Descending thousands of meters into the planet, Blue Team realizes that the Banished is not after CASTLE Base at all, but something beneath it. John remembers the Forerunner [[Menachite portal complex|complex]] that they had visited beneath the base during the Fall of Reach. After a tense vertical skirmish, the Spartans secure the entrance of CASTLE Base and the bottom of the shaft beyond. John and Kelly enter the ruins of the base and search for Dr. Halsey's laboratory while Fred scouts the path the Banished had taken deeper into the mountain. Kelly enters the lab to be confronted by a surviving subroutine of the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Kalmiya]]. She provides the correct code of "''Whateverittakes''" and the subroutine allows her access to the assets: three [[cryobins]] and a lockbox emblazoned with the symbol of [[SWORD Base]]. Fred stealthily creeps down the passage to be confronted by none other than [[ONI]] operative [[Veta Lopis]], who gives him a message to relay to the UNSC: Atriox has returned to the galaxy. Veta and her team of [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-III]] [[Ferret]]s—consisting of [[Ash-G099]], [[Olivia-G291]], and [[Mark-G313]]—had infiltrated the Keepers of the One Freedom, posing as members of the [[Covenant religion|faithful]]. She disappears into the darkness and Fred regroups with Blue Team. | Descending thousands of meters into the planet, Blue Team realizes that the Banished is not after CASTLE Base at all, but something beneath it.

The leader of the Banished exits the portal in a [[Eklon'Dal Workshop Lich]] that lands in front of the welcome party. Atriox and a number of his lieutenants exit the Lich and meet with Escharum and then Castor. The dokab makes it known that he intends to abandon the Banished and travel to the Ark, which he and the Keepers consider sacred and the location at which to begin the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]]. For this treachery, 'Gadogai is ordered to kill Castor as Atriox and his forces vacate the portal room to leave Reach aboard Escharum's corvette. However, Castor convinces 'Gadogai to join the Keepers where he will be welcomed with open arms. They and the Keeper forces—including Veta and her Ferret team—then leave for the Ark with the intent of lighting the [[Halo Array|rings]]. | ||
Blue Team and most UNSC forces still on the planet return to the UNSC ''Infinity'' to escape the system. The Spartans deliver the assets to Dr. Halsey, who plans to use them to give humanity a much-needed edge during the Created Crisis. Just as the ''Infinity'' prepares to enter [[slipspace]], sensors reveal the imminent arrival of one of Cortana's [[Guardian Custode|Guardians]], alerted by the increasingly intense conflict ranging on the planet. The ''Infinity'' escapes, but Reach will fall once more, this time under Cortana's iron fist. | Blue Team and most UNSC forces still on the planet return to the UNSC ''Infinity'' to escape the system.
