In [[2532]], the ONI rerouted several chemical precursors used in the [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures]] to the Section III lab on Ariel, along with similar facilities on other colonies, likely to serve as the basis for the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-III]] [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM|augmentations]].<ref name="journal"/> | |||
In [[2552#January|January 2552]], the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Battle of Ariel|invaded the colony]], and one of the [[civilian]]s managed to send out a distress signal, to which [[UNSC High Command]] responded with sending a force of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s from the [[105th ODST Division]] to investigate. The UNSC forces came to notice that the Covenant were not operating in their usual fashion: [[glassing]] of the planet was not their intent, but they were searching for something under the surface instead.<ref name="is1"/> | |||
The object the Covenant sought was discovered to be the Forerunner AI. Shortly after being found by the ODST squad, it self-destructed. As a result, the Covenant fleet broke off their attack, not even wasting the energy required to glass the planet.<ref name="is5"/> | The object the Covenant sought was discovered to be the Forerunner AI.
