During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the [[Prophet of Stewardship]] sent an team led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]] and [[Loka 'Bandolee]] to the gas mine to recover [[Forerunner]] artifacts.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''' (2010), ''Adjunct''</ref> When the ring was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]], this artifact retrieval team survived aboard the gas mine. Some time later, 343 Guilty Spark, the monitor of Installation 04, arrived at the gas mine. The monitor, whom the Covenant forces regarded as an "Oracle", informed them of the true nature of the Halo array: the rings would not propel the Covenant's faithful along the [[Covenant religion|Great Journey]], but would instead kill all sentient life in [[milky Way|the galaxy]]. This inspired 'Refumee and most, if not all the retrieval team, to refute the Great Journey. They soon began using the installation's technology to broadcast their message and to denounce the [[San 'Shyuum|Prophets]] as liars.<ref name="Arbiter"/><ref name="Oracle"/> | During the [[Battle of Installation 04]], the [[Prophet of Stewardship]] sent an team led by [[Sesa 'Refumee]] and [[Loka 'Bandolee]] to the gas mine to recover [[Forerunner]] artifacts.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Flood]]''' (2010), ''Adjunct''</ref> When the ring was destroyed by [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]], this artifact retrieval team survived aboard the gas mine.

The team fortified their hold of the gas mine, establishing several [[Shade]] turrets on the outside of the mine's various structures, as well as patrolling the premises with [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]]. In defiance to the Covenant, they dressed in armor reminiscent of that traditionally worn by the [[Sangheili]] on their [[Sanghelios|homeworld]]. 343 Guilty Spark reinforced these defenses with the gas mine's [[Sentinel]]s. | The team fortified their hold of the gas mine, establishing several [[Shade]] turrets on the outside of the mine's various structures, as well as patrolling the premises with [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]].
