Meanwhile, the descendants of the Ussans continue to inhabit the fragments of [[the Refuge]], which are now in varying states of decay. The isolated colony's culture has changed significantly over this time and the key figures of Ussa 'Xellus' time have become legendary. Enduring Bias has been long inactive due to damage it sustained during the Disassembly process millennia earlier and a comet strike on the [[Primary Section]]. The colony's integrity is threatened by a disease known as the [[Blood Sickness]] as well as the [['Greftus Faction]], a rebel group that declares the Ussans should abandon the decaying Refuge and seek out the now-mythical Sanghelios. [[Kaidon]] [[Bal'Tol 'Xellus]] meets with his assistant [[C'tenz]], who informs him that a 'Greftus Faction group led by a Sangheili named [['Kinsa]] has been confirmed, and that some of the rebels are in the late stage of the Blood Sickness, exhibiting hallucinations and paranoia. They discuss methods to quell the rebellion; Bal'Tol wishes to isolate the Blood Sick and continue searching for a cure, though C'tenz is skeptical and suggests they be put to death. Bal'Tol knows many residents of the Refuge are concerned about the colony's slow breakdown and sympathize with the 'Greftus Faction, and he does not wish to murder 'Kinsa and provoke an uprising. | Meanwhile, the descendants of the Ussans continue to inhabit the fragments of [[the Refuge]], which are now in varying states of decay.

On ''High Charity'', the Prophet of Exquisite Devotion informs Zo that Tartarus will soon be made military chief of the Covenant and that the Sangheili in the Honor Guard will be replaced by Jiralhanae. Wishing to warn his Sangheili friends, Zo meets with G'torik and tells him about the conspiracy. G'torik is shocked by the news but tells Zo that he and the other Sangheili will be on alert. After the [[Changing of the Guard]], Torg and G'torik lead a group of Sangheili to the [[Control Room (Installation 05)|control room]] of [[Installation 05|Delta Halo]] in order to make preparations for the activation of the ring. As they await the San'Shyuum, Tartarus's lieutenant [[Melchus]] arrives with a large contingent of heavily armed Jiralhanae and suddenly attack the Sangheili. The Sangheili try to defend themselves but are outnumbered and unprepared, their weapons ineffective against the Jiralhanae's thick armor. Torg and numerous [[Sangheili High Councilor|High Councilors]] and former [[Sangheili Honor Guardsman|Honor Guards]] are killed in the violent skirmish. G'torik battles Melchus alone, dealing several minor injuries to the Jiralhanae, but Melchus uses his [[gravity hammer]]'s shock wave to knock G'torik off a bridge, rendering him unconscious. Back on ''High Charity'', Truth makes a public announcement that the Jiralhanae now command all Covenant fleets. Zo knows there have been skirmishes on ''High Charity'' and on the ring, and he realizes [[Great Schism|the rebellion]] has begun. As he ponders what to do, a Jiralhanae messenger tells him that Exquisite Devotion has summoned him. | On ''High Charity'', the Prophet of Exquisite Devotion informs Zo that Tartarus will soon be made military chief of the Covenant and that the Sangheili in the Honor Guard will be replaced by Jiralhanae.

Meanwhile, on the Refuge, Bal'Tol and a group of [[Refuge Security|patrollers]] search for the 'Greftus leader 'Kinsa. They find him speaking to his followers rebelling against the kaidon. Bal'Tol notices that 'Kinsa displays symptoms of the Blood Sickness and offers him a place of isolation until a cure can be found, but 'Kinsa refuses and one of his followers, [[Norzessa]], jumps to his defense. Suddenly, Bal'Tol and his patrollers are ambushed by fifteen rebel troops. A firefight breaks out and Bal'Tol calls for reinforcements. He and C'tenz manage to bring Norzessa down. As more patrollers arrive, 'Kinsa and the Blood Sick survivors flee from the battle. | Meanwhile, on the Refuge, Bal'Tol and a group of [[Refuge Security|patrollers]] search for the 'Greftus leader 'Kinsa.
