In the summer of [[2559]], the raid commenced. The blademaster led a team of Sangheili warriors while Minas and [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]] [[Zeretus]] led two other teams, both composed of choice [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]], and [[Unggoy]] soldiers. Each team rode in a separate [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Phantom]] dropship to where the ''Anodyne Spirit'' rested in a region of the Ark they had dubbed [[Mahsko]].

Displaying his masterful swordsmanship, 'Vagaduun's efforts were vital to the success of the mission. As Minas' team found the [[Forerunner]] device called "the Adytum" and extricated the shards from within it, the Sangheili and his team valiantly—and perhaps overconfidently—held off the Covenant defenders. 'Vagaduun and Minas were the only two survivors of their respective teams, the others having sacrificed themselves so that they might escape the keyship with the crystal. After they reunited with Zeretus and his team, that is exactly what they did. They evacuated in the same Phantoms that they had used to approach the vessel.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | Displaying his masterful swordsmanship, 'Vagaduun's efforts were vital to the success of the mission.
