Taken to ''[[Argent Moon]]'', Intrepid Eye was locked in a chamber that was closed off from outside feeds so that she couldn't escape and with multiple fail safes that would allow her captors to shut her down. However, the security camera had a bleed-through feed that Intrepid Eye was able to use as a carrier wave conveying data feeds from all over ''Argent Moon'' that she was able to access.

However, the security camera had a bleed-through feed that Intrepid Eye was able to use as a carrier wave conveying data feeds from all over ''Argent Moon'' that she was able to access. In addition, though precautions were taken to keep electronics from entering Intrepid Eye's cell, small things were often missed, enabling Intrepid Eye to sneak out bits of her code and over time, create [[remote aspect]]s of herself. These aspects, in effect lesser AIs themselves, became established in five different sectors of human space with one being inside of ''Argent Moon's'' systems itself.{{Ref/Novel|Id=RC5|Ret|Chapter=5}} Over the next six months, through these remote aspects, Intrepid Eye created a vast network of resources through the galaxy that controlled [[propaganda]] outlets, private security contractors, law practices and even political consulting firms that operated on dozens of worlds. Additionally, through one of her aspects, Intrepid Eye communicated with [[Castor]], posing as an Oracle to direct him to build [[Salvation Base]] inside of the [[Suluhu Contemplarium]] and engage in piracy in the sector in hopes of drawing the UNSC to the site as part of her plan to prepare humanity for the [[Mantle of Responsibility]].{{Ref/Novel|Ret|16}} | ||
On [[2553#December|December 12, 2553]], Intrepid Eye used a Forerunner [[observation pane]] to show [[Lieutenant]] [[Bartalan Craddog]] images her remote aspect had captured of his sexual indiscretions to blackmail Craddog into giving her access to ''Argent Moon's'' communications array so that she could contact her remote aspects.{{Ref/Reuse|RC5}} By this time, she had initiated [[Project SLEEPING STAR]] to weaponize [[asteroidea merozoite]] which included having the husband and children of Admiral [[Graselyn Tuwa]], the only survivors of the disease, kidnapped and experimented upon to create a vaccine for the disease which Intrepid Eye intended to use to cull those she found unworthy of the Mantle. The murder of the admiral was framed by [[Dark Moon Enterprises]] on the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]], causing the UNSC to launch [[Operation: RETRIBUTION]]. However, the operation had effects that Intrepid Eye didn't anticipate, namely that [[Veta Lopis]]' [[Ferret]] team and [[Blue Team]] destroyed the Suluhu Contemplarium and caught the Dark Moon operatives in the process of dumping the Tuwas' bodies at Salvation Base to frame the Keepers. Both to complete her [[bioweapon]] project and to avoid being discovered, Intrepid Eye sent Craddog and [[Papa-10]] to retrieve the [[cryo-jar]]s holding the Tuwas' organs and execute the Dark Moon couriers, guided by one of her oldest and most useful remote aspects [[Oriel]]. However, the Ferrets and Blue Team were able to foil her plan, eliminating the members of Papa-10 not killed by the Keepers as well as Craddog and destroying the cryo-jars and Oriel.{{Ref/Novel|Ret}} | On [[2553#December|December 12, 2553]], Intrepid Eye used a Forerunner [[observation pane]] to show [[Lieutenant]] [[Bartalan Craddog]] images her remote aspect had captured of his sexual indiscretions to blackmail Craddog into giving her access to ''Argent Moon's'' communications array so that she could contact her remote aspects.{{Ref/Reuse|RC5}} By this time, she had initiated [[Project SLEEPING STAR]] to weaponize [[asteroidea merozoite]] which included having the husband and children of Admiral [[Graselyn Tuwa]], the only survivors of the disease, kidnapped and experimented upon to create a vaccine for the disease which Intrepid Eye intended to use to cull those she found unworthy of the Mantle.

Though her plan was foiled, Intrepid Eye was not exposed as the true culprit. Instead, Craddog was believed to be the one behind Project SLEEPING STAR. With the destruction of Oriel, Intrepid Eye was left unable to confirm whether or not Castor and his cell had actually been eliminated. Due to how important asteroidea was to her plans, Intrepid Eye changed the final disposition so that instead of being terminated, Project SLEEPING STAR was given an unlimited black budget and [[Ensign]]s [[Jess Wallace]] and [[Kris Gaston]] were promoted to [[Lieutenant Commander]]s and given permission to seek out new asteroidea antibodies donors. Intrepid Eye also authorized testing of the bioweapon's effectiveness against enemy species of the UNSC. Though ''Argent Moon's'' AI [[Rooker]] tried to intervene, Intrepid Eye used a control worm, deception routine, logic trap and memory leech to successfully deceive him.{{Ref/Novel|Ret| | Though her plan was foiled, Intrepid Eye was not exposed as the true culprit.
