Second Ark Conflict: Difference between revisions

With the portal open between [[Reach]] and the Ark, the fanatical [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] seize the opportunity to hijack [[Atriox]]'s [[Banished Lich]] and use it to reach the Ark and begin the [[Great Journey]] by firing the [[Halo Array]]. Despite Atriox's warnings that the Ark still has thousands of Banished forces defending it, the Keepers are undeterred and depart through the portal for the Ark, unaware that their human companions are actually the [[Ferret]]s, an undercover team of ONI operatives made up mainly of [[Spartan-III]]'s. Despite his stated intention to return to the Ark with more Banished reinforcements, Atriox instead departs from Reach in [[Escharum]]'s [[intrusion corvette]], stating that he had a more important mission to attend to. The portal collapsed shortly thereafter, preventing anyone else from traveling to or from the Ark.<ref name="SoR" />
