At some point, Floats Near Ceiling had been taught to pick up repair request signals from [[Forerunner]] artifacts through an "Engineer communication frequency".

Upon arriving at the planet, the Huragok, along with Vil, [[Trok 'Tanghil]], [[Loquen 'Nvong]], Captain [[Vervum L'kosur]], and the [[Mken 'Scre'ah'ben|Prophet of Inner Conviction]] traveled to Janjur Qom's surface in a [[dropship]] to begin the expedition. While passing through the planet's atmosphere, Floats Near Ceiling suddenly picked up several repair request signals from the various broken Forerunner artifacts scattered around Janjur Qom. He was initially confused as to what the signals meant, but soon remembered being taught. While the Huragok desired to fix the machines, Vil reminded him that the team needed to acquire the artifacts that they had come for.

The Stoics attacked Loquen and Vervum, and the latter was killed while Loquen was captured. As the Stoics departed the grotto, the Floats Near Ceiling reopened the door and the trio left. The three returned to the dropship and the Forerunner artifacts were safely stored inside the craft's storage compartments.
