He, Tyla, and hundreds of other civilians were captured by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] and incarcerated at [[Jacobs Field]], a baseball stadium. The Covenant demanded the Key of Osanalan. The aliens were not aware that the object was fictional; Ruwan recognized the object from his childhood and realized that his brother had given him a chance to escape.{{Ref/Reuse|Issue 3}} | ||
After civilians were rescued by a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, Ackerson and Tyla escaped in a dilapidated [[M831 Troop Transport|transport Warthog]]. After evading enemy patrols, they were found by UNSC forces and evacuated by a [[D77-TC Pelican]]. During their escape, Ackerson and Tyla spontaneously decided to be married after the war. | After civilians were rescued by a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, Ackerson and Tyla escaped in a dilapidated [[M831 Troop Transport|transport Warthog]].

After informing his rescuers about what he knew regarding the Key of Osanalan, he was taken to an underground [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] base in the old sewers of Cleveland.

Although initially hostile to the civilian, Twyker realized the significance of the fake Key and, in conjunction with Wesley, devised a plan to use this knowledge to their advantage. The Marines contacted the Covenant and informed them that they had the Key, requesting a meeting to hand over the Key. Ruwan volunteered to partake in the meeting despite the protests of Tyla, and was injected with [[Tykos 30]], an organic tracking material. He then was taken to the agreed upon meeting place at [[wikipedia:Chagrin Falls|Chagrin Falls]], where a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] demanded he give them the key. Ruwan hesitated, and then told the Covenant that ''he'' was the Key.<ref name="Issue 4">'''Halo Uprising''', ''[[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref> | Although initially hostile to the civilian, Twyker realized the significance of the fake Key and, in conjunction with Wesley, devised a plan to use this knowledge to their advantage.
