In [[2554]], a number of newly [[SPARTAN-IV Augmentation Program|augmented]] [[Spartan-IVs]] were transferred to the station in order to begin their training. On March 29 of that year, the corpse of [[Hideo Wakahisa|a Spartan]] was discovered in the largest [[War Games]] chamber.<ref name="nb140">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 140-143'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Spartans [[Edward Buck]], [[Kojo Agu]], and [[Michael Crespo]] were consulted by Spartan Operations [[Chief of Staff]] [[Jun-A266]] and [[Admiral]] [[Musa Ghanem]] in their quarters due to Jun having found a [[keepsake|medallion]] belonging to Crespo on the body. The three insisted Mickey was not responsible for the murder and Jun and Musa decided to review security footage to see if someone had previously stolen the medallion from Mickey's locker.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 131-135'' (Google Play edition)</ref> Security footage soon proved that Spartan [[Rudolf Schein]] was responsible for the act, and Jun, Musa, and [[Captain]] [[O'Day]] confronted him in the station's rec room. At this time, Schein attempted to blow up the station, having previously lain explosives throughout it, but [[Spartan-IV Station Terror Attack|only succeeded]] in causing the room's viewport to shatter, unintentionally ejecting himself and Jun into vacuum. Before he could do anything else, Musa deactivated the station's artificial gravity to prohibit Schein's bombs from working correctly.

At Lucy's prompting, she and Tom entered an [[airlock]]. Attached to a tether and without a [[vacuum suit]], Tom attempted to anticipate Jun's path and launched himself into space. He missed at first, but Lucy managed to correct his path by tugging on the tether.

The three Spartans attempted to take the wounded captain to safety, but she was killed when she impacted against Buck at a high speed in the zero-gee environment. The Spartans took shelter in an empty room, while Jun was rescued by Tom. Schein died in the vacuum of space. Jun, Tom, and Lucy received medical attention in the infirmary.

In [[2558]], the station's [[AI]] [[Leonidas]] defected to the [[Created]], but kept the truth about the [[Created conflict]] secret from the station's inhabitants as he had no way of joining his fellow AIs. However, Leonidas removed the oxygen from [[Jun-A266]]'s room and left him unconscious so that Jun could not stop him, claiming that Jun was merely sleeping off exhaustion. With the station also acting as a secret prison for Spartans that had gone rogue, it was visited by the reformed [[Alpha-Nine]] in order to break out [[Michael Crespo|Mickey Crespo]] for a secret ONI mission. While on the station, the team decided to remove Leonidas in an effort to protect the station's inhabitants. Leonidas was able to declare Buck a rogue Spartan before Buck took him off-line with the help of [[Quick to Adjust|Vergil]] just in time to prevent Leonidas from venting the station's atmosphere and killing its inhabitants. Chased by the Spartans who mistakenly believed Buck to be a traitor, Buck and Mickey received unexpected help from [[Taylor Miles]] and [[Gretchen Ketola]] who were on the station for their own Spartan training. | In [[2558]], the station's [[AI]] [[Leonidas]] defected to the [[Created]], but kept the truth about the [[Created conflict]] secret from the station's inhabitants as he had no way of joining his fellow AIs.

As Alpha-Nine escaped, Jun regained consciousness and retook control of the station. Jun contacted Buck who warned Jun that Leonidas may have sent a message to [[Cortana]] who would send [[Guardian]]s after the station. Jun assured Buck that they were already making preparations to move and he would not forget Alpha-Nine's help in retaking the station.<ref name="Bad Blood">'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'''</ref> | As Alpha-Nine escaped, Jun regained consciousness and retook control of the station.
