The two Spartans were deployed to Ven III's surface by a {{Class|Sahara|heavy prowler}}. As Ray and Thorne made their way on the planet's surface, they encountered a number of wandering Kig-Yar but no organized resistance. The two entered a narrow canyon where they lost communications with ''Infinity'' due to a nearby jamming field. As the Spartans proceeded further into the canyon, they were observed by the Sangheili, who had just destroyed the UNSC spy drone that was delivering the feed to ''Infinity''. ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s shipboard [[artificial intelligence]], [[Roland]], immediately alerted Lasky to this as well as the communications blackout, suggesting for ''Infinity'' to change course toward Ven III to provide backup for the ground team. Having been ordered to avoid direct engagement, Lasky instead had Roland summon [[Sarah Palmer|Commander Sarah Palmer]]. Meanwhile, Thorne and Ray observed a Covenant structure for some time before entering it. Once they were inside, the two SPARTAN-IVs were ambushed by the Sangheili and a contingent of Kig-Yar. As a skirmish ensured, the Spartans were able to defeat most of the Kig-Yar, catching them by surprise by rocketing out of the structure using their armor-integrated thrusters. However, the Sangheili attached a [[shock device]] onto Thorne's armor and activated it. The electronic shock knocked Thorne unconscious and the Sangheili captured him. Escaping on a [[Type-32 Ghost]] with Thorne, Spartan Ray quickly followed.{{Ref/Reuse|HE11}}

Meanwhile, aboard ''Infinity'', Captain Lasky proposed sending another two-man Spartan team to backup Thorne and Ray. However, Commander Palmer insisted on the deployment of an entire SPARTAN-IV fireteam. As Ray continued to chase after the Sangheili, they eventually moved out of the range of the communications jammer, allowing Ray to contact ''Infinity''. Ray followed the Sangheili and Thorne into a deep subterranean tunnel where she discovered an enormous cavern filled with former Covenant vessels and vehicles; a major hideout for Kig-Yar [[pirate]]s. Although the UNSC originally estimated there to only be around a hundred Kig-Yar on the planet, Ray realized that there was at least two hundred thousand of them. Noticing Kig-Yar smugglers, [[black market]] arms dealers, slavers, and pirates operating with in the cavern, she saw the Sangheili and a Kig-Yar carrying Thorne's unconscious body into a [[hangar bay]]. However, a Kig-Yar snuck up behind Ray and ambushed her. As her signal with ''Infinity'' terminated, Lasky ordered Roland to carry out the course change towards Ven III and to call for all teams on deck.{{Ref/Reuse|HE11}} Shortly afterward, Ray was able to kill her attacker and reestablished contact with ''Infinity''.{{Ref/Reuse|HE12}}
