In Sali 'Nyon's hideout on the planet, a Zealot asks 'Nyon about the feasibility of continuing the rebellion. 'Nyon tells him the rebellion will continue and reassures his followers that the [[Forerunner]]s have blessed them, of which his acquisition of the half of the Janus Key is proof. A [[Sangheili Minor]] then tells him there is evidence to the contrary: the [[Promethean]]s' allegiance to Jul 'Mdama, to which Sali responds the answers will be revealed soon. As 'Nyon goes to heal the wounded, the Minor stays behind. Inside the Forerunner structure, Glassman has opened the teleportation grid. He tells Palmer he can open a portal to the other end of the island, but Palmer asks him if one of the portals can be opened inside the jungle. Glassman affirms this is possible and Palmer orders him to open both portals, then orders [[Tedra Grant|Grant]], Glassman and three other Spartans to take one portal while Palmer, Ray and Thorne take the other. On the other end of the island, two [[Mark IX Mantis ADS|Mantises]] are fighting against Covenant forces. Grant's team arrives through the portal and are almost killed by friendly fire from the Mantises. | In Sali 'Nyon's hideout on the planet, a Zealot asks 'Nyon about the feasibility of continuing the rebellion.

The Minor contacts a Zealot of Jul's Covenant and tells him he wants to rejoin 'Mdama, having reached the conclusion that Jul is the true Didact's Hand because the Prometheans would never obey an impostor. He then reveals he has the half of the Janus Key stolen by 'Nyon, and he will lead them to 'Nyon's hideout. The Zealot orders him to conceal himself until they arrive and establish a rendezvous point. Thorne and Ray prepare to ambush the Minor but Palmer orders them to stop. Both Spartans question her order, pointing out that they could easily take the Janus Key from the Sangheili before Halsey arrives with a greater force. However, Palmer states that the Minor will lead them to Halsey and that it is time the Doctor gets caught in her own trap. | ||
