After the [[Requiem Campaign|events]] on [[Requiem]] and Jul 'Mdama allied himself with Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]], Sali began questioning 'Mdama's true intentions. Sali started to recruit his own followers, viewing himself as the true Hand of the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]], and plotted against Jul. By [[2558#July|July 2558]], amidst the [[Battle of Aktis IV]], his followers were identified by 'Mdama's forces. During the battle, after 'Mdama's forces tricked the UNSC into delivering their half of the [[Janus Key]] to [[Aktis IV]]'s surface, 'Nyon's followers shot down the [[D79-TC Pelican]] carrying the Key. This led to confusion among 'Mdama's ranks, whom recognized the attack to be unauthorized by 'Mdama. Nonetheless, 'Mdama's fleet proceeded with their planned attack on the orbiting {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} ahead of schedule. Meanwhile, 'Nyon made his way to the Pelican's crash site and retrieved the UNSC's half of the Janus Key for himself. | After the [[Requiem Campaign|events]] on [[Requiem]] and [[Jul 'Mdama]] allied himself with Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]], Sali began questioning 'Mdama's true intentions.

Traveling to the surface of Aktis IV himself, 'Mdama and his forces began to eliminate 'Nyon's insurgents. 'Nyon broadcasted a message across Jul's entire fleet to incite them to join him in rebellion. 'Nyon, with his half of the Janus Key, retreated to his hideout in a jungle. A [[Sangheili Zealot]] approached him about the feasibility of continuing the rebellion, to which 'Nyon responded by reassuring his followers that the Forerunners had blessed them, citing his recovery of half of the Janus Key as proof. A [[Sangheili Minor]] stated that the [[Promethean]]s' allegiance to Jul 'Mdama was evidence to the contrary, but 'Nyon insisted that the answers to their questions would all be revealed in time.

The Minor contacted a Zealot serving under 'Mdama, and promised to provide the stolen Janus Key half and 'Nyon's location of his hideout. The Zealot reluctantly agreed and prepared to establish a rendezvous point.<ref name="HE15"/> | ||
Not much later, 'Mdama's forces would discover 'Nyon's hideout. Most, if not all, of his followers were killed, and 'Nyon himself was imprisoned. His rebellion had effectively came to an end.

For the next two months, Jul kept 'Nyon incarcerated in a holding cell aboard his personal [[flagship]], ''[[Song of Retribution]]''.

On [[2558|September 17, 2558]], Jul's fleet jumped into slipspace and exited near a portal to the Absolute Record. Some of 'Mdama's ships were damaged and destroyed when multiple slipspace portals unexpectedly appeared. Before Jul 'Mdama continued forward toward their destination, Sali 'Nyon and other [[Convict|prisoners]] were temporarily transferred off of the ''Retribution'' to the carrier ''[[Breath of Annihilation]]'' as it docked to make needed repairs. It was then that [[Ayit 'Sevi]], a Sangheili covertly working with the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], sought to utilize 'Nyon in making a distraction while he found a way to call in UNSC reinforcements.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 20|Issue #20]]''</ref> With the crew of ''Annihilation'' in disarray and discontent, mutiny began to break out amongst the troops. Ayit 'Sevi managed to fuel the spark rebellion by freeing Sali 'Nyon from the ship's [[holding chamber]]s and successfully reigniting 'Nyon's religious fervor.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 22|Issue #22]]''</ref> As 'Mdama's loyalists began to retreat, 'Nyon sought to firmly establish his authority over his faithful soldiers. Having rallied his followers, 'Nyon launched an assault toward ''Annihilation'''s vaults in order to claim Jul's repository of Forerunner artifacts from Requiem.<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 23|Issue #23]]''</ref> | |||
