After being reunited, Alpha-Nine traveled to the [[United Rebel Front]] colony of [[Hole in the Wall]] on the planet [[Cassidy III]]. There, Dare underwent negotiation with Mayor Wells to gain access to what the Front knew about the [[Forerunner]] technology that was cloaking the location. Dare finally got Wells to see the seriousness of the situation with the Created and she explained the little the Front's scientists had figured out about the technology. Dare proposed a deal to Wells where they would lend the Front Vergil and Sadie to study the device and then trade them Mickey, treated as a hero by the Front for actions, to get the two back when the research was completed. | |||
However, during negotiations, Vergil discovered that Leonidas had embedded fragments of himself into the armors of Dutch and Gretchen and possibly other Spartans from the training station. Though Leonidas was removed from Dutch and Gretchen's armors and placed into a tablet, it was too late to stop him from sending a signal to the Created who dispatched a [[Guardian]] and a massive force of [[armiger]]s to pacify the colony. During [[Battle of Cassidy III|the battle]] that followed, Alpha-Nine worked alongside the Front to defend the colony, helping to buy Vergil time to repair the colony's transports and allow as many people, particularly scientists and leaders, as possible to escape with Wells promising to provide their intended location to Mickey. Out of other options once the ships were gone, Wells agreed to surrender to the Created through Leonidas who attempted to depart with the Guardian. However, Romeo was able to destroy Leonidas' fragments with an [[M99 Stanchion]]. Alpha-Nine attempted to evacuate in their Condor, but were intercepted by the Guardian who knocked out power to the ship. Vergil managed to repair the Condor, but both he and Buck nearly fell to their deaths before the rest of Alpha-Nine came together to save them. With the Guardian having expended its power attacking them, the team was able to escape to [[slipspace]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''', ''Chapters 11-20''</ref> | |||

After returning to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, Buck convinced Captain [[Thomas Lasky]] and Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] to reinstate Mickey for at least the remainder of the conflict instead of returning him to jail. Buck left [[Fireteam Osiris]] to command Alpha-Nine once more on a permanent basis with both teams attending Buck and Dare's wedding on the ''Infinity''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''', ''Chapter 21''</ref> | |||
Not long after Buck and Dare's honeymoon, Alpha-Nine was sent out on another classified mission. Out of contact with Command and with nothing but their armor, weapons and each other to rely upon, the team worked together better than ever after all of the hardships that they had been through.<ref>'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''', ''pages 330-331''</ref> | |||
