Aboard the {{UNSCShip|The Heart of Midlothian}}, Baird received treatment for a form of [[cancer]], a now archaic and easily treatable disease. The procedure was supposed to last only an hour or so, and Baird, who didn't want to miss a jump with his squad, was appeased by [[Mo Ye]], the ship's [[Artificial Intelligence|"smart" AI construct]], who said he should be up and ready to jump before they would leave. Baird was actually knocked out for twenty-three hours, and during that time, the ''Heart of Midlothian, ''was boarded by a [[Covenant Special Operations|Special Operations]] [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Boarding Party|boarding party]].<ref name="evolutions"/>

=== The Boarding Party ===
===The boarding party===
As Mo Ye told Baird about the events that occurred while he was unconscious, he asked why she couldn't just self-destruct, as per [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|the Cole Protocol]]. She told Baird that this boarding party was unlike any other, as they systematically destroyed Mo Ye's systems to prevent her from self-destructing. She also revealed that they had brought aboard a never before encountered Covenant [[Huragok|species]]. In order for Mo Ye to start the self-destruct sequence, Baird had to travel to the control room and manually boot her systems. She was able to tell him this because she had left a small piece of her coding behind to watch over Baird's procedure.
