The Battle

Summary

Arriving on the Silent Cartographer island, SPARTAN-II John-117 and two squads of marines were ordered by Captain Keyes to capture the facility holding the Cartographer so that they could locate Halo's control room. The soldiers landed on a Covenant-controlled beach and quickly captured before proceeding further in-land.

The LZ

As the Pelican is nearing its target, Cortana tells the Chief about the Silent Cartographer on Echo 419, the Marines then hear Carols voice, Bravo 022's Marines then open fire on the Covenant Grunts before landing.

The Beach

Sergeant Stacker then calls the Marines to Go Go Go! The Grunts respond by firing their Needlers and Grenades. The Chief then makes the Grunts retreat by killing the Minor Elites, the Grunts are all killed.

The Jackals

After the Grunts and their Elite leaders are killed, three Elites flee to the Jackals at the back of the beach, the last Elite runs around the Marines, finally being killed by the Chief sniping him with a pistol.
