Upon arrival, she finds that the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] is already searching for her. She eludes their patrols and finds her home, where she encounters a wheelchair-bound girl whose appearance is nearly identical to hers. It is then that a [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornet]] approaches, with Halsey on board. Halsey explains via COM that the abducted Spartans were replaced with [[flash cloning|flash-clones]], to cover up the kidnappings. Halsey unsuccessfully attempts to convince Daisy to return to the training program; instead, the confused Spartan draws her weapon and aims it at the clone. She hesitates for a while, and lowers the weapon. As she begins to leave, the clone calls out to her, and gives her a small teddy bear on a chain that Daisy lost when ONI agents abducted her. Daisy returns to UNSC custody, and the clone dies soon after. | Upon arrival, she finds that the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] is already searching for her.
