While trapped aboard ''[[Argent Moon]]'', the [[Forerunner]] [[archeon-class ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]] | While trapped aboard ''[[Argent Moon]]'', the [[Forerunner]] [[archeon-class ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]] a number of remote aspects of herself between July and December [[2553]]. One remote aspect was embedded in the station's own processing systems.{{Ref/Reuse|Ret5}} One of Intrepid Eye's oldest and most useful remote aspects was [[Oriel]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=Ret27|Ret|27}} Over the next six months, through these remote aspects, Intrepid Eye created a vast network of resources through the galaxy that controlled [[propaganda]] outlets, private security contractors, law practices and even political consulting firms that operated on dozens of worlds. Additionally, through one of her aspects, Intrepid Eye communicated with [[Castor]], posing as an Oracle to direct him to build [[Salvation Base]] inside of the [[Suluhu Contemplarium]] and engage in piracy in the sector in hopes of drawing the UNSC to the site as part of her plan to prepare humanity for the [[Mantle of Responsibility]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=Ret16|Ret|16}} | ||
In September 2553, through her remote aspects, Intrepid Eye established [[Dark Moon Enterprises]] to carry out her work. | In September 2553, through her remote aspects, Intrepid Eye established [[Dark Moon Enterprises]] to carry out her work. It was known to ONI as a [[human]] private comprehensive security corporation that provided force-enhancement services throughout the [[human colonies]],{{Ref/Novel|Id=necessary|Fra|''[[A Necessary Truth]]''}} but it also employed at least [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Jiralhanae]].{{Ref/Novel|Ret}} Dark Moon seemed to appear from nowhere with a list of prestigious clients and began hiring former [[UNSC]] personnel to provide security services in a broad spectrum of hostile environments. Within two weeks of its appearance, Dark Moon had grown so fast that they began hiring active-duty UNSC personnel; because of this the UNSC put them on the [[No Contact, No Access list]]. After this, Dark Moon began offering clients a menu of privatized intelligence and threat-management services and began to recruit both former and current [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] agents to fulfill its contracts. Even a month after its appearance ONI still had very little information on Dark Moon, not even knowing who its founder or company executives were.{{Ref/Reuse|necessary}} | ||
In December 2553, Intrepid Eye blackmailed [[Lieutenant]] [[Bartalan Craddog]] into giving her access to ''Argent Moon's'' communications array using surveillance footage gathered for her by the remote aspect in the station's processing systems. While the remote aspect was easily capable of defeating the station's AI [[Rooker]], it was too limited to carry out Intrepid Eye's plan of preparing humanity to carry out the [[Mantle]]. While Intrepid Eye intended to contact her various remote aspects, Craddog came to the conclusion that Intrepid Eye sought to reintegrate her aspects instead and reluctantly gave into her blackmail.{{Ref/Reuse|Ret5}} | In December 2553, Intrepid Eye blackmailed [[Lieutenant]] [[Bartalan Craddog]] into giving her access to ''Argent Moon's'' communications array using surveillance footage gathered for her by the remote aspect in the station's processing systems.

As part of her plan to weaponize [[asteroidea merozoite]], Intrepid Eye had Admiral [[Graselyn Tuwa]] assassinated and her family, the only survivors of the disease, kidnapped and experimented upon to create a vaccine. | As part of her plan to weaponize [[asteroidea merozoite]], Intrepid Eye had Admiral [[Graselyn Tuwa]] assassinated and her family, the only survivors of the disease, kidnapped and experimented upon to create a vaccine. After the Tuwas' were killed and their organs harvested, Intrepid Eye had Dark Moon Enterprises deposit the corpses in the detention center of the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]]'s [[Salvation Base]] to frame the Keepers for the crime. Her remote aspect [[Argie]] was sent along with the Dark Moon operatives in their [[Turaco]]. Argie came into conflict with [[Olivia-G291]] for control of the ship, although Olivia assumed that Argie was just a Dark Moon [[smart AI]], tricking her into revealing her connection to Dark Moon.{{Ref/Novel|Ret|9}}{{Ref/Novel|Ret|10}}{{Ref/Novel|Ret|15}} Argie eventually deleted herself and the ship's navigation history to prevent the UNSC from following it back to the murder scene. Argie's self-termination was so thorough that [[Anki Hersh]]'s team was only able to determine that Argie's architecture was more compact than anything that ONI had ever developed.{{Ref/Reuse|Ret17}} | ||
