The Banished came into conflict with remnants of the [[Dhas Bhasvod's Covenant]] who had survived inside the keyship, but nevertheless managed to retrieve the shards of the [[Menachite Forerunner crystal]] that was collected by [[Tartarus]]' forces and presented to the Prophet of Truth following the [[Massacre at Eridanus Secundus]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | ||

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}} | ||
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, thus buying time for the allied forces to complete their mission. | 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.
