In [[2560]], [[Adam Andrews]], who had been saved from the Covenant by [[John Forge]] and Marines from the ''Spirit of Fire'' during the [[Battle for Arcadia]], met with [[Kig-Yar]] salvagers working for [[Nor Fel]] at the Forerunner ruins and traded the [[Type-29 Scarab]]'s [[focus cannon]] for [[rumbledrug]]s.
