On [[2558|May 8, 2558]], a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[spy drone]] was sent to investigate the barren surface of the unclaimed planet [[Ven III]]—located at the borders of the [[Joint Occupation Zone]]—after a group of [[Kig-Yar]] settled on the planet and were operating in an old [[Covenant]] research laboratory. While scouting out the planet, the drone discovered the diseased corpses of the Kig-Yar inside the laboratory and an unidentified [[Sangheili Storm]] that had left the laboratory holding a canister several hours earlier. [[Serin Osman|Admiral Serin Osman]], [[Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence|Commander-in-Chief of the]] [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], was alerted of the discovery. The Kig-Yar were discovered to have been killed by an unknown [[bioweapon|biological agent]] they were manufacturing within the laboratory. | On [[2558|May 8, 2558]], a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[spy drone]] was sent to investigate the barren surface of the unclaimed planet [[Ven III]]—located at the borders of the [[Joint Occupation Zone]]—after a group of [[Kig-Yar]] settled on the planet and were operating in an old [[Covenant]] research laboratory.

Admiral Osman contacted [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Thomas Lasky]] aboard {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} and briefed him on the situation, stating that the Sangheili may be an agent of [[Jul 'Mdama]] and may have double-crossed the Kig-Yar in the lab, or that they released the bioweapon on themselves by accident.

Osman ordered Lasky to deal with the situation while exercising extreme caution before the Sangheili could use the bioweapon against [[human]]ity. Lasky hand-picked a team of two [[SPARTAN-IV program|SPARTAN-IVs]], [[Naiya Ray]] and [[Gabriel Thorne]]. Due to the nature of the mission, Lasky decided that he must use the smallest team possible out of risk of alerting the target Sangheili to the threat and losing him in Ven III's extensive tunnel systems. After being briefed, the two Spartans were sent to Ven III.<ref name="HE11"/> | ||
