The battle continued for months draining strength of both sides. Eventually two months after the departure of Installation 09, Atriox gathered a salvage operation and sent them to scout the area near the wreckage of ''[[High Charity]]'' with a warning not to go inside. Arriving at the area, Banished forces under command of Brute brothers [[Voridus]] and [[Pavium]] disabled the Sentinel defense network around ''High Charity''. In order to salvage something valuable, Voridus breached the energy barrier and entered the destroyed Covenant holy city, despite Atriox's warning. However that breach provided an exit to the [[Flood]], which had built itself up from [[Flood spore|spores]] that had survived the detonation of ''High Charity'''s backup reactor and the firing of [[Installation 08]] in 2552 at the end of the Human-Covenant War.<ref name="WN">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/introducing-halo-wars-2-awakening-the-nightmare '''Halo Waypoint''' ''- Introducing Halo Wars 2: Awakening the Nightmare'']</ref> Flood forces managed to push back the Banished and take a hold over territory around ''High Charity'', creating a [[Proto-Gravemind]]. Ultimately the survivng Banished forces reactivated the Forerunner defenses and with their help destroyed the Proto-Gravemind before it became a [[Gravemind]]. Not pleased with their loses, Atriox ordered his lieutenants to secure the breach in the barrier, while the Ark's Sentinels would neutralize all escaped Flood forces.<ref name="Manifestation">'''[[Halo Wars 2]]''', campaign level ''[[Manifestation]]''</ref>
