The lift stopped suddenly, disorienting many of the passengers. Choros informed them that the sensation would pass in time and that they should prepare for what lay ahead. Then, the lift's door opened to reveal a vast [[Wikipedia:Arcade (architecture)|arcade]] filled with overgrown flora. Various catwalks arched through the air above, connecting delicate platforms and once-opulent common spaces. Flocks of exotic birds could be seen flitting among the dense foliage that climbed up to the chamber's distant ceilings. Minas led the strike force off of the lift as Choros began to explain the purpose of the chamber to 'Vagaduun.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}}

Just then, Choros was knocked to the floor by a [[plasma]] blast, his armor taking the brunt of the damage. Everyone else dove for the nearest cover and Minas dragged the stunned Choros behind a nearby stone barrier while under fire by plasma bolts and [[Vostu-pattern carbine|carbine]] rounds. Rousing Choros, Minas ordered him to follow his lead and dashed for the jungle of foliage ahead of them. As they moved, Choros noticed a trio of silhouettes firing down on them from a rafter above and raised his [[Skewer]] to return fire. Minas did the same with his {{Pattern|Erudo'ma'keth|pulse carbine}}, forcing their attackers to seek cover. He could hear Zeretus yelling "Impossible!" in the distance, followed by the crash of his [[Type-2 gravity hammer|gravity hammer]] and the alarmingly Jiralhanae-like cry of his victim. Choros finished off their three attackers with a shot from his Skewer and the two of them pushed deeper into the arcade. They neared a doorway through which they could see a group of enemy Jiralhanae launch a salvo of plasma at them. Taking cover on either side of the portico, Choros and Minas shared their disbelief that remnants of the Covenant were still occupying the Keyship after all this time, nearly seven years after their empire fell. Putting their shock aside, the two warriors silently signaled to each other their next move. Simultaneously, they wheeled around the corner, unleashing a torrent of plasma at their assailants. Only two Covenant Jiralhanae survived and tried to flee out of the overgrown portico. Okro 'Vagaduun emerged from the shadows to decapitate one Jiralhanae and drive his [[Type-1 energy sword|sword]] into the back of the other in a single elegant motion.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}}

Noticing that the weapons fire had ceased throughout the arcade, the remaining Banished troops regrouped to discuss what had happened. Choros theorized that these warriors had been ordered by the High Prophet of Truth to stay behind and protect the ship from intruders. They must have never given up their duty, living off of the vast stores of supplies the ship held for over six years. After discussing the situation a bit further, Minas refocused them on the task at hand and had Choros continue to lead the group to the Adytum.{{Ref/Reuse|Sacrifice}}
