When the Keepers emerged from the portal, they ended up getting caught in the middle of a firefight between the UNSC, the [[Banished]] and the [[Covenant loyalists]] over control of the slipspace portal.{{Ref/Reuse|DW1}} The Lich crashed, but the Keepers were able to form an alliance with the Covenant, aided by the unexpected return of [[Intrepid Eye]] who had been believed to have been destroyed along with ''[[Argent Moon]]'' during [[Operation: BIRD IN HAND]]. The [[archeon-class ancilla]]'s goal was to use the Halo Array to destroy the [[Domain]] so that the ancilla could render [[Cortana]] vulnerable and destroy her. This would open the way for Intrepid Eye to reseed the galaxy using the Ark's resources and tailor humanity over the course of hundreds of thousands of years to attain the [[Mantle of Responsibility]].{{Ref/Reuse|DW5}}{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW6|DW|Chapter=6}} | When the Keepers emerged from the portal, they ended up getting caught in the middle of a firefight between the UNSC, the [[Banished]] and the [[Covenant loyalists]] over control of the slipspace portal.{{Ref/Reuse|DW1}} The Lich crashed, but the Keepers were able to form an alliance with the Covenant, aided by the unexpected return of [[Intrepid Eye]] who had been believed to have been destroyed along with ''[[Argent Moon]]'' during [[Operation: BIRD IN HAND]].

Combated by both the Banished and the UNSC, the allied Keeper and Covenant forces managed to reach [[Epsilon Clarion]], the only facility on the Ark capable of firing the Halo Array that was both active and accessible. During [[Battle of Epsilon Clarion|the resulting battle]], the Keepers of the One Freedom was completely wiped out, leaving only Castor and [[Sangheili]] [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]]. On the orders of Lopis, the ''Spirit of Fire'' bombarded the facility with [[EMP]] [[MAC]] rounds, destroying both Epsilon Clarion and Intrepid Eye who had made herself vulnerable by consolidating herself in Epsilon Clarion's systems rather than remaining spread out as she had been previously. The loss of Epsilon Clarion destroyed the Ark's ability to fire the Halo Array until a new Clarion facility is constructed. The Banished also suffered heavy casualties to [[Long Shields | Combated by both the Banished and the UNSC, the allied Keeper and Covenant forces managed to reach [[Epsilon Clarion]], the only facility on the Ark capable of firing the Halo Array that was both active and accessible.
