In [[2556]], a [[Covenant remnants|Covenant fringe group]] glassed the last city of the colony world of Cleyell.

Weeks later, the {{UNSCShip|Cascadia}} picked up a distress signal on the planet's surface, indicating that they may need to organize a search-and-rescue mission. One of the ODSTs questioned this, stating that any survivors only make it for around a month after a glassing. [[Holly Tanaka]]—a sergeant in the [[UNSC Army]]'s [[412th Engineer Command]]—then joined the conversation and revealed that the three survivors from [[Minab|her homeworld]]'s glassing were recovered in [[2553]], three years later. After hearing her story, Captain French decided to follow Tanaka's advice. However, he also ordered Holly to accompany the group planetside due to her expertise.<ref>'''[[Halo: Escalation]]''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 17|Issue #17]]''</ref> | ||

After the | After the ODST team and Tanaka landed on Cleyell's surface, they found a transmitter wedged down in a crack. When one of the ODSTs asked why someone would stash a transmitter there, the other ODST found a dead civilian with [[plasma]] burns in his body.<ref name="HE18">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 18|Issue #18]]</ref> | ||

Tanaka deduced that the distress signal must have originated from below the buildings; as there are Kig-Yar snipers likely posted in the structure itself, no survivor could have escaped along the plains. They make their way into a cave system Tanaka spotted earlier, with her taking the lead due to her experience. She warns the two ODSTs to remain quiet or the Kig-Yar will execute any prisoners if they hear them coming. As one of the ODSTs takes a step forward, the ground gives way and he crashes through into a Kig-Yar-occupied cavern. Tanaka and the other ODST fall down the hole as well and a firefight ensues, with Tanaka and the ODSTs eventually emerging victorious.<ref name="HE18"/> | ||

Tanaka found a group of malnourished survivors, who are then rescued aboard a Pelican. After the mission, Captain French was impressed by Tanaka's selflessness and courage, and recommended Tanaka to [[Jun-A266]] as a suitable candidate for the [[SPARTAN-IV program]].<ref name="HE18"/> | |||
