With the addition of Vergil and Sadie, the team traveled to the [[Spartan-IV training station]] where Mickey was being held prisoner for his acts of treason. However, the mission was complicated by a comms blackout imposed on the station by its AI [[Leonidas]] that kept the residents from knowing of the recent events, Chief of Staff [[Jun-A266]] being "indisposed" and the high likelihood that Leonidas had joined the Created. However, the team had the advantage of Vergil and their Condor's cloaking abilities which kept Leonidas from knowing that anyone but Buck was on board. As Vergil attempted to take over the station's systems, Buck visited Mickey, but quickly became frustrated with his former friend's [[Insurrectionist]] views. Recognizing the potential danger that the inhabitants of the station were in from Leonidas, Buck decided to take the AI offline even if he hadn't been compromised as a precaution. Leonidas quickly revealed his true allegiance to the Created and attempted to have Buck arrested, going so far as to declare Buck [[STOLEN GAUNTLET]], or a rogue Spartan. After Buck came close to convincing three Spartans ordered to arrest him to wait until Jun could handle the situation, Leonidas murdered them by evacuating the air from the room, Buck's armor saving him from the same fate. As Leonidas was poised to do the same to the rest of the station, Vergil managed to knock out power to the station briefly, giving Buck enough time to remove Leonidas' [[data crystal chip]] from a terminal in Jun's office, effectively taking Leonidas off-line. | With the addition of Vergil and Sadie, the team traveled to the [[Spartan-IV training station]] where Mickey was being held prisoner for his acts of [[treason]].

The brief power loss knocked out the force fields on the station's cells and released Mickey and two other imprisoned Spartans. Mickey killed the other prisoners and subdued his guards, but he and Buck became pinned down by the station's Spartans who believed Buck to be rogue thanks to Leonidas. In order to prevent Leonidas getting reactivated if they were captured, Buck destroyed his chip and apparently the AI. With the unexpected help of [[Taylor Miles|Dutch]] and [[Gretchen Ketola]], on the station for their own Spartan training, Alpha-Nine managed to escape with Dutch and Gretchen joining them. As the team departed, they were contacted by Jun who had been kept unconscious by Leonidas and who, thanks to the team's efforts, had regained control of the station. Warned that Leonidas might've alerted Cortana's [[Guardian]]s to the station's location, Jun promised that the personnel were making preparations to move and expressed gratitude for Alpha-Nine's help in resolving the problem.<ref>'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''', ''Chapters 8-11''</ref> | The brief power loss knocked out the force fields on the station's cells and released Mickey and two other imprisoned Spartans.
