The following day, the ''Silent Joe'' arrived in the [[Shaps system]] in pursuit of [[Stolen Faith|a]] [[Mudoat starsloop]] that an undercover [[Ferret]] team led by [[Veta Lopis]] had secured passage on.<ref name="R10"/> The purpose of following the [[Kig-Yar]]-crewed vessel was to discover the location of a primary base of operations for the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and to potentially rescue hostages the group was suspected of kidnapping. It soon became clear that [[Salvation Base|the base]] they were looking for was located on [[Taram]], a [[natural satellite|moon]] of [[Pydoryn]]. Blue Team was ready to insert via [[Owl]] but was recalled to the situation room by [[Captain]] [[Piers Ewen]] before they could launch. It seemed that the Keepers had been alerted that something was afoot, making the mission much riskier. Fred vocally pushed back against the idea that the mission had to be cancelled because of this, which Damon noted had plainly irritated Ewen. Speaking across [[TEAMCOM]] for all three Spartans to hear, Damon said that Fred should apologize in accordance with protocol. A short time later, the A.I. offered condolences to him when it appeared that Lopis and the rest of her team had perished, as Damon had been able to tell Fred was fond of them. The captain eventually instructed [[Anki Hersh|his senior intelligence analyst]] to ping the Ferrets and in response, a transmission from [[Olivia-G291]] stated that the situation on the ground was "dark and uncertain". Damon recognized that she was using a redundancy code to get a hidden message across. Damon estimated that there was an 83.3% chance that the [[Spartan-III]] was trying to say [[Dark Moon Enterprises]] was involved with what happened to the missing persons they were after. Fred passed on his A.I.'s suspisocions, saying that Damon thought Dark Moon was behind their kidnapping, to which Damon sharply corrected him, saying that he had only said they might be ''involved''.<ref name="R10">'''[[Halo: Retribution]]''', chapter 10</ref> | The following day, the ''Silent Joe'' arrived in the [[Shaps system]] in pursuit of [[Stolen Faith|a]] [[Mudoat starsloop]] that an undercover [[Ferret]] team led by [[Veta Lopis]] had secured passage on.<ref name="R10"/> The purpose of following the [[Kig-Yar]]-crewed vessel was to discover the location of a primary base of operations for the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and to potentially rescue hostages the group was suspected of kidnapping.

While the ''[[Silent Claw]]'' was halfway through its insertion run to land the Spartans, Damon intercepted a recall order that went out from [[Taram]] to [[Fleet of Glory|the Keeper fleet]] ordering all vessels which had launched from [[Salvation Base]] to return.<ref name="R14">'''[[Halo: Retribution]]''', chapter 14</ref> Fred had Damon sync his [[HUD]] with the readouts from the Owl's cockpit. Since a quiet infiltration was almost certainly no longer an option, Fred declared they were going to plan Delta, which involved a more direct approach. Under his breath he muttered that he hoped they wouldn't have to revert to plan Echo, to which Damon stated that no such plan existed. Fred did not realize that he had been speaking out loud, so he verbally rebuked Damon for reading his mind, eve though the A.I. had done no such thing.<ref name="R14"/> | |||
