On [[2560#May|May 28 2560]],''Echo 216'' was still present near [[Installation 07]], where it had been adrift in a large debris field for the past six months. Nearly powerless, the ship drifted into a collision with John-117, and the pilot was able to use what little power was left in the ship's internal power source to bring the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN's]] [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR (GEN3)]] armor system online. The armor's [[fusion reactor]] in turn almost instantly recharged the Pelican's depleted batteries, restoring functioning to ''Echo 216's'' internal lights and systems. Following this event, an attack generated electrical discharges throughout the Pelican, knocking out the power, and enveloped it in a bright light. The pilot sealed himself in the Pelican's cockpit while John-117 opened the troop bay's external door so that he could go on the offensive. The Master Chief discovered the attack to come from the [[Banished dreadnought]] ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]'', attempting to capture ''Echo-216'' for salvage and boarded the vessel which caught the Pelican in a stasis beam. ''Echo 216'' was drawn into a hanger bay where Banished forces attempted to board the ship. Unable to disable the stasis beam, the Master Chief overloaded the dreadnaught's engines which released the Pelican. With the ''Ghost of Gbraakon'' self-destructing around them, the Master Chief raced back to the Pelican while ''Echo 216's'' batteries recharged. The explosions scared off the Banished attempting to board the Pelican, but the hanger's shield went down before power was restored, sucking ''Echo 216'' into the vacuum along with the other contents of the hanger bay. Once power was restored, Esparza returned and picked up the Master Chief who had been sucked out into space as well.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Warship Gbraakon|Hi|Ringfall|Warship Gbraakon}} | On [[2560#May|May 28 2560]], ''Echo 216'' was still present near [[Installation 07]], where it had been adrift in a large debris field for the past six months.

After reboarding the Pelican, the Master Chief's armor linked to its systems, using ''Echo 216's'' sensors to scan the nearby space and to locate the source of a transmission on the shattered Halo ring. Against Esparza's objections, the Master Chief had the Pelican's autopilot take them to a sublevel of the damaged ring where Esparza was forced to retreat from approaching Banished ships, but kept in radio contact with the Spartan before losing his signal.{{Ref/Quest|Id=Foundation|Hi|Ringfall|[[Foundation (Halo Infinite)|Foundation]]}} When the Master Chief's signal was reacquired near the wreckage of the {{UNSCShip|Mortal Reverie}}, Esparza informed the Spartan that he would have to clear him somewhere to land. The Master Chief cleared the Banished from [[Outpost Tremonius (location)|Outpost Tremonius]], allowing ''Echo 216'' to safely land. The Master Chief revealed that he had recovered [[the Weapon]] to continue the mission to locate Cortana and link up with the scattered UNSC personnel on the ring.
