He then retreated into the safety of a sealed panic room,<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 301''</ref> remaining there until he was discovered by [[Sergeant]] [[Zhao Heng Lopez]]'s squad. Smith, claiming to be the ''Mona Lisa'''s medical officer, began to insist that they should leave the ship immediately, but Lopez would ignore his pleas, as they were on a mission to clear the ship's navigation database in accordance with the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 265-271''</ref>

Upon coming across a Flood growth, Lopez inquired Smith as to its nature. Smith claimed that the Flood was a Covenant virus that had unexpectedly jumped into human prisoners.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 284''</ref> Soon after, they were attacked by a group of [[Flood infection form]]s, leading to [[Rakesh|one]] of the Marines being killed. Lopez, realizing that Smith had been lying, hit him and ordered [[Mahmoud]] to search him thoroughly. As he did, they discovered his ONI ID badge, revealing his true identity. However, though Smith outranked the Marines and ordered them take him off the ship, Lopez would still refuse to leave her Marines behind.

As Smith approached the [[UNSC prowler|prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Red Horse}} on the Pelican, he attracted the attention of the [[Covenant assault carrier]] present in the system.
