After fighting off many Prometheans and Covenant, who have joined forces, he finds Commander Thomas Lasky, Spartan Commander Palmer and scattered groups of Marines. John manages to escape the Didact and makes his way to Infinity, which had entered the planet. The unknown figure reveals himself to be The Didact, and handily defeats John-117 before declaring that his people, The Forerunners themselves, are returning to the Galaxy after thousands of years, and he remarks on how Humanity must still be weak, as the Covenant do not answer to Humanity and therefore are still unworthy of the Mantle. After attempting to stop the signal the sphere comes close to John's location where part of the sphere comes out of the bottom. Fighting their way to the center of the Satellite the pair discover a giant spherical object - the source of the signal. After discovering the ship is going to enter the planet, Cortana attempts to warn them away but is still unable to get through. After the second tower is downed the full signal of the Infinity is received. After taking down the first tower it is revealed the Covenant is very interested in finding something inside the core. After defeating several groups of the unknown enemy, the only intelligence Cortana is able to get on them is the word "Promethean," and that they appear to be more advanced combat AIs than Sentinels. Cortana suggests taking these jamming towers down to receive the whole signal. A satellite near the center of the planet is blocking the signal, where two jamming towers are boosting the signal blocking device's power. They find that the mysterious signal is being bounced off of a tower near the planet's core, Cortana opens a portal as close as possible to the core just as a large number of a new type of foe appears.Īfter being teleported closer to the signal it is revealed the signal is from UNSC Infinity asking for help.

However, upon reaching the pods, a Covenant cruiser collides with the Dawn, tearing through the escape pods. While making their way to the escape pods, Cortana starts acting erratically. The already weakened Forward Unto Dawn starts to disintegrate as it passes into the planet. Immediately after the cruiser is destroyed, a passage into the planet opens and activates a gravity well that begins to pull in every ship. Cortana notices the nearest cruiser has its shields down and suggests firing a tactical nuke at it. As John-117 fights his way through the Covenant boarders, it is revealed that it isn't one rogue Covenant ship on a salvage operation, but an entire fleet orbiting a Forerunner world. After progressing through part of the ship the assailant turns out to be the Jul 'Mdama's Covenant, to which John-117 expresses concern as he believed that humanity had a cease fire with the Sangheili. Cortana activates John-117's cryopod as an unknown assailant boards the ship.
