On that day, [[Kig-Yar]] [[pirate]] [[Sav Fel]] [[Glassing|glassed]] [[Forerunner]] ruins on [[Shaps III]] with {{Class|CCS|battlecruiser}} ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]''. [[Line Installation 444-447]] on the planet responded to the destruction by sending an automated distress signal to [[Covert Support Base 4276]] on the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]]. When the support facility received the signal, {{Class|archeon|ancilla}} [[Intrepid Eye]] was released from stasis. She attempted to reach the Forerunner [[ecumene]] by sending out a distress signal herself. However, the signal was only detected by Nelson. Nelson hypothesized that the signals emanating from Gao was caused by the glassing of the ruins on Shaps III and correctly guessed that there was a Forerunner [[ancilla]] on Gao. Nelson managed to persuade his superiors into trusting his theory, leading to the [[Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence|Commander-in-Chief of ONI]]—[[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]]—giving Nelson command of the [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]]. She attached [[Blue Team]] to the [[battalion]] and sent the unit to Gao to [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE|locate and capture the ancilla]].{{Ref/Reuse|ll28}} | ||

Realizing that the UNSC was searching for her, Intrepid Eye began murdering Gao citizens in the [[Montero Cave System]] hoping that the planet's residents would blame the murders on the UNSC and force them to leave the planet.
