That same day, Fred-104, the other Spartans, Staff Sergeant Johnson, and Dr. Halsey left the [[Kolaqoa system]] aboard the ''Vanishing Point'', with two of the task force's prowlers serving as escort. On [[2526#March|March 22]], the three ships arrived at Etalan and they spent the next four days observing the logistics fleet's movements trying to discern which vessels they should be their primary targets. By [[2526#March|March 26]], the ''Vanishing Point''{{'}}s analysts felt confident that four of the fleet's fifteen vessels were equipment [[freighter]]s that carried spare parts and other materials used to maintain the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience. At this point, the logistics fleet was seemingly preparing to break from orbit over the planet, evidenced by the fact that they had begun syncing their orbits and bringing their [[fusion reactor]]s to full power. Since time was running out, Gold and Green Teams were deployed in [[S-14 Baselard]]s to destroy the freighters as Blue Team and Johnson discussed what vessels they should target during the second phase of the attack. The plan called for each of them to fly one of the Banshees they had captured a few weeks earlier straight into the hangars of the target vessels, crash the fighters with a HAVOK nuke in the cockpit, and then go [[Extra-vehicular activity|EV]] and await prowler pickup. For the purpose of this mission, Fred, the rest of Blue Team, and Johnson were equipped with an [[M99 Stanchion]] and an [[M41 SPNKR]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS19|HSS|Chapter=19}}

As they watched the eight other Spartans begin the battle, Johnson suggested that they destroy what the analysts believed to be [[Mjern~~-pattern~~ agricultural support ~~shipagricultural~~ ship]]s, but Fred pointed out that they weren't even sure of that and they could be petting zoos for all they knew. Still, Johnson argued that could destroy all of the "petting zoos," and they'd be stuck without whatever they needed them for. However, Dr. Halsey walked over and informed the group that she had identified the fleet's munition supply vessels as the three large "[[Bladder ship|air-skimmer]]s" that were dipping in and out of Etalan's upper atmosphere. When she revealed that she had realized this when they first arrived four days ago, Johnson questioned why she had waited so long to tell them this. Halsey explained that she had kept it to herself so as to not alert Nyeto and his subordinates—whom she had deduced were Insurrectionist spies—to their plan. When Halsey mentioned that the spies had managed to plant surveillance devices in her lab, Fred became concerned that they might have tampered with their armor. Despite Halsey eventually admitting that they could have possibly accessed the maintenance module where the armor had been stored, Blue Team and Johnson prepared to follow through on their part of the mission, now targeting the three "air-skimmers" instead.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS19}}
