Sent by ONI Captain [[Veronica Dare]], [[SPARTAN-IVs]] Buck, [[Kojo Agu|Kojo "Romeo" Agu]], and [[Michael Crespo|Michael "Mickey" Crespo]] approach a URF military base and spot Quick to Adjust nearby. Suddenly, Buck feels a rifle pressed against the back of his helmet. As his squadmates warn him not to move, dozens of insurgents surround them. | ||
Buck recalls a previous hostage situation on his homeworld [[Draco III]] in [[2554]]. He reminisces about his childhood on the planet, fishing in the [[Gold Sea]], and joining the [[UNSC Marine Corps]] after the Covenant [[First Battle of Harvest|attacked]] [[Harvest]]. After the Covenant [[Battle of Draco III|invaded]] Draco III and massacred its residents, Buck joined the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]. After the Covenant War, Draco III was resettled and its capital city of [[New Albany]] was largely restored. However, the United Rebel Front attempted to take control of the planet and established a headquarters in New Albany's [[Draco III capitol building|capitol building]]. Following the orders of Dare, Buck and his ODST fireteam [[Alpha-Nine]] attempt to assassinate Captain [[Ingridson]], the URF leader on the planet. The squad storms the capitol building, but they are ambushed by URF soldiers and the [[Rookie]] is held hostage at gunpoint by Ingridson. As a stand-off ensues between them, Spartan [[Sarah Palmer]] contacts Buck and asks if he requires her assistance. Buck remembers his last encounter with Palmer, when she was a lance corporal and a fellow ODST. During the [[Battle of Sargasso]] in [[2546]], Alpha-Nine and Palmer's squad, [[Gamma-Six]], were both assigned to protect [[Lethbridge Industrial]] facilities at the town of [[Belisk]]. While ONI had Gamma-Six unknowingly serve as a distraction, Alpha-Nine—then composed of Buck, [[Gomez (ODST)|Gomez]], [[Svensdottir]], and [[Samrat]]—was tasked with retrieving a valuable ONI chip containing data and research located in Lethbridge's headquarters in the town. Captain Dare coordinates the mission, and Buck vocally voices his disapproval of the operation. | Buck recalls a previous hostage situation on his homeworld [[Draco III]] in [[2554]].
