Acting on Spartan [[Hudson Griffin|Griffin]]'s information, [[John-117]] and [[the Weapon]] investigated [[Site Novem]], a Banished excavation site. At the seemingly deserted dig site, they found that the Banished's mining laser had cut through Forerunner columns into a [[Conservatory (location)|subterranean structure]]. Before they could enter, the mining laser activated, preventing the Spartan from entering the tunnel. After analysis by the Weapon, John-117 destroyed the mining laser's cooling pylons.
