On [[2553#Januray|January 27, 2553]], the {{UNSCShip|Ariadne}}, a [[UNSC Navy|Navy]] [[patrol ship]], was forced to drop out of [[slipspace]] near Venezia secondary to a complication with its [[fusion drive]]. The ''Ariadne''{{'}}s commanding officer requested permission to land nonessential personnel on the planet due to the risk posed to their safety, but was refused by tower control.

Before it could arrive, however, the ''Ariadne'' experienced a reactor meltdown and the resultant explosion caused the deaths of everyone aboard. ''Monte Cassino'' was hailed by Venezia upon its arrival and warned that it was encroaching on the sovereign colony's territorial limits. Though the [[destroyer]]'s [[executive officer]] tried to assure the colony they had no intentions to land and were simply going to conduct search-and-rescue in the patrol ship's debris field, he was rebuffed and warned that if the ship did not withdraw it would be fired upon.

In March of that year the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] black operations unit, [[Kilo-Five]], was contacted by [[Mike Spenser]], an ONI spy who had embedded himself amidst the population in [[New Tyne]]. Kilo-Five had been present in a {{Class|Sahara|heavy prowler}} when the ''Monte Cassino'' and Venezia exchanged fire in January but had not revealed itself. Now, Spenser was inviting the team to meet him on the colony and promising that they should find what he had to show them very interesting. The {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}} emerged from slipspace 100,000 kilometers out from the planet and established communication with Spenser, who directed the prowler to a set of coordinates thirty kilometers outside of New Tyne. The [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, [[Vasily Beloi]] and [[Malcolm Geffen]], were covertly transported to the surface via Pelican where they rendezvoused with Mike and followed him to his new home in the city. There, they learned that one of the Venezians on Spenser's list of potential terrorists was [[Staffan Sentzke]], the father of the team's [[Spartan-II]], [[Naomi-010]]. Upon returning to the ''Port Stanley'', the ODSTs shared their revelation and the team left to finish business it had on [[Sanghelios]]. | In March of that year the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] black operations unit, [[Kilo-Five]], was contacted by [[Mike Spenser]], an ONI spy who had embedded himself amidst the population in [[New Tyne]].
