Over twenty-eight years later, Sparks and everyone else were awakened to find themselves drifting above the extragalactic [[Installation 00]], also known as the Ark. There, the vessel's forces were forced to contend with the [[Banished]], a heavily-armed faction of ex-Covenant that sought to control the Ark largely due to its capacity for producing [[Halo]] superweapons. After the departure of [[Installation 09|a newly-created]] [[Halo ring]] put it beyond the Banished's grasp on [[2559|April 2, 2559]], the [[Mgalekgolo]] pair known as [[Colony]] hatched a plot which [[James Cutter]], captain of the ''Spirit of Fire'', had no choice but to respond to. Sparks was attached to [[Sunray 1-1]], which was tasked with stopping Colony's scheme as part of [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]]. He was accompanied on this mission by [[Major]] [[Elijah Vaughan]], [[Warrant Officer]] [[Alannah Quinn]], [[Petty Officer]] [[Helena Gruss]], and [[Corporal]] [[Chloe Turpin]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFFrosty}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

Sunray's most recent missions involve the elimination of Banished commanders identified by Isabel as being critical to Atriox's attempts to harness the Ark's power. Shortly after SPEARBREAKER, Sunray accomplished a successful clandestine assassination of a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Captain (Covenant)|captain]]. Employing tactics gleaned from archived after-action reports from [[Operation: GREY VEIL]] on [[Heian]], Sparks landed a killshot that has quickly become legend amongst other marksmen aboard the ''Spirit of Fire''.{{Ref/Reuse|CF100}} Following this assassination, the team retreated to [[Quebec Base]] with [[thorn beast]] meat looted from the Banished base, and spent the evening of May 21, 2559 enjoying a cookout with the Marine forces who had supported their mission.{{Ref/Reuse|Fireside}}
Upon returning from their successful mission, Sunray wasted no time in moving on to meet additional challenges. Deployed into some of the most hostile, Banished-occupied areas of Installation 00, Sunray has encountered hostile resistance from [[Jiralhanae Warlord|Brute Warlords]], errant [[Sentinels]], and Forerunner [[armiger]] contingents alike.{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=24|M=09|Y=2021}}

Sparks is something of a wildcard even among the Spirit of Fire's impressively large cast of misfits and rogues. His long list of non-judicial punishments and reprimands would have landed him a full-time billet in the ship's brig were it not for two unique qualities: his unparalleled skill with an [[SRS99 series|SRS99 anti-materiel rifle]] and his seemingly-supernatural ability to acquire the rarest (and tastiest) meal packs on the ship. {{Ref/Reuse|CFFrosty}}{{Ref/Reuse|PL}}

Sparks is renowned in Sunray as the oldest member of the team, leading to other members joking about his age as an exaggerated hundreds of years old. He demonstrates a respect for military classification and accuracy in reporting - frequently interrupting his teammates' recount of his sniper kill shot to correct them on trivial pieces of information - though with a wry smile on his face.{{Ref/Reuse|Fireside}}
