Traveling down a hallway to the next hangar bay, 'Sevi's smoke screen provides the Spartans cover but also impairs their vision. Thorne activates his [[Z-5080 Promethean vision|Promethean vison]] and discovers that they are surrounded by oncoming Covenant forces. A firefight ensues and the Spartans manage to fight their way to the hangar. As a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] appears and prepares to fire upon the Spartans, the tank is destroyed by a Phantom manned by 'Sevi. As they board the dropship, Glassman wakes up. As the team leaves the damaged carrier, 'Sevi decides to travel to 'Mdama's ''[[Song of Retribution]]''. Meanwhile, aboard the [[flagship]], 'Mdama and Halsey argue about their situation. Halsey reminds 'Mdama that once they travel to the Absolute Record, they will discover technology beyond their comprehension that will more than compensate for the ships that were destroyed when the portal opened. To further calm the irate 'Mdama, Halsey claims that once he is in control of the Absolute Record's "treasures", 'Mdama will be seen as a god. 'Mdama decides to make another attempt to travel to the Absolute Record, though only ''Song of Retribution'' will enter the portal while ''Breath of Annihilation'' makes emergency repairs at a nearby [[moon]]. | Traveling down a hallway to the next hangar bay, 'Sevi's smoke screen provides the Spartans cover but also impairs their vision.

'Sevi learns of 'Mdama's intentions and informs the rest of the team. Glassman reminds them that once they enter the portal, they will have even less of a chance at re-establishing contact with ONI. Palmer orders 'Sevi and Thorne to travel back to ''Breath of Annihilation'' to attempt to contact ONI, while the rest of the team remains on ''Song of Retribution'' to travel through the portal. As the two travel back to the damaged carrier in the Phantom, 'Sevi informs Thorne that there is rumors of a possible Spartan attack spreading aboard the ship. 'Sevi discovers that prisoners from ''Retribution'' are being temporarily transferred to ''Annihilation'', one of which is traitor [[Sali 'Nyon]]. 'Sevi considers using 'Nyon to create a distraction for them. Aboard ''Retribution'', the rumors of the Spartan attack reaches 'Mdama. Halsey dismisses 'Mdama's worries and states that the Spartans would be unable to stop them from reaching the Absolute Record, and the carrier promptly enters the portal. ''Retribution'' arrives at the Absolute Record and a [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]] detects the human presence aboard the carrier. The ancilla, a [[Contender-class artificial intelligence]] notes that the "[[Reclaimer]]s have arrived". | 'Sevi learns of 'Mdama's intentions and informs the rest of the team.
