He, Tyla, and hundreds of other civilians were captured by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] and incarcerated in a sports stadium. The Covenant demanded the Key of Osanalan. The aliens were not aware that the object was fictional; Ruwan recognized the object from his childhood and realized that his brother had given him a chance to escape.<ref name="Issue 3"/> | ||

Although initially hostile to the civilian, Twyker realized the significance of the fake Key and, in conjunction with Wesley, devised a plan to use this knowledge to their advantage. The Marines contacted the Covenant and informed them that they had the Key, requesting a meeting to hand over the Key. Ruwan volunteered to partake in the meeting despite the protests of Tyla, and was injected with [[Tykos 30]], an organic tracking material. He then was taken to the agreed upon meeting place at [[wikipedia:Chagrin Falls|Chagrin Falls]], where a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] demanded he give them the key. Ruwan hesitated, and then told the Covenant that ''he'' was the Key.<ref name="Issue 4">'''Halo Uprising''', ''[[Halo: Uprising Issue 4|Issue 4]]''</ref> | Although initially hostile to the civilian, Twyker realized the significance of the fake Key and, in conjunction with Wesley, devised a plan to use this knowledge to their advantage.
