Shortly after the destruction of the {{UNSCShip|Prophecy}} and four Covenant ships at the hands of the ''Spirit of Fire'' crew, the {{UNSCShip|Last Gleaming}} arrived at Harvest, bearing professor Anders. Anders was presented to Captain Cutter on the ''Spirit'''s bridge by an ONI officer.{{Ref/Reuse|Genesis}} Cutter wasted no time confronting the man with the fact that a stealth ship belonging to ONI must have been present when the ''Prophecy'' was first damaged, due to the time required to travel from Harvest. The officer defended the decision to leave the cruiser, seeing as those aboard were a lost cause. In addition, he reminded the captain that it would be in violation of protocol for any "hypothetical" [[prowler]] to reveal itself. Moving on from the matter, he introduced Cutter to his new guest and relayed that [[Fleet Command]] had given her the authority to make decisions related to scientific matters during the current deployment. Following that communiqué, Anders launched into a presentation for Cutter concerning what she had already gathered concerning the Covenant's preoccupation with [[Harvest]] and the [[Sangheili]] [[Arbiter]] leading its forces there: [[Ripa 'Moramee]].{{Ref/Reuse|Genesis}} Following the presentation Cutter made a log in his captain's report about the last five years of struggling for Harvest and what it felt like to be here now, being seemingly close to beating back the Covenant for good from the colony. By this time, Cutter had developed a close working relationship with [[Serina]] but was still suspicious of Anders. He suspected that there was more to her than met the eye.<ref name="Crew">[http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/galleries/halo-wars-character-profiles-captain-cutter-and-the-brute-chieftain/?page=5 '''Game Daily''' - ''Every Captain needs a well-trained crew'' (defunct link)]</ref>

Once the ''Last Gleaming'' had departed, Cutter, Anders, and Serina conversed on the bridge. The professor, having been briefed on intercepted Covenant transmissions deciphered by [[artificial intelligence]]s, let Cutter know that the aliens seemed to be particularly interested in an arctic region of the planet. Serina scanned the area and detected major gravimetric anomalies. Anders thought her readings might indicate a specific structure on the surface hereto unknown to them, and Cutter told Serina to have Sergeant [[John Forge]] investigate. Marines deployed as part of [[Alpha Team (Harvest)|Alpha]] and [[Bravo Team (Harvest)|Bravo Team]]s and soon came under fire from [[Jiralhanae]] led by the Brute known as [[Thrallslayer]]. The information coming from the surface threw the bridge into chaos and Cutter ordered Serina to get him a direct connection to Forge. The sergeant reported that unless Alpha and Bravo could link up at his position, his own marines would be done for. Cutter ordered him to secure his location and assured him that reinforcements were inbound.{{Ref/Reuse|OSG}}
