Issue #2 opens with the delegation attempting to re-establish communication with the orbiting fleet. [[Thel 'Vadam|The Arbiter]] informs [[Terrence Hood|Lord Hood]] of the planet's fortifications as a means for an escape route. [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Lasky]] orders [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Palmer]] to get the ambassadors to the redoubt. Palmer tasks [[Naiya Ray|Spartan Naiya Ray]] to escort Lasky and utilize her SIGINT background to re-establish communications. [[Shipmaster]] [[Vata 'Gajat]] and his forces arrive and is informed by [[Tek]] that the envoy has retreated into the repair depot. However, a [[Daniel Clayton|human associate]] of 'Gajat tells him that they should move quickly before the capital ships respond. In orbit, while ''Infinity'' tries to re-establish contact with the delegation, the Jiralhanae contact the ship and demand to know why communication has been blocked. 'Gajat and his forces storm the depot, only to find the delegation missing. The Shipmaster orders his forces to prepare for deployment, noting that his agent would provide the whereabouts of the envoy. | Issue #2 opens with the delegation attempting to re-establish communication with the orbiting fleet.

Suddenly, a [[Type-56 Lich]] appears and drops off several troops. Palmer takes her helmet filled with grenades and sends it up the Lich's [[gravity lift]], destroying the Lich. Lasky and Ray head down the administrative wing of the facility taking out an [[Sangheili Warrior|Elite Warrior]] along the way. They find a network console and Ray discovers multiple signals being broadcast blocking out incoming transmissions. The destroyed Lich crashes down onto the service bridge while an [[Sangheili Storm|Elite Storm]] unit is taken out by [[Vladimir Scruggs|Spartan Scruggs]]. Palmer orders [[Fireteam Jackknife]] to move ahead to the redoubt while Hood searches the downed Elite. Hood discovers a UNSC [[data pad]] containing information on the Spartans and believes someone is leaking information about the negotiations. Lasky and Ray secure two [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] and make their way to the power source of the jammer but observe Covenant forces heading for the redoubt. Palmer is informed by Scruggs that the facility is secure. Unbeknownst to the rest of the group, Scruggs has instead taken out his team and the security detail. | ||
