{{Quote|We need Gray Team. This is what they're trained to do-take orders and execute them against threats to humanity.|Commander [[Greg van Eekhour]] about Gray Team.}}
{{Quote|We voted. We took the intel we had and we made a decision. We followed protocol. With Earth backed into a corner, we were confident humanity was about to be destroyed. So. What would you do if you knew everything you'd spent your life fighting for was about to be erased?|Jai to [[Melody Azikiwe]] about morally difficult decisions.}}
Soon after the Fall of Reach, on September, 2552, Gray Team participated in a top secret ONI mission called [[Operation: SUNSPEAR]]. The mission's goal was to locate and terminate as many Sangheili naval commanders responsible for the destruction of human worlds as possible. As the members of Gray Team proceeded with the operation, they received a message from command, that the Covenant had managed to locate the [[Sol system]], and they had to follow through ''Condition Endgame''. After that, they lost contact, and, unable to reach [[Sanghelios]], as it was too well protected, Gray Team decided to venture to one of the other Sangheili worlds. Without knowledge that the war was over with a peace treaty, in December, 2552, the Spartans arrived on [[Glyke]], where they deployed and detonated a [[NOVA bomb]], which resulted in the complete destruction of the planet. As they escaped the blast, their prowler was heavily damaged, so the Spartans had to use the [[Class-5 Bumblebee|lifeboat]]. Without any deep-space comms equipment, Gray Team spent few days waiting for pickup, thinking hardly about their decision, before going into cryosleep.

For the next six years they drifted in space among the debris of Glyke, until in mid [[2558]], their [[Whiskey Tango Foxtrot One|lifeboat]] was recovered by Sangheili fleetmaster [[Rojka 'Kaasan]] and brought to his flagship, the [[ORS-class heavy cruiser]] ''[[Unwavering Discipline]]''. He hid the Spartans' [[cryo chamber]]s in one of the ship storage rooms under guard, as he understood the Spartans' role in the destruction of his homeworld, Glyke. He kept this find a secret, as he planned to use these ''Demon Three'' as a mean of trade with humans in order to gain from them what he wanted for his new home, [[Carrow|Rakoi]].
