As the exploits of the Spartans were a major [[propaganda]] boon to the UNSC, Section II of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] issued [[ONI Directive 930|Directive 930]],{{Ref/Reuse|strike}} which stated that Spartans killed or wounded would be listed as "[[missing in action]]" (MIA) or "[[wounded in action]]" (WIA), thus maintaining the illusion of the Spartans' invincibility.

However, all preparations were interrupted and subsequently canceled by the Covenant's [[Fall of Reach|invasion of Reach]].

On September 1, 2558, Gray Team were awakened from cryo and found themselves in the middle of [[Carrow Conflict|a battle]] between two Sangheili factions, a Jiralhanae faction and the citizens of [[Suraka]] on the planet [[Carrow]]. The Spartans joined forces with local [[Surakan Militia Volunteers|militia]] and remnants of one of the Sangheili groups to protect civilians from the Jiralhanae invaders. Together they managed to destroy an underground Forerunner facility housing hundreds of thousands of [[Sharquoi]] under the control of Brute Chieftain [[Hekabe]], preventing their deployment to other inhabited worlds and eliminating Hekabe's faction in the process, a dangerous force made up of several Jiralhanae war packs. The conflict also eliminated both Sangheili factions with only [[Rojka 'Kasaan]] surviving. Rojka gave up his hatred and thirst for vengeance upon Gray Team and agreed to act as an envoy to the human population of the world for [[Akato 'Dakaj]], the new ruling [[Kaidon]] of [[Rak]]. After their return to the UNSC, Gray Team were offered a choice to join a specialized interspecies strike team under the Office of Naval Intelligence, to continue operating deep in the [[Joint Occupation Zone]] as before. In exchange, they would receive a pardon from [[Thel 'Vadam]] for their actions. The Spartans reluctantly agreed to work for ONI, asking for a prowler of their own.<ref>'''[[Halo: Envoy]]'''</ref> | On September 1, 2558, Gray Team were awakened from cryo and found themselves in the middle of [[Carrow Conflict|a battle]] between two Sangheili factions, a Jiralhanae faction and the citizens of [[Suraka]] on the planet [[Carrow]].

12 Spartan-II candidates were officially discharged from the program after failing the augmentation procedures, most becoming severely crippled. The majority of these former candidates were later reassigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence. However, Dr. Halsey hoped that some might be rehabilitated and enter service as fully functional Spartans.{{Ref/Reuse|journal}} | |||

This was presumably made possible by Halsey's insistence that no invasive autopsies be performed and that the funeral for those killed by the procedures be closed-casket, the cadavers instead remaining in cold storage.
