The Covenant Cruiser, Occupant Zeppelins, and In Amber Clad all make it through, along with the wreckage of a few buildings. Inside of In Amber Clad, Keyes nearly gets thrown off her Chair. "Report!" she yelled, "Both engines punched to Zero, we're drifting." asked one Pilot, "Archer pods are closed, I'll need to re-key the system." asked the second Pilot. "Do it, and find out where we are!" asked Keyes again. "Sorry for the quick jump, Cooke. You still in one piece?" asked Commander Keyes over the radio. "Yeah, we're good, thanks to these airlocks and infinite fuel." replied Commander Cooke, as he sat up in the pilot chair, the Beta Suiter stands at the window looking out into space. "You guys?" he replied. "We're fine?" asked Cortana. "Ma'am, theres an object. Coming into view now." asked the first Pilot.
Commander Keyes looks at the so-called object, "Cortana, what exactly am I looking at?" the UNSC-Occupant fleet heads towards it, then object is revealed to be something that Miranda Keyes' father searched for: Halo. "That...is another Halo?" explained Cortana as the Covenant Cruiser approaches it. Johnson nearly swallowed his Cigar, he coughs and yells, "Say what!" Keyes' looks directly at it, "So this is what my father found. I thought Halo was some sort of Super Weapon." Cortana explains it to her once again, "It is, if activated, this ring will cause destruction on a Galactic Scale." Master Chief and the Beta Suiter look at the ring. "I want all the information you've got on the First Halo, Schematics, topography, whatever! I dont care if we have the Clearence or not!" Keyes said in a angry-like mood. "Yes Ma'am?" replied Cortana.
"Where's our target?" asked Keyes as she questions one of the pilots. "The enemy ship has stopped above the ring, Ma'am, we're going to past right over it." replied the Pilot. "Perfect, given what we know about this ring, it's even more important why we capture the Prophet of Regret. Find out why he came to Earth, why he came here. Chief, take first platoon, hard drop, secure a landing zone. Johnson, load up two flights of Pelicans and follow them in." planned Commander Keyes. "Aye aye, Ma'am." replied Johnson. "Cooke, have your Point Man give us Air-to-Ground Support from above with your Blimp's defense systems." planned Keyes again, "Copy that?" replied Commander Cooke. "Until I can move and fight, I'm gonna keep a low profile. Once you leave the ship, you're on your own." replied Keyes.
Johnson comes out of his Pod, bangs on the Chief's pod to get his attention. "Understood." The Spartan replied, "Over the Target, in five..." one of the Pilots count. "Hang on to your Helmet!" asked Cortana, as all Pods were released. They fly down above the ring, followed by Commander Cooke's Zepplin. A Grunt and Krone Guard were joking, then looked up and noticed the approaching pods. The Krone Guard immediately jumped on the Anti-Air gun and fired at them, being assissted by other Grunts on Shades. The Parachutes of the Helljumper pods activate, and land on the ground. John steps out, grabs an SMG, "Could we possibly make any more noise?" joked Cortana. John grabs a Rocket Launcher aswell. "I guess so."
