Subsection 7 dictates that captured Covenant matériel and ships may not be taken back to human-controlled space due to concerns that they might contain tracking devices; as such, it is likely part of Article 4. Bringing a Covenant weapon back to any UNSC installation or Inner Colony is considered an act of treason.<ref>''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'', Chapter 10</ref> [[SPARTAN-III | Subsection 7 dictates that captured Covenant matériel and ships may not be taken back to human-controlled space due to concerns that they might contain tracking devices; as such, it is likely part of Article 4.

While possessing this matériel was a gross violation of Subsection 7, his superior, [[UNSC Army]] [[Colonel]] [[Urban Holland]], refused to report the Spartan; Holland claimed that the Army does not need to follow Navy protocol. The SPARTAN-IIs had standing orders from the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to seize Covenant weapons and technology whenever possible.<ref>''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', Chapter 20</ref> | ||
Few have even heard of Subsection 7; it was little more than a technicality before ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' was captured by SPARTAN [[John-117]] and his team soon after the [[Battle of Installation 04]]. This was due to the chances of capturing even a severely crippled Covenant ship being minuscule, as the ship's crew would usually activate their self-destruct function before the completion of such attempts. Because ''Ascendant Justice'' could not be thoroughly searched, John-117 and ONI [[Lieutenant]] [[Elias Haverson]] instead planned to take the ship to Reach, which had already been compromised by the Covenant, and then try to return with a better prepared team.<ref>''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', Chapter 9</ref> | Few have even heard of Subsection 7; it was little more than a technicality before ''[[Ascendant Justice]]'' was captured by SPARTAN [[John-117]] and his team soon after the [[Battle of Installation 04]].
