[[File:HW Arbiter talks to Regret.png|thumb|250px|right|The Arbiter discusses plans with the Prophet of Regret on [[Trove]]]]

Inside Etran Harborage, 'Moramee and the Prophet of Regret both continued to attempt to activate the dormant fleet of Forerunner dreadnoughts at the [[Apex Site]] within the shield world. During this operation, 'Moramee was concerned about why he was not fulfilling his task of destroying humanity, when he should command all their forces for a frontal assault; Regret stated that they need the Forerunner ships to increase the size of their fleets, so that the Covenant would not have to dedicate all their forces for the war effort and thus leave themselves defenseless. After attempts to interface with the Forerunner technology failed, 'Moramee was sent on a mission to capture Professor [[Ellen Anders]] at the ongoing Battle for Arcadia by the Prophet of Regret, as he believed she would have ability and knowledge of how to interface with Forerunner structures that the Covenant did not.<ref name="scarab">''Halo Wars'', campaign level, ''[[Scarab (level)|Scarab]]''</ref> Following Regret's commands, 'Moramee returned to Arcadia and ambushed Anders while she was documenting the remains of a [[Type-29 Scarab]]. While the Arbiter attempted to capture Anders, [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]] intervened. The Arbiter dropped Anders and charged at Forge. Forge attempted to kill the Sangheili with his [[M6C magnum]], but it had little effect against the [[Arbiter body armor|Arbiter's armor]]. 'Moramee attacked the Marine with his [[energy sword]]s but before he could kill him, Anders surrendered herself to save Forge's life. Satisfied, the Arbiter grabbed Anders and escaped in a [[Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit dropship]] to an awaiting ship seconds before [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] [[Red Team]] arrived.<ref name="anders">''Halo Wars'', campaign level, ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref>

Forge and Red Team returned to ''Spirit of Fire'' and pursued 'Moramee's vessel through [[slipstream space]].{{Ref/Reuse|anders}} 'Moramee reached the shield world first and imprisoned her in a [[stasis field]] at the Apex. Shortly after, a Spirit [[dropship]] delivered the Prophet of Regret to the Apex. While the two commented on Anders' frail appearance, a [[Sangheili Zealot]] warned the Arbiter of ''Spirit of Fire'''s arrival. Angered, 'Moramee punched the Zealot several feet backwards and ordered Regret's Honor Guard to return him to [[High Charity]],<ref name="shield world">''Halo Wars'', campaign level, ''[[Shield World (level)|Shield World]]''</ref> arranging for [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] [[Avitus]] to accompany Regret to rob the Jiralhanae of any glory in the oncoming battle.{{Ref/Reuse|cf wocl}} Then, he ordered for his fleet to intercept the human ship and destroy it.{{Ref/Reuse|shield world}} Although the {{Pattern|Sinaris|heavy destroyer}} ''[[Proclamation's Tithe]]'' intercepted and attacked ''Spirit of Fire'', the human ship was able to escape.<ref>''Halo Wars'', campaign level, ''[[Repairs]]''</ref> Some time later, the Arbiter returned to Anders and released her from the stasis field. 'Moramee forced her to interface with the Forerunner controls and begin activating the Forerunner fleet. While the Arbiter began to charismatically preach about the activation of the dreadnoughts to his fellow Sangheili, Anders managed to escape from 'Moramee through the Apex's [[Teleporter|translocation system]] and alerted the UNSC of the Covenant's intentions.{{Ref/Reuse|beachhead}}
