As the battle wore on, Stewardship, alternating between the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' on the ground and the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' in orbit, began to disregard the [[Sangheili]]'s authority. When he discovered a [[Gas Mine]] located in Threshold which was clearly [[Forerunner]] in origin, Stewardship sent an expeditionary force under [[Sesa 'Refumee]] and [[Loka 'Bandolee]] to investigate, an act which Thel 'Vadamee believed unwise because of the [[human]] presence. Two more teams were sent to secure a weapon's cache, both of which lost contact, leading a fourth to be sent. Thel finally sent a formal request to cease force misappropriation, which was ignored. The failure to secure a science facility resulted in the execution of [[Soha 'Rolamee]]. At this point, Thel 'Vadamee sent a single infantry unit to relieve the Prophet of Stewarship until the humans were eliminated, but Stewardship ordered them destroyed on final approach to the ''Ascendant Justice'', warning that any further affronts to his leadership would be met with equally lethal results. Thel finally assembled a force to retake the ''Ascendant Justice'' and physically relieve the Prophet, but Stewardship relocated to the ''Truth and Reconciliation'', leaving orders for the crew to arrest the Supreme Commander if he interfered with his consecration of the Ring, an order the crew ignored. Soon, however, [[Special Operations Commander of the Covenant|SpecOps Commander]] [[Rtas 'Vadum|Rtas 'Vadumee]] was recovered from his mission to the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'', revealing that the [[Flood]] was on the ring, leading Thel to initiate emergency quarantine response, priority alpha, meaning that Stewardship would not be able to leave the ring unless his ship was uninfected.<ref name="Rerelease" /> | As the battle wore on, Stewardship, alternating between the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' on the ground and the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' in orbit, began to disregard the [[Sangheili]]'s authority.

Stewardship was captured during [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]]'s raid on the ship.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', page 329</ref> | Stewardship was captured during [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]]'s raid on the ship.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''', page 329</ref> He made no attempt to hide his status as a Prophet from his captors, no doubt so that they would take him prisoner rather than kill him on the spot. He was able to send a rescue request ordering all available Covenant vessels to rescue him, but Thel denied the request as the ring was about to detonate.<ref name="Rerelease" /> The Prophet of Stewardship died when Lieutenant McKay disabled the ships main controls with a grenade, causing the ship to crash, thereby reducing the chance of spreading the Flood infestation. | ||
