He had felt great resentment at Johnson's hesitation on Tribute, and picked a fight with him as soon as he arrived on Harvest. Byrne had almost killed Johnson if [[Captain (Ground forces)|Captain]] [[Ponder]] had not intervened. Their actual mission was to create a covert anti-insurgency unit, as revealed by [[ONI]] officer [[Lieutenant Commander|Lt. Cdr.]] [[Jilan al-Cygni|al-Cygni]], and to lay an ambush on insurgent forces suspected in the disappearances of [[DCS light freighter|DCS freighter]]s around [[Harvest]]. However, he and Johnson fought four [[Kig-Yar|Jackal]]s in the first battle between the UNSC and [[Covenant]], on board a human freighter, and they successfully defeated them. Byrne and Johnson (with the rest of the militia of Harvest) were also present at the initial negotiations between the [[Jiralhanae]] and the [[human]]s. They also fought [[Tartarus]], [[Maccabeus]] and several [[Grunts]]. One [[Osmo|militia soldier]] was torn apart by a Grunt, which sparked the firefight. As the conflict heated up, Byrne continued to defend the planet from Covenant hostiles and he received multiple injuries in the conflict. He managed to live through the battle, and was evacuated with Johnson, [[Jilan al-Cygni]], and the rest of the [[Colonial Militia]] in a pod heading from the [[Tiara]]. | ||
