Meanwhile aboard the ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]'', which is parked on a moon of the Record for repairs, [[Sali 'Nyon]] mobilizes his rebellion aboard the ship. He takes [[Ayit 'Sevi]]'s advice to raid Jul's vault in the ship full of [[Forerunner]] artifacts from [[Requiem]]. His followers cause panic aboard the ship, and Jul's forces on the ''Breath'' call for their field scouts at the moon's swamps to return to the ship to help them. However, the surviving Kig-Yar of the two that [[Gabriel Thorne|Thorne]] fought refuses to return, instead out to hunt the Spartan for the death of his friend. Thorne opens fire on the Jackal but gets stuck in the swamp, almost allowing the Jackal to kill him. He manages to shoot its head, but it falls on him and he continues to sink the swamp. | Meanwhile aboard the ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]'', which is parked on a moon of the Record for repairs, [[Sali 'Nyon]] mobilizes his rebellion aboard the ship.
