Captain Reibach refused to provide Sankar with the source of the intelligence they had, only noting that the UNSC had been burned before by them.{{Ref/Reuse|S2E1}} | Fresh off the back of a successful operation to frame [[Benjamin Giraud]] and discredit his (accurate) reporting on the origins of the [[SPARTAN-II program]], ONI agent Commander [[Maya Sankar]] was tasked by Captain [[Noah Reibach]] with using her insurrectionist alter-ego "FERO" with infiltrating the NCA encampment on Conrad's Point to gather intelligence on the situation in advance of a larger military deployment.
