As the ship made its way through the tunnel, the ancilla detected a "high order" [[The Flood|Flood]] infection, as well as intrusion by [[human]]s, though the ancilla did not recognize the latter. The AI initiated "Stage 3 Defense Protocols", which included activating [[Sentinel]]s, [[Super Sentinel]]s, and cleansing rings to clear away the Flood and the "unknown alien intrusion".<ref name="Cleansing"/> It was most likely destroyed when the shield world was obliterated by a [[supernova]] caused by ''Spirit of Fire'''s crew. | ||

This ancilla's voice did not resemble those of most other known Forerunner AIs. While ancillas like the [[monitor]]s have more natural-sounding voices, this construct spoke in a robotic monotone. It may have been a Forerunner counterpart to a human [[Dumb AI|"dumb" AI]], as it did not recognize the humans on its installation as [[Reclaimer]]s, instead referring to them as "unknown aliens". | This ancilla's voice did not resemble those of most other known Forerunner AIs, with the exception of [[Mendicant Bias]].
