Fighting through the Promethean forces, the team was finally contacted by Cortana, who expressed relief and joy to see them, and explained that she had survived by being pulled into slipspace aboard a chunk of the [[Mantles Approach]] and arriving on Genesis, where accessing the Domain "cured" her of her [[rampancy]].<ref name="h5greunion"/> Moreover, she explained that a cure for rampancy had inspired her to take up the [[Mantle of Responsibility]] herself, to use her ability to strategise and coordinate in the long term to benefit the galaxy and usher in an age of peace and stability.<ref name="h5greunion"/> Fred thought the idea had some merit, and didn't understand why the Warden expected them to oppose it, but the Master Chief asserted that the example of the Didact showed that the Mantle could lead to brutal imperialist oppression, a suggestion which Cortana dismissed off-handedly.<ref name="h5greunion"/> Blue Team managed to acquire Promethean [[Phaeton]]s for part of the trek to the [[Gateway]], with Fred commenting that they had some experience commandeering enemy vehicles.<ref name="h5greunion"/> Reaching the Gateway, Blue Team stepped through another slipspace portal to another part of the planet.<ref name="h5greunion"/>
