The AI teleported the opposing parties to different locations, and gave them a morality test based on a hypothetical scenario: Whether or not to kill and harvest a sentient race that could provide a defense against the Flood. Although Jul personally thought it would be best to harvest the race, he suspected the correct answer was to spare it. Halsey, however, answered that she would sacrifice the species. Glassman, on the other hand, chose to spare the species. The AI told both parties separately that they had given the "correct" answer. It then asked each party whether it should incinerate the "losing" party or merely keep them contained. Jul began to ask the AI to strip the Spartans of their armor for study before incinerating them, but before the AI could respond, Halsey remotely disabled the construct, releasing everyone from confinement. | The AI teleported the opposing parties to different locations, and gave them a morality test based on a hypothetical scenario: Whether or not to kill and harvest a sentient race that could provide a defense against the Flood.

Halsey entered the Record alone, while Jul waited outside. During this time, Jul grew impatient and felt Halsey needed to be reminded that she worked for him. Halsey, however, decided to terminate their partnership and activated the defense systems, causing the nearby Sentinels to attack Jul and his followers. | Halsey entered the Record alone, while Jul waited outside. During this time, Jul grew impatient and felt Halsey needed to be reminded that she worked for him. Halsey, however, decided to terminate their partnership and activated the defense systems, causing the nearby Sentinels to attack Jul and his followers. After defending themselves from the attacking Sentinels who then weakened in their attack, Jul decided that this was the moment to bring the ''Song of Retribution'' into position to glass the Absolute Record. Jul then gave the order, and in so doing, had the ''Song of Retribution'' destroy the Absolute Record, and all that it contained. Getting back on the ''Song'', he ordered a slipspace departure. Unexpectedly, an incoming Phantom held the unconscious Dr. Catherine Halsey in it, delaying the departure by a few minutes. | ||
Some time later, with the ''Breath of Annihilation'' now under Sali 'Nyon's control, Jul decided to retake his ship. However, it ended up in a stalement with the two Assault Carriers battling each other. Presumably, the ''Song of Retribution'' survived and then made course for Kamchatka. | |||
