In October 2559, the detachment of the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] led by [[Castor]] arrived on the Ark in the midst of a [[Battle for Translocation portal Epsilon|three-way battle]] for control of the slipspace portal between the UNSC, Banished and [[Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant]]. After crashing, Castor formed an alliance with [[Prelate]] [[Dhas Bhasvod]], the leader of the Covenant loyalists. The Forerunner {{Class|Archeon|ancilla}} [[Intrepid Eye]], who was believed to have been destroyed during [[Operation: BIRD IN HAND]], revealed herself and resumed her guise as "the Oracle" in order to manipulate Castor for her own ends. Really, the ancilla intended to fire the [[Halo Array]] - in turn destroying the [[Domain]] and rendering [[Cortana]] vulnerable to Intrepid Eye. The ancilla then intended to use the Ark's resources to reseed the galaxy and tailor humanity over the course of hundreds of millennia to be ready to take up the [[Mantle of Responsibility]].{{Citation needed}} | In October 2559, the detachment of the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] led by [[Castor]] arrived on the Ark in the midst of a [[Battle for Translocation portal Epsilon|three-way battle]] for control of the slipspace portal between the UNSC, Banished and [[Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant]].

The combined Keepers/Covenant alliance set out to one of the installation's [[Cartographer#Installation 00|Cartographers]] in order to find a new facility to fire the Halo Array from, the [[Installation 00 Citadel|original Citadel]] having been destroyed in the midst of the upheaval caused by the Ark's repairs. [[Veta Lopis]] left behind a message capsule in an attempt to alert ''[[Romeo-008]]'', a reconnaissance Pelican that was observing the battle from nearby, to the threat. However, the message was instead found by [[Pavium]] and [[Voridus]] who rallied the [[Clan of the Long Shields]] to stop Castor. At the Cartographer, Lopis' Reclaimer status was used to get the location of the [[Epsilon Clarion]] facility, the only one of the Ark's [[Clarion]] facilities that was either accessible or operable, from the facility's monitor. During this time, Intrepid Eye was able to confirm Lopis' identity as an ONI spy. This reveal lead to Castor, [[blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]] and Bhasvod using the [[Ferret]]s and a captured Banished data pad to draw their two enemies into a trap where they would fight each other, | The combined Keepers/Covenant alliance set out to one of the installation's [[Cartographer#Installation 00|Cartographers]] in order to find a new facility to fire the Halo Array from, the [[Installation 00 Citadel|original Citadel]] having been destroyed in the midst of the upheaval caused by the Ark's repairs.

Before the Keepers and Covenant could leave the Cartographer, the Banished launched a brief attack on their landed ships, causing the [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s to join the battle as well. Ultimately, Bhasvod's command Phantom was crippled and had to be abandoned along with the Covenant's Ghosts and half of their air support - while the Banished suffered no losses. Recognizing that their cover had been blown, the Ferrets got ''Romeo-008'' to extract them. U, the trap worked and [[Vulture]]s from the ''Spirit of Fire'' destroyed nine of the ten Seraphs belonging to the Clan of the Long Shields. A short time later, the Banished forces suffered [[Ambush in the Maze Rift|an ambush]] by the Covenant's three Seraphs in the [[Maze Rift]], but the remaining Banished Seraph was able to take them out and stop the ambush.{{Citation needed}} | Before the Keepers and Covenant could leave the Cartographer, the Banished launched a brief attack on their landed ships, causing the [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s to join the battle as well.
