Kait reveals her mother's Locust necklace to Marcus.įour months later, Kait and Del go to an Outsider village located in the skeleton of the Riftworm to try to convince them to join the COG. While the Swarm forces are annihilated, the Hammer of Dawn malfunctions and begins firing wildly, severely injuring JD. As the Swarm threatens to destroy the evacuation convoy, JD orders Baird to fire the Hammer of Dawn prematurely. It is revealed during the battle that JD, Del, and their former squadmate Fahz Chutani had previously been deployed in Settlement 2 to quell a riot, which resulted in civilian deaths and prompted JD and Del to go AWOL, and that it was JD who gave Fahz the order to open fire on the civilians, causing Del and Kait to lose their trust in him. First Minister Jinn receives word that Settlement 2 is under attack by the Swarm and sends JD's squad to assist in the evacuation. After doing this, they return to the COG capital, New Ephyra, where Baird informs them that he still cannot locate the other satellites. Reformed as the new Delta Squad, they travel to the ruins of Azura at Damon Baird's request in order to launch a Hammer of Dawn satellite and restore the Hammer of Dawn network.
