Issue #5 begins with a status report by [[Iona]] explaining the events so far, in a message designated only to be relayed to UNSC command in the event [[Team Black]] is neutralized.

The story opens with Black-Four, having an uncontrolled emotional outburst as a result of manipulation by [[686 Ebullient Prism]], attacking [[Black-Three]] despite Three's and Iona's attempts to reason with him. He then removes Iona's [[~~Data Crystal Chip~~|storage chip]] from his helmet and tries to crush it, but Four dives in to save her. While [[Thon 'Talamee]] and the remaining Covenant watch the two Spartans fight, Thon is contacted by [[Reff 'Talamee|Reff]], who has escaped captivity and reached the installation's control center with [[Black-One]]. The Covenant proceed to the control center while leaving the Spartans on their own.

Black-One, investigating the installation's control panel, then contacts the rest of the team and tells them to proceed to the control room, marking it with a [[Navigation ~~Point~~|NAV point]] on their [[Heads-up display|HUDs]]. She discovers what brought down [[Long Time Coming|their ship]], as well as the [[Clarity of Faith|Covenant one]]: the facility possesses a weapon that can fire directly into [[Slipspace]]. She also detects a large [[Covenant fleet]] moving toward their position and asks for the status of the team. To her surprise, she finds that Three and Four are engaged in a brawl, and Three tells her what the fight is about. In order to snap Four out of his tantrum, she tells him that she forgives him for telling on [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Mendez]] about her and Three. This, combined by Iona flooding his mind with images of the team's previous missions together, reminds Four of the importance of the only "family" he has and returns him to his senses. He then tells Three how good he felt when they got back at [[Red Team]] for taking One's eye out.

With the issue resolved, One orders Three and Four to make their way to her position. Just then, a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] slams her head into the command console. Thon, having just arrived at the control center, tells Reff that now that they are reunited, the truce with the humans is over. He then notices the approaching Covenant supply convoy on the control panel display, and inquires if they could use the machinery to send a message to ''[[High Charity]]''. However, Reff has other plans: In religious fervor, he proclaims that they must use the Installation's weapons to shoot the Prophets' servants down, claiming that it was destiny that brought him here to build a "new Covenant".
