On [[2526#March|March 20]], six Spartans who were not confined to the infirmary—including John-117—attended a funeral service for the two-hundred-and-three men and women who lost their lives at Seoba. Held in the command hangar of the ''Vanishing Point'' as it sat in a high parabolic orbit around Biko, the ceremony included an honor company of a hundred-and-one enlisted personnel in their dress blues, including the six Spartans and Avery Johnson. After the service, Lieutenant Commander Nyeto—the de facto commander of Task Force Yama after Ascot's death—approached John, who asked if he'd reconsider sidelining them. Nyeto promised that the Spartans would be seeing all the action they could handle for the rest of the operation. However, Crowther again contested this on the basis of them being too young, forcing the lieutenant commander to back down by threatening him with a report to a UNSC board of inquiry. The Black Daggers would board the [[Fleet of Inexorable Obedience|incoming fleet]] alone. As everyone left the hangar, Crowther revealed to Johnson that he did not trust Nyeto. He believed that the Spartans were combat-ready, and he was instead sending them on a mission to disrupt Covenant supply lines at [[Etalan]].{{Ref/Reuse|HSS16}} | On [[2526#March|March 20]], six Spartans who were not confined to the infirmary—including John-117—attended a funeral service for the two-hundred-and-three men and women who lost their lives at Seoba.

Later that same day, Fred and the rest of Blue Team had gathered in one of the ''Vanishing Point''{{'}}s small maintenance hangars, wearing plain black utilities as their armor underwent maintenance and repairs. Four other Spartans sat in a back corner of the hangar, familiarizing themselves with Covenant weapons that had been recovered at Seoba. Meanwhile, the anticipated Covenant fleet had arrived and begun its assault on Biko. Blue Team watched on a bulkhead monitor as the planet's meager navy responded and approached the greater force, consisting of around one hundred Covenant warships. Each capital ship had swarms of fighters sticking close to their hull in an escort pattern and was accelerating rapidly toward the Bikon vessels, a strange and unexpected tactic. Fred was the first to comment on this unusual sight, jokingly suggesting that their commanders had never been to fleet warfare school. The four Spartans shared their theories as to why the Covenant was using this strategy, and Kelly came to the conclusion that they were maintaining a fighter screen to prevent boarding attempts, like the one the Spartans had performed at Netherop. As Blue Team discussed how the Covenant might have figured out what their plan was, Johnson entered the hangar to deliver orders from Crowther. He told them that the colonel had realized that they were battle-ready, and that he was sending them on a secret mission to Etalan. Due to Crowther's previous statements, the Spartans had a hard time believing this until Johnson leveled with them and revealed that Crowther was suspicious of Nyeto, and that was why he was being so secretive. The Spartans shared their own suspicions of Nyeto and John decided that they would take the mission.{{Ref/ | Later that same day, Fred and the rest of Blue Team had gathered in one of the ''Vanishing Point''{{'}}s small maintenance hangars, wearing plain black utilities as their armor underwent maintenance and repairs.
