Back at Wendosa, Blue Team and Lopis travel to the Falcon's crash site on the [[Briones Ridge]], but are intercepted by Castor and several of his Jiralhanae intending to retrieve the ancilla. As the Spartans engage the Jiralhanae, Castor searches the Falcon's remains and finds Fred who is unable to move as his armor's mechanical joints had locked up during the crash. Lopis, furious at the deaths of her friends aboard the craft as well as Fred's apparent death, attacks Castor and wounds the Dokab. Castor drops Fred, causing a violent rockslide, which Lopis survives by riding on top of Fred's armor. As Lopis recovers at the bottom of the hill, the battalion's [[Alpha Company (717th)|Alpha Company]] arrives at their location and helps fight off the surviving Jiralhanae. Lopis later awakens at the Vitality Center, where she is greeted by Nelson who informs her that the Keepers have been fought off and are now retreating. Blue Team, including Fred, survived the battle and are now recovering elsewhere at the Vitality Center, while the ancilla was recovered. With access to Smoothers again, the Gamma Spartan-IIIs are properly functioning. Nelson tells her that her entire team was killed either during the assault on the center or during the Falcon crash. Furious upon learning that Minister Casille is using the unfortunate events for his own means to gain power and become President of Gao, Lopis agrees to strike a deal with Nelson; in exchange for never speaking of the ancilla, Huragok, or Forerunner installation on Gao, as well as pinning the murders on a Keeper Jiralhanae, Lopis requests permission to take scrapings from the Spartan-IIIs' [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor|SPI armor]] and Intrepid Eye's physical form to determine who the true murderer is for personal satisfaction. Nelson reluctantly agrees and brings her to the location of the armor and ancilla at the [[Portable Spartan Support Module]] near the Vitality Center. While she collects her scrapings, Intrepid Eye recovers and intends to escape. However, Wendell contacts her and informs her that humanity—the species chosen by the Forerunners to [[Reclaimer|reclaim]] the [[Mantle of Responsibility]]—merely wishes to use her to advance human knowledge and technology, before allowing her to locate the ecumene. The ancilla considers the option, but learns that Casille has just taken office as president and issued an order for Gao to attack the UNSC. Disappointed that the species selected to be the Reclaimers appear to be so inherently violent, she decides that humanity is not worthy of the Mantle and destroys Wendell. | Back at Wendosa, Blue Team and Lopis travel to the Falcon's crash site on the [[Briones Ridge]], but are intercepted by Castor and several of his Jiralhanae intending to retrieve the ancilla.

Intrepid Eye takes control of the PSSM and begins to kill the humans inside through a variety of methods. As Nelson and Lopis attempt to escape, Intrepid Eye slams an exterior hatch down on Nelson, killing the commander, and traps Lopis inside an [[airlock]] which she then begins to fill with poisonous gas. However, Fred, Ash, and Olivia arrive and free Lopis. The ancilla attacks the humans and kills [[Ryan|one of the module guards]], but Intrepid Eye's inspection drone is damaged when [[A. Gallo|the other guard]] shoots the drone in response. Blue Team, Lopis, and Roams Alone regroup, while the rest of the UNSC is evacuating off the planet before Gao forces attack. The Spartans decide to recover Wendell's data chip—which now covertly hosts Intrepid Eye—and then retrieve a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] to destroy the Covert Support Base to prevent it from being under Casille's control. As Blue Team, Lopis, and Roams Alone flee from pursuing Gao [[Wyvern]]s in [[M12 Warthog]]s, Lopis concludes that the killer is in fact Intrepid Eye rather than Mark. While Lopis protects Roams Alone and Intrepid Eye's inspection drone with Ash and Olivia for support, the rest of Blue Team recovers the data chip and the nuke. The Spartans manage to destroy two of the Wyverns, while the third one retreats; however, Roams Alone leaves the humans and departs to study Gao's native wildlife. Unable to retrieve the Huragok in the heat of the battle, the humans reluctantly let him go. Lopis, Ash, and Olivia regroup with Fred who has recovered Wendell's data chip and inserts it into his helmet. Just as Lopis explains that she believes that Intrepid Eye had taken over Wendell, the ancilla takes control of Fred's armor and attempts to kill Lopis. However, Lopis activates a small charge she had placed into the armor's [[MJOLNIR power supply control unit|power supply unit]] earlier in case the murderer was a Spartan, leaving the armor powerless. | Intrepid Eye takes control of the PSSM and begins to kill the humans inside through a variety of methods.

As the Wyverns deploy [[Gao battle-jumpers]] to engage them, the Spartans and Lopis hold off their attackers until Blue Team regroups, now with the HAVOK. As they escape in Warthogs, Fred sheds his armor and Kelly extracts the data chip carrying the ancilla. Fleeing the pursing Wyverns in the Warthogs, the Spartans head towards the Well of Echoes, planning to drop the HAVOK inside and destroy the installation. Meanwhile, Intrepid Eye becomes resigned to her fate of helping the UEG and humanity as a whole, realizing that the inheritors of the Mantle were more resourceful than she initially realized. However, she decides to eventually escape captivity to contact the rest of the ecumene. Aboard the Warthogs, Lopis receives a call from Casille. The newly elected president offers her the position of Minister of Protection if she helps his Wyverns locate the Spartans to "rescue" her from her UNSC "captors"; Casille realizes that Lopis is hardly a hostage, a fact that she is aware of. Before ending the call, Lopis misleads Casille into believing that the Spartans were traveling to the nearby [[Singing Grottos]], causing most of the Wyverns to change course. Soon, the humans arrive at the Well of Echoes, just as an Owl insertion craft—{{UNSCShip|Silent Claw}}—arrives at their position to extract them. The humans board the craft, where they are greeted by Rear Admiral [[Serin Osman]]. Osman offers Lopis the opportunity to place Intrepid Eye's data chip on the nuke before it detonates to make the ancilla face justice for her crimes, but Lopis realizes that the chip was not the one containing the ancilla and denies her offer. | As the Wyverns deploy [[Gao battle-jumpers]] to engage them, the Spartans and Lopis hold off their attackers until Blue Team regroups, now with the HAVOK.
