At some point between [[2557|July 2557]] and [[2558|February 2558]] the artifact was acquired by [[Jul 'Mdama]] and his [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|followers]] before Requiem was sent into its [[Epoloch system|sun]].{{Ref/Reuse|HE13}}

In attempt to retrieve the other half of the [[Janus Key]] from the [[UNSC]], Jul 'Mdama's forces [[battle of Oban|attacked]] the human colony of [[Oban]], luring the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} to his location. After the battle ''Infinity'' made a [[slipspace]] jump towards [[Galileo II]] base. However the ''Infinity'' immediately exited slipspace directly into an [[asteroid]] field. The ''Infinity'' jumped back into slipspace but was forced back out a quarter of a kilometer of her last position. Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] explained to 'Mdama that the artifact allowed her to communicate with the ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Forerunner components, including her [[slipspace drive]], and stranded them in the system. 'Mdama told Halsey his lieutenants called for her head after the failed attack on Oban, but Halsey explained to him that the attack was only a bold move to attract the ''Infinity'' near the artifact in order to be able to connect the artifact and ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s drive. Halsey then explained to him that they will not need to invade the ship to retrieve the other half of the Janus Key, as it will be ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crew itself who will give it to them.{{Ref/Reuse|HE13}}
