After | After travelling to the [[Installation 00|Ark]] aboard the ''Anodyne Spirit'', the [[Prophet of Truth]] had landed the [[Keyship]] amidst a Forerunner city perched atop an immense basalt sea stack in a region that the Banished would later dub [[Mahsko]]. The massive rock column was one of [[seven]] that arched toward a distant peninsula. When the Prophet left to initiate the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]] from the Ark's [[Installation 00 Citadel|control room]], he instructed some of the vessel's compliment to stay behind and defend it against intruders. Many believed the Keyship to have been lost in the [[Battle of Installation 00|battle]] that ravaged the installation.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | ||
Some time after the [[Flood]] [[Outbreak on Installation 00|outbreak]] on the Ark, Atriox decided that he would need to return to the [[Milky Way]]. However, this would be difficult since the [[Portal at Voi|portal]] to [[Earth]] had closed almost a year earlier and the [[Enduring Conviction|only ship]] equipped with a [[slipspace drive]] that he had brought had been destroyed by [[Jerome-092|a]] [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]]. There was another way, however. Rumor had it that there was a [[Menachite portal complex|portal structure]] hidden on Reach that connected to the Ark. To open this portal, Atriox would need a Forerunner [[slipspace flake]]. Thankfully, [[Tartarus]] had recovered shards of [[Menachite Forerunner crystal|the flake]] originally found on Reach and presented them to the Prophet of Truth, who transferred them to the ''Anodyne Spirit'' when it left [[High Charity]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=SOR3|HSoR|Chapter=3}} To retrieve these shards from the Keyship, Atriox dispatched three strike teams, each in their own [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Phantom|Phantom dropship]]. [[Chieftain]] [[Minas]] would lead his team, as well as coordinating the efforts of the other two teams, led [[Blademaster]] [[Okro 'Vagaduun]], and [[Jiralhanae Captain|Captain]] [[Zeretus]].{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}} | Some time after the [[Flood]] [[Outbreak on Installation 00|outbreak]] on the Ark, Atriox decided that he would need to return to the [[Milky Way]].
