Aboard High Charity, Regret's death had major political upheaval, as the Sangheili were punished by their failure to protect the Prophet of Regret. The Jiralhanae were assigned to replace them as [[Honor Guard]]s, and [[Chieftain of the Jiralhanae]] [[Tartarus]] was given to the task of retrieving the Index from the Library. Tartarus sent numerous waves of Jiralhanae-led Covenant infantry to storm the Sentinel Wall, however after all failed to breach the outer wall, Thel 'Vadamee, the Arbiter of the Covenant, was personally ordered by the Prophets [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] and [[Prophet of Mercy|Mercy]] to journey to the surface of the ring and retrieve the [[Sacred Icon]].

Dropped directly to the wall by Tartarus' personal [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]] transport, the Arbiter encountered a small number of surviving [[Unggoy]] and [[Kig-Yar]] from the earlier assault. After battling through numerous Forerunner constructs to reach the control center for the Containment Shield, the Arbiter deactivated the shield, boarding a gondola to exit the outer wall. The inner wall quickly became overrun with [[Flood]] from the nearby Quarantine Zone it was designed to contain, and the UNSC platoon was caught unprepared.

Spread throughout the wall in small fireteams and completely unaware of the nature of enemy they were facing, most of the platoon was quickly assimilated by the parasite, proceeding to take up arms against their former comrades. Additionally, the local Sentinel forces became hostile to the surviving Marines, likely due to the immediate presence of the Flood.
