On [[2553#July|July 2, 2553]], [[Major]] [[Ira Halal]] of the [[UNSC Judge Advocate General's Corps]] learned that a new murder victim was just found by UNSC personnel and sought to investigate the scene before the GMoP, taking [[Private]] [[Hayes]] and a fragment of Wendell in his [[TACPAD]] with him.<ref name="ll31">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 31''</ref> While they made their way towards the new crime scene, they encountered Intrepid Eye and [[Huragok]] [[Roams Alone]].

Commandeering the remaining frequency, Intrepid Eye interrogated Wendell and questioned him about the status of her homeworld—[[Shaps III|Wuatera Thresis]]. Discovering that the once-verdant world was now a wastelands, Intrepid Eye and Roams Alone departed the site, but not before they learned that they were being pursued by [[Blue Team]], a team of [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-IIs]] and [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan-IIIs]] attached to the battalion for the operation.

On [[2553#July|July 3, 2553]], Halal's TACPAD was recovered by [[Fred-104]], [[Ash-G099]], [[Olivia-G291]], and [[Mark-G313]] of Blue Team and [[Special inspector|Special Inspector]] [[Veta Lopis]] and [[Cirilo]] of the GMoP. Though Wendell's fragment within the TACPAD was still active, the device was damaged, leading to Fred taking the TACPAD's [[data crystal chip]] containing Wendell and placing it inside his [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|armor]] to allow Wendell to reside in its interface. Without violating security directive [[Foxtrot Tango Angel 7012]], Wendell agreed to respond to Lopis' questions about what happened to Halal and Hayes, though Wendell claimed that he did not actually see their murderer.
