The UNSC Marine force on the surface destroyed the Scarab, but during an investigation of the site, Anders and Forge were attacked by the [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]]. When Forge was about to be killed, Anders gave herself up as a hostage to save the Sergeant's life. Forge persuaded Cutter to mount a rescue mission. | ||

The ''Spirit of Fire'' followed Anders' signal to a [[Shield World 0459|previously unknown shield world]].

Meanwhile, she was imprisoned on top of the [[Apex Site]], where the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] intended to use her status as a potential Reclaimer to activate the [[Unidentified Forerunner starship|Forerunner ships]]. Anders used a [[Teleporter|teleportation pad]] to escape to the surface while the Arbiter and the [[Sangheili]] [[Sangheili Honor Guardsmen|Honor Guardsmen]] were distracted by the majesty of the ships. Shortly after she teleported, she was threatened by a number of [[Flood]] [[Flood infection form|infection forms]], and only narrowly rescued by Forge. The latter's Pelican was shot down immediately after, but both were successfully evacuated by Pelican after a brief overland trek. | ||
Anders devised a plan to use the ''Spirit of Fire's'' [[Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|FTL reactor]] to cause the [[Astroengineering#Stars|artificial sun]] inside the Shield World to go [[supernova]], thus destroying the ships (and any other Forerunner technology) before the Covenant could make use of them.

Forge and [[Red Team]] encountered complications, in the form of Sangheili intervention, and Forge stayed behind to manually overload the reactor. After narrowly escaping the exploding Shield World, the ''Spirit of Fire'' set a course for the nearest UNSC forces under conventional power. Two weeks later, Cutter forced Anders into [[Cryo-chamber|cryo-stasis]], stating that she got them all out of there alive. As the pod closed, Anders reminded the Captain that not all of them had survived.<ref>'''[[Halo Wars]]'''</ref> | ||
