  • Battle of Ealen IV: Infinity arrives at Ealen IV. Lord Hood meets with Thel 'Vadam and the Jiralhanae Chieftain Lydus. While negotiating, the delegates come under attack from Covenant mercenaries working for a group of human insurgents, the New Colonial Alliance. The SPARTAN-IVs defend the ambassadors, who escape into a nearby parts depot.[14]
  • Shipmaster Vata 'Gajat arrives on Ealen IV to personally oversee the attack, while the ambassadors escape through a series of tunnels leading to a fortified redoubt in which they could take refuge in. Captain Thomas Lasky orders Commander Palmer and the protection detail to escort the delegation to the redoubt, while he and Spartan Naiya Ray try to reestablish communications with the fleet above the planet.[15]
  • As Fireteam Jackknife arrive at the redoubt, Vladimir Scruggs betrays his own team, killing them and the bodyguards. He then informs Commander Palmer it is safe to bring the delegates into the redoubt.[15]
  • In orbit, the Sangheili and Jiralhanae ships begin to deploy forces against each other due to the ambiguity of the situation on the ground.[16]
  • Lasky and Ray destroy the reactor generating the Covenant jamming signal, restoring communications.[16]

Meeting Janecek's informant Zef 'Trahl, they learn that the traitor is Daniel Clayton, a former UNSC captain and the illegitimate son of Spirit of Fire's commanding officer (and Hood's mentor), Captain James Cutter.[18]
  • The UNSC supposedly discover the whereabouts of Spirit of Fire using data from Pilgrims Pride. Infinity sets out to rescue the older ship. Upon arrival at the Spirit's supposed coordinates near Oth Lodon, however, they find a Covenant battlestation manned by the New Colonial Alliance. Having lured Infinity into a trap, Captain Daniel Clayton fires on the UNSC vessel with the station's energy projector, killing Commander Bradley and paralyzing Fleet Admiral Hood.[18]
  • Clayton orders 'Gajat to stop the Spartans who are en route to the station, but 'Gajat decides to destroy Infinity instead. Fireteam Majestic and Commander Palmer board and secure the station, then destroy 'Gajat's corvette with the energy projector. Clayton is apprehended and transported to Infinity.[19]

Clayton tells Hood the New Colonial Alliance is stronger than before and have agents on every colony, as well as Earth.
