Dalu was able to survive the ODST deployment onto the ring, and was ultimately picked to head up reinforcement deployments to the raid on the Truth and Reconciliation, serving as supply master for the mission. Each time Echo 419 deployed a fresh wave of Marines into the fighting, Dalu and his team served to scavenge the battlefield for armaments, coordinating the collection of Covenant arms including plasma pistols, plasma rifles, needlers, power packs, communications equipment, hand tools and even food.
