Despite the intervention of [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[Silver Team]], all of the Insurrectionists were wiped out except for teenager [[Kwan Ah]]. The attacking [[Sangheili]] were wiped out by the Spartans and their [[Type-52 Phantom|Phantom]] was captured by the UNSC, but a single Sangheili managed to escape in a Banshee to report to the [[Prophet of Mercy/Silver|Prophet of Mercy]]. [[John-117]] retrieved the artifact from the cave system before leaving the planet with Kwan Ah.{{Ref/Film|TV|[[Contact]]}}
