When a Covenant [[Bloodstar Flotilla|flotilla]] arrived in-system on [[2526#March|March 19]], [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]] assigned [[John-117]] and his compatriots to guard the prisoners and get them loaded into the ''Emmeline'', not wanting to send the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] into battle after discovering their distressingly young ages.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS11|HSS|Chapter=11}} The insurrectionist prisoners—loyal to many different factions, from the [[Biko Independence Army]] to the [[Gao Liberation Force]]—were gathered in [[Subsurface Maintenance Grotto 6M430]] and directed to board the ''Emmeline'' via its loading ramp.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS13}} | When a Covenant [[Bloodstar Flotilla|flotilla]] arrived in-system on [[2526#March|March 19]], [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]] assigned [[John-117]] and his compatriots to guard the prisoners and get them loaded into the ''Emmeline'', not wanting to send the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartans]] into battle after discovering their distressingly young ages.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS11|HSS|Chapter=11}} The insurrectionist prisoners—loyal to many different factions, from the [[Biko Independence Army]] to the [[Gao Liberation Force]]—were gathered in [[Subsurface Maintenance Grotto 6M430]] and directed to board the ''Emmeline'' via its loading ramp.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS13}} | ||

John knew that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] would want to interrogate such a high-ranking member of the URF, so he ordered the line of prisoners to halt. Using his [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]]'s onboard computer, he checked the identity of the individual, who turned out to be [[General]] [[Harper Garvin]], and called him forward. After a failed attempt by [[Petora Zoyas|another rebel]] to stall, Garvin complied. While the prisoners resumed their boarding of the ''Emmeline'', Garvin attempted to work some details about the Spartans out of John, who was busy listening Task Force Yama's command [[COM|channel]]. In the process of launching to meet the Covenant threat, [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[Halima Ascot]]'s [[prowler]], the {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}} had been shot down, crashing into the quarry. [[Plasma]] bombardment began to shake the grotto, injuring some of the prisoners with falling ice. John ordered the rest to carry their wounded into the ''Emmeline'', warning that anyone who delayed would die in the quarry.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS13}} | ||
Continuing to listen to the command channel, John could tell that Crowther would be unable to send any of [[21st Space Assault Battalion|his men]] to the ''Starry Night''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crash site, and that he did not want to risk another prowler to investigate either. Not wanting to give up on Captain Ascot and her crew, or allow the Covenant access to a prowler, John decided that he and his teammates would instead go after the ''Starry Night''. After telling Garvin to rejoin his people, he informed ''Emmeline''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s pilot that she and her flight crew would be leaving without them. When the pilot protested to launching without the Spartans to watch the prisoners, John rebuked her and reminded her to follow flight deck isolation protocols, which included depressurizing the troop bay if necessary. With that, the Spartans left the grotto.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS13}} | Continuing to listen to the command channel, John could tell that Crowther would be unable to send any of [[21st Space Assault Battalion|his men]] to the ''Starry Night''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s crash site, and that he did not want to risk another prowler to investigate either.
