Voridus and his party - consisting of [[Sangheili Ranger]]s and [[Jiralhanae Jumper]] - descended a lift into the Archive, intending on re-activating the Sentinel network. The facility's defensive systems were still active, with damaging lasers and many chasms requiring use the [[jump pack]] systems brought by the brutes. The party soon encountered a [[Flood spawner form]] and hundreds of pod infectors, signifying the Flood had already managed to infest the structure. Voridus was able to make use of the automated defenses to lead the Flood into traps, and made use of his [[Infusion gel]] to quickly take down more Flood forms. Voridus eventually managed to reach a [[teleporter]], which he was able to use to bring in more reinforcements, including an [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Honor Guardsman]]. The guard was equipped with [[active camouflage]], which he was able to use to bypass some Flood and reactivate a minor defensive system. The group eventually encountered a deactivated [[light bridge]], which the jump brutes were able to cross and reach the control panel. The troops were once again beset upon by the Flood while waiting for the bridge to activate, before once again using the Honor Guard to sneak past some Flood and activate more defenses. The Banished eventually managed to activate a quarantine protocol with one problem - the quarantine would kill them along with the Flood, unless they were able to eradicate the Flood in the area within two minutes.<ref name="TA">''Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare'', campaign level [[The Archive]]</ref> | Voridus and his party - consisting of [[Sangheili Ranger]]s and [[Jiralhanae Jumper|Jiralhanae Jumpers]] - descended a lift into the Archive, intending on re-activating the Sentinel network.

The Banished would narrowly manage to avoid being caught in the quarantine measures, and begin making their way to the final control room. They encountered increasing resistance by both the Forerunner defenses and the Flood, who had begun sending Abominations at the group. They were successful in reaching the control mechanisms, which they realised had been infested by the Flood already, as if the parasite knew of the importance of the mechanism. Flood growth blocked the mechanism from working, requiring the Banished troops to begin clearing out the Flood and resetting the system. After defending for several minutes, the Sentinel network was successfully brought back online. However, another Banished outpost reported in that they were being overrun by a massive Flood form. Thankfully, Pavium was also able to report that Atriox was sending reinforcements.<ref name="TA"/> | The Banished would narrowly manage to avoid being caught in the quarantine measures, and begin making their way to the final control room.
