While under fire from a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraith]], a [[Forerunner]] [[Gatherer]] appears behind the Spartans of [[Team Black]], and opens fire on them with a powerful energy weapon. The Spartans return fire, but fail to do any damage to the machine. The Covenant also notice the interruption, but another Gatherer appears and abducts the Wraith's [[Unggoy]] gunner [[Jubub]] and a [[Mgalekgolo]]. The Gatherers then destroy the Wraith and proceed to capture [[Thon 'Talamee]]. Meanwhile, the other Gatherer captures [[Black-One]]. After this, the machines proceed to leave. | ||
[[Black-Three]] and [[Victor-101|Four]] give chase, and find that the Gatherers are headed for the same structure the Spartans observed while still on the ship. They barely make it inside, where they encounter several [[Sentinel]]s. Iona then notes that the structure's virtual and physical architecture is entirely foreign, not matching any human or Covenant designs. | [[Black-Three]] and [[Victor-101|Four]] give chase, and find that the Gatherers are headed for the same structure the Spartans observed while still on the ship.

Deep inside the complex, the Gatherers drop Reff, Black-One, Jubub, and a Mgalekgolo to small holding cells. Reff begins to console Black-One, stating that the Forerunners have chosen her to embark on the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]] and offers to preach the Covenant religion's teachings to her, which she politely declines. 686 Ebullient Prism, the installation's [[Monitor]], then appears and introduces itself and its function to the captives. Black-One demands that they are released, to which the Monitor responds that their assistance is not required to be voluntary, dissecting the Mgalekgolo in one of the cells as an example. The Monitor then tells the rest of the captives that once the inspection and cataloging of the dissected creature is complete, it will return its attention to them. | Deep inside the complex, the Gatherers drop Reff, Black-One, Jubub, and a Mgalekgolo to small holding cells.
