During the investigation of the [[John-117|Master Chief]], [[Benjamin Giraud]] was contacted by conspiracy theorist [[Mshak Moradi]], who revealed that "FERO" was about to get into contact with him.<ref>'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Season 1, Episode 06: BOXING STORY''</ref> "FERO" would later contact Benjamin Giraud, using voice distortion software to cloud her true identity. "FERO" began to tell Ben to establish the truth surrounding the Master Chief, and release it to the public, thus creating havoc and attention in the colonies. Yet to really hinder and usurp the Office of Naval Intelligence, a more delicate plan would need to be set up, to which "FERO" told Ben to set up a burn meeting in which the [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Unified Earth Government senate|senators]] and high-ranking ONI officials would attend.<ref name="HtT7"/> After John-117 apparently [[Raid on Biko peace talks|attacked]] a peace conference between the UEG and an alien species on [[Biko]], FERO leaked the news onto human public networks and news sites. This caused many people to denounce the Master Chief, with much of the public feeling betrayed by John's apparent disloyalty. FERO evidently intended to also reveal the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] was responsible for abducting children for the [[SPARTAN-II program]] and for ultimately psychologically transforming the Master Chief into a traitor.<ref name="HtT8">'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Season 1, Episode 08: DRIP, DRIP, DRIP''</ref> | |||
When a meeting was scheduled between the UEG senate and ONI to discuss the Biko event, FERO intended to help Giraud reveal ONI's Spartan-II conscription methods before the UEG senators. She apparently hoped that the senators would realize that they had been kept unaware of ONI's controversial acts, and thus heavily reprimand the intelligence agency.<ref name="HtT8"/> When the meeting occurred, FERO patched Giraud into the congressional chamber's main display. Giraud informed the senators of ONI's atrocities and blamed the directors of ONI responsible for the acts just before his feed was cut off. Before ending their call, FERO told Giraud that he had ignited a revolution and that he was now under her protection.<ref name="HtT9"/> The senators ultimately did not believe Giraud's claims. | When a meeting was scheduled between the UEG senate and ONI to discuss the Biko event, FERO intended to help Giraud reveal ONI's Spartan-II conscription methods before the UEG senators.

After Benjamin Giraud's capture and imprisonment at ONI's [[Midnight Facility]], Sankar continued her undercover work as FERO, having gained the trust of many [[insurrectionist]]s. During one of her speeches to a group of over 100 people, a squad of [[ODST]]s extracted Sankar, killing 26 and injuring 41 of the insurrectionists in the process, which angered her considerably. Noah Reibach contacted her inside the ship and told her that she was being brought to Midnight Facility to be briefed.<ref name="s2e0"/> | After Benjamin Giraud's capture and imprisonment at ONI's [[Midnight Facility]], Sankar continued her undercover work as FERO, having gained the trust of many [[insurrectionist]]s.

Upon reaching Midnight Facility, Sankar decided to meet with Giraud in his Cube before being briefed. Upon reaching Cube-349, Sankar told the [[AI]] accompanying her to make the glass transparent. Upon meeting him, Giraud was relieved she was still alive, not knowing that she worked for ONI. Giraud told her about the apology letter he had been writing and that he would personally thank her for saving his life. Sankar was about to tell Giraud the truth of the two ONI agents sent to kill him but was cut of by Michael Sullivan on [[COM]]. When Sullivan referred to Sankar as Commander Sankar, Giraud realized she worked for ONI, which caused him to go into a fit of rage. This prompted Sullivan to administer a gaseous sedative on Giraud. Sankar headed straight for Sullivan's office and expressed her anger towards ONI's treatment of Giraud. Sullivan explained ONI were going to use Giraud as a PR asset and record a message for the public. Sullivan warned her to stay away from Giraud, and Sankar warned him to stay away from her. Sankar left to be briefed by Reibach who informed her of attacks that had happened on five [[human colonies]]. One of the colonies, called [[Conrad's Point]], had a large [[New Colonial Alliance]] presence, and to prevent whatever destroyed the colonies from falling into the NCA's hands, Sankar was tasked with gathering intel on the situation by infiltrating the NCA, with help from the AI [[Black-Box]].<ref name="s2e1">'''Hunt the Truth''' ''Season 2, Episode 01: CUBE B-349''</ref> | Upon reaching Midnight Facility, Sankar decided to meet with Giraud in his Cube before being briefed.
