During the Requiem Campaign, UNSC forces launched a raid on the location known as "Lockup" in order to destroy a Covenant listening post.

Prelude

At some point, a UNSC Army Pelican was shot down in "the Cauldron" and assumed destroyed. However, the Pelican survived intact and was captured by the Covenant who transported it to "Lockup." Tying energy tethers from the Forerunner structure into the dropship's comm systems, the Covenant were able to turn the Pelican into a listening post to spy on the UNSC's communications and anticipate their moves in battle.

During the Assault on Cyclone, Spartan Jared Miller the strange ability of the Covenant to seemingly predict Fireteam Crimson and Fireteam Kodiak's movements, but couldn't determine the source of it though he doubted it was a coincidence. While Crimson was helping Fireteam Lancer attack a Covenant base in the "Warrens," Poker Squad captured a wounded Sangheili who offered up the location of the Covenant listening post in exchange for his life. Palmer ordered Poker to check the intel and make the deal, causing the prisoner to point them to "Lockup."
