During the destruction event that shattered a portion of the ring at the hands of Cortana, Installation 07 itself was moved from the Ephsu system to an unknown location.{{Ref/Reuse|OI09}} UNSC survivors on the ring, who continued to mount a sporadic resistance against the Banished, had no way to call for reinforcements, but the Banished were similarly stranded even though they still had warships at their disposal. Over the next six months, the Banished, now led by War Chief [[Escharum]], Atriox's mentor and second-in-command, hunted what remained of UNSC forces and investigated the ring. At first demoralized by Atriox's loss and dismissive of his idea the ring could propel the Banished to glory, Escharum's faith in his protege was rekindled by the discovery of a repository of [[cylix]]es, one of which contained the genetic template of [[the Harbinger]], whom he set about reviving.{{Ref/Game|Id=Hi|Hi}} | During the destruction event that shattered a portion of the ring at the hands of Cortana, Installation 07 itself was moved from the Ephsu system to an unknown location.{{Ref/Reuse|OI09}} UNSC survivors on the ring, who continued to mount a sporadic resistance against the Banished, had no way to call for reinforcements, but the Banished were similarly stranded even though they still had warships at their disposal.

In May [[2560]], [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] was recovered by [[Fernando Esparza]], the pilot of [[Echo 216]], from where he was floating near the ring after having been thrown off of the ''Infinity'' by Atriox six months earlier. The Master Chief engaged the Banished across Installation 07's surface, rallying the surviving UNSC forces and eliminating Escharum and many of his top lieutenants. During the conflict, the Master Chief discovers that Cortana, whom he had been sent to Installation 07 to capture and destroy, had been the one to destroy part of the ring in order to keep Atriox and his forces from activating it, apparently killing Atriox in the process. The Banished release the Harbinger who was imprisoned on the ring for eons, but the Master Chief manages to kill her and continues his campaign against the occupying Banished forces. During this time, the Master Chief and the Weapon discover that time apparently moves differently on various parts of the ring, emerging from the [[Silent Auditorium]] three days after entering it despite only a much shorter time passing for them. | In May [[2560]], [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] was recovered by [[Fernando Esparza]], the pilot of [[Echo 216]], from where he was floating near the ring after having been thrown off of the ''Infinity'' by Atriox six months earlier.
