The ''Midsummer Night'' arrived shortly after while stalking the ''[[Kestrel (freighter)|Kestrel]]'' but was taken out with a [[mass driver]] round and missile fire from the [[Rubble Defense Force]].

Lieutenant [[Jacob Keyes]] surrendered the ship to save the crew, resulting in them being imprisoned on the Rubble as well.

Unbeknownst to the others, [[Reth]] and the Kig-Yar were intending to use the Rubble for breeding grounds.<ref name="cp236"/> To take over the Rubble, Reth had created [[The Redoubt|a sanctuary]] on [[Metisette]], a [[moon]] of Hesiod, for the [[Unggoy]]. He intended to have the Unggoy mass breed so he could have a personal army.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 197''</ref>

The Shiva missiles caused an EMP effect which shut down the lights and the anti-gravity generators inside the habitat where Thel 'Vadamee and the rest of his crew were imprisoned.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 188''</ref> This allowed the Sangheili to proceed with an escape plan. Using an improvised spear made out of a broken leg of a cot and tied to several coils of sheets, they managed to spear the Unggoy guard and steal his [[plasma rifle]]. Saal used the rifle to destroy the lock and open the door, which allowed the Sangheili to escape. They managed to board a [[Kig-Yar shuttle]] and eventually take over a [[Kig-Yar troop carrier]], which contained a large crew of Unggoy. The Sangheili then used the ship and information gathered from the Unggoy to launch a raid on Metisette and capture Reth.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 196''</ref> After a lengthy interrogation and torture session, Reth revealed to the Sangheili that he is following orders sent from the Prophet of Truth. This confuses the Sangheili, especially [[Zhar (Sangheili)|Zhar]], since they are following conflicting orders from the Prophet of Regret. Reth managed to escape while unattended and arrived back at Metisette. He decided to begin the invasion of the Rubble to show that he was loyal to the Covenant.<ref name="cp236"/>

Meanwhile, Delgado was imprisoned by one of the Rubble Security Council members, Peter Bonifacio, on the charges of failing to protect the navigation data.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 120''</ref> Fortunately, the Security Council pardoned him in exchange for giving back the data to them to move it to [[Habitat Exodus]], an emergency evacuation habitat for the Rubble. Peter Bonifacio and [[Diego Esquival]], another Council member and long time friend of Delgado, accompanied Delgado to his ship, the ''Distancia''. However, when Delgado handed the chip to Esquival, Bonifacio quickly held the two at gunpoint and demanded that Diego handed the data to him. Diego refused and was shot. Bonifacio took the data and retreated while Delgado returned fire from his own pistol. He grabbed Diego and re-entered the airlock.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 234''</ref> However, Bonifacio shut down the airlock and disabled the communications. He quickly undocked and flew away, leaving Delgado and Diego to die. Delgado, knowing he had no other option, activated the emergency beacon Adriana gave him.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 238''</ref>
