As the team made their way back, they were engaged by Intrepid Eye, now housed in an [[inspection drone]]. Intrepid, hoping to hack into [[Fred-104]]'s armor, communicated with Roams Alone in an attempt to get him away from combat, but the Huragok was more concerned with continuing to tend to Olivia's injures.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 200''</ref> Intrepid was subsequently subdued by Fred with a [[scramble grenade]], but the drone retained enough power to continue communicating to Roams. The humans were aware that Intrepid was speaking to Roams, but could not do anything about it due to not understanding Huragok sign language.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 202''</ref>

On the surface, war had broken out as the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] engage the UNSC for capture of the Forerunner ancilla.

With Gao reinforcements approaching, the UNSC forces were ordered to retreat, including Veta and the Spartans. Roams accompanied them as they fled on [[M12 Warthog|Warthogs]], but the group was pursued by [[Wyvern]] aircraft. Forced to flee their vehicles, Veta retreated into the jungle with the Huragok, but it slipped free of her tethers and began exploring the jungle. Deeming it too great a risk to retrieve it without alerting the Wyverns, the humans reluctantly let him go. Roams was last seen by them treating wild birds and gesturing to Veta in a way that suggested "goodbye".<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 342''</ref>
 
Following the conclusion of the Battle of Gao, Roams encountering the wounded leadership of the Keepers of the One Freedom, [[Orsun]] and [[Castor]]. The Huragok treated Castor's injuries, and Orsun attempted to capture it for their troops. However, Orsun demanded he let Roams Alone return to the jungle, viewing him as a grace from the Forerunners.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 389''</ref>
