The Sergeant is introduced to the personnel involved in the planned operation; the SPARTAN-IIs, Captain [[Halima Ascot]] - leader of [[Task Force Yama]], a prowler task force used for the mission and Colonel [[Marmon Crowther]] - leader of the [[ODST]] [[21st Space Assault Battalion]]. The group formalize the plan, with Ascot in charge of the naval complement and Crowther in charge of the 400-strong ground troops, with the SPARTANs under Crowther's operational command. With his experience, Johnson is to advise the SPARTANs and help them in learning to work with standard UNSC enlisted personnel. With the Covenant war machine advancing toward [[Biko]], the operation intends to let Cole's naval forces engage the Covenant with the prowlers inserting their troops while the aliens are distracted. If the prowlers get an opportunity first, they proceed with their plan and Cole's group engages the distracted aliens. | The Sergeant is introduced to the personnel involved in the planned operation; the SPARTAN-IIs, Captain [[Halima Ascot]] - leader of [[Task Force Yama]], a prowler task force used for the mission and Colonel [[Marmon Crowther]] - leader of the [[ODST]] [[21st Space Assault Battalion]].

Meanwhile, a group of [[insurrectionist]]s meet aboard the frigate ''[[Bellicose]]'' to discuss the emerging Covenant threat, with several groups represented. The meeting is led by [[Lyrenne Castilla]] and General [[Harper Garvin]]. The conference eventually agrees to stage a coup of Biko, intending to offer the planet to the Covenant in return for the Covenant sparing the world. [[Petora Zoyas]] of the [[Gao Liberation Force]] offers up intel about the SPARTANs and Operation: SILENT STORM, gathered from a turncoat contact inside the task force. As part of the insurrectionist ploy, they agree to alert the Covenant to the UNSC plan at Biko and, if successful, continue to drip-feed the Covenant intelligence about the UNSC war effort and eventually, the location of [[Earth]], in return for their continued survival. To stage this coup, the insurrectionist factions contribute forces to join the [[Biko Independence Army]] at a base established in an [[Seoba ice quarry|abandoned ice quarry]] on the Bikon moon of [[Seoba]]. | Meanwhile, Enju wears knee high boots with extremely thick, heavy, black soles which she utilizes to crush her enemies. The uppers of the boots are black and dark purple in the manga. In the anime, however, they are black with red accents and use zippers instead of laces and straps. On top of that, the soles in the anime are slightly smaller. The toes of Enju's boots appear to be white rubber. a group of [[insurrectionist]]s meet aboard the frigate ''[[Bellicose]]'' to discuss the emerging Covenant threat, with several groups represented.

Task Force Yama unknowingly select this same location to stage their operation, leading to the task force attempting to land at the ice quarry. When they discover the rebel presence, the Task Force prepares to take the quarry. Against the SPARTANs' suggestions, Colonel Crowther assigns one SPARTAN to each ODST [[platoon]] to carry heavy weapons. The {{UNSCShip|Ghost Star}} is taken out by return fire from concealed [[M41 Vulcan]] cannons, with many ODSTs killed during the initial drop. Another flight of prowlers take out an insurrectionist communication facility at the top of the quarry, prompting a convoy of [[Civet]] AFVs to begin transporting a group of engineers to fix the array. The prowlers begin to turn around and retreat, cancelling the deployment. Seeing the few soldiers who did manage to successfully land and are now taking fire, [[John-117]] decides to take the initiative against orders and drops out of the drop bay, leading to the remaining forces joining him. With the botched landing, the troops begin taking heavy casualties but are able to eventually find cover. John forms a plan with Lieutenant [[Nelly Hamm]] and Captain [[Zelos Cuvier]]; the quarry is lined by a mass driver leading up to the surface, with bunkers lining all sides. The SPARTANs intend to climb the inside of the mass driver and prevent the insurrectionists from fixing the comms facility and leaking the secrecy of the operation, with the ODSTs launching a mock assault to distract the defenders. | Task Force Yama unknowingly select this same location to stage their operation, leading to the task force attempting to land at the ice quarry.
