By early 2553, he was operating a temporary listening station on [[Reynes]], a [[glassing|glassed]] mining colony. | By early 2553, he was operating a temporary listening station on [[Reynes]], a [[glassing|glassed]] mining colony. For [[2551|two years]], he lived in the station, which was based inside one of the mines on the barren planet. He was entirely alone there, with the exception of an [[Unggoy]] that cleaned his base, and several [[Kig-Yar]] that he traded with. | ||
In [[2553#January|January 2553]], he was relieved of his duties on the planet, and was to be picked up by the [[Kilo-Five]]'s [[UNSC prowler|corvette]] {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}. [[Malcolm Geffen]] and [[Vasily Beloi]] extracted Spenser from the planet but not before they were involved in a brief firefight with several Kig-Yar, who were attempting to claim the team's dropship for themselves. Soon after, he was transferred to the [[UNSC destroyer]] ''[[UNSC Monte Cassino|Monte Cassino]]'' over [[Venezia]]'s orbit and taken back to [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] for debriefing. Shortly afterward, he was assigned to monitor resurgent rebel and [[black market]] activity brewing on [[Venezia]], with a cover identity as an electrician named Mike Amberley.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''pages 442-443''</ref> | In [[2553#January|January 2553]], he was relieved of his duties on the planet, and was to be picked up by the [[Kilo-Five]]'s [[UNSC prowler|corvette]] {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}.

While onboard ''Port Stanley'', Spenser and Phillips conversed together in Sangheili, comparing different dialects. Spenser then notified Mal of an incoming signal to Staffan's radio. Sometimes Sinks alerted them that a Kig-Yar [[piracy|pirate]] crew were attempting to commandeer the ''Pious Inquisitor''. Kilo-Five planned to board the ship and eliminate the Kig-Yar pirates. When Spenser asked if there was role in their mission he could take part in, Osman told him to sit out of the ship's boarding and manage the comms with Phillips.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 403''</ref> | While onboard ''Port Stanley'', Spenser and Phillips conversed together in Sangheili, comparing different dialects.

Kilo-Five eventually succeeded in preventing the battlecruiser from being used against Earth. With their mission concluded, Kilo-Five was granted shore leave. Before ''Port Stanley'' headed out to the planet [[Cascade]], Spenser monitored Sangheili communications chatter with Phillips. He was later dropped off at the [[refit station]], ''[[Anchor 10]]''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 476''</ref> | Kilo-Five eventually succeeded in preventing the battlecruiser from being used against Earth.
