The Flood multiplied quickly, infecting and killing most of the heretic forces, making it difficult for the Covenant to secure the facility. 'Refumee locked himself in the inner section of the mine, safe from both the Flood and an approaching maelstrom, but the Arbiter responded bluntly by cutting the cables holding the mine up, sending it into freefall. This forced the heretic leader to escape his hideout with an attempt to evacuate aboard a [[Kai-pattern Seraph]] fighter, but the Arbiter caught up to him and they had a intense battle where he was killed. Shortly thereafter, [[Tartarus]] appeared in a Phantom, and he, the Arbiter, the special operations forces, and 343 Guilty Spark escaped the mine before it fell into Threshold's inner atmosphere, where it was subsequently destroyed.<ref name="oracle"/> | ||
