On [[2556|February 7, 2556]], an [[Locke's team|ONI team]] led by Lt. Commander Locke was dispatched to the distant [[human colonies|human colony]] [[Sedra]] to investigate [[terrorism|terrorist]] activity. While patrolling the outskirts of Sedra City, the team spotted a [[Yonhet]] smuggler named [[Axl]] supplying a Sangheili Zealot with a stasis refrigerant. While [[Gregory Ramos|Agent Ramos]] apprehended Axl, Locke, [[Michael Horrigan|Horrigan]], and [[Alistair Estrin|Estrin]] pursued the Sangheili. Locke chased the Sangheili into a city access tunnel while Horrigan and the rest of the unit headed directly to the city. After a brief skirmish inside the access tunnel, the Zealot escaped into a Sedran mall with Locke pursing him. As the Sangheili prepared to activate the [[bioweapon]], Locke jumped on top of the Zealot, disabled the alien's [[energy shielding]], and wounded him with his [[M6H magnum]]. Locke attempted to force the Sangheili to surrender, but the Zealot jumped off a ledge and activated the bioweapon instead, killing himself in the process.<ref name="nightfall1">'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> | On [[2556|February 7, 2556]], an [[Locke's team|ONI team]] led by Lt.

Many humans throughout the city began showing signs of infection, including Locke's fellow operatives [[Jordan Gaines]] and [[Mason Hundley]]. The unit went to the [[Sedra Colonial Guard Hospital]], where Locke and the uninfected members of his unit went through a decontamination process. After searching the [[Bactrian-class freighter|freighter]] used to transport the bioweapon to Sedra, Locke and his unit witnessed [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Randall Aiken]] brutally interrogating Axl. However, speaking in the Covenant's trade pidgin, Locke was able to persuade Axl into revealing what he knew of the origins of the element used in the bioweapon.<ref name="nightfall1"/> | Many humans throughout the city began showing signs of infection, including Locke's fellow operatives [[Jordan Gaines]] and [[Mason Hundley]].
