After [[Oska 'Meln|'Kinsa]] led a rebellion against the [[Ussan]]s and claimed several sections of [[the Refuge]] for himself in [[2553]], it became apparent that the colony's failing repellent field generators needed repairing. After realizing that the supplies needed to repair the generators were located in [[Section Two]], which was controlled by 'Kinsa's revived [['Greftus Faction]], [[Kaidon]] [[Bal'Tol 'Xellus]] organized a raiding party to retrieve the supplies.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''page 261'' (Google Play edition)</ref> V'ornik 'Gred was chosen for this mission, along with [[C'tenz]] and [[Torren]]—despite V'ornik's and Torren's lack of experience with the pressure suits required for the mission.{{Ref/Reuse|bc270}}

Manning a maintenance vehicle, the three cut into the side of Section Two and entered through the breached hull. As they made their way towards an [[airlock]], it was suddenly opened by 'Kinsa's followers. As the Ussans attempted to engage the hostiles, Torren was killed while C'tenz was captured. V'ornik retreated and attempted to escape aboard the maintenance vehicle. However, two of 'Kinsa's followers damaged its engines with their sidearms and the vehicle was sent spiraling uncontrollably through space. Though the mission failed, Bal'Tol challenged 'Kinsa to a [[floatfighting]] match to determine which faction would take control of the Refuge.{{Ref/Reuse|bc270}}

Meanwhile, V'ornik's maintenance vehicle was detected by the crew of ''[[Journey's Sustenance]]'', a supply ship of the [[Covenant]] that had fled the [[Great Schism]] with several Sangheili, [[San'Shyuum]] [[Zo Resken]], and [[Huragok]] [[Sluggish Drifter]]. The vehicle was pulled into the ship's freight bay, where V'ornik exited it as the ship's crew watched. Speaking [[Sangheili language|Old Sangheili]], he was barely understandable to the other Sangheili members of the ship. Suddenly, the maintenance vehicle became unstable and they were forced to retreat from the bay as [[Shipmaster]] [[D'ero 'S'bud]] ejected the craft by decompressing the bay seconds before it exploded. V'ornik was given [[translation software]] from the ship's crew to make communication easier. Upon learning that D'ero was from [[Sanghelios]], he asked to be taken there, though D'ero was reluctant to trust the strange Sangheili. After they revealed that Sluggish Drifter was capable of repairing nearly anything, V'ornik agreed to take them to the Refuge.{{Ref/Reuse|bc274}} Taking the supply ship's maintenance shuttle to travel to the Refuge, V'ornik led most of the crew of ''Journey's Sustenance'' into the Refuge. V'ornik convinced acting kaidon [[Xelq 'Tylk]] to allow them to enter the Refuge.{{Ref/Reuse|bc279}} V'ornik took Sluggish Drifter to [[Enduring Bias]], the damaged [[monitor]] of the colony that had been disabled in an accident centuries ago. Sluggish Drifter was then able to repair Enduring Bias for the Ussans. The monitor came across Bal'Tol and intervened in the floatfight match between the Ussans and 'Kinsa's followers, killing 'Kinsa and [[V'urm 'Kerdeck]]. Meanwhile, V'ornik freed C'tenz from his restraints.<ref>'''Halo: Broken Circle''', ''pages 285-286'' (Google Play edition)</ref>

According to [[monitor]] [[Enduring Bias]], V'ornik was a very capable individual as he knew that risks should be taken when there is no logical alternative.{{Ref/Reuse|bc285}} V'ornik was amazed the first time he saw [[Zo Resken]], as he had never seen a [[San'Shyuum]] before. Upon learning that [[Shipmaster]] [[D'ero 'S'bud]] was born on [[Sanghelios]], he was astonished and hesitantly touched his shoulder, apparently to ensure that he was real. When [[Huragok]] [[Sluggish Drifter]] approached V'ornik with the intentions to repair his damaged pressure suit, V'ornik was frightened by the species and drew his weapon. Although he accepted Sluggish Drifter as an ally after learning that he could repair the damaged parts of his home.{{Ref/Reuse|bc274}} Bal'Tol noted that V'ornik was quite proud of helping the Refuge by working with the former members of the [[Covenant]].{{Ref/Reuse|bc293}}
