By [[2553#May|May 6, 2553]] ONI learned of a recent engagement the carrier had been a prominent part of. The leader of the [[Banished]], Atriox, had raided a Covenant air base belonging to the Sangheili separatists but had successfully been captured and taken aboard the ship as a prisoner. Twelve hours later, ''Enduring Conviction'' broke formation and contact with the rest of its fleet. The ''Conviction'' was hailed, warned, and then fired upon when it ignored orders. The ''Conviction'' performed evasive maneuvers, returned fire and escaped. It accomplished this through the same infamous maneuver that had been logged by the UNSC in 2551.

The ONI operatives examining the matter concluded that the manner in which the ''Conviction'' escaped its fellow Covenant ships was indicative that Atriox had not taken it over by force.{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} Instead, it seemed to them that his capture was either a ruse from the start on behalf of both parties or that Atriox simply allowed himself to be taken so that he could make a proposal to 'Volir. Whatever the case, the fact of the matter is that soon after escaping, Let 'Volir and his crew swore fealty to the Banished on neutral territory—an orbital installation. In exchange for their unquestioning loyalty, the [[Banished]] would supply the crew and fuel the ''Enduring Conviction'' indefinitely. The ONI operatives analyzing the ship's shift of allegiance surmised that Atriox would lay low for a while after securing such a prize, as he would have painted a giant target on himself in doing so.{{Ref/Reuse|PL~~}}{{clear~~}}
