A hologram of Sig Raan would appear to stop the Grunts assault, inviting Decimus inside to discuss his proposel. Decimus would try to convince Sig Raan to join the Banished, with the Jackal simply taking him to her [[Yanme'e]] hive, where all Drones there would follow her orders. she was their queen thanks to a device created by her that would mimic the sonic and pheromonal signals of the [[Yanme'e Queen]]. Sig Raan then would inform Decimus that his signal to his group had been cut off and that this was the end for him. Decimus was set upon by Sig Raans drones, being swarmed by them. Decimus would only live thanks to the surprise arrival of Atriox. Atriox coming to the aid of Decimus along side his reinforcements would push back and defeat the entire hive, and as Sig Raan tried to escape Decimus would kill her firing a shot from his [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistol]]. Killing the Jackal instantly as he would take the device Sig Raan had created.{{Ref/Comic|Id=RoA3|Rise of Atriox|RoAE|Issue=3}} | ||

Atriox arranged to meet with Jiralhanae [[Chieftain]] [[Jovus]] who had made a name for himself. Decimus was sent to meet with him first when he arrived on the planet [[Karava]]. Decimus would act as a console to Jovus going to him unarmed. He would speak of Atriox's accomplishments on Otraak, Decimus would speak in utmost respect of his leaders brutality. Jovus would snap at Decimus for his views. Then the ground would shake and tremble as explosive charges would be let off. Soon Jovus and his group would be fired upon by Pavium and Vroidus.

Decimus | In [[2558#November|November of 2558]], the Banished arrived in force at [[Installation 00]] aboard the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]''. Atriox chose Decimus to lead the [[Attack on Installation 00|assault]] on the installation,{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22P456}} and he personally led the subsequent raid on the [[human]]s at the [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost]]. Decimus and a contingent of Banished ground forces massacred everyone in sight. Following this, Decimus was charged with establishing a system of power extraction and excavation across multiple sites on the Ark. In addition to plundering the massive [[Forerunner]] installation's resources, he also directed the collection of salvage left over from the prior [[Battle of Installation 00|battle]] in [[2552]]. Over the next few months, these endeavors grew in scope. Accessing a [[Cartographer]] allowed the Banished to take control of the installation's local [[teleportation grid|portal]] network, which made travel and coordination between many sites much more effective. | ||

Decimus would not step into the fray again until two days later on March 30, when UNSC forces were making a push to cripple the portal network by destroying its central hub. He had been reassigned to protect the portals after the extent of the network was discovered by the enemy. Decimus, enraged, made a bold stand against the aggressors, wherein he coordinated with the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]'' similar to the previous engagement. The combined fire from many UNSC infantry, vehicles, and aircraft along with Spartans [[Jerome-092]] and [[Douglas-042]] heavily damaged Decimus and his exoskeleton. Mortally wounded from the immense firepower, Decimus collapsed to his knees and ordered the humans to enjoy their victory as it would be their last, before dying.<ref name="Lights Out">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Lights Out]]''</ref> | Decimus would not step into the fray again until two days later on March 30, when UNSC forces were making a push to cripple the portal network by destroying its central hub.
