Following Anders' departure on the newly-created Halo ring, James Cutter made an entry in his captain's log wherein he expressed his sadness at having to say goodbye to his colleague and friend. In it he also noted that though she was gone and his family on the ''Spirit of Fire'' a little smaller, there was plenty to keep him occupied in the weeks ahead. Anders had said it would probably be a matter of weeks before help could be sent, after all. The Banished were still a threat to be dealt even if they had been bested this time. Cutter directed Isabel to start investigating the Ark's portal controls in the event that they needed to open—or close—the portal to Earth again in the future. The captain reflected on his hope that his family might still be alive, even knowing what he now did about [[Reach]] and the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. For the moment, however, the fight against Atriox on the Ark would be his purpose. At some point after this UNSC fighters fought the Banished amidst the wreckage of the ''Enduring Conviction'' and around one month later, on May 1, the fight across the Ark was still underway. At that time a plot by the [[Mgalekgolo]] pair known jointly as [[Colony]] to take control of a [[Forerunner]] {{Class|Despair|fighter}} was discovered. The plan was thwarted by the [[ODST]] unit, [[Sunray 1-1]], and [[Recon Team India|India Company]], which Cutter had authorized to reinforce the squad. | Following Anders' departure on the newly-created Halo ring, James Cutter made an entry in his captain's log wherein he expressed his sadness at having to say goodbye to his colleague and friend.
