On [[2553#April|April 14, 2553]], Shaps III was partially [[glassing|glassed]] by the {{ | On [[2553#April|April 14, 2553]], Shaps III was partially [[glassing|glassed]] by the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]''. In response, Line Installation 444-447 sent an automated distress signal to Covert Support Base 4276, awakening Intrepid Eye from her stasis. She requested a status report, but her calls were left unanswered. When she attempted to launch a reconnaissance drone,{{Ref/Reuse|ll36}} a massive cave-in occurred that killed all Huragok but Roams Alone{{Ref/Reuse|ll111}} and left Covert Support Base 4276 entirely nonfunctional; the base's external communications array was damaged and the only one that picked up Intrepid Eye's distress signal was Commander [[Murtag Nelson]] of the [[United Nations Space Command]]. While investigating the problem with the communications array, Intrepid Eye began to realize that the cave system was now "infested" with [[human]]s that had since colonized Gao. Intrepid Eye was tempted to simply kill the intruding humans, but held back as this would have violated protocol and compromised the base's secrecy. To her frustration, however, the intensely curious Roams Alone started to inspect the humans and attend to any illnesses some of them had, though he eliminated the memories of his or Intrepid Eye's presence. The healed humans returned to the surface claiming that the cave had healing powers, leading to many more humans entering the cave systems. Intrepid Eye began insisting for Roams Alone to leave the humans alone in order to avoid attracting any more attention to herself or the base. | ||
By [[2553#May|May 14, 2553]], the UNSC's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] arrived at Gao with the intentions of capturing the ancilla. Intrepid Eye utilized her eight remaining [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s to engage the UNSC forces, though four were eventually destroyed. Learning that the UNSC was an unwelcome presence on the traditionally independent Gao, Intrepid Eye intended to generate conflict among the humans to force her UNSC pursuers to withdraw from the planet. In order to accomplish this, she brutally murdered several Gao civilians who had wandered into the cave system despite the UNSC declaring the area off-limits, using only brute force rather than particle beams or electricity to create ambiguity as to the perpetrator. Roams Alone attempted to heal some of her victims, to no effect as Intrepid Eye had mutilated them too thoroughly. This caused the [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] to carry out an investigation in the Montero Cave System to discover the cause of the murders. With UNSC and GMoP forces searching the cave systems for Intrepid Eye and a murderer respectively, the ancilla and Roams Alone were forced to continuously avoid their pursuers while attempting to contact the rest of the ecumene.{{Ref/Reuse|ll36}} | By [[2553#May|May 14, 2553]], the UNSC's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] arrived at Gao with the intentions of capturing the ancilla.
