Mahkee seeks confirmation on a critical transmission's authenticity. 'Tylk verifies the signature of 'Kasaan aboard the vessel of origin. With confirmation at hand, Mahkee orders her crew to contact the summit-masters and ensure that [[Banshee]] talons are ready at the designated coordinates. Her thoughts quickly shift to how their ground ops could conclude and how they might influence broader strategies in their ongoing conflict. As she begins to calculate probability metrics, 'Tyik interrupts, announcing an incoming transmission from the Shipmaster of a Banished dreadnought. Bracing herself for what she anticipates will be an enlightening conversation, Mahkee orders the transmission to be put through, revealing a bulky hunched Sangheili in golden armor. Mahkee is momentarily surprised, having expected a Jiralhanae Shipmaster as dreadnoughts hold cultural significance for their species, especially after the [[Razing of Oth Sonin]]. | Mahkee seeks confirmation on a critical transmission's authenticity.

The Sangheili introduces himself as [[Orna 'Fulsam]], High Warlord of the Banished, casually greeting Mahkee. Unmoved with his title, she tersely asks what he wants. Orna acknowledges the strength of their forces and suggests that conventional victory is impossible for Mahkee's fleet. Mahkee, holding his gaze, remarks that while his fleet has certain advantages, she hopes he did not interrupt her preparations just to boast. Orna then proposes avoiding unnecessary bloodshed among their kind by insinuating that Mahkee step aside and allow the Banished to take Suban. He further offers that if Mahkee pledges allegiance to the Banished, only the Demons desecrating Suban would need to perish. Intrigued but wary, Mahkee asks if he refers to the Spartans, to which Orna bitterly clarifies that he means the humans, whom he blames along with the Arbiter for the [[Blooding Years]]. The Shipmistress senses the madness in Orna's hatred. The Shipmaster, defiant and standing straighter, begins to deliver what seems to be a prepared speech, but Mahkee, resigned, prepares herself to endure it. | The Sangheili introduces himself as [[Orna 'Fulsam]], [[High Warlord]] of the Banished, casually greeting Mahkee.

Back on the ground, the [[Shua'ree]] mission requires precise execution, so Dahks coordinates with Fahl, Glyyss, and Trell to eliminate the Banished's outer patrol at the mining site. Fahl silently kills a Sangheili mercenary while Glyyss neutralizes another target, clearing the way for the next phase. Fahl signals ''Scorrin's Blade'', and Banshee attack flyers descend, targeting kemuksuru-loaded siege-haulers. The explosions throw the mine into chaos, further amplified by sniper fire from Dahks and Trell. Fahl gives 'Kasaan the greenlight, and a Phantom rises, releasing Sangheili warriors and Spartans Jaarov and Zhinn to engage the Banished. Despite being outnumbered, the Swords capitalize on the confusion, holding their ground. Amid the chaos, [[Koal 'Mal]], a hulking Sangheili, fights with a fury fueled by his hatred for those who betrayed their kind by siding with the Banished. The battle intensifies when Fahl encounters Chieftain [[Ipso]], a formidable Jiralhanae leader who taunts Fahl over the Sangheili's internal conflicts. | Back on the ground, the [[Shua'ree]] mission requires precise execution, so Dahks coordinates with Fahl, Glyyss, and Trell to eliminate the Banished's outer patrol at the mining site.
