Halo: The Fall of Reach, Invasion, Issue 3, by Marvel Comics
Fred and the rest of Red Team heading down to the surface of Reach to assist in defending Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331. During the descent, their Pelican is damaged and forced to crash-land near the generator station. Meanwhile, John's team arrive at Gamma station. As the Battle of Reach continues in orbit, many UNSC ships including the Musashi and the Herodotus are destroyed by a massive Covenant warship. Under Keyes' command the Pillar of Autumn
uses its MAC and over 500 Archer missiles to drop the ship's shields
and obliterate it. Back on Gamma station, James is lost in the vacuum of
space after being struck by a plasma bolt just as they blow an entrance
inside the facility. The issue ends with John and Linda going to
destroy the Circumference's NAV data and finding the station overrun with Covenant troops.
