[[John-117]] tracked the UNSC signal to a [[Banished]] facility known as the Tower. Its warden, [[Chak 'Lok]], denied the Spartan access into the Tower by putting the outpost on lockdown. With guidance from [[the Weapon]], John-117 lifted the lockdown, and entered the Tower via the gravity lift at its base. Inside, John-117 discovered Spartan [[Hudson Griffin]] being restrained and tortured. Although Chak 'Lok intervened, he was killed in battle against John-117. Upon being freed, Griffin told John-117 of the Banished's search for the [[Conservatory (location)|Conservatory]] at the excavation site north of the Tower, but passed away shortly. | |||
