While Anders enters the control room to disable the Halo's firing systems and deploy a communications beacon, the UNSC must hold off waves of Banished attacks before she can complete her work. Interfacing with the control room's [[core]], Anders manages to cordon off a section of the ring's landmass housing the majority of the Banished troops and launch it into space. The UNSC forces then evacuate from the ring, but Anders has no time to make it out of the control room before the Halo enters a [[slipspace portal]] toward its destination — the [[Soell system]], the original site of Installation 04. Anders assures Captain Cutter that she intends to return as soon as possible, perhaps only in several weeks, before her signal is cut off. Cutter resolves to continue the fight against the Banished on the Ark before Anders returns, while Atriox, furious about his defeat, looks upon a massing of his forces. | While Anders enters the control room to disable the Halo's firing systems and deploy a communications beacon, the UNSC must hold off waves of Banished attacks before she can complete her work.

On its way to the Soell system, the Halo unexpectedly drops out of slipspace. An [[elevator]] descends to the control room's central chamber and Anders returns to the surface, where she is confronted by a [[Guardian]]. | On its way to the Soell system, the Halo unexpectedly drops out of slipspace.
