Infinity sends the Master Chief and Gypsy Company to neutralize the gravity well keeping them on Requiem.

Captain Del Rio surveys Requiem's surface from the window of UNSC Infinity's bridge. Two Broadsword fighters pass overhead, disappearing along the horizon. He gazes around the bridge before walking over to the holodeck. The hologram depicts a Pelican flying through a desert canyon. Del Rio proceeds to address the ground teams.

Andrew Del Rio: Infinity to Gypsy Company.

Meanwhile Gypsy Company's Pelicans, flying through the canyon.

Del Rio (COM): The air corridor to the gravity well is blocked by a network of particle cannons.

Scene transitions to the interior of the Pelican. The Master Chief, Marines, and two SPARTAN-IVs observe a holographic display of Del Rio as he speaks.

Del Rio (COM): Infinity's shields are still down. Open the lane for us to move up and provide air support.
Master Chief: Captain, what's Force Recon's assessment of the terrain?
Del Rio (COM): (annoyed) I know you've been off the field for awhile, Master Chief, but this is a blowthrough op. Sending in recon would just slow us down.

An image of a particle cannon appears next to Del Rio.

Del Rio (COM): Telemetry indicates that the particle cannons are being controlled from a command post southwest of our position. Roll on that target, and neutralize those guns. We'll meet on the other side and take the gravity well. Infinity out.

Del Rio ends the transmission.

Cortana: I don't know about you, but I usually like a little more 'intel' with my intel...
Master Chief: We'll make it work.

The Pelican prepares to land, and John turns to the door as it opens. The Marines and Spartan-IVs form up behind him.

They got onboard the Mammoth as the Pelicans were patrolling. Master Chief grabbed his jetpack as Del Rio com appeared

Del Rio (COM): Gypsy Company, this is Captain Del Rio. The board is green. Let's shut that gravity well so we can go home. Good hunting. Infinity out.

The Mammoth is now on the move. As Pelican almost Target it was a terrible mistake as they were in the kill box They were shot down by the Cannon.

Lasky (COM): Infinity! Pelicans down!
Del Rio (COM): Get to the crash site and retrieve that target designator, Gypsy. You've got no chance of clearing those guns without it.
Lasky (COM): All teams, we've got Covenant squads digging in on the ridgeline. Weapons free, people.

They fired at will at the Covenant Forces as Master Chief manages to retrieve the Target Designator and targets at Phantom then it was shot down and so did Cannon. He went back to mammoth. After neutralizing the covenant and cannons They were ambushed by the Covenant Force. But Master Chief and Marines fought back as they were completely neutralized.

Lasky (COM): Thanks, Chief. It was getting a bit dicey there for a minute.
Lasky (COM): All hands, form up on us.
Del Rio (COM): Lasky, this is Infinity. Status.
Lasky: Mammoth's in pretty bad shape, sir. She'll make it to the objectives as long as nobody starts throwing rocks at us.
Del Rio (COM): Not a chance we can take. I'm sending teams out to pull some of their fire off you so you can make it to the gravity well.
Lasky: Roger that, sir. Gypsy, let's move.
Del Rio (COM): Shadow Company. Castle Company. Put some pressure on those other particle cannons.
Castle Leader (COM): Castle reading five by five. On station, ready to assist.
Shadow Leader (COM): Shadow Actual to Infinity. Encountering enemy air! Significant EOF closer to the emplacements.
