After the [[Requiem Campaign|events]] on [[Requiem]] and | After the [[Requiem Campaign|events]] on [[Requiem]] and Jul 'Mdama allied himself with Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]], Sali began questioning 'Mdama's true intentions. Sali started to recruit his own followers, viewing himself as the true Hand of the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]], and plotted against Jul. By [[2558#July|July 2558]], amidst the [[Battle of Aktis IV]], his followers were identified by 'Mdama's forces. During the battle, after 'Mdama's forces tricked the UNSC into delivering their half of the [[Janus Key]] to [[Aktis IV]]'s surface, 'Nyon's followers shot down the [[D79-TC Pelican]] carrying the Key. This led to confusion among 'Mdama's ranks, whom recognized the attack to be unauthorized by 'Mdama. Nonetheless, 'Mdama's fleet proceeded with their planned attack on the orbiting {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, 'Nyon made his way to the Pelican's crash site and retrieved the UNSC's half of the Janus Key for himself.{{Ref/Reuse|HE14}} | ||
Traveling to the surface of Aktis IV himself, 'Mdama and his forces began to eliminate 'Nyon's insurgents. 'Nyon broadcasted a message across Jul's entire fleet to incite them to join him in rebellion. 'Nyon, with his half of the Janus Key, retreated to his hideout in a jungle. A [[Sangheili Zealot]] approached him about the feasibility of continuing the rebellion, to which 'Nyon responded by reassuring his followers that the Forerunners had blessed them, citing his recovery of half of the Janus Key as proof. A [[Sangheili Minor]] stated that the [[Promethean]]s' allegiance to Jul 'Mdama was evidence to the contrary, but 'Nyon insisted that the answers to their questions would all be revealed in time. While 'Nyon left to help aid the wounded, the Minor, disillusioned with 'Nyon's rebellion, stole his half of the Janus Key and departed on a {{Pattern|Karo'etba|Ghost}}. The Minor contacted a Zealot serving under 'Mdama, and promised to provide the stolen Janus Key half and 'Nyon's location of his hideout. The Zealot reluctantly agreed and prepared to establish a rendezvous point.{{Ref/Reuse|HE15}} | Traveling to the surface of Aktis IV himself, 'Mdama and his forces began to eliminate 'Nyon's insurgents.
