During the [[Human-Covenant War]] a '''mission to an unidentified moon''' was executed by four [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]] [[Headhunters]], two of them [[Jonah]] and [[Roland (SPARTAN-III)|Roland]]. The mission had the objective to destroy several [[Covenant]] base camps before the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces would begin a full-scale assault. The mission was ultimately a failure, however, as both SPARTAN-III teams were killed in a trap laid by an unknown class of [[Special Operations Sangheili]], although they were able to destroy several base camps as well as kill a big contingent of enemies.<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''"[[Headhunters (short story)|Headhunters]]"''</ref> | During the [[Human-Covenant War]] a '''mission to an unidentified moon''' was executed by four [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-III]] [[Headhunters]], two of them [[Jonah]] and [[Roland (SPARTAN-III)|Roland]].

On the third day, the two initiated their attack. Roland went into active camouflage, giving him roughly four minutes to plant charges around the base's four reactor cores.

The Elites taunted Jonah that they had also killed Team Two, but Jonah noted to himself that these enemies hadn't bothered to kill him while cloaked even though they had the opportunity to do so.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 188''</ref> Since they were clearly intended to capture him, Jonah goaded the Elites into chasing him, luring them close to his energy disruptor. When their shields and weapons were down, Jonah pressed the detonator, killing himself and all the Elites.<ref>'''Halo Evolutions''', ''Headhunters page 192''</ref> | ||
