In response to the quarantine breach, Pavium prepares several waves of defenses, establishing several defensive perimeters in which to fall back while [[Mgalekgolo|Goliaths]] clear pathways for Banished forces to fall back in. However, all defensive efforts fail and eventually Pavium is forced back to his main [[Outpost]]. Meanwhile, Voridus and his men manage to retreat and fine a nondescript Forerunner structure. While Voridus attempts to reactivate the defenses in the region, Pavium comes up with a plan to stay the Flood's advance - at least temporarily. Fissures in the landscape are honeycombed with explosive power, which the Banished could potentially use to catalyse a chain reaction, burning the Flood away. Pavium sets up a mining facility, eventually able to dig into the crystals beneath the surface and start the reaction necessary - however, the Flood senses this threat, and begins sending much [[Abomination|stronger forms]] against Banished forces. With the Flood scourge burned away, Voridus is able to enter the Forerunner structure and find a way to reactivate the Ark's defenses. Fighting through Flood, Voridus is eventually able to reactivate the defenses, in time to hear news that Atriox has dispatched Banished reinforcements to assist in quarantine cleanup measures. | In response to the quarantine breach, Pavium prepares several waves of defenses, establishing several defensive perimeters in which to fall back while [[Mgalekgolo|Goliaths]] clear pathways for Banished forces to fall back in.

Atriox proceeds to scold the two brothers, informing them that their recklessness has cost him several major fortifications as he must now reroute troops away from fighting the UNSC to deal with this threat, warning that if the situation is not dealt with by the time he arrives personally there will be grave consequences. Pavium and Voridus begin a centralised effort to fight back against the infection, but soon find their path blocked by a massive tentacle. Pavium commissions a [[Mega turret]] to deal with the threat, but soon realises that the tentacle is but one extension of a gargantuan [[Proto-Gravemind]] - if allowed to finish growing, the Flood would be unstoppable. Thanks to coordination by artillery, orbital support and ground troops, the Proto-Gravemind is killed in time for Atriox to arrive and inspect the scene himself. Once again, he scolds the two brothers before ordering them to secure the breach | Atriox proceeds to scold the two brothers, informing them that their recklessness has cost him several major fortifications as he must now reroute troops away from fighting the UNSC to deal with this threat, warning that if the situation is not dealt with by the time he arrives personally there will be grave consequences.
