In [[2552#August|August]] [[2552]],<ref name="dirt153">'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[Dirt]]", ''page 153''</ref> the city was invaded by the [[Covenant]], who proceeded to dig downriver of the city in search of [[Forerunner]] artifacts. This prompted the UNSC to send in a [[company]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]] for a snatch-and-run operation; they would steal the artifacts then retreat from the planet. However, a nine-man team of ODSTs had their own agenda.


The nine ODSTs were all [[Colonial Military Administration]] veterans, and felt that they had given enough to the UNSC cause. Their plan was to break into a bank in the city center, and use a spare [[Pelican]] dropship to steal the gold and platinum ingots stored in the bank's vault. Their justification was that the imminent [[glassing]] of the city meant that the valuables "didn't exist anymore", and that the stolen goods wouldn't be missed. The team would use the gold to retire.

They encountered a flaw in their plan when five of the ODSTs discovered that a schoolteacher and a group of children had taken refuge in the bank vault. A dispute again. [[Gage Yevgenny]] wanted to abandon the theft and evacuate the children. [[Felicia Sanderson]] wanted to call in an extra Pelican to evacuate them, and use their own to rob the bank. [[Sita]], [[Dale]], and [[Orrin]] were in favor of abandoning the citizens to their deaths. Tempers flared, and the ODSTs turned their weapons on each other; of the five ODSTs in the vault, only Gage was left alive.
