{{Quote|What the hell did they do to us?|Jameson Locke, after observing the aftermath of the attack}}

On [[2556|February 7, 2556]], Locke led an [[Locke's team|ONI team]] dispatched to the distant [[human colonies|human colony]] [[Sedra]] to investigate [[terrorism|terrorist]] activity. During the investigation Locke's unit and the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]] were forced to cooperate after [[Sedra City]] was targeted by a [[Sangheili Zealot]] terrorist wielding a powerful [[bioweapon]]. While patrolling the outskirts of Sedra City, the team spotted a [[Yonhet]] smuggler named [[Axl]] supplying the Sangheili Zealot with a stasis refrigerant. While [[Gregory Ramos|Agent Ramos]] apprehended Axl, Locke, [[Michael Horrigan|Horrigan]], and [[Alistair Estrin|Estrin]] pursued the Sangheili. Locke chased the Sangheili into a city access tunnel while Horrigan and the rest of the unit headed directly to the city. After a brief skirmish inside the access tunnel, the Zealot escaped into a Sedran mall with Locke pursing him. As the Sangheili prepared to activate the bioweapon, Locke jumped on top of the Zealot, disabled the alien's [[energy shielding]], and wounded him with his [[M6H magnum]]. Locke attempted to force the Sangheili to surrender, but the Zealot jumped off a ledge and activated the bioweapon instead, killing himself in the process. Many humans throughout the city began showing signs of infection, including Locke's fellow operatives [[Jordan Gaines]] and [[Mason Hundley]]. The unit went to the [[Sedra Colonial Guard Hospital]], where Locke and the uninfected members of his unit went through a decontamination process. After searching the [[Bactrian-class freighter|freighter]] used to transport the bioweapon to Sedra, Locke and his unit witnessed [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Randall Aiken]] brutally interrogating Axl. However, speaking in the Covenant's trade pidgin, Locke persuaded Axl into revealing what he knew of the origins of the element used in the bioweapon.<ref name="nightfall1">'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref>
