MacCraw was a relatively new member of [[Sergeant (UNSC)|Sergeant]] [[Zhao Heng Lopez|Lopez]]'s squad by the time of their mission in the [[Soell]] system. An inexperienced rookie, MacCraw initially failed to impress Lopez,{{Ref/Reuse|tml224}} but he proved to be surprisingly competent in combat.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 314''</ref> He participated in the reconnaissance operation aboard the civilian [[Prison ship|prisoner ship]], ''[[Mona Lisa]]''. After a brief skirmish with a group of unarmored and unarmed [[Sangheili]], the group received new orders to enact the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]]. They split up into two teams, with MacCraw being assigned to the team led by Lopez, along with [[Mahmoud]], [[Percy]], [[Rakesh]] and [[Raj Singh|Singh]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 261''</ref>

While scouting the medical bay, the team MacCraw was with found an [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] [[Major (UNSC)|Major]] named [[John Smith]] locked inside a safe room. As they interrogated Smith about the experiments with the prisoners and the Flood, Smith broke free and killed Mahmoud with a concealed knife. By the time they reached the bridge of the ''Mona Lisa'', MacCraw and Lopez were the only remaining members of their party. On the bridge, they managed to raise the ''Red Horse'', learning that not only had Smith stolen their only Pelican, but a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile]] was being prepared to be fired at the ''Mona Lisa''. The captain of the ''Red Horse'' then told Lopez that there were two escape pods left on the lower deck, leaving out that the pods were only meant for single occupants.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 323-326''</ref>

As MacCraw and Lopez defended the pods, [[Hospital Corpsman|Corpsman]] [[Ngoc Benti]] arrived with [[Clarence]] and two new additions; a prisoner named [[Patrick Rimmer]] and his Sangheili companion, nicknamed [[Henry (Sangheili)|"Henry"]]. Clarence, under strict orders from ONI Section III to not let anything but the Marines leave the ship, executed Rimmer. As a standoff developed, MacCraw dove into one of the remaining escape pods leaving the others behind. Henry, maddened with grief, moved to shoot Clarence until Benti, already heavily wounded on the way and showing signs of infection, sacrificed her life by pushing both herself and Clarence into the oncoming Flood horde.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 337''</ref>

MacCraw then escaped in one of the escape pods, leaving both Henry and Lopez to fend for themselves.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 337''</ref>
