Aboard the Enduring Conviction's bridge, several hidden Banished soldiers abruptly ambushed 'Volir and his crew turning the tables on the Shipmaster. Now as a prisoner of Atriox, the two began to talk. Atriox revealed that he allowed himself to get captured as an opportunity to make a proposition. Atriox pointed out how he was aware of Volir's wavering faith in the Covenant separatists and saw him as a good recruit for the Banished.

Let 'Volir received several incoming messages from Arkad Nar 'Kulul, inquiring on the status of Atriox's imprisonment. 'Volir deliberately ignored these messages leading 'Kulul to believe he was dead and that the Sangheili crew of the Enduring Conviction had been overthrown by the Banished. 'Kulul and the rest of his fleet approached and opened fire on the Enduring Conviction assuming it was now hostile and under Atriox's control. 'Volir ordered the Enduring Conviction to perform evasive maneuvers and make a sudden [[slipspace jump]], successfully escaping from the rest of the fleet. | Let 'Volir received several incoming messages from Arkad Nar 'Kulul, inquiring on the status of Atriox's imprisonment.

Around four months after the Banished first took control of the Ark, the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} also exited [[slipstream space]] above it on March 28, 2559.

Despite his prior failures, Let 'Volir was given yet another chance to redeem himself on Installation 00.

[[Castor]] pretended that he wasn't which was soon contradicted by a later statement made by [[Blademaster]] [[Inslaan 'Gadogai]]. Nevertheless, while suspicious, he allowed the ship to pass through his air traffic.

Following the [[Battle of Epsilon Clarion]] and the loss of the [[Clan of the Long Shields]], Pavium and Voridus decide to report to 'Volir that they had held the other two factions off long enough for the ''Spirit of Fire'' to launch its bombardment, knowing that there is no else around to contradict their claims.{{Ref/Reuse|DW}} | Following the [[Battle of Epsilon Clarion]] and the loss of the [[Clan of the Long Shields]], Pavium and Voridus decide to report to 'Volir that they had held the other two factions off long enough for the ''Spirit of Fire'' to launch its bombardment, knowing that there is no else around to contradict their claims.{{Ref/Reuse|DW}} | ||
