In [[2546]], Dare ordered ODST squad [[Alpha-Nine]], led by Buck, to retrieve important research data from a laboratory at Lethbridge's headquarters in the town of [[Belisk]] before the Covenant did.<ref>'''[[Halo: New Blood]]''', ''page 25''</ref> ONI intentionally kept the rest of the UNSC unaware of Alpha-Nine's mission. Dare believed that if the UNSC knew about the data, they would engage in standard operating procedure by encircling the lab and digging in. By doing so, the Covenant would become aware that the laboratory contained something valuable to the UNSC. Thus, [[Gamma-Six|another ODST squad]] was used to serve as a distraction, while Alpha-Nine recovered the data. | In [[2546]], Dare ordered ODST squad [[Alpha-Nine]], led by Buck, to retrieve important research data from a laboratory at Lethbridge's headquarters in the town of [[Belisk]] before the Covenant did.<ref>'''[[Halo: New Blood]]''', ''page 25''</ref> ONI intentionally kept the rest of the UNSC unaware of Alpha-Nine's mission.
