[[Operation: SILENT STORM]] would have them and the [[ODST]]s of the [[21st Space Assault Battalion]] board and destroy Covenant vessels and [[Space station|station]]s in an attempt to slow their destructive [[Massacre of the Outer Colonies|advance]] through the [[Outer Colonies]]. For the duration of the operation, the Spartans would be assigned to [[Task Force Yama]], a veritable fleet of prowlers that would serve as both transport and support. As [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience|a Covenant fleet]] was [[Attack on Etalan|currently]] [[glassing]] the colony of [[Etalan]], the nearby world of [[Biko]] was chosen as the theater for the [[task force]] to launch its first attack. Specifically, [[Seoba Ice Quarry|an abandoned ice quarry]] on its third [[Natural satellite|moon]] of [[Seoba]] was selected to house the prowlers until the time was right.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS5|HSS|Chapter=5}} | ||
During the ten-day voyage through [[slipspace]], the Spartans trained with the ODSTs in the {{UNSCShip|Vanishing Point}}'s mission preparation hold. In each exercise, the Spartan made short work of the veteran marines until [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Johnson]] taught them unorthodox strategies that proved to be much more effective against the supersoldiers. After four days of training, [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]] had both his ODSTs and the Spartans gather in the vessel's drop hangar to be briefed on the specifics of the operation. Despite their exemplary performance against his ODSTs, Crowther decided that the Spartans would act more as support, rather than leading the operations in their own teams. His plan was to split up the Spartans, with each of the twelve carrying a [[Nuclear weapon|nuke]] for a single platoon of Black Daggers. This way, they could destroy many targets in a single battle, but it severely diminished the effectiveness of the Spartans. John-117 expressed his disagreement with Crowther, who admitted his suspicions that they were "just kids" and therefore less reliable than his experienced marines. Daisy broke formation and angled herself at Crowther in a challenging manner. In response, he marched up to her and requested that she tell him her age. John told her to stand down, but she stood her ground and proclaimed that their age did not matter, and that it was their training that made them superior. Crowther replied saying that combat experience matters more than anything.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS5}} | During the ten-day voyage through [[slipspace]], the Spartans trained with the ODSTs in the {{UNSCShip|Vanishing Point}}'s mission preparation hold.
