The Raid on Anodyne Spirit was a operation conducted by the Banished during the Second Ark Conflict in 2559. Their objective was to infiltrate the Anodyne Spirit and recover three fragments of a slipspace flake originally found within a Forerunner structure on Reach. With the fragments, Atriox planned to open a portal to Reach.[1]
Background
After travelling to the Ark aboard the Anodyne Spirit, the Prophet of Truth had landed the Keyship amidst a Forerunner city perched atop an immense basalt sea stack in a region that the Banished would later dub Mahsko. The massive rock column was one of seven that arched toward a distant peninsula. When the Prophet left to initiate the Great Journey from the Ark's control room, he instructed some of the vessel's compliment to stay behind and defend it against intruders. Many believed the Keyship to have been lost in the battle that ravaged the installation.[1]
Some time after the Flood outbreak on the Ark, Atriox decided that he would need to return to the Milky Way. However, this would be difficult since the portal to Earth had closed almost a year earlier and the only ship equipped with a slipspace drive that he had brought had been destroyed by a Spartan. There was another way, however. Rumor had it that there was a portal structure hidden on Reach that connected to the Ark. To open this portal, Atriox would need a Forerunner slipspace flake. Thankfully, Tartarus had recovered shards of the flake originally found on Reach and presented them to the Prophet of Truth, who transferred them to the Anodyne Spirit when it left High Charity.[2] To retrieve these shards from the Keyship, Atriox dispatched three strike teams, each in their own Phantom dropship. The teams were led by Chieftain Minas, Okro 'Vagaduun, and Zeretus.[1]
