When the [[Banished]] attacked the ''Infinity'' and the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Atriox]] defeated and seemingly killed the [[Spartan]] [[John-117]], contracted civilian maintenance technician [[Fernando Esparza]] panicked at the news and stole ''216'' to escape the besieged ship. However, without a [[Slipspace drive]], the vessel was only capable of limited sublight travel; with the ''Infinity'' no longer spaceworthy and Installation 07 occupied by Banished forces, ''Echo-216'' and its sole occupant were stranded in space. Not long after the battle, Installation 07 was seriously damaged by a mysterious explosion, and ''Echo-216'' was among those dragged with the massive structure as it jumped to an unknown location, along with a majority of UNSC and Banished forces on and around the ring. | ||

Fernando continues to utilize ''Echo-216'' to support John as he attempts to access the second spire, eventually taking it to pick John up after he finishes his task in the structure. However, just as he arrives to extract the SPARTAN, a cloaked [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] enters the cockpit and hijacks the Pelican, steering ''216'' away from John-117 and towards Escharum's headquarters, the House of Reckoning, where Fernando is captured and interred as bait to lure John-117 into a final battle with Escharum, and ''216'' is impounded to be dealt with later. John-117 and the Weapon besiege the House of Reckoning, doing battle with and defeating both Jega and Escharum and rescuing Fernando, who recovers ''216'' and uses it to carry the three away from the House of Reckoning and to the [[Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium]], where [[the Harbinger]] intends to use the partially-completed structure to search for something on the ring. | Fernando continues to utilize ''Echo-216'' to support John as he attempts to access the second spire, eventually taking it to pick John up after he finishes his task in the structure.

Fernando deploys John-117 at the Auditorium, but, due to the heavy defenses set up by the Banished at the site, John orders Fernando to pull back and wait for his word for extraction. Three days later, after locating John's signal again, Fernando tracks down the SPARTAN-II and picks him up in ''Echo-216'', preparing to assist John-117 in further operations against the Banished on Zeta Halo. | Fernando deploys John-117 at the Auditorium, but, due to the heavy defenses set up by the Banished at the site, John orders Fernando to pull back and wait for his word for extraction.
