The [[Heretics]] then took refuge on the Gas Mine (they had been based at a [[Burial Mounds|makeshift camp]] on Basis until this point) before the Arbiter, [[Thel 'Vadamee]], and his Special Ops troops dropped it into Threshold's depths. ''[[High Charity]]'' and [[High Charity Defense Fleet|its fleet]] briefly visited Threshold as well, until they [[Slipspace|jumped]] to [[Installation 05]]. | The [[Heretics]] then took refuge on the Gas Mine (they had been based at a [[Burial Mounds|makeshift camp]] on Basis until this point) before the Arbiter, [[Thel 'Vadamee]], and his Special Ops troops dropped it into Threshold's depths.

Later in October, the UNSC prison ship {{UNSCShip|Mona Lisa}} ended up picking up Covenant survivors over Threshold including one infected by the Flood. ONI began experiments with the Flood on the ship before the Flood escaped and the ''Mona Lisa'' was destroyed by a nuclear missile fired by the {{UNSCShip|Red Horse}}. Also in the system at the time was a single Covenant ship apparently left behind to monitor or guard the Halo's remains, which were gradually being pulled into Threshold and destroyed.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''' | Later in October, the UNSC prison ship {{UNSCShip|Mona Lisa}} ended up picking up Covenant survivors over Threshold including one infected by the Flood.
