At the seemingly deserted dig site, they found that the Banished's mining laser had cut through Forerunner columns into a [[Conservatory (location)|subterranean structure]]. Before they could enter, the mining laser activated, preventing the Spartan from entering the tunnel. After analysis by the Weapon, John-117 destroyed the mining laser's cooling pylons. When he returned to the mining laser's control room, he was met by the dig site commander [[Bassus]]. The two fought, with the Spartan emerging victorious. John-117 shut down the laser, and prepared to enter the tunnel.{{Ref/Reuse|HI}} | ||
