Later, after encountering heavy resistance, the Arbiter was forced to proceed by Banshee. With assistance from a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom dropship]], 'Vadamee cleared the outside of the facility of enemy soldiers and Banshees.

When they entered the structure, the Covenant team encountered numerous [[The Flood|Flood]] forms. After fighting through both the Flood and the gas mine's Sentinels, the Arbiter encountered the leader of the heretics, Sesa 'Refumee. However, 'Refumee escaped by activating a [[hard light]] shield over a blast door leading to the heart of the facility. 'Vadamee decided to cut the cable that connected the gas mine to a larger installation above, which was designed to be severed in the event of a Flood outbreak; this prompted the rest of the Covenant forces to depart. Eventually, the Arbiter successfully cut the cables, causing the station to fall out of orbit over Threshold. The Arbiter then chased 'Refumee to his Banshee and followed him to a hangar bay where 'Refumee planned to escape aboard a [[Type-31 Exoatmospheric Multi-role Fighter|Seraph fighter]]. The Arbiter urged 'Refumee to surrender, though the latter refused; the leader of the heretics insisted that the Sangheili were oblivious to the machinations of the Prophets. The two then fought, with 'Vadamee emerging victorious.<ref name="Oracle"/> | When they entered the structure, the Covenant team encountered numerous [[The Flood|Flood]] forms.
