As the battle wore on, Stewardship, alternating between the [[CCS-class battlecruiser|battlecruiser]] ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' near the surface and the [[DDS-class carrier|carrier]] ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' in orbit, began to disregard the [[Sangheili]]'s authority. When the Covenant discovered a [[Forerunner]] [[Threshold gas mine|gas mine]] orbiting the nearby gas giant [[Threshold]], the Prophet sent an expeditionary force under [[Sesa 'Refumee]] and [[Loka 'Bandolee]] to investigate, an act which Thel 'Vadamee believed unwise because he believed that all forces should be concentrated on the [[human]] presence on Installation 04. Two more teams were sent to secure [[Flood containment facility|an alleged weapons cache]], both of which lost contact, leading to the deployment of a fourth.<ref name="Rerelease"/> When the [[Flood]] was released, Stewardship had [[Soha 'Rolamee]] executed for his failure to secure the containment facility on the ring. He spoke with 'Zamamee through a [[holography|hologram]] and spoke with him about his first attempt on the Spartan's life, which had failed. Stewardship, realizing the threat of John-117, asked what 'Zamamee's plan was to eliminate the Spartan, and upon hearing it, granted him permission to pursue the Spartan. Before the meeting ended, he threatened 'Zamamee with 'Rolamee's fate if he failed again.<ref name="tf197">'''Halo: The Flood''', ''pages 197-199'' (2010 edition)</ref>

'Vadamee finally sent a formal request to Stewardship to cease his constant force misappropriation, though the message was ignored. At this point the Supreme Commander sent a single infantry unit to relieve the Prophet of Stewardship until the humans were eliminated, but Stewardship ordered them destroyed on final approach to ''Ascendant Justice'', warning that any further affronts to his leadership would be met with equally lethal results. 'Vadamee finally assembled a force to retake ''Ascendant Justice'' and physically relieve the Prophet himself, but Stewardship relocated to ''Truth and Reconciliation'', leaving orders for the crew to arrest the Supreme Commander if he interfered with his consecration of the ring, an order the crew ignored when 'Vadamee traveled to ''Ascendant Justice''. Soon, however, [[Special Operations Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadum]]ee was recovered from his mission to the [[agricultural support ship]] ''[[Infinite Succor]]'', revealing that the Flood was on the ring. This prompted 'Vadamee to initiate emergency quarantine response, priority alpha, meaning that Stewardship would not be able to leave the ring unless his ship remained uninfected.<ref name="Rerelease"/>
