After winning the skirmish, Commander [[Carter-A259]] stated that they needed Kat at the relay immediately in order to warn [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland|Holland]] of the Covenant threat. With Jun detecting more Covenant activity to the east, Noble crossed a creek and took out a squad of [[Sangheili Ultra]]s. Once the Covenant were cleared out, Carter ordered Kat and [[Emile-A239]] to leave for the relay in a Falcon while he, Jorge and [[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]] investigated more Covenant activity to the northeast.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=WC}} | After winning the skirmish, Commander [[Carter-A259]] stated that they needed Kat at the relay immediately in order to warn [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland|Holland]] of the Covenant threat.

However, by splicing into the main overland bundle, Kat was able to get [[Carter-A259]] a connection to [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]] while [[Jorge-052]] attempted to get answers from [[Sára Sorvad]] without success. Carter reported the presence of the Covenant on [[Reach]] to a horrified Holland and that the [[WINTER CONTINGENCY (protocol)|WINTER CONTINGENCY]] was now in effect.{{Ref/Reuse|Id=WC}} | ||
Two days later, while en route to [[Battle of Sword Base|defend]] [[ONI]]'s [[SWORD Base]] from the Covenant, Kat attempted to access the information on the [[data module]] that she had recovered from Professor Sorvad's body. Alerted to the intrusion, Doctor [[Catherine Halsey]] explained to [[NOBLE Team]] after the battle that the Field Marshall and two Zealots they had encountered were [[Devoted Sentries|a specialized artifact-retrieval team]] that was most likely after the abundance of ONI excavation data held at the relay, data that they most likely got away with since the Field Marshall had escaped. However, Halsey revealed that the recovered data module contained a "latchkey discovery" made by Professor Sorvad before his death and took possession of the module from Kat.{{Ref/Level|Id=Sword|HR|ONI: Sword Base}} The data recovered from Visegrád would ultimately prove to be the key to decoding the data on the [[Forerunner]] [[Babd Catha Forerunner vessel|ship]] beneath SWORD Base.{{Ref/Level|Id=Package|HR|The Package}} | Two days later, while en route to [[Battle of Sword Base|defend]] [[ONI]]'s [[SWORD Base]] from the Covenant, Kat attempted to access the information on the [[data module]] that she had recovered from Professor Sorvad's body.
