The humans flee but are cornered by two [[Sangheili Zealot]]s. However, an [[Aggressor Sentinel]] kill both Zealots then speaks in the voice of the [[Custodian]] of the Absolute Record. After Halsey shut down its main body and took control of the Record, a failsafe activated that put a fragment of the custodian in the mind of a local Sentinel. Asking their help to restore it to its body, the Sentinel leads the humans to a secure location.


Meanwhile aboard the ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]'', which is parked on a moon of the Record for repairs, [[Sali 'Nyon]] mobilizes his rebellion aboard the ship. He takes [[Ayit 'Sevi]]'s advice to raid Jul's vault in the ship full of [[Forerunner]] artifacts from [[Requiem]]. His followers cause panic aboard the ship, and Jul's forces on the ''Breath'' call for their field scouts at the moon's swamps to return to the ship to help them. However, the surviving Kig-Yar of the two that [[Gabriel Thorne|Thorne]] fought refuses to return, instead out to hunt the Spartan for the death of his friend. Thorne opens fire on the Jackal but gets stuck in the swamp, almost allowing the Jackal to kill him. He manages to shoot its head, but it falls on him and he continues to sink the swamp.
