At some point in the latter half of [[2553]] the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] received a distress signal from the [[UNSC frigate|frigate]]'s survivors, coming from the largely [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]]-controlled [[Sephune III]].{{Ref/Reuse|HLW1}} The ''Dawn'' had crashed there following its flight from Reach.{{Ref/Reuse|Twitter3}} Given the possibility that Gabriela remained intact, ONI believed sending one of the few remaining [[Spartan-II]]s, [[Linda-058]], to the planet was worth the risk.<ref name="HLW3">''[[Halo: Lone Wolf]]'', ''[[Halo: Lone Wolf Issue 3|Issue #3]]''</ref> As such, she was briefed within twenty-four hours of the signal's discovery.{{Ref/Reuse|HLW1}} She was not informed concerning Gabriela, however, instead being told her mission was to assassinate Doctor [[Chen Bax]], a scientist who had tried to steal classified technology but who had also been thought killed at [[Reach]].
