifact, and prevent him from activating the presumed Ark. However, a Loyalist anti-aircraft emplacement stationed at Voi prevent Hood fleet from advancing; SPARTAN-117 is to retake Voi and destroy the anti-aircraft emplacement to allow Hood to attack Truth's fleet, and prevent him from activating the Ark. | *[[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood|Sir Terrence Hood]] declares that it is imperative that SPARTAN-117's attack force retake Voi.

*The joint UNSC/Separatist force press on, still giving their all to getting to the crash site. They eventually break through, fighting past [[Flood]]. With the remaining forces giving cover to the Chief, he enters its Flood created carcass and retrieves what is believed to be Cortana. After the ground forces are evacuated safely the Elites begin to glass the immediate area, annihilating the Flood and eliminating any chance of further Flood infection, effectively ending the [[Battle of Voi]]. | *The joint UNSC/Separatist force press on, still giving their all to getting to the crash site.

*The Separatists on arrival immediately engaged the Loyalist fleet stationed to protect the Prophet while the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' deployed [[ODST|Marine Shock Troopers]] to locate Truth. Despite being outnumbered 3-to-1 in space, the Separatist fleet made short work of the Loyalist space forces, likely due to the Elites' superior tactical skills. The Covenant Loyalist Fleet had been destroyed and the only Loyalists left alive were Truth and his forces on the Ark. [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]], now working with the UNSC-Separatist Alliance, led SPARTAN-117 and the Arbiter to the Ark's Cartographer where they pinpointed the Prophet's location. By then Truth had already holed himself in a secure facility near the core of the Ark and had activated a large barrier around the entire core to ward off the attacking forces. | *The Separatists on arrival immediately engaged the Loyalist fleet stationed to protect the Prophet while the ''[[Forward Unto Dawn]]'' deployed [[ODST|Marine Shock Troopers]] to locate Truth.

*The UNSC ground forces, along with Separatist reinforcements, assaulted three emitter pylons that powered a small section of the barrier. When the defending forces were eliminated and the pylons shut down, the ''Shadow of Intent'' began its attack on Truth. At the same time the former Covenant city ship ''[[High Charity]]'' arrived from slipspace and crashed on the Ark. Debris, spread from the city-ship, heavily damaged the ''Shadow of Intent'' and helped spread a new Flood infestation on the Ark as a means to stop Truth and to be safe from the Halo activation array. Without any heavy support, SPARTAN-117 and the Arbiter personally attacked the facility where Truth was to activate the Halo installations. | *The UNSC ground forces, along with Separatist reinforcements, assaulted three emitter pylons that powered a small section of the barrier.
