In [[2558]], [[Outer Colonies]] ambassador [[Richard Sekibo]] discovered that members of [[Sapien Sunrise]] were plotting to attack a peace conference he had established between the UEG and the [[Sangheili]] on [[Biko]]. Sekibo contacted the senate and asked for aid, but the UEG did not think the extremist organization was a threat and denied his request. During the peace conference, Sapien Sunrise members infiltrated Sekibo's security forces and were intending to assassinate both the human and Sangheili delegates. However, the embassy was "[[Raid on Biko peace talks|attacked]]" by rogue Spartan [[John-117]] and the disguised extremeists were killed. Though Sekibo was mortally wounded, the Spartan escorted the Sangheili off-world; unaware of Sapien Sunrise's plot, John was blamed for the attack. | In [[2558]], [[Outer Colonies]] ambassador [[Richard Sekibo]] discovered that members of [[Sapien Sunrise]] were plotting to attack a peace conference he had established between the UEG and the [[Sangheili]] on [[Biko]].

The senate meeting was between the senators on the Senate Armed Forces Committee and three of ONI's six directors, along with ONI Commander [[Michael Sullivan]]. However, the proceedings were interrupted by journalist [[Benjamin Giraud]]; Giraud was given access to the congressional chamber's main display screen by an [[Insurrectionist]] leader known as "[[FERO]]". Giraud informed the senators of ONI's method of conscription for the SPARTAN-II program and the aftermath of the abductions. Giraud sent the senators files containing proof to back his claims, before his feed was cut off by ONI. | The senate meeting was between the senators on the Senate Armed Forces Committee and three of ONI's six directors, along with ONI Commander [[Michael Sullivan]].
