| ==Prelude== | | ==Prelude== |
| In 2553, the UNSC's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]], escorted by the [[Spartan]]s of [[Blue Team]], arrived on the planet Gao to investigate a transmission believed to have originated from a Forerunner [[ancilla]] on the planet. Following the transmission, there had also been reports of miraculous cures found inside the planet's vast [[Montero Cave System]]. The research battalion's arrival was followed by several brutal murders of Gao natives in the caverns, prompting the [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] to dispatch Special Inspector [[Veta Lopis]] and her field team to investigate. However, the situation escalated into an all-out crisis when [[Insurrectionist]] sympathizers within Gao's government, headed by would-be president [[Arlo Casille]], decided to eliminate the UNSC forces and take control of the ancilla. They allied themselves with the militant cult [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and smuggled them on Gao, seeking to use the Keepers as a proxy force through which to accomplish their goals without attacking the UNSC directly.{{Ref/Reuse|hll}}
| | {{Article Quote|It is [[2553]], and the three-decade long [[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]] that defined a generation has suddenly drawn to a close. Yet, in the remotest parts of [[human]] space, tensions remain that threaten to overflow into another full-scale conflict. Beneath the surface of the planet [[Gao]] lies a vast cavern system renowned for its therapeutic effects and rumored miraculous cures. But now Gao natives are turning up brutally murdered down there—violent acts that happen to coincide with the recent arrival of a [[UNSC]] research battalion protected by [[SPARTAN programs|Spartan]] [[Blue Team]], led by the renowned [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] [[Fred-104]]. |

| The UNSC presence in the village of [[Wendosa]] included the 717th's Charlie Company, comprising of 150 heavy infantry marines armed with heavy machine guns, [[LAU-65D/SGM-151 missile pod|missile pods]], [[M6 Spartan Laser|nonlinear lasers]] and [[M41 SPNKR|rocket]] and [[M319 grenade launcher|grenade]] launchers. The sole road into the village was blockaded by two [[M12 Warthog]]s armed with [[M41 Extended Light Anti-Aircraft Gun|M41 anti-aircraft guns]] and the area surrounding the village was mined and trapped, with a series of motion sensors strung up around the perimeter, turning the village into a veritable fortress.<ref name="LL11">'''Halo: Last Light''', ''chapter 11''</ref>
| | Maverick detective [[Veta Lopis]] of the [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] is only trying to do her job as the Special Inspector assigned to catch a serial killer—one who is possibly hiding within the Spartan ranks—but she never anticipates the situation spiraling out of control into an all-out crisis. When Gao is revealed to harbor ancient [[Forerunner]] technology that could solidify the UNSC’s military supremacy for centuries to come, [[Insurrectionist|Insurrection]] loyalists within the planetary government will do anything—even align with a vicious [[Covenant remnants|faction]] of what remains of the [[Covenant]]—to ensure that never happens….<ref name="Azure Noir">[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-azure-noir '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Canon Fodder - Azure Noir'']</ref>}} |

| ==The Operation==
| |
| Blue team was tasked with escorting the GMoP investigation teams to the crime scenes by [[Major]] [[Ira Halal]], where they started collecting evidence and deployed [[Trace evidence bot|Spiders]]. Veta Lopis initially suspected Fred and the other Spartan-IIs due to the nature of the brutal murders. While the team was investigating crime scene charlie, Major Halal went to document another body found at Bivouac Site Tango under Wendosa. Fred and Lopis later returned back to the [[Montero Vitality Center]] on the surface.
| |
| Meanwhile, Intrepid eye and the Huragok [[Roams Alone]] came across a scouting party of marines and the ancilla had to kill Private Hayes by electrocution as he had spotted her, he managed to get a few shots on intrepid and the huragok, resulting in Roams Alone losing his buoyant gases, when Major Halal came to investigate, he was dragged for a little distance by the ancilla then killed when she got his tacpad containing a fragment of Wendell, with whom she conversed and inquired about the status of [[Shaps III|Wuatera Thresis]], and learned that it had been glassed by the [[Pious Inquisitor]].
