Not all asylum seekers migrate to a host country for legitimate means; at the time of the [[Didact]]'s attack on Earth, [[Spartan (branch)|Spartan]] elements were tasked with stopping a [[Sangheili]] [[terrorism|terrorist]] from detonating a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]].<ref>'''[[Spartan Ops]]''' [[S1/Departure|S1E1 ''Departure'']]</ref> | ||
