When Dorian questioned what exactly the XEG was, Daniella stated that it was the Xeno-Materials Exploitation Group, but refused to explain more for the moment. Daniella eventually revealed that the XEG wanted to recover the [[Forerunner]] artifact that the Covenant were attempting to excavate underneath [[Brume-sur-Mer]] and if possible, use it themselves in the war effort. After some hesitation, the four teens agreed to form a specialized team to help ONI recover the artifact from Meridian.<ref>'''[[Halo: Battle Born]]''', ''Chapter 25''</ref> | ||
