In [[2553#May|May 2553]], the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] protected by [[Blue Team]] arrived at the planet to recover a [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]] in the [[Montero Cave System]]. The UNSC subsequently declared the cave system off-limits to outsiders, but civilians continued to sneak into the caves anyway in search of rumored miracle cures; soon after, an increasing number of these civilians were found brutally murdered. With tensions heightening between Gao's government and the UNSC, [[Special Inspector]] [[Veta Lopis]] of the Gao [[Ministry of Protection]] was assigned with investigating the serial killer on [[2553#July|July 2, 2553]]. Meanwhile, the [[Insurrectionist]]-minded Gao politician [[Arlo Casille]] allied with the [[Covenant remnant|ex-Covenant faction]] known as the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] to prevent the UNSC from gaining control of the Forerunner technology in the caves. Seeking to drive out the UNSC forces without forcing Gao itself into a war, Casille smuggled the Keepers on the planet,<ref name="c5"/> where they attacked the UNSC research battalion, resulting in several days of fighting in the Montero region. In the end, the UNSC forces evacuated from the planet with the Forerunner AI, [[Intrepid Eye]], while destroying the Montero Cave System with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]].<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', Chapter 28</ref> | In [[2553#May|May 2553]], the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] protected by [[Blue Team]] arrived at the planet to recover a [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]] in the [[Montero Cave System]].
