In [[2558#November|November of 2558]], the Banished arrived in force at [[Installation 00]] aboard the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]''. Decimus personally led the subsequent attack on the [[human]]s at the [[Henry Lamb Research Outpost]]. He and a contingent of Banished ground forces massacred everyone in sight easily. Following this, Decimus was charged with establishing a system of power extraction and excavation across multiple sites on the Ark. In addition to plundering the massive [[Forerunner]] installation's resources, he also directed the collection of salvage left over from the prior [[Battle of Installation 00]] in [[2552]]. Over the next few months, these endeavors grew in scope. Accessing a [[Cartographer]] allowed the Banished to take control of the installation's local [[portal]] network, which made travel and coordination between many sites much more effective. | In [[2558#November|November of 2558]], the Banished arrived in force at [[Installation 00]] aboard the ''[[Enduring Conviction]]''.

When the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at the Ark on [[2559#March|March 28, 2559]], one of the first things the Banished were required to defend was one of these sites where Decimus was in charge of resource gathering. Around R-6029-4452 according to a [[Sangheili]] method of keeping time, a base under the control of Decimus was destroyed by [[Jerome-092]] and [[Strike One]]. At first, the Jiralhanae general was unaware as to why contact had been lost with his contacts at the base, but it wasn't long before the attack and the humans' presence became known to him. At first, he called for [[shipmaster]] [[Let 'Volir]] to target a newly-built UNSC [[firebase]] with [[pulse laser turret]]s as a short show of force. As the [[marine]]s and the Spartan were undissuaded, however, Decimus finally appeared on the battlefield himself. From the ground, Decimus not only took on the many fighters himself in close-quarters combat, but also repeatedly ordered the shipmaster to target his own location briefly and with precision, as he was protected from the lasers by a powerful [[energy shield]] that his mechanized power armor could encapsulate him in for short periods. When it became clear that he would not be able to fend off the attack, Decimus retreated but the ''Enduring Conviction'' continued to bombard the area, killing UNSC and Banished troops alike, ostensibly to keep the humans from learning anything from the operation. He was ordered to report to Atriox immediately following this loss. | When the {{UNSCship|Spirit of Fire}} arrived at the Ark on [[2559#March|March 28, 2559]], one of the first things the Banished were required to defend was one of these sites where Decimus was in charge of resource gathering.
