===Lost on Sanghelios===

In March 2553, Phillips arrived on Sanghelios. He was greeted by the Arbiter in [[Vadam]] and requested a tour of their most ancient cities to which Thel approved. During his stay at [[Ontom]], Phillips was shown to be adept at figuring out the Sangheili toy and puzzle, the ''[[arum]]'', a skill which earned him respect and attention from many Sangheili.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 426''</ref> As he was solving arums for a crowd of Sangheili, he received a written warning from 'Telcam. Phillips then distracted his assigned bodyguard [[Cadan 'Ilmir]] with a half-finished arum and went to meet with 'Telcam. As 'Telcam and Phillips approached the entrance of the [[Temple of the Abiding Truth]], they were caught in the midst of a bombing orchestrated by [[Jiralhanae]] dissidents.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''pages 22-23''</ref> In the wake of the uprising, 'Telcam planned to launch his attack on the state of Vadam. Phillips was taken into the custody of the Servants of the Abiding Truth, who permitted him to explore the interior of the stone [[Forerunner]] structure.

As Phillips explored the temple, he noted that the micro-camera unit on his shirt, which contained a fragment of the AI [[Black-Box]], had been peppered with shrapnel. The placement of the unit had saved Phillips' life, but the AI fragment inside had taken damage and activated an emergency purge function, wiping important data and higher personality functions from the AI's memory. While the BB fragment was far less useful in this state, Phillips nonetheless was able to use it to aid in translating certain symbols inside the structure. The data they collected inside was soon speculated to be the locations and operational status of the remaining [[Halo Array|Halo installations]]. Phillips and the BB fragment eventually found their way to a room with a [[Slipspace translocation|translocation portal]]. Phillips unlocked the portal's activation system—similar in design to an arum—and was translocated to the portal's receiving end in [[Acroli]], roughly 80 kilometers from Ontom.
