After reactivating the Ark's Sentinel defense network,{{Ref/Reuse|The Archive}} the Proto-Gravemind was discovered by the Banished. By this point, it was close to becoming a full-fledged Gravemind which the Banished knew from the stories would be virtually unstoppable. Aided by the reactivated Sentinels, the Banished attacked the Proto-Gravemind in an effort to destroy the creature before a new Gravemind could be formed. With the help of a [[Retriever Sentinel]] summoned when the Banished cleaned out a nearby Sentinel lock, the Proto-Gravemind was slain, preventing the rise of a new Gravemind. The Banished and the Ark's Sentinels were then finally able to contain the Flood outbreak.<ref name="Manifestation">'''[[Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare]]''', campaign level ''[[Manifestation]]''</ref> | After reactivating the Ark's Sentinel defense network,{{Ref/Reuse|The Archive}} the Proto-Gravemind was discovered by the Banished.

In November 2559, Spartan [[Olympia Vale]] recalled the Gravemind's account of Forerunner treachery after she and [[Keely Iyuska]] realized that the fugitives on [[Netherop]] were surviving [[Precursor]]s. In Vale's opinion, the Gravemind had been rationalizing an act of vengeance so horrific that it would have been evil no matter how the Forerunners had betrayed their creators if it was even true. Vale's mind lingered on the words of the Gravemind which had been embedded in the intelligence summary as an audio file and which had been so powerful that they remained lodged in her memory to this day: "all that is created will suffer. All will be born in suffering, endless grayness will be their lot. All creation will tailor to failure and pain..." Considering the collective events that had come to define the galaxy's history up to that point, Vale couldn't help but wonder if this invocation by one of the Forerunners' creators had been woven into the structure of the universe itself.{{Ref/Novel|Id=Out17|17}} | In November 2559, Spartan [[Olympia Vale]] recalled the Gravemind's account of Forerunner treachery after she and [[Keely Iyuska]] realized that the fugitives on [[Netherop]] were surviving [[Precursor]]s.
