The Arbiter entered the room just as Sesa 'Refumee was about to board the Seraph. Raising his Carbine, 'Vadamee demanded his enemy to turn and face him. The heretic leader jumped down from the fighter, telling 'Vadamee that he would rather die by the Arbiter's hand rather than die blinded by falsehoods conveyed by the Prophets. 'Vadamee demanded to know who had taught the heretic the lies that he preached, to which 343 Guilty Spark revealed himself to the surprise of the Arbiter. While 'Refumee told the Arbiter to ask the Oracle about Halo and its true purpose, the heretic used the Arbiter's surprise to draw his dual {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}}s and opened fire on 'Vadamee, who was forced to fall back into cover behind a nearby pillar. 'Refumee used his [[antigravity pack]] to return to the Seraph. Declaring that the Sangheili species was blinded to the Prophet's lies and his intention to make them see the truth, the heretic activated a pair of holo-drones which floated into position in front of the Arbiter, each one equipped with their own pair of plasma rifles.{{Ref/Reuse|Oracle}} | The Arbiter entered the room just as Sesa 'Refumee was about to board the Seraph.

As the Arbiter fought against the heretic leader and his holographic decoys, 'Refumee continued to taunt the Covenant soldier, mockingly asking how the Hierarchs had secured his loyalty, as well as the supposed "transcendence" of the Forerunners and the Covenant's "Great Journey". Guilty Spark also spoke to the Arbiter during the battle, notifying him of his personal involvement in the gas mines retrofitting as a Flood research facility, as well as the detachment of the gas mine as a failsafe to be used in the event of the parasite's escape. After a protracted battle, the Arbiter was successful in slaying Sesa 'Refumee. As 'Vadamee dragged the heretic's corpse to the opening hangar door, Guilty Spark expressed remorse for the killing of 'Refumee, to which the Arbiter replied that it was his only choice due to the threat the heretic posed to the Covenant and its beliefs. The monitor expressed bemusement at the phrases of "Oracle" and "Great Journey", stating them to be wildly inaccurate, before he was suddenly captured in a gravitational force projected by [[Tartarus]]' [[ | As the Arbiter fought against the heretic leader and his holographic decoys, 'Refumee continued to taunt the Covenant soldier, mockingly asking how the Hierarchs had secured his loyalty, as well as the supposed "transcendence" of the Forerunners and the Covenant's "Great Journey".

The monitor was sent hurtling towards the [[Jiralhanae]]'s hammer. As Tartarus pulled Guilty Spark off the head of his hammer and casually threw him into the [[gravity lift]] of the waiting Phantom, 'Vadamee expressed outrage in the Chieftain's handling of the monitor, to which Tartarus merely told him to board the Phantom as they were leaving the [[Soell system]].{{Ref/Reuse|Oracle}} | ||
