At some point, the ship was stolen by [[Avu Med 'Telcam]], the Bishop and head of the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]]. 'Telcam intended to use the ''Inquisitor'' to his advantage during the [[Sangheili civil war]], against the forces loyal to [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]]. 'Telcam had entrusted the ship to a group of [[Kig-Yar]], led by [[T'vaoan]] [[piracy|pirate]] [[Sav Fel]].<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 329''</ref><ref name="Tor">[http://www.tor.com/stories/2013/07/halo-mortal-dictata-excerpt#more '''Tor.com''' ''Halo: Mortal Dictata (Excerpt) by Karen Traviss'']</ref> However, the Kig-Yar decided to sell the ship for themselves and Fel took the ''Inquisitor'' to a barren star system for safekeeping. Upon being informed of this, the [[ONI]] team [[Kilo-Five]] began working to take back the ''Inquisitor'' for the Arbiter.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 84''</ref> | ||
Sav Fel fled to the [[human]] colony of [[Venezia]] and began negotiating with [[insurrectionist]] [[Staffan Sentzke]], who originally planned to use the ship to glass [[Earth]].<ref name="Tor"/> As payment for the ship, Fel demanded [[particle beam rifle]]s, [[dropship]]s, and [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistols]]. Sentzke stated that he would first need to see the ship and test its ventral beam. Fel told him the ship was in another system and that he planned to show him something extra when he saw the ship.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 59-64''</ref> Sav Fel transported Staffan and his son, [[Edvin Sentzke|Edvin]], to his ship in a [[Kig-Yar shuttle|shuttle]] and then took | Sav Fel fled to the [[human]] colony of [[Venezia]] and began negotiating with [[insurrectionist]] [[Staffan Sentzke]], who originally planned to use the ship to glass [[Earth]].<ref name="Tor"/> As payment for the ship, Fel demanded [[particle beam rifle]]s, [[dropship]]s, and [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistols]].

At Staffan's request, Fel agreed to demonstrate the battlecruiser's [[energy projector]] on a desolate world. When the ship arrived at its destination, [[Shaps III]], the vessel's eccentric Huragok caretaker, [[Sometimes Sinks]], told Sav Fel that he couldn't use the ship's energy projectors since there were [[Forerunner]] artifacts on the surface.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 125''</ref> Fel ignored the Huragok and began to glass the artifacts. Then, he let Staffan have a chance to do the same. Not wanting to upset the Huragok, Sentzke allowed Sinks to aim the beam elsewhere to avoid damaging any more ruins and then proceeded to glass a portion of the planet. Satisfied with the ship, Sentzke completed the deal with Fel, keeping Sinks as the ship's chief engineer.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''pages 127-133''</ref> | At Staffan's request, Fel agreed to demonstrate the battlecruiser's [[energy projector]] on a desolate world.

Shortly afterward, Kilo-Five were able to locate ''Pious Inquisitor'' | Shipmistress Von and her crew captured Sav Fel, who led them to the location of ''Pious Inquisitor''. Von's Kig-Yar boarded the ship, but Sometimes Sinks continued to hinder their attempts to access its vital systems and made a slipspace transition to a different location, uncoupling ''Inquisitor'' from the Kig-Yar ship and killing several of the pirates. Shortly afterward, Kilo-Five were able to locate ''Pious Inquisitor''. Sometimes Sinks had placed the ship in lockdown and only followed Sentzke's orders, forcing Kilo-Five to take the captured Staffan along as they entered the battlecruiser.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 397''</ref> With the rest of Kilo-Five advancing toward the bridge, Chol Von set the ship's [[plasma torpedo]]es to detonate, which would cause the ''Inquisitor'' to violently [[self-destruct]]. While Kilo-Five evacuated to their own dropships, Sentzke took a [[Type-25 Spirit|Spirit]] from the [[shuttle bay]], intending to use the Covenant dropship to escape.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 445''</ref> | ||
Von and her remaining crew then made their way for a shuttle bay in order to escape. Kilo-Five watched the ship explode from a safe distance, while Staffan and Sinks escaped in the Spirit, unbeknownst to the others.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 485''</ref> | Von and her remaining crew then made their way for a shuttle bay in order to escape.
