She was given command of the captured [[UNSC frigate]] [[Bellicose|UNSC Bellerophon/Bellicose]] which on three occasions engaged the {{UNSCship|Gorgon}}, captained by [[Preston Cole]]. Twice she was able to escape and on their [[Skirmish at Theta Ursae Majoris|third encounter]] they fought to a draw. As the two ships coasted in space having fired off all their ordnance, Cole and Castilla engaged in a text-only conversation; she knew his identity, but he did not know hers. | ||

She told him she got her PhD in nuclear engineering before moving to Roost to fish and pour drinks. The two hit it off immediately. Cole would return to Roost the next three times he was granted leave. Preston Cole and Lyra Castilla were married November [[2502]] during Cole's fourth trip to Roost. When he wrote home to tell his brother of his wedding, Cole reported that Lyra was pregnant. He also said that he was truly happy for the first time he could remember. | ||

On June 13, [[2503]] [[Admiral]] [[Harold Stanforth]] sent a message to Cole, informing him that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] had determined that Lyrenne Castilla was a member of the insurgency. Cole was given the opportunity to try to convince her to turn herself in, but when he got to the bar on Roost he found only a transcript of his conversation with the the captain of the ''Bellicose'', who he now realized was Castilla. Castilla likely gave birth to their child shortly after, while she was in hiding.<ref group="note">Cole's letter to his brother mentions she was pregnant in November 2502. When Cole wrote of her fleeing in June 2503 he made no mention of her taking their child with her, suggesting she had not yet given birth, though she would have been at least 7 months pregnant.</ref> | On June 13, [[2503]] [[Admiral]] [[Harold Stanforth]] sent a message to Cole, informing him that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] had determined that Lyrenne Castilla was a member of the insurgency.

[[Codename: SURGEON]] determined that Admiral Cole almost certainly faked his death at the Battle of Psi Serpentis and survived by executing the second ever in-atmosphere slipspace transition. Evidence suggests that Cole somehow contacted or was contacted by Lyra Castilla before the battle and orchestrated the insurgent participation in the battle. In all likelihood, after faking his death, he rejoined Lyra and settled somewhere outside of both UNSC and Covenant-controlled space. | [[Codename: SURGEON]] determined that Admiral Cole almost certainly faked his death at the Battle of Psi Serpentis and survived by executing the second ever in-atmosphere slipspace transition.
