After the two-man ODST team and Tanaka landed on Cleyell's surface, they found a transmitter wedged down in a crack. When one of the ODSTs asked why someone would stash a transmitter there, the other ODST found a dead civilian with [[plasma]] burns in his body.<ref name="HE18">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 18|Issue #18]]</ref> | After the two-man ODST team and Tanaka landed on Cleyell's surface, they found a transmitter wedged down in a crack.

Tanaka and the ODSTs discovered a partially intact agricultural station in the glasslands. Tanaka deduced that the distress signal must have originated from below the buildings; as there would likely be Kig-Yar snipers posted in the structure itself, no survivor could have escaped along the plains. They made their way into a cave system Tanaka had spotted earlier, with her taking the lead due to her experience. She warned the two ODSTs to remain quiet or the Kig-Yar would execute any prisoners if they heard them coming. As one of the ODSTs stepped forward, the ground gave way and he crashed through into a Kig-Yar-occupied cavern. Tanaka and the other ODST fell down the hole as well and a firefight ensued, with Tanaka and the ODSTs eventually emerging victorious. | Tanaka and the ODSTs discovered a partially intact agricultural station in the glasslands.

In the caves Tanaka found a group of malnourished survivors, who were then rescued aboard a Pelican. After the mission, Captain French was impressed by Tanaka's selflessness and courage, and recommended Tanaka to [[Jun-A266]] as a suitable candidate for the [[SPARTAN-IV program]]. | In the caves Tanaka found a group of malnourished survivors, who were then rescued aboard a Pelican.
