Tracing the tug's positioning reveals that the vessel obtained the element from a fragment of [[Installation 04]] that was thrown through [[slipspace]] during the ring's destruction and ended up orbiting perilously close to a red giant. However, there is no record of the mystery element being previously present on the ring, but Sedran Private [[Talitha Macer]] points out that it may have been newly formed in the [[supernova]]-level temperatures of the ring's explosion. A scan reveals that the element is found nowhere else in the observable universe. After detecting another tug approaching the ring, ONI opts to land there, capture the smugglers to gain proof of the [[Covenant remnants|Covenant]] breaking their peace treaty with the UNSC, and destroy the deposits of the element with a [[HAVOK]] nuclear warhead. The mission is particularly challenging because of the Halo fragment's close orbit to the red giant and its rapid spin around itself; when it faces the star the shard's habitable side undergoes extreme heat that is unbearable for any human. The fragment's environment only experiences survivable temperatures during the sixteen hours of "night" when the habitable side is facing away from the star, forcing the team to complete their mission within this timeframe.

Locke contacts [[~~Roml~~ Goodwin|~~Admiral Roml~~ Goodwin]] who approves the mission. After Colonel Aiken's daughter dies of the infection he and a Sedran Colonial Guard team join Locke's ONI unit and head for the Halo shard on a [[Condor]] dropship.
