The issue opens in the [[Absolute Record]], with Jul' Mdama and his Elites fighting off [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Jul is under the impression that the [[Custodian]] ancilla has regained control and is attacking them, unaware that they're under Halsey's orders to assassinate them. As for the humans, they escort the Sentinel containing the Custodian's personality fragment, who aids them in combat against Halsey's Sentinels. | The issue opens in the [[Absolute Record]], with Jul 'Mdama and his Elites fighting off [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s.

Aboard the ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]'', [[Sali 'Nyon]]'s forces have taken control of the ship and secured Jul's vault of [[Forerunner]] artifacts. Sali rejoices in their victory and praises [[Ayit 'Sevi]] for their victory, still unaware that he's an [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] spy. However, two Zealots are suspicious of 'Sevi after they overheard him speaking English. As Ayit leaves supposedly to help secure the hangar, the Zealots follow him. | Aboard the ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]'', [[Sali 'Nyon]]'s forces have taken control of the ship and secured Jul's vault of [[Forerunner]] artifacts.

Back in the Record, [[Sarah Palmer|Palmer]], [[Holly Tanaka|Tanaka]], and [[Henry Glassman|Glassman]] reach the auxiliary control conduit where they can put the Custodian back in charge of the facility. The Custodian's sentinel sends the initialization code to Palmer's HUD, who reads it to Glassman as he types. However, Halsey realizes they're up to and interferes with the attempt, halting their progress.

The Custodian informs Palmer that Halsey is in the room directly above them, Palmer volunteering to head up there. At the top floor she holds Halsey at gunpoint, giving her three seconds to step away from her console. Instead Halsey activates a containment field around Palmer and prepares a portal to her next destination. | ||
At the ''Annihilation'', Thorne flies to its hangar in a Banshee while Ayit prepares to meet him. But the Zealots confront him there, accusing him of being a spy for the humans. Ayit tries to deny it, but the Zealots hear Thorne's voice over their COM. Guise revealed, Ayit tells the Zealots he'll surrender and let them have Thorne. The Zealots do not relent, telling Ayit that selling out his partner still won't spare his life. The very next second, Thorne's Banshee runs over both of them. Ayit helps him out, thanking the confused Thorne for saving his life. | At the ''Annihilation'', Thorne flies to its hangar in a Banshee while Ayit prepares to meet him.
