Eventually, ''Coral Sea'' arrived at [[Installation 05]] in the [[Coelest system]]. To avoid being detected by the Covenant, the corvette hid close to Delta Halo's surface and spent a majority of its time scanning the installation.

At some point, ''Coral Sea'' encountered a Covenant infantry detachment attempting to tap into [[Uplift|one of Delta Halo's critical power conduits]].
