{{Under Construction}}

Over the course of the ''Spirit of Fire'''s travels, Anders softened towards Forge, especially after noticing how much he cared for those around him.<ref name = "Grew"/> During the [[Battle for Arcadia]], Anders used [[plasma|modified]] [[M145D Rhino|Rhino]] tanks to blow through a shield dome, revealing a half-built [[Type-29 Scarab|Scarab]], and a [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|complex of ruins]] underneath. The UNSC Marine force on the surface destroyed the Scarab,<ref name="Dome of Light">'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Dome of Light]]''</ref><ref name="Scarab">'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Scarab (level)|Scarab]]''</ref> but during an investigation of the site, Anders and Forge were attacked by the [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]]. When Forge was about to be killed, Anders gave herself up as a hostage to save the Sergeant's life. Forge persuaded Cutter to mount a rescue mission.{{Ref/Reuse|Anders' Signal}}

Once the plan had been set, Anders went to one of Forerunner Particle Cannon to disable the Banished's carrier, while Douglas-042 and UNSC protected her from the Banished's attack. After a short period, she managed to immobilize ''Enduring Conviction''  and disable its shields once the cannon gathered enough power to fire. When the job was done, Anders did not return to ''Spirit of Fire''; instead, she went to the Foundry to take control of Installation 09. En route to Installation 09's control room on, the UNSC spotted Retriever Sentinel. Anders managed to temporarily seize control of Retriever Sentinel, allowing her to disable the shields around control room, giving her, Red Team, and UNSC enough time to set up defensive perimeter. While UNSC fended off the assault from the Banished, Anders disarmed the firing system and began to set up the beacon. While setting the beacon up, Anders found the controls for the installation's gravity anchors. Utilizing this newfound advantage, the UNSC began to go on offensive and managed to surround the remaining Banished on Installation 09, trapping them. Once the Banished were trapped, Anders activated a shield barrier around the section they were on, and ejected it into space, disintegrating the section and presumably destroying all Banished forces on it. As UNSC were exfiltrating to the''Spirit of Fire'', Anders realized that the installation had already begun to enter slipspace, making it impossible for her to evacuate in time. The installation then entered slipspace, taking Anders with it.

Anders started off having a rocky relationship with [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]], the man assigned to protect her. Anders appeared to take some amusement from Forge's forced assignment, giving him a smirk when he complained about "babysitting duty again."{{Ref/Reuse|Dome of Light}} However, she was willing to sacrifice herself to Ripa 'Moramee to save Forge's life.<ref name="Anders' Signal">'''[[Halo Wars]]''', campaign level ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref> When Forge rescued Anders from three [[Flood infection form]]s, while she didn't react to Forge's sarcastic comments and request for a thanks, Anders called Forge by his first name for the first time.{{Ref/Reuse|Beachhead}} After Forge sacrificed himself to destroy Etran Harborage, Anders expressed grief to [[Captain]] [[James Cutter]] before entering cryo-stasis.{{Ref/Reuse|Escape}}
