===Conscription and training===
Grace-093 was a genetically, intellectually, and physically gifted child chosen for the [[SPARTAN-II]] project. She was abducted by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and replaced with a [[flash clone]] when she was around six years old. She and seventy-four other children were taken to [[Reach]] in the Epsilon Eridani system. There, she was trained by the [[dumb AI|"dumb" AI]], [[Déjà]] and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez]], with the two serving as the Spartans' teacher and drill instructor, respectively. In [[2519]], she was taken alongside her fellow trainees to a [[Military Wilderness Training Preserve]] for a mission that required each trainee to be left alone in the woods with a only a single piece of a map. It was up to them to find one another so that they could piece the map together and locate the designated extraction point. The mission was ultimately a success. At another point during training, Grace and the others traveled to [[Emerald Cove]] for an underwater mission. There, they abandoned Mendez and lived on their own on an island for a few days. By July 14, [[2523]], Grace and her fellow Spartan-IIs had begun facing the formidable and ruthless UNSC Marine Corps' [[Tango Company]] in simulated war games. On March 9, 2525, Grace and the rest of the Spartan-II candidates underwent their [[augmentation]] procedures at [[Medical Facility Endurance]] orbiting Reach. After successfully enduring the procedures, Grace later attended a military funeral aboard the carrier, the [[UNSC Atlas]], in the [[Lambda Serpentis]] system for the Spartans who died during the process. Afterwards, they all returned to Reach for their final training phase in the [[Highland Mountains]].

By early [[2526]], Grace had been assigned to [[Gold Team]], led by [[Joshua-029]]. On [[2526#March|March 5]], Grace, her teammates, and eight other Spartans were organized into an assault squad led by [[John-117]] with orders to board and capture a [[Covenant frigate]], ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', orbiting the planet [[Netherop]]. To accomplish this, they were all deployed from the [[prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}} for an [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]] [[Naval boarding|boarding action]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS1|HSS|Chapter=1}} Using a flight of {{Pattern|Elsedda|Banshee}}s for cover, the Spartans stealthily approached the alien vessel.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS2|HSS|Chapter=2}} They [[Skirmish over Netherop|boarded]] the frigate via its underslung hangar and eliminated the Covenant forces stationed there without the rest of crew realizing they had been boarded. As [[Blue Team|Blue]] and [[Green Team]]s pushed further into the alien vessel, John instructed Gold Team  to collect weapons and corpses to be piled into the Banshees, which would then be pushed out into space for ONI to recover later on for study. Once that task was completed, Grace and her team acted as support for Blue and Green, watching their backs. As the two forward teams continued on, a sensor operator aboard one of the prowlers "accidentally" broadcast a transmission on the Spartans' [[COM|SQUADCOM]], revealing their presence to the frigate's crew. Unbeknownst to them, the crewman's apparent mistake was part of an [[insurrectionist]] plot designed by [[Hector Nyeto]], who intended to get the Spartans killed. With their presence known, Blue and Green Teams split up, with John leading his team to the bridge. John was unable to prevent the frigate's [[shipmaster]] from activating a [[self-destruct]] sequence, forcing him to order all of his teammates to abandon ship immediately. All of the Spartans—including Grace—made it to safety before the ''Radiant Arrow'' detonated.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS3|HSS|Chapter=3}}

That same day, Grace-093, the other Spartans, Staff Sergeant Johnson, and Dr. Halsey left the [[Kolaqoa system]] aboard the ''Vanishing Point'', with two prowlers trailing them as escort. On [[2526#March|March 22]], the three ships dropped out of [[slipspace]] at Etalan and the ''Vanishing Point''{{'}}s analysts spent the next four days observing the logistics fleet's movements, trying to discern which vessels should be designated as priority targets. By [[2526#March|March 26]], they felt confident that four of the fleet's fifteen vessels were equipment [[freighter]]s carrying spare parts and other materials that would be used to keep the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience operational. At this point, the logistics fleet was seemingly preparing to leave Etalan and regroup with the main force, evidenced by the fact that they had begun syncing their orbits and bringing their [[fusion reactor]]s to full power. Since time was running out, Grace, the rest of Gold Team, and Green Team were deployed in four [[S-14 Baselard]]s with the objective of destroying the equipment freighters while Blue Team remained on the ''Vanishing Point'', preparing for their phase of the attack. The four Spartan-manned fighters flew at the center of a formation of twenty total Baselards, and the plan was for the squadron to pierce through the logistics vessels' screen of Banshees and [[Seraph]]s, then the eight Spartans would go [[Extra-vehicular activity|EV]] after faking the destruction of their Baselards. To camouflage their approach, their fighters were equipped with pods of chain-linked debris that would deploy upon the crafts' destruction. Then, the Spartans would board the target vessels and plant their HAVOK nukes before fleeing. Due to the high risk involved with performing these maneuvers, both teams were given strict orders to abort the mission if it became apparent that they would not reach their targets.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS19|HSS|Chapter=19}}

After Blue Team launched from the ''Vanishing Point'' in the captured Banshees from the ''Radiant Arrow'', they managed to infiltrate a larger formation of Covenant fighters. With that, the next phase of the mission began and Gold Team ejected from their Baselards as Green Team did the same. As planned, the eight Spartans boarded the four equipment freighters, planted their nukes, and abandoned ship before the nukes detonated. The fourth detonation [[Electromagnetic pulse|disabled]] the Banshee formation that Blue Team had infiltrated, forcing them to go EV. Afterwards, when the two escort prowlers moved to extract Gold and Green Teams from orbit over Etalan, their retrieval caused an unintentional diversion that drew attention away from Blue Team as they destroyed the logistics fleet’s "[[Bladder ship|air-skimmers]]."{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS20|HSS|Chapter=20}}

Grace was the Spartan-IIs' explosives expert. She could shape a charge to cut into a single steel bolt with only a whisper of sound, or rig a hundred thousand litres of kerosene to blow into a "firestorm from hell". Ironically, her temper was nonexistent. It seems that she liked ''calamari'', a type of seafood, which she fondly remembered eating during one of the Spartans' training missions to [[Emerald Cove]].<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 220''</ref>
