Over a week later, only 47,912 of these settlements had been glassed. The [[Minor Minister of Artifact Survey]], who had been overseeing the planet's destruction from aboard the ''Pious Rampage'', began to tire of the slow pace. To expedite the destruction, 'Kvarosee suggested that they target Etalan's enormous [[Wikipedia:Shield volcano|shield volcano]] that rested near its equator. Such an action could trigger an eruption large enough to fill the planet's skies with smoke and ash, slowing suffocating the remaining colonists in the resulting [[Wikipedia:Nuclear winter|nuclear winter]]. Liking this plan, the [[San'Shyuum]] gave the order and the volcano was bombarded.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS9}} | ||

Garvin revealed that [[Spartan-IIs]] were responsible for the mysterious loss of two of his ships, and that they intended to destroy 'Kvarosee's fleet at [[Biko]], further proposing to help eliminate the Spartans if the Covenant left their worlds alone.
