In [[2553#May|May 2553]], Blue Team was attached to ONI's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE|deployed]] to the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]] to search for a [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]], [[Intrepid Eye]], that had been detected on the planet by the battalion's [[Commander]] [[Murtag Nelson]]. The UNSC's presence on the planet was largely undesired by the traditionally independent Gao. For over a month, the 717th attempted to capture the ancilla while being harassed by her complement of [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Additionally, upon learning of the UNSC's intentions, Intrepid Eye began covertly murdering Gao citizens in the [[Montero Cave System]] in an effort to create discord between the Gaos and the UNSC. The [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] dispatched [[Special inspector|Special Inspector]] [[Veta Lopis]] and her field team to find the murderer and Nelson had members of Blue Team aid her in her efforts to allow the UNSC to return searching for the ancilla without Gao interference. Lopis was initially convinced that the murderer was one of the Spartans, with her suspicions eventually focusing on Mark in particular.<ref name="hll"/> | In [[2553#May|May 2553]], Blue Team was attached to ONI's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE|deployed]] to the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]] to search for a [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]], [[Intrepid Eye]], that had been detected on the planet by the battalion's [[Commander]] [[Murtag Nelson]].

On [[2553#July|July 4, 2553]], Ash, Olivia, Mark and Fred accompanied Veta Lopis and her partner [[Cirilo]] to the last known location of [[Major]] [[Ira Halal]] and [[Private]] [[Hayes]], both of whom turned out to have been murdered. The Gao investigators decided to follow a trail of an unidentified fluid—in fact belonging to the wounded [[Huragok]] [[Roams Alone]]—deeper into the caverns, with the Spartans in tow. As they reached a large cavern, after nearly a twelve hours' descent, Intrepid Eye attacked the humans with her last four remaining Sentinels. Though the Spartans were able to destroy the Sentinels, Cirilo was killed and Olivia was seriously wounded. Ash's shoulder was also dislocated, though Lopis managed to pop it back into place. Ordering the others to stay put, Fred left to investigate the area in hopes of finding the [[Covert Support Base 4276|Forerunner base]] sought by the 717th. While waiting for Fred, the Spartans and Lopis were approached by Roams Alone, a [[Lifeworker]] Huragok who began to heal Olivia's wounds. Fred eventually returned and decided that the party should take the Huragok with them, return to the surface and report to Nelson.<ref name="hll"/> | On [[2553#July|July 4, 2553]], Ash, Olivia, Mark and Fred accompanied Veta Lopis and her partner [[Cirilo]] to the last known location of [[Major]] [[Ira Halal]] and [[Private]] [[Hayes]], both of whom turned out to have been murdered.
