Upon arrival at the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]], the Weapon helped to guide the Master Chief through the Banished base towards the pilot's location, expressing surprise and confusion at Escharum's transmissions throughout their journey. Upon reaching the pilot, the Weapon attempted to free him, but they were interrupted by the arrival of Escharum for a final battle between the old War Chief and the Master Chief with the Weapon remaining in the system to work on getting the pilot out at the same time. When Escharum surrounded himself with an energy shield by using the relays in the room, the Weapon warned the Master Chief that any injuries to Escharum would hurt the pilot and helped him to destroy the relays and Escharum's shield. Once Escharum was completely vulnerable, the Weapon shouted encouragement at the Master Chief until he won the fight. After Escharum was defeated, the Weapon was able to free the pilot and the three of them witnessed Escharum's death from his wounds in the Master Chief's arms. Although the pilot believed it to be over since the Banished leader was dead, the Master Chief warned that there would be consequences while the Weapon stated that the intricacies of any action were complex, confusing the pilot. With the Harbinger at the Silent Auditorium, they needed to move because whatever she was planning was worse than Escharum and the Banished. The three then departed the House of Reckoning to stop the Harbinger and her plans.{{Ref/Level|Hi|[[House of Reckoning]]}} | Upon arrival at the [[House of Reckoning (location)|House of Reckoning]], the Weapon helped to guide the Master Chief through the Banished base towards the pilot's location, expressing surprise and confusion at Escharum's transmissions throughout their journey.

As ''Echo 216'' approached the Silent Auditorium, the Weapon realized that it was the location where she had locked down Cortana and where Cortana died. Fighting their way through the structure, the two witnessed Cortana's memories of her facing off with [[Atriox]] after she had been locked down, although, unlike the previous memories that the two had seen, these memories seemed to be more purposeful, as if Cortana had purposefully left them to be found. From these memories, they learned that Atriox had pressured Cortana to surrender control of the ring to him and that the Weapon's deletion had been prevented by Cortana herself after Cortana realized that she had unwittingly set in motion a chain of events, which would put all life in the [[Milky Way]] in [[Xalanyn|mortal danger]]. Cortana knew that the Weapon would be John's sole option for stopping the plans of the Banished, as she would no longer be able to. After a final confrontation with Atriox, Cortana sacrificed herself to destroy the part of the ring containing the Silent Auditorium, apparently killing the Banished leader.{{Ref/Reuse|Silent Auditorium}} | |||
After the | After finally reaching the Harbinger, the Weapon monitored the transmissions to another location and attempted to deduce their contents while helping the Master Chief to stop the Harbinger. As time went on, the Weapon was unexpectedly aided in her work by an unknown entity within the Silent Auditorium's systems. When the Harbinger died, she sent off a final transmission to an unknown location, one that was sent too fast for the Weapon to deduce more than the fact that it was to something old. Afterwards, the two witnessed a final message recorded for the Master Chief by Cortana, in which she apologized for her actions and hoped that the two may learn from her mistakes and become better for them. Cortana also relayed to the Master Chief that she felt that the Weapon had a lot of potential.{{Ref/Reuse|Silent Auditorium}} | ||
With the Silent Auditorium collapsing around them, the Master Chief and the Weapon fled up a gravity lift that suddenly appeared and returned to the surface. Much to her surprise, the Weapon learned that they had been gone for three days and the Master Chief and the Weapon were extracted by ''Echo 216''. Preparing to continue their fight with the Banished, the Weapon asked for the pilot's name and he finally introduced himself as Fernando Esparza and asked what he should call the Weapon. Rather than pick himself, the Master Chief offered to let the Weapon choose her own name - much like Halsey had done for Cortana. The Weapon informed her companions that she had the perfect name for herself and they flew off together in the Pelican.{{Ref/Level|Id=Silent Auditorium|Hi|[[Silent Auditorium]]}} | |||
