Following the disappearence of MCPO [[John-117]] and subsequent abrupt attacks on several colony worlds, Lieutenant Commander [[Jameson Locke]] was tasked with tracking the rogue Spartan down and returning him to the United Nations Space Command. To that end, Locke met with  Arbiter [[Thel 'Vadam]] of the Swords of Sanghelios and studied various accounts and recordings of the Master Chief's past endeavors in order to better understand the Spartan's history. [[Fireteam Osiris|A team of SPARTAN-IV supersoldiers]] under Locke's command subsequently took part in a joint operation with the Swords of Sanghelios against an unidentified Covenant remnant group.
