— Escharum to John-117 during the conflict.

At some point around May 28, 2560, a resurgent conflict took place on Installation 07 between the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and the Banished.

Background

Circa December 13, 2559, at a prior battle for the ring, UNSC forces and Banished forces fought one another. The UNSC forces were defeated and the ring was damaged in the battle. The survivors who landed on the ring were all but wiped out, and those that were left were captured.

Echo 216 while floating above the ring would find a floating John-117. After bringing him aboard and a power transfer, John-117 would reactivate.

Battle

Crash landing

On May 28, 2560, Echo 216 crash landed on the ring after taking anti-aircraft fire. John and the pilot of the Pelican argued before arriving at a plan: the SPARTAN would take out the AA guns then the duo would attempt to retrieve a working Condor. John-117 left the wreck finding an M12B Warthog. With possession of "The Weapon", he proceeded to one of the AA guns and wanted to have her hack it. He would fight Banished forces along the way.

Events in the facilities

At one point, John-117 entered into a Forerunner facility on the ring with numerous Banished standing guard.

John-117 also traveled to a Control room-like facility on the ring.

Other events

During one particular battle, the Master Chief rescued Echo 216's pilot and killed the Banished War Chief Escharum.

During the battle, John-117 and the Banished allied Harbinger fought one another.
