While on her way to the lifeboats, Stone held a collapsing beam so [[Lucas Browning]] could reach [[TJ Murphy]]'s [[SKT-29 Bumblebee|Bumblebee]] ''[[Papa Tango Delta 09]]'', the companion lifeboat to Stone's ''[[Echo India Bravo 08]]''.

On April 23, when Spartan Stone was scouting out the Banished outpost, she recognized Browning in the outpost from afar, then returned to Kovan to share her findings. That evening, while Stone provided overwatch, Kovan snuck into Outpost Tremonius and into the Phantom that held Browning. He couldn't be rescued, however, as the [[Harbinger]] and the Banished had put a pair of shackles on Browning's wrists, with a node on the Phantom's hull that would detect the sensors and detonate explosives within the shackles if Browning leaves the Phantom. Browning informed Kovan of the Harbinger, and opted to stay under captivity. Kovan gave him several recording transmitters, instructing Browning to learn whatever he could about the Harbinger or the Banished, and left a tracking beacon to Browning's neck. The Spartan made a promise to find Browning, then left as a pair of Jiralhanae patrol approached.{{Ref/Reuse|rp26}} Seeing two Jiralhanae patrols approaching Kovan,{{Ref/Reuse|rp26}} Stone created a distraction to allow Kovan to escape, but was unable to regroup with Kovan, because the Banished was tracking her closely; instead, she decided to investigate the Banished excavation.{{Ref/Reuse|rp28}} She found that the Banished has unearthed [[Cylix|artifacts she has never seen before]], and reported to Makovich and Sorel that the Banished were moving focus to [[Site Novem|an excavation site south of the ''Reverie'']].{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #02 - What Lies Beneath}}

By April 26, Stone had infiltrated the underground Forerunner structures near Outpost Tremonius, having seen the artifacts up close and determined them to be stasis pods. She made one final transmission to Makovich and Sorel, reporting her findings, including picking [[The Weapon|a UNSC signal]] coming from inside the facility, but stopped short when she realized that she was not alone.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #05 - Uncharted}} Shortly after, Stone discovered the Banished using a human prisoner to access the [[Conspectus network]]; they took a data node with information on the ring's defensive systems and location. Stone attacked the Banished and [[Skimmer]] forces, including [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] and the Bloodstar [[Gorian]]. After she fought off multiple Banished, Stone fought 'Rdomnai directly, hampered by his active camouflage, shields and the damage that her armor had taken over the past several months. However, Stone managed to steal the data node and had [[Ouco]] copy the data and then corrupt the node. Ouco was successful before Gorian slammed into Stone with a [[Riuctda Workshop Ghost|Ghost]] and dragged her back towards the lift before Stone managed to break free and jerk the Bloodstar from the Ghost. Fighting through more Banished forces, including [[Hectarius]], Stone attempted to reach the surface, but she was ambushed and killed by 'Rdomnai. As Stone's last act, she removed the corrupted data node which was taken by Gorian and 'Rdomnai to Escharum, unaware of Stone's sabotage. Stone died pleased that she had succeeded in throwing a wrench into Escharum's grand scheme.{{Ref/Reuse|rp28}}

The next day, the [[boat crew]] found Stone's body and a grieving Kovan retrieved Stone's data chip from her VISR which proved to contain the data that she had stolen from the Banished. [[Submonitor]] [[091 Adjutant Veridity]] later revealed that Stone had stolen from the Banished information on the ring's defensive systems and its current coordinates, giving the team the chance to broadcast a message to the UNSC for reinforcements. However, with Banished forces closing in, the boat crew reluctantly left Stone's body behind.{{Ref/Reuse|rp30}} Her body remained underground, and was found on May 28 by [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]], who collected her [[Overshield|enhanced shielding]] module.{{Ref/Reuse|foundation}}
