Rion sends a message to [[Nor Fel]] via the comm satellite asking about Covenant destroyers. Fal is hesitant to get involved as the Covenant remnants and pirates are more than willing to take out anyone who could recover a wreckage before them. Rion demands for money; having paid Nor for the location of the ''Roman Blue'' and lost equipment in the attack as well as the wreckage, she finds it a worthless sale. Aware of the [[Kig-Yar]] race's obsession with collecting things, she knows the threat of refund would make Nor more approachable. Rion quickly relaxes her demand and instead asks for the Covenant Navy's logistical records on the ''Radiant Perception'', particularly relating to its current fate. Rion is more sure of success this time, as its active career so early into the war would show a decent record. | Rion sends a message to [[Nor Fel]] via the comm satellite asking about Covenant destroyers.

Kip | Kip, Lessa and Niko continue their search through comms logs and UNSC archives for references to the ''Radiant Perception''. Cade meanwhile messages old service pals looking for anyone who remembers the name in passing. Kip is annoyed at his lack of findings. As the ship was part of the first wave at the war's beginning, its movements would have been especially noteworthy. However, he has found significant gaps in the logistical accounts. Rion reminds him that glassed colonies don't have good records. Rion gets a transmission from Nor, which she has directed to her quarters. Nor finally has information on the ship. Based on her findings, it crashed on the planet [[Laconia]] in February 2531 shortly after the engagement with the ''Roman Blue'', which Rion concludes as them having had no time to transport the buoy to another ship. The Covenant refused to salvage the ship when they found the Mgalekgolo had murdered the survivors and multiplied exponentially. Now Nor's service to Rion is complete, she gives her the bad news: another salvage crew has disappeared. This time it is Ram Chavla's after transporting Forerunner technology over the glassed Mesa. Nor suspects various crews over the past year have been killed on the orders of [[Gek 'Lhar]], a Sangheili commander and salvager loyal to [[Jul 'Mdama]]. As a crashed Covenant ship, the ''Radiant Perception'' is the kind of artifact he would be looking to salvage. | ||
