During the battle on [[Sargasso]] in [[2546]], Dare tasked Alpha-Nine—then composed of Buck, [[Gomez (ODST)|Gomez]], [[Svensdottir]], and [[Samrat]]—with retrieving [[Lethbridge Industrial]]'s research data from its laboratories in the town of [[Belisk]] before the Covenant did. Fellow ODST squad [[Gamma-Six]] was charged with unknowingly distracting the Covenant, while Alpha-Nine retrieved the data chip. Buck voiced his disapproval of the mission, as he was reluctant to allow Gamma-Six to die on what was essentially a suicide mission.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''page 25'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Buck eventually relented and Alpha-Nine was covertly dropped off by a [[dropship]] five kilometers away from Belisk, rather than being deployed in [[Human Entry Vehicle]]s from orbit. The squad reached Lethbridge's headquarters in the town and, after eliminating scattered Covenant forces, Buck retrieved the data chip.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 30-37'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | During the battle on [[Sargasso]] in [[2546]], Dare tasked Alpha-Nine—then composed of Buck, [[Gomez (ODST)|Gomez]], [[Svensdottir]], and [[Samrat]]—with retrieving [[Lethbridge Industrial]]'s research data from its laboratories in the town of [[Belisk]] before the Covenant did.

As Alpha-Nine completed their mission and prepared to leave the town of Belisk, Buck overheard [[Sarah Palmer]] of Gamma-Six questioning Command about their lack of extraction. Command informed Palmer that the amount of hostiles at her position made extraction infeasible, and ordered for her to retreat to a safer location. Buck ignored ONI's orders and led his squad to rescue Palmer and Gamma-Six. By the time Alpha-Nine arrived, Palmer was the last remaining member of her squad. Together, the ODSTs eliminated the [[Jiralhanae]], [[Kig-Yar]], [[Unggoy]] and [[Banshees]] assaulting their position and returned back to base in a civilian truck.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 38-44'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Buck was reprimanded by Dare for disobeying her direct order and he was threatened with a charge of insubordination, but he did not receive any other apparent punishment.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''page 47'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | As Alpha-Nine completed their mission and prepared to leave the town of Belisk, Buck overheard [[Sarah Palmer]] of Gamma-Six questioning Command about their lack of extraction.
