In early [[2553]], the [[UNSC]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] began to grow irukan on the research facility [[Trevelyan]] in order to create a bioweapon against the Sangheili. The grain was to be genetically modified in an effort to make it indigestible to Sangheili. The Irukan grown would have been used to starve [[Sanghelios]]' population if ONI's [[Kilo-Five|plan of internal dissent]] failed.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 387''</ref> Trevelyan facility's director, [[Irena Magnusson|Dr. Magnusson]], noted that the genetically modified irukan would completely overwhelm the native strain in less than three years.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 369''</ref> In order to expedite the growth of the irukan crops, ONI asked the [[Huragok]] to create accelerating [[slipspace bubble]]s in which time elapsed faster than in normal space.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 205''</ref> | |||
While held captive on Trevelyan, [[Jul 'Mdama]] requested irukan after he informed Dr. Magnusson that human grain did not agree with his digestion.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 62''</ref> | |||
