{{Quote|Four days ago, I linked up with some marines who had observed the Banished collecting and salvaging UNSC hardware at a nearby outpost. First I've heard of 'em doing that. But if the Banished really are as stranded on this Ring as we are they might be running low on raw materials and recycling UNSC scraps to make ends meet.|[[First Lieutenant]] [[Floyd (Installation 07)|Floyd]] reporting on Ransom Keep.{{Ref/Game|Id=Making Ends Meet|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Outpost Intel 3|UNSC Audio log|Detail=Outpost Intel #10 - Making Ends Meet}}}}

When the Master Chief arrived at Ransom Keep, the guards lowered the four fuel silos in an effort to protect them. However, the Chief breached the facility's perimeter, fought his way through the guards, and raised and destroyed each silo. The Banished sent reinforcements to defend the Keep, but the Chief defeated them. He then located and disabled both repair bays. The loss of the silos and repair bays effectively put Ransom Keep out of commission.{{Ref/Reuse|Ransom Keep}}
