Intelligence gathered at the Banished base indicated that the group had made use of one of the Ark's [[Cartographer]]s for organizing and spreading its operations across the installation. Captain Cutter was determined to take this Cartographer from them in order to conduct effective strikes against their disparate locations. A team was quickly put together to push toward a giant elevator that could ferry forces to the it. Attempting to access it any other way would draw the ire of automated [[sentinel]] constructs that defended it. In order to gain control of the elevator, the UNSC forces would need to input the proper codes into Forerunner towers at three separate places. As a team made its way along to accomplish this objective, Cutter advised caution after seeing the corpses of Banished fighters killed by sentinels. He confirmed that no other teams of theirs were present when asked, meaning that a third party was indeed nearby. The captain chose a suitable location for the establishment of a base from which to advance toward the towers and asked Isabel to update Anders with anything she may need to know about the towers. Cutter helped Jerome manage the buildup of the base by offering advice and directives. An ambush by Banished [[Type-26 Wraith]]s prompted Cutter to call for four [[AV-14 Hornet]]s to be flown in to combat them. He watched as Jerome and the marines fought off multiple attacks on the base before sending their own contingent to take the towers. Along the way, he advised that [[Foundry (building)|Banished foundries]] that were located should be destroyed in order to cripple the group's ability to produce more Wraiths. The Banished put up a fight but eventually the ''Spirit of Fire'' troops were successful in controlling all three towers. Jerome-092 expressed to the captain that it felt good to have a win, but he was cautioned against celebrating before they knew what Atriox had really been up to on the Ark.<ref name="Ascension">'''Halo Wars 2''', campaign level ''[[Ascension (Halo Wars 2 level)|Ascension]]''</ref> | Intelligence gathered at the Banished base indicated that the group had made use of one of the Ark's [[Cartographer]]s for organizing and spreading its operations across the installation.

Around the same time that the fight to access the elevator to the Cartographer was going on, Captain Cutter was contacted by [[Alice-130]], the Spartan-II from [[Red Team]] that had stayed behind after the first encounter with the Banished. Cutter was pleased to hear from her and asked how she had escaped. She reported commandeering en enemy vehicle and also stated she had freed some marines that had been captured. Cutter immediately dispatched pelicans to extract she and the marines but also learned from Isabel that the enemy was heading for their position at that very moment. The situation was too hot to drop a firebase, but Cutter promised that the ''Spirit of Fire'' would be used to help them on the ground in whatever way it could. This initially took the form of [[restoration drone]]s, which were flown to the survivors. When the Banished bore down on them, then, the ship fired Archer missiles at the attackers. The pelicans safely extracted Alice and others and dropped them off some distance way so that they could continue to fight by conducting guerrilla strikes against the Banished. Cutter had Isabel prepare an explaination for them which would explain precisely who the Banished were, seeing as they had been absent since prior to Cutter and the other bridge crew learning of Atriox's history.<ref name=" | Around the same time that the fight to access the elevator to the Cartographer was going on, Captain Cutter was contacted by [[Alice-130]], the Spartan-II from [[Red Team]] that had stayed behind after the first encounter with the Banished.

On March 29, the forces that were taken to the Cartographer by the enormous elevator arrived to find an [[energy shield]] blocking their further progression to the central map room. Cutter asked Anders, who was present at the Cartographer, if she could find a way to move past it. Before she could give it much thought before they came under attack from Banished [[Type-26 Banshee]]s. Jerome requested an emergency supply of [[M9 Wolverine]]s and Cutter responded by saying he already had a pair standing by, which were promptly flown in before they could be attacked by sentinels. Later, Cutter assisted once again by supplying more reinforcements to the site of the battle, which eventually pitched the UNSC troops against a base the Banished had set up within the Cartgrapher's central chamber. Once the data from the Cartographer was acquired, Anders learned that the Banished had largely taken over the Ark's network of portals and had been using them to move about the Ark with ease. Cutter pressed her for more information regarding how exactly Atriox was controlling the network but everyone was forced to leave prematurely due to the encroachment of [[Protector Sentinel]]s.<ref name="The Cartographer">'''Halo Wars 2''', campaign level ''[[The Cartographer]]''</ref> | On March 29, the forces that were taken to the Cartographer by the enormous elevator arrived to find an [[energy shield]] blocking their further progression to the central map room.
