Following the mission on Sanghelios, Kilo-Five was tasked with neutralizing the [[terrorist]] threat posed by [[Venezia]]n insurgent [[Staffan Sentzke]] and seizing the battlecruiser ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]'' before Sentzke could use it against Earth. During the mission, Phillips learned that [[Avu Med 'Telcam]] had hired a [[Kig-Yar]] [[Shipmaster|Shipmistress]], [[Chol Von]], to steal back the ''Inquisitor''.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 81''</ref> Later, Phillips, Naomi, Devereaux, and Osman returned to [[New Llanelli]] to meet with 'Telcam. On the planet, Phillips gave 'Telcam a translation of the [[Forerunner]] inscriptions from the [[Temple of the Abiding Truth|temple]] at [[Ontom]], in exchange for intel.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 81''</ref> | |||
Following the mission on Sanghelios, Kilo-Five was tasked with neutralizing the [[terrorist]] threat posed by [[Venezia]]n insurgent [[Staffan Sentzke]] and seizing the battlecruiser ''[[Pious Inquisitor]]'' before Sentzke could use it against Earth. The mission was eventually a success and Kilo-Five was granted shore leave on [[Cascade]]. Phillips went to a concert with [[Lian Devereaux]], the two having grown fond of one another during their time with Kilo-Five.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 482''</ref> | |||
Later, Phillips began translating Sangheili and Kig-Yar conversations that he had gathered from his listening station aboard ''Port Stanley'' and from conversations that [[Kilo-Five]] had recorded on [[Venezia]]. With these recordings, Phillips learned of Chol Von's name and figured out basic information about her.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 216''</ref> He later discovered that 'Telcam was growing impatient with Von.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 297''</ref> When Kilo-Five finally came across the ''Inquisitor'', Phillips and [[Mike Spenser]] operated ''Port Stanley'''s communications, while Naomi and the ODSTs infiltrated the ship. Learning that Von and her crew had taken control of the ship, Phillips warned them of [[mev-ut]]s, Kig-Yar bounties.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 402''</ref> | |||

It was noted that though Phillips may appear to be naive at first, having an almost child-like academic curiosity especially in regards to the Sangheili.
