In [[2553# | {{Main|Gao conflict}} | ||
In [[2553#May|May of 2553]], the Office of Naval Intelligence learned of [[Covert Support Base 4276|a Forerunner structure]] host to [[Intrepid Eye|an ancilla]] located within the [[Montero Cave System]] on the human [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]] in the [[Cordoba system]]. Lucy and the rest of Blue Team—Fred, Kelly, Linda, Tom, Ash, Olivia, and Mark—were attached to ONI's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]], a research battalion charged with recovering the AI.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''page 33'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Meanwhile, a string of murders had been occurring in the cave systems; the UNSC forces on Gao agreed to help the [[Gao Ministry of Protection|Ministry of Protection]] with the murders while they covertly located the AI, both parties unaware that the murders were caused by the ancilla. | |||
Fred, the rest of Blue Team, and [[Special Inspector]] [[Veta Lopis]] arrived at the village with the captured ancilla to aid the company. Meanwhile, while Kelly and Linda fired explosives at the Keepers from the Wendosa rooftops, Lucy and Tom—armed with heavy machine guns—were helping force the cult's forces back into retreat.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 190-192'' (Google Play edition)</ref> When the Jiralhanae attempted to charge at the village, all Spartans of Blue Team worked together to thin their numbers. During the attack, Fred was ordered to return the captured ancilla to Commander [[Murtag Nelson]] at the [[Montero Vitality Clinic]]. However, while leaving Wendosa in a [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]], the aircraft was shot down by Keeper fire.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 219-222'' (Google Play edition)</ref> The rest of Blue Team regrouped and, with Lopis, traveled to the Falcon's crash site to locate Fred and the AI. The team was assaulted by the Keepers, but they were eventually able to defeat the charging Jiralhanae with the help of the battalion's [[Alpha Company]]. Having recovered Fred and the ancilla, the team returned to the Montero Vitality Clinic.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 225-239'' (Google Play edition)</ref> However, recently elected [[President of the Gao Republic|President of Gao]] [[Arlo Casille]] declared war on the UNSC forces on the planet and [[Gao battle-jumpers]] and [[Wyvern]]s were ordered to engage the battalion's remaining forces. As the rest of the unit began retreating from the planet, the Spartans and Lopis traveled to the [[Wells of Echoes]] to detonate a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]] inside to destroy the Forerunner installation within the Montero Caves, denying the anti-UNSC president access to the installation.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 289-290'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Once they retrieved the ancilla and the nuke, Blue Team and Lopis regrouped in the [[Montero Jungle]]. Lucy and Tom both drove the two Warthogs, with the rest of the team aboard, to the Well of Echoes.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 306-307'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Upon arriving at the Well of Echoes, the team boarded a nearby ONI [[Owl]] with Rear Admiral [[Serin Osman]] aboard.

However, the four Spartans were spotted by members of the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], a radical [[Covenant remnants|Covenant sect]] that had traveled to Gao in search for the ancilla. The cult's [[Jiralhanae]] leader, [[Castor]], believed that the bagged victim aboard the Pelican was actually the ancilla and ordered his forces to attack Wendosa to retrieve the AI.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 134-136'' (Google Play edition)</ref><ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 141-142'' (Google Play edition)</ref> As the Keepers of the One Freedom attacked the village, Lucy and the other Spartans helped [[Charlie Company (Gao)|Charlie Company]] defend the rest of the research battalion. While the [[company]] took a defensive position in [[Wendosa Hotel]], Lucy and the Spartans formed a skirmish ring around the hotel, attempting to disrupt enemy formations and prevent a Jiralhanae charge.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', ''pages 183-185'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | ||
