From the onset of the [[Carrow Conflict]], van Eekhout closely monitored the naval skirmishes in orbit and the [[Voice of Maardoth]] invasion of Suraka. Realizing that the Jiralhanae were close to entering the Sharquoi Hive, he activated the station's emergency beacon in order to summon a UNSC response force. He then received [[Gray Team]] and a wounded [[Melody Azikiwe]] at the station. He admitted Melody to the medical suite before having a drink with [[Adriana-111]], asking her and later [[Michael-120]] questions regarding the [[SPARTAN-II program]].
