Later that year, Banished forces [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|raided]] the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[keyship]] ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' which had remained parked on the Ark ever since the [[Battle of Installation 00]] nearly eight years before. Having recovered the access codes from High Charity's systems after scouring the Flood from the ruined city, the Banished sought the three shards of the [[Menachite Forerunner crystal|Slipspace crystal]] that Truth had used to open the Portal at Voi during the [[Battle for Earth]]. To their surprise, the Banished came into conflict with surviving [[Covenant loyalists]], but they nevertheless completed their mission at the cost of heavy casualties.{{Ref/ | Later that year, Banished forces [[Raid on Anodyne Spirit|raided]] the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s [[keyship]] ''[[Anodyne Spirit]]'' which had remained parked on the Ark ever since the [[Battle of Installation 00]] nearly eight years before.

After recovering the crystal shards, Atriox somehow managed to make contact with [[Escharum]] in the Milky Way galaxy. Atriox ordered Escharum to the Banished and their allied forces to [[Reach]] and search for and activate the [[Menachite portal complex]]. Once the slipsspace portal was opened, Atriox would use the crystal shards to connect it to the Ark, allowing him to return to the Milky Way and lead a massive Banished force back to take the Ark once and for all. By following [[Blue Team]] during [[Operation: WOLFE|their own mission]], the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] were able to locate the portal complex and activate it with the help of one of [[Castor]]'s [[Ferret|human servants]] acting as a [[Reclaimer]]. With a connection established, Atriox was able to fly through the portal in a [[Banished Lich]] where he revealed that he no longer intended to lead reinforcements to the Ark but to depart with the Banished to attend to a "greater purpose" of some kind while leaving the thousands of troops already on the Ark to hold it.{{Ref/Reuse|SoR}} | After recovering the crystal shards, Atriox somehow managed to make contact with [[Escharum]] in the Milky Way galaxy.
