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]].

When a recovered section of the {{ | When a recovered section of the {{Class|SDV|heavy corvette}} ''[[Supplication of Purity]]'' was brought to a [[United Republic of North America]] city for use in the training of recruits at an outpost, Gabriela personally lent instruction to the first group to explore it.<ref name="HODCE">''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'', [[Covenant Escape]]</ref> The exercise was meant to familiarize them with intelligence gathering and the various high-risk boarding maneuvers and strategies commonly undertaken by the UNSC. Once they had entered the reclaimed section along with Ensign [[Brown]], Gabriela asked them to imagine that the ship's commander had initiated a lockdown protocol to trap them following its boarding and was sending a hunter-killer squad to eliminate them. She then directed them to locate maintenance access areas along the bulkhead walls so that they could reconfigure a series of cables to trigger an organized shortage which would interrupt the lockdown in their area. Next, she drew the recruits' attention to a nearby door, where [[Sangheili (language)|Sangheili]] glyphs were soon to light up in a particular sequence that, if replicated, would signal the hatchway to open. Just as she was congratulating them, however, she noticed a [[Supplication of Purity's AI|hostile intelligence]] which still lingered in the captured ship and appeared to have been awoken by the recruits' actions. Gabriela immediately began cycling the access hatch to open the door they'd been trying to get through before then determining it was likely to explode and so ordering the humans to move away from it. She opened another door on the opposite side of the chamber for them and soon an additional one beyond that, allowing the recruits and ensign to put as much distance as possible between they and the imminent explosion. The [[Covenant]] subroutine was blocking Gabriela from ''Supplication of Purity'''s internal sensor grid, leaving her ability to help any further vulnerable. Worried that she could be cut out at any moment, she told Brown and the others to disconnect the enemy intelligence by gathering nearby energy core cylinders just before her fear was confirmed and the communication between she and they was severed. When she finally did reestablish a connection she announced she'd discovered the nature of the threat [[ONI|naval intelligence]] had seemingly missed—an autonomous security protocol subroutine. Gabriela had never encountered anything like it before so she was gathering as much information about it as she could, but she admitted it was putting up quite a fight against her. She eventually managed to neutralize it and make a record of it for future research, but before that the subroutine initiated a self-destruct order set to overload the power conduits at the base of the entire ship section. With the reclaimed corvette now a threat to the entire outpost, she urged those within to quickly locate two key cards used to access the subsystems in their compartment. To her relief, the cards allowed the self-destruct sequence to be halted. Gabriela apologized for the harrowing near-disaster, but thanked the recruits for averting it and told them she considered them to have passed the original exercise with flying colors.{{Ref/Reuse|HODCE}}{{Ref/Note|''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'', is canonically set at some point between [[2554]] and [[2557]], placing the near-destruction of an [[Outpost Discovery]] location by a reclaimed section of ''Supplication of Purity'' within this time frame as well. The attraction known as [[The Ring Experience|"The Ring Experience"]] at each ''Outpost Discovery'' location features the exploration of a [[Halo ring]] which cannot be [[Installation 05|Delta]] or [[Gamma Halo]] based on the planet it is shown to orbit, the experience's executive producer, Jason Ambler, believes it is supposed to be [[Installation 07|Zeta Halo]]. If this is the case, ''Outpost Discovery'' cannot be set any earlier than the point in [[2555]] when the [[Zeta Halo project|exploration]] of that installation began. Officially the identity of the installation shown in The Ring Experience is presently undefined by [[343 Industries]]. It should also be noted that the canonical dating of ''Outpost Discovery'' may be able to be further narrowed by a display which claims it is believed [[343 Guilty Spark]] was destroyed in [[2552]]. It was in late [[2555]] that the [[UNSC]] first learned of this [[monitor]]'s survival.}}<ref name="TMOTRE">''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'', ''The Making of The Ring Experience''</ref><ref name="HODTRE">''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'', [[The Ring Experience]]</ref><ref name="HR13">''[[Halo: Renegades]]'', ''Chapter 13''</ref>{{Ref/Note|On the cover of a hardcover collection of ''Halo: Lone Wolf'' issues exclusive to ''Halo: Outpost Discovery'', Gabriela's avatar is projected in Linda's palm while Owen and Hazel stand nearby and an Outpost Discovery structure stands in the background.
