The operation saw death of a [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|Covenant Minor Prophet]], as well as the discovery of a series of [[Heian#Ruins|prehistoric ruins]] that were of particular scientific interest.{{Ref/Film|Id=baby|HLeg|Story=The Babysitter}} | ||

Cal died shortly after the Prophet's death, giving Cortez the recordings of the ruins on a [[data crystal chip]]. These sparked interest within the scientific community after the [[Human-Covenant War]], and the [[Department of Xenoarchaeological Studies]] at the [[University of Edinburgh]] was commissioned by ONI to research the ruins.{{Ref/Anthology|Evo|From the Office of Dr. William Arthur Iqbal}} | Cal died shortly after the Prophet's death,{{Ref/Reuse|S4Intel}} giving Cortez the recordings of the ruins on a [[data crystal chip]].

However, with the Covenant's presence on the planet still strong and the [[Battle of Miridem]] raging on, she figured that the UNSC would be unable to spare any resources to follow-up investigations in the near future.{{Ref/Reuse|S4Intel}} Despite this, [[Project BOOKWORM]] would later establish a research presence on Heian in the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-war years]].{{Ref/Reuse|CFShocks}} | ||
Cal's actions during the mission and her saving O'Brien's life many times until the loss of her own changed the team's thoughts and opinions on the Spartans. Upon their return to ''Kronstadt'', the surviving ODSTs reacted aggressively to an [[Berger|Army specialist]] who suggested the Spartans were inferior to them based on Cal's death.{{Ref/Reuse|baby}} | Cal's actions during the mission and her saving O'Brien's life many times until the loss of her own changed the team's thoughts and opinions on the Spartans.

Many years later, GREY VEIL's success had become well-known throughout the UNSC; during the [[Second Ark Conflict]] in mid-late [[2559]], after-action reports of O'Brien's sniper shot were studied by [[Lance Corporal]] [[Sparks]] of [[Sunray 1-1]] and their tactics put to use some time following [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]] to assassinate a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Captain (Covenant)|Captain]] of the [[Banished]].
