===Second class of Spartan-IVs===
Due to the success of the first class of SPARTAN-IVs, Musa managed to secure funding for future classes.<ref>'''[[Halo: New Blood]]''', ''page 106'' (Google Play edition)</ref> After the second class of Spartans was recruited, he headed their training at a [[space station]] orbiting a dwarf planet. Shortly after the SPARTAN-IVs received their [[SPARTAN-IV Augmentation Program|augmentations]], Musa was informed that one of the trainees, [[Hideo Wakahisa]], did not return from his training exercise. Jun and several medics found Wakahisa dead in the tunnels of the training arena furthest from the entrance, and Musa confined all Spartans to their quarters while Wakahisa's death was investigated.<ref name="nb127">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 127-129'' (Google Play edition)</ref> After limiting the number of suspects responsible for the murder, Musa and Jun confronted Spartans [[Edward Buck]], [[Michael Crespo]], and [[Kojo Agu]] in their quarters. Jun revealed that he had found a medallion belonging to Crespo, but the latter and his friends insisted that he was not responsible for the murder. Crespo noted that he kept the medallion in his locker—which he never locked—and he believed someone stole it from him. Musa ordered Jun to search the station's security footage of the locker room to find any further leads. Musa later had Jun assign the three Spartan trainees to a temporary quarters until the situation could be solved.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 131-135'' (Google Play edition)</ref>

Further investigations soon proved that Spartan trainee [[Rudolf Schein]] was responsible for the murder. Musa, Jun, and Captain [[O'Day]] went to confront him, but Schein was waiting for them in the station's recreational room and threatened to blow up the entire station unless his demands were met. When Schein attempted to detonate the explosives he had placed around the station, Musa managed to turn off the station's [[artificial gravity]], which caused the explosives' switches to falter and prevented all the explosives in the station from detonating. Jun charged at Schein and knocked the trigger out of his hand, but it still managed to detonate the explosives in the room, killing O'Day. Jun and Schein were pulled out into the vacuum of space due to a breach in the rec room's viewports, but Jun was able to propel himself back into the station while the rogue Spartan died. While Jun received treatment for his injuries, Musa restored the station's gravity. He later contacted Buck, Crespo, and Agu and informed them of the events that had just transpired.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 140-143'' (Google Play edition)</ref>

While Jun, Tom and Lucy received treatment for their vacuum exposure, Musa restored the station's gravity. He later contacted Buck, Crespo, and Agu and informed them of the events that had just transpired.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 140-143'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Musa also debriefed Tom and Lucy about the incident and once they had fully recovered, several days later, he offered the two Beta Spartans a new post as part of the security staff of the [[Onyx United Research Project]], having received a request for Spartan personnel. While initially reluctant due to the [[Sangheili]] present at the project, the pair eventually accepted.<ref name="lessons"/>


After Crespo defected to the [[United Rebel Front]] and was captured, Musa contacted Buck and congratulated him on how he handled the [[Mission to Talitsa|mission]]. Musa and Jun later reviewed the SPARTAN-IV candidate vetting procedures to prevent further defections from within the branch.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''page 177'' (Google Play edition)</ref>
