{{Quote|Halo is space opera with an edge, the kind of gritty universe where moral dilemma is as important as physical peril. I love working in that kind of milieu. It gives me the freedom to do things like putting Veta Lopis — an ace detective with her own concept of justice — in command of a Ferret Team of fourteen-year-old Spartans. When you get a chance to do something like that, you never know quite what's going to happen in the story. But you do know it’ll be fun to write.|Troy Denning | {{Quote|Halo is space opera with an edge, the kind of gritty universe where moral dilemma is as important as physical peril.

Ash and Mark explain what happened; Mark was attacked on his way out of the club by the server who attempted to stop him earlier. When he attempted to use the man he was carrying as a shield, the man resisted and Mark struck him, which unexpectedly killed the man. By this point Ash arrived and the server fled the scene. Ash and Mark disposed of the man's body through an [[airlock]], but when they returned to sanitize the area, they found it had already been cleaned. | Ash and Mark explain what happened; Mark was attacked on his way out of the club by the server who attempted to stop him earlier.

As the Ferrets investigate the victim's personal effects, he is discovered to have been [[Spencer Hume]], an investigative reporter who had been publishing exposés on ONI.

Using ONI's [[Facial Recognition Database]], Olivia is able to identify Mark's assailant as a former ONI commander named [[Ota Gallo]], now working for [[Dark Moon Enterprises]], a recently-established private security company that has expanded considerably in the previous months. Aware that Gallo will not leave without recovering Hume's belongings, including his [[COM pad]], the team lure the rogue agent into the suite with a message, a copy of which Olivia sends to Osman. Gallo and a pair of armed men attack the suite soon after. After Ash and Mark eliminate Gallo's henchmen, Gallo attempts to throw a grenade into the suite, but not before Olivia throws a knife at her. As a result Gallo is blown apart by her own grenade while the Ferret Team survives, although Olivia suffers considerable injuries. | ||
Following the attack, the team promptly attempt to evacuate but are met by Admiral Osman at the [[elevator]]. Expressing distaste at the carnage, Osman questions the Ferrets about their resolution of the situation and asks Lopis what truly became of Hume. Lopis frames Gallo for Hume's murder, claiming she killed Hume to prevent him from naming her as his source. Osman is visibly incredulous but appears satisfied with the explanation, sarcastically asking Mark to verify Lopis' story—which he does without hesitation. | Following the attack, the team promptly attempt to evacuate but are met by Admiral Osman at the [[elevator]].
