Horvath's search for a Conspectus network hub kept him occupied, as Stalling's map was no longer accurate with the ring being fragmented and Horvath took care to keep his presence hidden in Banished territory. On [[2560#May|May 3]], Horvath found the location Stalling had marked: a tar lake, with an elevator hidden in its center. The elevator brought him down to a facility located 800 meters underground. Horvath was in the facility hours searching for the Conspectus hub, but only found the chamber's console had been sabotaged, likely by the Banished. Instead, Horvath came across [[Boat crew|a group of UNSC survivors]] led by Spartan [[Nina Kovan]]; guided by submonitor [[091 Adjutant Veridity]], the team was also searching for a Conspectus hub.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp31|RP|31}} Horvath joined the team, catching up on the status on the larger UNSC resistance in the fragmented region of the ring that evening. They determined that they would use one of ring's beacon towers to broadcast the ring's location to UNSC space in the hopes of summoning reinforcements. In order to access the beacon tower, they needed to find [[117649 Despondent Pyre]], the monitor of the ring. Adjutant Veridity led the team to the Conservatory; they planned to release Despondent Pyre, who would assist them with expelling the Banished and accessing a beacon tower.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp32|RP|32}} | Horvath's search for a Conspectus network hub kept him occupied, as Stalling's map was no longer accurate with the ring being fragmented and Horvath took care to keep his presence hidden in Banished territory.

On May 9, the team, led by Veridity, arrived at the Conservatory's main chamber, Pyre's Cradle. Pyre, along with a number of submonitors were sequestered by Cortana within an energy barrier. As a human and thus, a [[Reclaimer]], Horvath was able to deactivate the barrier and awaken the monitors.

As a human and thus, a [[Reclaimer]], Horvath was able to deactivate the barrier and awaken the monitors. Although Pyre was initially uninterested in offering any assistance, upon hearing news of The [[Harbinger]] being released, the monitor granted access to the beacon towers. She also gave the humans a two-toned data key that they must insert into the central plinth of a beacon tower in order to transmit the ring's location and data to human-occupied space. However, Pyre ordered Veridity to remain with her to counter the Harbinger, leaving Horvath and the other humans to travel to the beacon tower without Veridity’s presence.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp34|RP|34}} | ||
During [[Battle of the Beacon Tower|the ensuing battle]], Horvath took out the guards outside while the rest of the team went inside to deliver their message.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp35|RP|35}} When they returned, Banished reinforcements led by Gorian arrived and Horvath faced off against him. Although Horvath was at a disadvantage initially, having to dodge grenades from Gorian’s [[Jovokada Workshop brute shot|brute shot]], [[Robin Dimik]] used a [[Jovokada Workshop spike grenade|spike grenade]] to disable Gorian’s energy shields. Horvath returned the favor by using his pulse carbine to kill two [[Kig-Yar]] approaching Dimik. Gorian followed Horvath onto an overlook and tackled him, but Horvath punched the hilt of an energy sword—provided to him earlier by [[Erik Bender]]—into the side of Gorian's ribcage and activated it, cutting through Gorian’s bones, tissue, and organs before coming out on the other side of his ribcage. However, the two fell onto a translocation pad and were teleported away just before the pad was destroyed by a Banished [[Thrasher missile]], preventing Horvath's return or the others from following him.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp36|RP|36}} Horvath was teleported to a partially collapsed mountain facility somewhere far away from the beacon, where he shoved Gorian's body off of the mountain. Horvath then collapsed from his injuries and spent the next day comatose—half from exhaustion—before coming to again.
