The Master Chief armed the KM Rifle, "Brutes! The faster you kill those Gaurds, the Better." Cortana advised. "They dont have their Teleportation generators but take'em out before....." The Brutes go berserk, the Warp Gaurds give them covering fire. "It's berserking." Cortana warned, Master Chief fired on the Brutes first, then used to Grenade Launcher to take out the Warp Guards. He kills one, and gets his Surge Gun to kill the other. After the Battle is finished, Tartarus is heard over a loudspeaker, warning all Covenant and Krone forces. "The Demon has infiltrated the council Chamber!?!? Protect the Hierachs, Seal the exits."

"Oh, I dont think so." Cortana tauntingly joked. Covenant Grunts and Krone Gaurds come out the Closet doors, along with Brutes. He kills them all, and heads over to a pedestal. "Put me down on one of the pedestals near the door." Cortana asked. He does so, and Cortana tells him the following:

"That Prophet ... Truth, he has the Index. You've got to take it from him. Let me get these doors. Go! It will be easier to track Truth if I stay in the network."

Master Chief stays, and looks at Cortana sadly. "Don't worry, you can pick me up later." Cortana explained. The Door opens, and Master Chief goes through many corridors fighting through Covenant. Tartarus orders the Covenant over the loud speaker, "Reinforce all approaches to the holding pens, slay the demon on site." Cortana warns him, "I'm beefing up there patrols, stay sharp."

Along the way, Cortana contacts him. "Wait a minute! I'm reading Marine and Occupant IFF transponders. Signals are originating somewhere below your position, there's another lift in the next room." He rides the Grav lift down.
