It only took a few minutes to traverse the portal through slipspace.<ref name="HBB1">''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'', ''Chapter 1''</ref> When the Pelican emerged, the Spartans found themselves flying through a cavernous cave, which they excited to be faced with a deep [[Sanghelios]] night. Locke was determined to get back to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, and Linda was surprised when he mentioned that Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] might still be on the planet. John apologized for everything that had recently happened but Linda responded by putting a hand on his arm and saying he had only done what he thought was right. She additionally pointed out that he had been backed up by she, Kelly, and Fred every step of the way and that they would do it again if they had to. Locke soon mentioned that if they could get back to the ''Infinity'', Halsey might be able to work out a solution, which caught Linda and the other [[Spartan-II]]s by surprise. Both Locke and Buck explained that they had rescued the doctor from Jul 'Mdama and brought her back to the Infinity and that she had subsequently insisted on accompanying them to Sanghelios.<ref name="HBB1"/> | It only took a few minutes to traverse the portal through slipspace.<ref name="HBB1">''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'', ''Chapter 1''</ref> When the Pelican emerged, the Spartans found themselves flying through a cavernous cave, which they excited to be faced with a deep [[Sanghelios]] night.

The portal had deposited them relatively near the [[Sangheili]] city of [[Sunaion]] off the coast of [[Qivro]].<ref name="HBB1"/> [[Olympia Vale]] guessed that the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] were likely still camped in [[Nuusra]] where they had recently staged [[Battle of Sunaion|an attack]] on [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]] from just days prior. Linda was skeptical of their chances at finding anyone, but before long fires were spotted that indicated the location of a Sangheili encampment where they expected the Swords to be. Soon enough the leaders of each respective team were being met at the bottom of the Pelican's ramp by [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]], Commander [[Sarah Palmer]], and Doctor Halsey. After everyone had disembarked they were welcomed by the [[Arbiter]], [[Thel 'Vadam]], and John introduced him to Linda, Kelly, and Fred.

'Vadam invited them all to join in a celebratory meal commemorating their victory over the last of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant. Halsey revealed that she had gotten a message from [[Roland]] on the ''Infinity'' and that it would be appearing off of the far side of [[Suban]] the following day at 1800 hours. Now that they had transportation, they could be there waiting for it when it showed. Linda and the others then took off their helmets and joined the Sangheili in dining on [[colo]] and [[kuscatu]]. During the meal Linda, Kelly, Fred, John, and Halsey went off on their own for a time to talk.<ref name="HBB1"/> | ||
