In [[2526]] Gold Team participated in [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], together with Spartan [[Blue Team|Blue]] and [[Green Team|Green]] Teams. Their mission was to infiltrate [[Covenant]] ships and commandeer them to gain information about the aliens' technology. The initial assault resulted in the destruction of the Covenant vessel the Spartans had boarded, after Lieutenant-Commander [[Hector Nyeto]] allowed an communication broadcast to be detected by the Covenant in an effort to get the Spartans killed. | In [[2526]] Gold Team participated in [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], together with Spartan [[Blue Team|Blue]] and [[Green Team|Green]] Teams.

A second attempt was made at the [[Human colonies|Human colony]] world of [[Biko]], which was a UNSC stronghold, and known priority for the Covenant. The second attempt was thwarted by an [[Insurrectionist]] plot, and Gold Team, together with the other Spartan teams helped defeat the Insurrectionists on Biko's third moon, [[Seoba]]. The commander of the operation, [[Marmon Crowther|Colonel Crowther]], learned of the Spartan's age and refused to use them further in combat operations. Instead, the Spartans were tasked with guarding the prisoners - and shortly after the battle, the Covenant showed up at Biko, attempting to negotiate with the Insurrectionists. Instead, the UNSC provoked and attacked them, destroying several Covenant vessels. Despite this, the Covenant managed to destroy the Prowler of Captain [[Halima Ascot]] , which then crashed into the moon of the planet. The Spartans, being the only mission capable forces present - proceeded to the Prowler's crash site to scramble it's data, and look for survivors, before eventually engaging the Covenant forces looking for the vehicle; finding it lodged inside an ice wall. Under pressure from the Covenant attack, [[John-117]] ordered the Spartans to use their grenade launchers, causing an avalanche which buried several Spartans under the ice, but also wiped out the already present Covenant boarding party. After recovering their buried team-mates, and rescuing a squad of ODST's led by Staff Sergeant [[Avery Johnson]], a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] was used to destroy the Prowler - preventing the Covenant from gaining any intelligence from the spacecraft. | A second attempt was made at the [[Human colonies|Human colony]] world of [[Biko]], which was a UNSC stronghold, and known priority for the Covenant.
