By middle 2558, the tension between humans and Sangheili on the planet [[Carrow]], reached critical point. To de-escalate the situation the UNSC sent a [[UEG]] envoy, [[Melody Azikiwe]]. However, one of the influential Sangheili, [[Thars 'Sarov]] was against this alliance. He cut a secret deal with Jiralhanae chieftain [[Hekabe]] to aid him in his upcoming uprising. On September 1, with no warning, Thars and his followers attacked other Sangheili who were looking to make peace with the humans, including his own cousin, fleetmaster [[Rojka 'Kasaan]]. The attack provided an opportunity for the Brutes to begin their invasion of the planet. They managed to destroy all communications hubs and every slipspace capable transport, forcing the citizens of [[Suraka]] to hide in underground bunkers. Unknown to Thars, Hekabe had his own motive for coming to Carrow-he wanted to uncover a Forerunner facility, buried beneath the surface, housing hundreds of [[Sharquoi]], which he planned to use against every Sangheili who | By middle 2558, the tension between humans and Sangheili on the planet [[Carrow]], reached a critical point.

Unknown to Thars, Hekabe had his own motive for coming to Carrow - he wanted to uncover a Forerunner facility, buried beneath the surface, housing hundreds of [[Sharquoi]], which he planned to use against every Sangheili who stood in his way of restoring the Jiralhanae's might. | ||

As Thars attacked Rojka's people, Melody managed to get to the Spartans' [[cryo-chamber]]s and wake them. Gray Team made it through numerous Sangheili, who were fighting each other, and escaped the ''Discipline'' with an injured Melody before the cruiser crash-landed on the surface of Carrow. On the ground, Melody revealed to the Spartans her ONI ties, and persuaded them to go to a local secret ONI base, [[Gila Station]]. On their way there, the team was chased by Rojka's surviving people, who in turn were being chased by Thars. When Gray Team and Melody reached the facility, they discovered that Brutes had already unearthed the Forerunner installation and were about to reach their goal. Melody convinced the Spartans to help the Surrakans and kill Hekabe before he unleashed the Sharquoi. Gray Team commandeered a Warthog and headed to Suraka before the station was attacked by Thars's people. The base was destroyed, but Melody was rescued by Rojka, who heard her speaking about Sharquoi, and decided to aid the humans in order to protect his home in Rak. | ||
Arriving in Suraka, Gray Team regrouped with local militia and developed a plan to terminate Hekabe. The Spartans, under cover of the Surakans and the last of Rojka's people, located Hekabe. [[Adriana-111]] shot him in the eye with a sniper rifle, but, due to his augmentations, provided by [[Vertex]], Hekade survived the hit and returned to the Forerunner facility under the protection of Sharquoi. Melody suggested they should gain help from Thars in order to prevent Sharquoi from leaving this world. However their meeting ended with deaths of Elites including Thars himself. In final attempt to stop Hekabe Gray Team along with Melody and Rojka teamed up with Governor [[Ellis Gass]], who planned to infiltrate the Forerunner facility, cut through the Sharquoi, and use an [[M68 Gauss cannon|gauss cannon]] mounted on a [[M121 Jackrabbit]] and powered by [[Havok]] mine against Hekabe. As they reached the Chieftain and fired the gauss cannon, an electromagnetic pulse severed his connection with the Sharquoi, leaving him vulnerable. The Governor then got to Hekabe and tore the Vertex from his head, adjusting it to her own. She used it to make the Sharquoi attack Hekabe and throw him into a pit of lava. She then summoned all remaining Sharquoi to the heart of facility and activated the Havok mine, providing the others time to evacuate. As Gray Team, Melody and Rojka escaped, Ellis detonated the Havok mine, destroying the facility and all its secrets. | Arriving in Suraka, Gray Team regrouped with local militia and developed a plan to terminate Hekabe.

After a few days, Gray Team and Melody returned to {{UNSCShip|Welcome to the Snipehunt}}, where the Spartans were offered a choice of reintegration with the UNSC as part of a specialized interspecies strike team under the Office of Naval Intelligence to continue operating deep in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]]. The Spartans reluctantly agreed to work for ONI, asking for a prowler of their own. | After a few days, Gray Team and Melody returned to the {{UNSCShip|Welcome to the Snipehunt}}, where the Spartans were offered a choice of reintegration with the UNSC as part of a specialized interspecies strike team under the Office of Naval Intelligence to continue operating deep in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]].
