Makee traveled to the [[23 Librae system]] in a {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} that appeared to be dead in the water to the {{UNSCShip|Gladius}}. Makee sent a distress signal over civilian emergency channels, claiming to be from [[Circumstance]] and that the Covenant had abandoned ship when the engines had died. Unarmed, Makee was brought aboard the ''Gladius'' where she had a [[Lekgolo]] colony that had accompanied her attack and kill the crew. On the bridge, Makee interrogated the commanding officer for where the keystone had been taken and where his home base was, but he refused to answer. Makee killed him with a small energy blade concealed beneath her fingernail, but Makee discovered much to her dismay that the ship's databases had been wiped as per the [[Cole Protocol]]. Contacting her ship using the ''Gladius's'' comm system, Makee reported on the failure to get anything from the ''Gladius'' and that they would continue on to Madrigal and stated that they would find where the keystone had been taken and where the Sacred Ring was. The UNSC picked up fragments of the transmission and, although electromagnetic scatter had corrupted the signal, AIs were able to partially reconstruct it. As Makee was speaking in [[Sangheili (language)|Sangheili]], it was mistakenly believed that she was most likely a Sangheili herself.{{Ref/Reuse|Emergence}} | Makee traveled to the [[23 Librae system]] in a {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}} that appeared to be dead in the water to the {{UNSCShip|Gladius}}.

On Madrigal, Makee and several Sangheili searched the cave where the keystone had resided with [[Luminary|Luminaries]], but one reported to Makee that the artifact was no longer on the planet which Makee was already aware of. However, the keystone had been active radiating from there which should be enough to lead the Covenant to the larger keystone. Makee ordered the warrior to keep looking and reminded him that they both shared the same enemy who could be destroyed with both keystones. Suddenly, the Lumaniaries detected a signal and, touching the wall where the Madrigal keystone had once sat, Makee was able to see where the second keystone was located.{{Ref/Film|Id= | On Madrigal, Makee and several Sangheili searched the cave where the keystone had resided with [[Luminary|Luminaries]], but one reported to Makee that the artifact was no longer on the planet which Makee was already aware of.

After the Covenant [[Battle of Eridanus II|successfully stole]] the second keystone, Makee had the Covenant deploy her in a [[Covenant drop pod|drop pod]] from a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} to the surface of [[Eridanus II]] in order to infiltrate the UNSC and find the Madrigal keystone, ordering them to "make it look good." As the battlecruiser left after deploying Makee's pod, it fired at the ground near the pod. Armed with a plasma pistol, [[John-117/Silver|John-117]] confronted a crying Makee who passed out. Dropping his weapon, John removed his helmet and looked at Makee with interest and confusion.{{Ref/Reuse| | After the Covenant [[Battle of Eridanus II|successfully stole]] the second keystone, Makee had the Covenant deploy her in a [[Covenant drop pod|drop pod]] from a {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} to the surface of [[Eridanus II]] in order to infiltrate the UNSC and find the Madrigal keystone, ordering them to "make it look good."

Due to her abusive treatment on [[Oban]] as a child and brainwashing from the [[Covenant]], Makee hated humanity in general and believed in the Covenant's Great Journey and her role in it as the "[[Reclaimer|Blessed One]]." Makee was ruthless to the point of slaughtering an entire ship full of people for answers and arrogant due to her position, going so far as to promise to bring the Hierarchs' the [[John-117/Silver|Demon's]] head if she were to ever meet him.{{Ref/Reuse|Emergence}} | Due to her abusive treatment on [[Oban]] as a child and brainwashing from the [[Covenant]], Makee hated humanity in general and believed in the Covenant's Great Journey and her role in it as the "[[Reclaimer|Blessed One]]."

However, once away from the Covenant and with John-117, Makee's devotion to the Covenant began to falter and she grew to genuinely care about John as a person, not just as a tool to complete her mission. Rather than lying, Makee gave John and the UNSC truthful information about [[Aspero system|where]] the Covenant were planning to take the keystones and revealed the Covenant's prophecy about their true purpose. It was only after Makee received treatment similar to when she was a child, due to the UNSC figuring out her deception, that Makee stopped faltering in her loyalty and returned to the Covenant.{{Ref/Film|Id=Solace|TV|Episode=[[Solace]]}} Even after Makee's deception was revealed, John believed her to have been truthful enough to take Makee's word on the Covenant's intentions for the keystones.{{Ref/Reuse|Transcendence}} | However, once away from the Covenant and with John-117, Makee's devotion to the Covenant began to falter and she grew to genuinely care about John as a person, not just as a tool to complete her mission.

However, Makee failed to recognize that she was just a useful tool to the Covenant who intended to dispose of her once Makee's role had been fulfilled. Even when given the chance to stop, Makee refused to listen, intent on fulfilling her destiny, ultimately leading to Makee's death.{{Ref/Reuse|Transcendence}} | However, Makee failed to recognize that she was just a useful tool to the Covenant who intended to dispose of her once Makee's role had been fulfilled.
