In [[2555]], N'tho received word from the Arbiter that he is organizing a team to travel to the Ark on request of the UNSC after [[human]] scientists found a countdown to the activation of the Halo Array on [[Installation 07]]. The Arbiter ordered N'tho to get a shuttle ready for the arrival of Usze 'Taham, who would be joining him on the mission. And to bring the [[Huragok]] [[Drifts Randomly]] with them.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 65''</ref>

Kodiak however decided he shouldn't kill him as it would be in violation of the mission.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 104-109''</ref> At that moment Drifts Randomly activated the portal causing an earthquake which made the tree N'tho was standing next to to fall on him, Kodiak decided to spare his life and cut the tree with his sword, allowing N'tho to escape.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 121-122''</ref> They looked up to see a [[Forerunner]] [[Retriever]] exit the portal and start excavating near the portal but it was soon destroyed by the [[Cruiser#UNSC|UNSC Cruiser]] [[UNSC Endeavor|''Endeavor'']].<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 123-124''</ref> A meeting was then organized on ''Mayhem''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s bridge  , as per N'tho's request.<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 127''</ref> N'tho suggested entering the portal immediately but Captain [[Annabelle Richards]] insisted they wait for consent by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|her superiors]].<ref>'''Halo: Hunters in the Dark''', ''page 128''</ref> Not wanting to waste any time, N'tho ordered his crew to fly ''Mayhem'' into the portal but before they could enter, another Retriever appeared.
