==Summary==
==Summary==
At the [[Apex Site]], the [[Prophet of Regret]] examines Professor [[Ellen Anders]] with amusement, noting how frail she appears and how little of a threat Anders appears to pose. Regret is further amused by Anders' demands to know why she is being held prisoner, but they are interrupted by a [[Sangheili]] with news that the {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} is approaching the entrance portal to [[Trove|the]] [[shield world]]. The enraged [[Ripa 'Moramee|Arbiter]] orders the [[Hierarch]] returned to ''[[High Charity]]'' and for the human ship to be intercepted and destroyed.

The ''Spirit of Fire'' holds station above an ocean that [[Serina]] tells Captain [[James Cutter]] is where Anders' transponder signal is coming from. As Serina runs a scan of the location, she suddenly begins muttering about "docking" and "cleansing" before announcing that Cutter won't like what's coming. The ocean splits down the middle, revealing an entrance tunnel that [[Sentinel]]s emerge from, scanning the ship. The ship begins to be pulled towards the tunnel with Serina unable to stop it and with people still on the planet. Cutter orders Serina to hold station for as long as she can and to recall their people on the surface.

* The name of the beginning cutscene, "Open Sesame Part 2", is a reference to [[Relic Approach|the first time "open sesame" was said in ''Halo Wars'']], which is muttered by John Forge when he saw the Covenant opening the [[Relic]] on [[Harvest]].

* This is the first of the two levels in campaign in which Forge is not present in gameplay, the other being the last level, ''[[Escape (Halo Wars level)|Escape]]''. This is likely explained by narratively Forge being onboard the ''Spirit'' as depicted in the opening cutscene. Despite Forge's absence on the ground, in-game characters still referred the ground commander as "Forge" or "Sergeant".
