After being assigned to Kilo-Five, Beloi accompanied the team on a number of missions, operating on the {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}. These included dropping off tagged weaponry to [[Avu Med 'Telcam]] on [[New Llanelli]] to aid the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth|Abiding Truth]] insurgents, evacuating ONI agent [[Mike Spenser]] from the planet [[Reynes]], and an attempt to aid the {{UNSCShip|Ariadne}}, dead in space near [[Venezia]], only to arrive too late and witness the ship's destruction.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 67''</ref><ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 161''</ref> | After being assigned to Kilo-Five, Beloi accompanied the team on a number of missions, operating on the {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}.

Later on, they entered [[Trevelyan|Shield World 006]], a [[Forerunner]] [[Dyson sphere]], and recovered the human survivors inside while arresting [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] under orders from Admiral Parangosky. Having learned the tragic truth behind the Spartan-II's and the fate of their parents, Vaz approached Dr. Halsey’s compartment in an attempt to kill her but was convinced by BB to walk away.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 410''</ref> | ||

There, [[Thel 'Vadam]] and Lord Hood discussed continued peace and the fragile state of both their species. Phillips accepted an offer from 'Vadam to return and study Sangheili culture on their homeworld.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 358-361''</ref> Equipped with a fragment of BB, Phillips journeyed to Sanghelios, but not before being jested by Vaz about how the Sangheili couldn't pronounce his name correctly.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 419''</ref> | ||

Once in Spenser's hideout in the city of [[New Tyne]], Spencer showed them pictures of all the insurrectionist leaders based on the planet. Vaz looked through the pictures and found one of them to be Naomi’s own father, [[Staffan Sentzke]]. However, their investigation was put on hold after an explosion in [[Ontom]], Sanghelios severed Kilo-Five's communication with BB's fragment and Phillips. They were retrieved by ''Port Stanley'' and sent in to recover him. | ||

Arriving at Sanghelios during [[ | Arriving at Sanghelios during [[Sangheili civil war|'Telcam's assault on Vadam]], Kilo-Five searched for Phillips in the [[Temple of the Abiding Truth]]. They were initially refused entry into the temple by [[Olar]] because they were nonbelievers. As BB negotiated with him, a nearby Sangheili crowd became aggravated by their presence. Olar relented and allowed Kilo-Five inside the temple. After they realized that Phillips was no longer inside, they evacuated as the Sangheili mob stormed the area. <ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 179''</ref> | ||
BB eventually located Phillips through an intercepted communication and they quickly traveled to [[Nes'alun Keep]] in [[Acroli]] to evacuate him. They extracted Phillips in the midst of a skirmish at the keep. When asked by the keep's lady, [[Elar 'Nas]], why they were abandoning them, Vaz replied "Not my war." | BB eventually located Phillips through an intercepted communication and they quickly traveled to [[Nes'alun Keep]] in [[Acroli]] to evacuate him. They extracted Phillips in the midst of a skirmish at the keep. When asked by the keep's lady, [[Elar 'Nas]], why they were abandoning them, Vaz replied "Not my war." During their evacuation, their pelican ''[[Tart-Cart]]'' was damaged by a [[Banshee]], forcing Devereaux to put her down for repairs. They were followed by a [[Phantom]] piloted by [[Forze 'Mdama]], who had been sent by 'Telcam to recover Phillips for them. Vaz conversed with Forze as he waited for 'Telcam's consent to hand Phillips over to them. After being instructed to help them with repairs, Forze handed over some pipes and wire and left. Devereaux was then able to get ''Tart-Cart'' off the ground. | ||
On their flight back to ''Port Stanley'' a fire erupted and they had to re-route to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. There, they witnessed ''Infinity'' in action as it helped the Arbiter by destroying many of the Abiding Truth's vessels. Parangosky then ordered them to extract their informant 'Telcam from the ground. As Kilo-Five abducted 'Telcam from the battle, ''Port Stanley'' posed as a [[Kig-Yar]] pirate ship and destroyed a few of 'Vadam's ships in order to maintain the stalemate between the two factions. They dropped 'Telcam off on New Llanelli and were later retrieved by ''Port Stanley''. | On their flight back to ''Port Stanley'' a fire erupted and they had to re-route to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.

Beloi holds strong personal concepts of right and wrong and is uncompromising in his moral views, having a tendency of seeing moral conflicts as black and white.<ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 261''</ref> As a result, he was greatly distraught after learning about the origins of the SPARTAN-II and [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] programs as well as the young age of the SPARTAN-IIIs of [[SPARTAN-III Gamma Company|Gamma Company]].<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 400-401''</ref> His sense of justice can be quite extreme, as demonstrated when he planned on killing Dr. Halsey for the suffering caused as a result of the SPARTAN-II program, convinced that justice would never be served otherwise. | |||
