After the threat in space was destroyed, the Office of Naval Intelligence kidnapped a civilian scientist, Professor [[Ellen Anders]], the grudging protegé of Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]]. ONI wanted her to decipher a Covenant message written in [[Forerunner symbols|Forerunner glyphs]]. Anders was then sent to the ''Spirit of Fire'' via the prowler {{UNSCShip|Last Gleaming}}. Upon her investigation, she concluded that the message meant that "treasure" was to be found, but was hidden. Shortly thereafter, Anders scanned the northern polar region of Harvest, concluding that there was a structure under the ice.<ref name="Gen"/> | After the threat in space was destroyed, the Office of Naval Intelligence kidnapped a civilian scientist, Professor [[Ellen Anders]], the grudging protegé of Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]].

During the coming ground battle, [[Alpha Base (Harvest)|Alpha Base]] served as a staging point for Forge's reconnaissance patrol near the Forerunner structure in the northern polar region. In the combat's early stages, Anders redirected a squadron of [[AV-14 Hornet]]s on their way to [[Rally Point Baker]] near Alpha Base to investigate activity readings on [[Quadrant 4]], where they discovered a significant concentration of Covenant forces. Sergeant Forge was sent to investigate further, but the Covenant had already moved on. During this time, Alpha Base was destroyed and was occupied by the Covenant while the UNSC forces in the area were scattered.<ref name="IS"/> | During the coming ground battle, [[Alpha Base (Harvest)|Alpha Base]] served as a staging point for Forge's reconnaissance patrol near the Forerunner structure in the northern polar region.
