Back in the caves, the Spartans, Lopis, and Roams Alone encounter Intrepid Eye, who has switched hosts from her [[maintenance skin]] to an [[inspection drone]] to appear less threatening. Out of options, the ancilla has decided to surrender herself to the UNSC in hopes that they bring her back to their base, where she can escape and operate their [[Superluminal communications|interstellar communications device]] to contact the rest of the ecumene for assistance. While Fred attempts to capture her, Ash and Mark fight Keeper forces up ahead while Lopis and Olivia rest. The two are approached by Zoyas who holds Olivia at gunpoint. Zoyas informs Lopis that she is a friend of Casille and wishes to capture the ancilla; while Olivia begins to think that Lopis is affiliated with the minister and his radical allies, Lopis is unaware of Casille's schemes and does not know who Zoyas is. Fred attaches a [[scramble grenade]] to Intrepid Eye, which prevents her from operating properly as it scrambles her systems every half second while also causing a blinding light throughout the cavern. With Lopis and Zoyas blinded from the light, Olivia kills the latter and disarms Lopis. While Olivia no longer trusts Lopis, Fred more or less believes Lopis and insists that they do not have time to discuss the issue, and the humans depart the cavern with the ancilla and Roams Alone. | Back in the caves, the Spartans, Lopis, and Roams Alone encounter Intrepid Eye, who has switched hosts from her [[maintenance skin]] to an [[inspection drone]] to appear less threatening.

Finally exiting the caverns at Wendosa, Fred and the Spartans learn that most of the battalion at the village is holed up in [[Hotel Wendosa]] while the rest of the Blue Team is attempting to disrupt Keeper operations. As they attempt to rendezvous with the rest of Blue Team, Roams Alone removes the scrambler from Intrepid Eye and the two escape. Meanwhile, having learned that Fred had found Intrepid Eye and returned to Wendosa, Nelson orders to last Falcon to travel to the village and extract the Spartan and ancilla and bring them to the Vitality Center. At Wendosa, Intrepid Eye overrides UNSC, Gao, and Keeper communications and prevents anyone from communicating with each other. While Fred pursues the ancilla and Huragok while avoiding sniper fire from Castor, Olivia and Ash reinforce him and they eventually capture Intrepid Eye with another scrambler again. Fred spots Mark holding a [[combat knife]] to [[Nguyen|a Marine sergeant]]'s throat; without his Smoothers, Mark has become more paranoid and aggressive. Fred eventually coaxes Mark into releasing the Marine, who then informs Fred that Nelson is evacuating him to the Vitality Center, much to his reluctance. While en route to the [[landing zone]], the Spartans and Lopis are attacked by a charging force of Jiralhanae. Kelly, Linda, Tom, and Lucy arrive, and together the Spartans and Marines are able to kill most of the attackers. Fred soon arrives at the LZ with Intrepid Eye and departs on the Falcon, which is filled with evacuating Ministry of Protection personnel of Lopis' team. As it takes off, the aircraft is shot down by Keeper forces and crashes nearby. Blue Team minus Fred regroups with Lopis and Roams Alone, and they resolve to travel to the Falcon crash site to recover the ancilla and search for survivors. In orbit around Gao, Casille is aboard ''Esmeralda'' monitoring the UNSC task force. In attempt to aid their forces on Gao's surface, the UNSC sends Pelican and [[Owl]] insertion craft with troops aboard. Casille orders his fleet of patrol corvettes to destroy the UNSC dropships, knowing that the UNSC is aware that if they respond by attacking the corvettes, they will instigate another insurrection on Gao. With the UNSC deterred from reinforcing the battalion, Casille declares his intentions to replace Aponte as president with the Cabinet's support. | Finally exiting the caverns at Wendosa, Fred and the Spartans learn that most of the battalion at the village is holed up in [[Hotel Wendosa]] while the rest of the Blue Team is attempting to disrupt Keeper operations.

Back at Wendosa, Blue Team and Lopis travel to the Falcon's crash site on the [[Briones Ridge]], but are intercepted by Castor and several of his Jiralhanae intending to retrieve the ancilla. As the Spartans engage the Jiralhanae, Castor searches the Falcon's remains and finds Fred who is unable to move as his armor's mechanical joints had locked up during the crash. Lopis, furious at the deaths of her friends aboard the craft as well as Fred's apparent death, attacks Castor and wounds the Dokab. Castor drops Fred, causing a violent rockslide, which Lopis survives by riding on top of Fred's armor. As Lopis recovers at the bottom of the hill, the battalion's [[Alpha Company (717th)|Alpha Company]] arrives at their location and helps fight off the surviving Jiralhanae. Lopis later awakens at the Vitality Center, where she is greeted by Nelson who informs her that the Keepers have been fought off and are now retreating. Blue Team, including Fred, survived the battle and are now recovering elsewhere at the Vitality Center, while the ancilla was recovered. With access to Smoothers again, the Gamma Spartan-IIIs are properly functioning. Nelson tells her that her entire team was killed either during the assault on the center or during the Falcon crash. Furious upon learning that Minister Casille is using the unfortunate events for his own means to gain power and become President of Gao, Lopis agrees to strike a deal with Nelson; in exchange for never speaking of the ancilla, Huragok, or Forerunner installation on Gao, as well as pinning the murders on a Keeper Jiralhanae, Lopis requests permission to take scrapings from the Spartan-IIIs' [[Semi-Powered Infiltration armor|SPI armor]] and Intrepid Eye's physical form to determine who the true murderer is for personal satisfaction. Nelson reluctantly agrees and brings her to the location of the armor and ancilla at the [[Portable Spartan Support Module]] near the Vitality Center. While she collects her scrapings, Intrepid Eye recovers and intends to escape. However, Wendell contacts her and informs her that humanity—the species chosen by the Forerunners to [[Reclaimer|reclaim]] the [[Mantle of Responsibility]]—merely wishes to use her to advance human knowledge and technology, before allowing her to locate the ecumene. The ancilla considers the option, but learns that Casille has just taken office as president and issued an order for Gao to attack the UNSC. Disappointed that the species selected to be the Reclaimers appear to be so inherently violent, she decides that humanity is not worthy of the Mantle and destroys Wendell. | Back at Wendosa, Blue Team and Lopis travel to the Falcon's crash site on the [[Briones Ridge]], but are intercepted by Castor and several of his Jiralhanae intending to retrieve the ancilla.
