The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] used [[Sangheili]] contacts and the trusted Sangheili crew of an ex-[[Covenant]] [[Covenant destroyer|destroyer]] to hunt down a remote world where the [[San'Shyuum]] had allegedly kept a [[Sharquoi]] hive. | The [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] used [[Sangheili]] contacts and the trusted Sangheili crew of an ex-[[Covenant]] [[Covenant destroyer|destroyer]] to hunt down a remote world where the [[San'Shyuum]] had allegedly kept a [[Sharquoi]] hive.<ref name="E"/> | ||

Around one hundred of the UNSC's [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s were deployed to the world that had been discovered. ONI personnel accompanied them. A handful of Sharquoi were found to be held in stasis. One was accidentally released while ONI was attempting to access terminal data at the site, and this one creature killed fifty of the ODSTs. Later, the location of the hive was [[nuclear weapon|nuked]] from orbit and [[glassed]] by the Sangheili, as ONI wanted to eliminate any chance of another one ever getting loose. | Around one hundred of the UNSC's [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s were deployed to the world that had been discovered.

In early September of [[2558]] during the [[Carrow Conflict]], [[Melody Azikiwe]] and [[ONI]] [[Commander]] [[Greg van Eekhout]] showed [[Gray Team]] footage from one of the ODSTs' [[helmet recorder|helmet cam]]s recorded during the operation. At that point, it had been the only time humans had ever seen Sharquoi. Due to the threat of the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] unleashing hundreds of thousands more of the creatures on the planet [[Carrow]], Melody showed them the footage so that they would understand the danger the Sharquoi posed and why they had to stop Hekabe and his plans. | In early September of [[2558]] during the [[Carrow Conflict]], [[Melody Azikiwe]] and [[ONI]] [[Commander]] [[Greg van Eekhout]] showed [[Gray Team]] footage from one of the ODSTs' [[helmet recorder|helmet cam]]s recorded during the operation.
