However, the plan cannot proceed before the present threat of the ''Enduring Conviction'' is addressed. Isabel outlines a plan to use a Forerunner [[particle cannon]] on the Ark's surface to fire on the [[assault carrier]], while she and [[Jerome-092]] will board the flagship through its [[gravity lift]]. Anders manages to activate the particle cannon, though it only disables the ''Enduring Conviction''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Energy shielding|shields]]. Jerome and Isabel then head to the gravity lift but their Pelican is shot down on the way. After UNSC forces besiege the Banished base at the gravity lift, Jerome successfully boards the lift, infiltrates the carrier, and inserts Isabel into its systems. She then fires the ship's ventral [[energy projector]] on the Banished troops below, feeding off of her rage over their massacre of the Ark personnel under her care. The beam soon penetrates the Ark's crust, rousing the installation's [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Swarms of the Sentinels descend upon the ''Enduring Conviction'', ramming themselves into the carrier in massive numbers. While Jerome fights off Banished Jiralhanae inside the ship, the Sentinels finally manage to bisect the ship, stopping in perfect synchrony once they have punched through. Jerome picks up Isabel and jumps off the ship toward the Ark. | However, the plan cannot proceed before the present threat of the ''Enduring Conviction'' is addressed.

As they assess their losses, both are surprised to witness [[Installation 09|a Halo]] rising from the Ark's Foundry. Atriox immediately orders 'Volir to send all his forces on the ring to prevent the humans from gaining a foothold. While the UNSC work to establish a presence on the new Halo, the Banished mount their own invasion there through access portals at the Ark's Foundry. After the UNSC forces destroy Banished bases sending troops to the Halo, they travel to the new ring as well through the access portal. Atriox contacts Captain Cutter and makes an offer to spare the crew of the ''Spirit of Fire'' — if they leave. Cutter staunchly refuses, pointing out that Atriox did not extend similar mercy to the personnel he slaughtered before their arrival. On the Halo, the UNSC must reach the [[control room]] and disarm the ring before it can reach human space, while the Banished continue to send in forces in an effort to gain control of the installation. The control room is shielded, but Anders manages to take control of an initially hostile [[Retriever Sentinel]] and use the machine to disable the energy barrier. | ||
