In a report for the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], [[Edward Buck]] reflects on his military career, the [[SPARTAN programs]], and the [[Human-Covenant War]]. He notes that although [[human]]ity defeated the [[Covenant]], some [[Covenant remnants|remnant factions]] continue to battle the [[UNSC]] and the [[Insurrection]] continues. Buck mentions that he was just deployed to [[Talitsa]], a world controlled by the [[United Rebel Front]], to rescue the captured [[Huragok]] [[Quick to Adjust]] and his handler, [[Sadie Endesha]]. Sent by ONI Captain [[Veronica Dare]], [[SPARTAN-IVs]] Buck, [[Kojo Agu|Kojo "Romeo" Agu]], and [[Michael Crespo|Michael "Mickey" Crespo]] approach a URF military base and spot Quick to Adjust nearby. Suddenly, Buck feels a rifle pressed against the back of his helmet. As his squadmates warn him not to move, dozens of insurgents surround them. | In a report for the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]], [[Edward Buck]] reflects on his military career, the [[SPARTAN programs]], and the [[Human-Covenant War]].

Buck recalls a previous hostage situation on his homeworld [[Draco III]] in [[2554]]. He reminisces about his childhood on the planet, fishing in the [[Gold Sea]], and joining the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] after the Covenant [[First Battle of Harvest|attacked]] [[Harvest]]. After the Covenant [[Battle of Draco III|invaded]] Draco III and massacred its residents, Buck joined the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]. After the Covenant War, Draco III was resettled and its capital city of [[New Albany]] was largely restored. However, the United Rebel Front attempted to take control of the planet and established a headquarters in New Albany's [[Draco III capitol building|capitol building]]. Following the orders of Dare, Buck and his ODST fireteam [[Alpha-Nine]] attempt to assassinate Captain [[Ingridson]], the URF leader on the planet. The squad storms the capitol building, but they are ambushed by URF soldiers and | Buck recalls a previous hostage situation on his homeworld [[Draco III]] in [[2554]].

Following the orders of Dare, Buck and his ODST fireteam [[Alpha-Nine]] attempt to assassinate Captain [[Ingridson]], the URF leader on the planet. The squad storms the capitol building, but they are ambushed by URF soldiers and [[Jonathan Doherty]] is held hostage at gunpoint by Ingridson. As a stand-off ensues between them, Spartan [[Sarah Palmer]] contacts Buck and asks if he requires her assistance. Buck remembers his last encounter with Palmer, when she was a lance corporal and a fellow ODST. During the [[Battle of Sargasso]] in [[2546]], Alpha-Nine and Palmer's squad, [[Gamma-Six]], were both assigned to protect [[Lethbridge Industrial]] facilities at the town of [[Belisk]]. While ONI had Gamma-Six unknowingly serve as a distraction, Alpha-Nine—then composed of Buck, [[Gomez (ODST)|Gomez]], [[Svensdottir]], and [[Samrat]]—was tasked with retrieving a valuable ONI chip containing data and research located in Lethbridge's headquarters in the town. Captain Dare coordinates the mission, and Buck vocally voices his disapproval of the operation. | ||
Buck reminisces about the first time he met Veronica Dare in [[2545]] after he was ordered to take shore leave when Draco III was attacked. Meeting at [[Castellaneta]], a resort orbiting [[Saturn]], the two spent the week together, until Dare revealed that she was an ONI operative and the two parted on rough terms. Back at Sargasso, Buck and his squad reluctantly agree to carry out Dare's mission. After Alpha-Nine eliminates the scattered [[Sangheili]], [[Jiralhanae]], and [[Unggoy]] soldiers at the Lethbridge headquarters, Buck retrieves the data chip and the squad prepares to leave the town in a civilian truck. While en route back to base, Buck intercepts a transmission from Palmer to Command requesting extraction. When Command is unable to extract Palmer and her squad due to the overwhelming amount of hostiles at her position, Buck disobeys Dare's orders and leads his squad on a mission to rescue Palmer and her squad. By the time Alpha-Nine arrives at Palmer's location, the rest of her squad has been killed. Together, the five ODSTs eliminate the Jiralhanae, [[Kig-Yar]], Unggoy, and [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] in the area and return to base in the truck. For disobeying her orders, Dare threatens to charge him with insubordination and warns him to trust her in the future. The two avoided each other for a majority of the war's remainder. Buck jumps to his first encounter with the SPARTAN-IV program in [[2553]]. While on vacation on [[Sundown]] with Dare, former [[SPARTAN-III]] [[Jun-A266]] meets with Buck and offers him a position in the first class of SPARTAN-IVs. Much to Jun's surprise, Buck declines as he feels that he would be abandoning his teammates and Dare. | Buck reminisces about the first time he met Veronica Dare in [[2545]] after he was ordered to take shore leave when Draco III was attacked.
