On [[2526#March|March 20]], John-117 and five other Spartans who were not confined to the infirmary attended a funeral service for the two-hundred-and-three men and women who lost their lives at Seoba. Held in the command hangar of the ''Vanishing Point'' as it sat in a high parabolic orbit around Biko, the ceremony included an honor company of a hundred-and-one enlisted personnel in their dress blues, including the six Spartans and Avery Johnson. After the service, Lieutenant Commander Nyeto—the de facto commander of Task Force Yama after Ascot's death—approached John, who asked if he'd reconsider sidelining them. Nyeto promised that the Spartans would be seeing all the action they could handle for the rest of the operation. However, Crowther again contested this on the basis of them being too young, forcing the lieutenant commander to back down by threatening him with a report to a UNSC board of inquiry. The Black Daggers would board the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience|incoming fleet]] alone. As everyone left the hangar in shocked silence, Crowther revealed to Johnson that he did not trust Nyeto. He believed that the Spartans were combat-ready, and he was instead sending them on [[Battle over Etalan|a mission]] to disrupt Covenant supply lines at [[Etalan]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS16}}

A few hours later, Kelly and the rest of Blue Team were gathered in one of the ''Vanishing Point''{{'}}s small maintenance hangars, each dressed in plain black utilities as their armor underwent maintenance and repairs. Four other Spartans sat in a back corner of the hangar, familiarizing themselves with captured Covenant weapons. Meanwhile, the anticipated Covenant fleet had arrived and begun advancing toward Biko. Blue Team watched on a bulkhead monitor as the planet's meager navy responded and approached the greater force, consisting of around one hundred Covenant warships. Each alien capital ship had swarms of fighters sticking close to their hull in an escort pattern and was accelerating rapidly toward the Bikon vessels, a strange and unconventional tactic. The Spartans shared their theories as to why the Covenant was using this strategy, and Kelly came to the conclusion that they were maintaining a fighter screen to prevent boarding attempts. As Blue Team discussed how the Covenant might have figured out what they were planning, Johnson entered the hangar to relay new orders from Crowther. He told them that the colonel had changed his mind about them, and that he was sending the Spartans on a secret mission to Etalan. Kelly and Linda especially had a hard time believing this due to his past statements. However, after Johnson leveled with them and revealed that Crowther was suspicious of Nyeto, the Spartans agreed with this sentiment and John decided that they would take the mission.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS17|HSS|Chapter=17}}
