The mission's team—Usze, N'tho, [[Kola 'Baoth]], [[Zon 'Vadum]], Vale, Richards, Holt, Spartan [[Frank Kodiak]], [[Luther Mann]], [[Henry Lamb]], ten [[UNSC Marines]], and Drifts—left the ''Mayhem'' and began venturing towards the Ark's [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]] to stop the Halo Array's activation. After encountering peaceful [[olfmeri]], the group was attacked by a pack of [[Morolaath|blind wolves]]. The group remained silent and still at Vale's insistence, and the blind wolves moved on.<ref name="hitd140">'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''pages 140-150'' (Google Play edition)</ref> However, they were promptly attacked by [[chaefka]]. During the skirmish, Vale was knocked unconscious and was subjected to the psychotropic effect generated by an agent released by a chaefka which caused her to leave the area with the animal.<ref name="hitd152">'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''pages 152-155'' (Google Play edition)</ref> When Vale's disappearance was noticed, Richards ordered Usze, Holt, and Lamb to track her down by following her footprints in the snow leading towards the center of the Ark while the rest of the team continued towards the Citadel.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''pages 160-161'' (Google Play edition)</ref> While searching for Vale, the three lost communications with the rest of the team and increased snowfall prevented them from following Vale's footprints. The group resolved to continue to the Citadel, hoping to either encounter Vale or the rest of the team. Along their journey, they were attacked by four [[armiger]] constructs. The armigers attempted to kill the group by rolling trees and rocks down mountains towards them. Having barely avoided the attacks, the three chose to make a stand against the armigers and destroyed the constructs. More armigers arrived at their location via slipspace portals, though Usze and Holt, with some help from Lamb, managed to destroy most of the armigers, while the surviving constructs fled. However, the armiger's attack further displaced the group from tracking down Vale's location.<ref name="hitd176">'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''pages 176-187'' (Google Play edition)</ref> As they continued towards the Citadel, the three were suddenly attacked by a mobile, [[carnivorous plant]], which forced them to take cover in a nearby cave up on a cliffside. However, communications were enabled between both groups by Tragic Solitude, allowing Holt to contact Spartan Kodiak and request for support. Kodiak arrived and engaged the plant, allowing Usze to sneak behind it and kill it with his energy sword.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''pages 206-214'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | The mission's team—Usze, N'tho, [[Kola 'Baoth]], [[Zon 'Vadum]], Vale, Richards, Holt, Spartan [[Frank Kodiak]], [[Luther Mann]], [[Henry Lamb]], ten [[UNSC Marines]], and Drifts—left the ''Mayhem'' and began venturing towards the Ark's [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]] to stop the Halo Array's activation.

Eventually, both groups met up at the entrance of the Citadel and continued on together. Inside the structure, Mann shut down the firing sequence, but the team was promptly attacked by armigers. As the constructs arrived at their position in waves, Usze, Mann, Lamb, Drifts, and Kola retreated down an elevator shaft, while the rest of the team escaped through a portal created by an Armiger.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''pages 218-225'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Finding themselves within the Citadel's inner tunnels, the group discovered its damaged, central power station. While Drifts worked on repairing the station, Lamb was killed by a Sentinel, which was immediately destroyed by Usze. Utilizing a local map, Drifts discovered the Citadel's exit. However, the group came across a heavy, locked door blocking their path, with the [[Foundry]]'s control suite on the other side, followed by the Citadel's exit. Usze and Kola managed to lift the door, which allowed Mann and Drifts to slide through.<ref name="hitd236">'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''pages 236-247'' (Google Play edition)</ref> While waiting for Drifts to gain access to the controls and open the door, the two Sangheili were ambushed and attacked by dozens of armigers. Meanwhile, Drifts infiltrated the Ark's systems and took control of the installation from the [[Rampancy|rampant]] Tragic Solitude. By the time Drifts managed to open the door, Usze and Kola had defeated the armigers, though they were moderately wounded.<ref name="hitd263">'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''pages 263-267'' (Google Play edition)</ref> While Drifts maintained control of the Ark's systems, the Spartans, N'tho, and Zon located Vale and engaged the monitor.
