By [[2558]], Petrosky had retired from UNSC service. After retiring, his quality of life decreased as the benefits veterans received on his planet were poor. He claimed to always be one missed check away from living on the streets and he could only afford to eat canned proteins. [[Benjamin Giraud]], as part of his investigation into the history of the Master Chief, found Petrosky through the conspiracy theorist [[Mshak Moradi]]. Although Petrosky was not in the list of approved sources from [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]], Giraud contacted him through [[Chatter]]net and interviewed him. Petrosky's recollection of the events on the UNSC ''Atlas'' described John-117 as a "monster" who had undergone [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|genetic augmentations]] at the age of thirteen. Although Giraud questioned the underlying ethical concerns in the [[SPARTAN-II program]] implicated in that suspicion, Petrosky insisted what he saw was genuine, and it did not make a difference to him whether Giraud believed him or not.<ref name="HTT03"/> Giraud later contacted Petrosky again, who revealed that he heard rumors of ONI kidnapping children in order to conscript them into the SPARTAN-II program and then biologically augmenting them to turn the candidates into supersoldiers.

Several days later, at "[[FERO]]"'s persuasion, Giraud contacted Petrosky again and asked if he would like to help bring down ONI. Petrosky agreed and Giraud told him his plan, which involved revealing ONI's child conscription acts before the [[Unified Earth Government]] [[Unified Earth Government senate|senate]].<ref name="HTT08">'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 08: DRIP, DRIP, DRIP''</ref>

When the senate meeting starts, FERO patches Giraud through and he introduces himself. Giraud then states the purpose of his announcement and then play's Petrosky's statement. Giraud moves on to tell the senate of the kidnappings, cloning, training and biological augmentations that the SPARTAN-II program comprised of, just in time before the feed was cut.<ref> '''[[Hunt the Truth]]''', ''Episode 09: PHANTOMS'' </ref>

Fifteen years of military service led to Petrosky becoming cynical. His planet's lack of veterans' benefits led to Petrosky constantly living in poor conditions, claiming his house was worse than a shelter and that he was always on the verge of being homeless. His poor living conditions led to him believing that his life could not be any worse. Petrosky developed disdain for the [[UNSC]], believing that he did not owe them any loyalty or any responsibilities to remain quiet about the things he had witnessed.<ref name="HTT07"/>
