Nyeto and his flight | A few days later, Lieutenant Commander Nyeto and his flight were assigned to [[Task Force Yama]]—a splinter group of [[Battle Group X-Ray]]—for the duration of [[Operation: SILENT STORM]], a daring UNSC operation that would see the SPARTAN-IIs and the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]] of the [[21st Space Assault Battalion]] boarding Covenant vessels to destroy them from the inside using [[nuclear weapon]]s. The hope was that this would slow down the Covenant's [[Massacre of the Outer Colonies|advance]] enough that the UNSC would have time to formulate an effective defensive strategy.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS5|HSS|Chapter=5}} Upon learning that [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]], mastermind of the SPARTAN-II program, would be assigned to the unit, Nyeto or one of his subordinates outfitted her temporary lab on the {{UNSCShip|Vanishing Point}} with hidden surveillance equipment and software, in an effort to learn crucial information about her supersoldiers.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS20|HSS|Chapter=20}} Ghost Flight and the rest of Task Force Yama soon left for the [[Kolaqoa system]] and [[Biko]], which was theorized to be the Covenant's next target. [[Seoba Ice Quarry|An ice quarry]] on [[Seoba]], one of Biko's three [[Natural satellite|moon]]s, was selected as the staging point for the UNSC's operation there.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS5}} | ||
During the [[Battle of Seoba]], Nyeto's flagship, the {{UNSCShip|Ghost Song}}, was responsible for dropping off a platoon from the [[21st Space Assault Battalion]]'s Alpha Company, along with [[John-117]], above the ice quarry. Prior to their deployment, the lieutenant commander confronted [[John-117]] regarding his real age. Although the Spartan denied it, his defensiveness only confirmed that Nyeto's information was accurate.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS7|HSS|Chapter=7}} Soon after, he ordered his ship to begin the insertion, and launched a missile strike on the Insurrectionist transmitter when the ''Ghost Song'' was fired upon was attacked by rebel anti-aircraft bunkers.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS8|HSS|Chapter=8}} The missiles damaged but ultimately missed a direct hit on the transmitter, which left it open to be repaired.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS11}} He ordered his flight to abort the drop, but after John exited the prowler and took out all the hostile emplacements, he was forced to continue with the deployment.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS8}} He and the other prowlers in Ghost Flight delivered the remnants of Alpha Company to the field, and launched a final salvo against the rebels before pulling out - this time against an Insurrectionist convoy that carried equipment necessary to repair the transmitter.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS8}} After the battle concluded, he participated in a hearing that investigated Alpha Company's unusually-high casualties, and revealed the correct age of the Spartans to the rest of Yama's ranking officers.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS11}} | Arriving in the Kolaqoa system, Task Force Yama approached Seoba and [[Colonel]] [[Marmon Crowther]] of the Black Daggers—the nickname for the 21st Space Assault Battalion—decided that this would be a great time to practice the mass deployment of the Spartans and his ODSTs. However, it was soon discovered that insurgent forces were occupying the quarry. Operation: ICE DANCE was no longer a drill.
