During their way up, [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] contacted the team from [[Cairo Station]]. Hood told them they had a new mission, and a [[UNSC prowler|prowler]] was dispatched to extract them. Hood then relayed a message from [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] on [[Onyx]], received by the [[Remote scanning outpost|Remote Scanning Outpost]] ''[[Democritus]]''. As they ascended, the team reviewed the message, which contained information about the [[Battle of Installation 05|recent events]] on [[Installation 05]], [[the Flood]] and that [[John-117]] was on his way to Earth aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]]. Finally, Halsey requested Fleet Command to send Spartans to Onyx in order to retrieve valuable Forerunner technologies.<ref name="twentythree"/> | During their way up, [[Fleet Admiral]] [[Terrence Hood]] contacted the team from [[Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station]].

Hood had prepared one of UNSC's fastest ships, the [[UNSC corvette|corvette]], {{UNSCShip|Pony Express}} to transport the Spartans to Onyx. Fred, however, realized it would still take weeks to reach [[Zeta Doradus system|the system]] with a UNSC ship and that there had to be a faster way.<ref name="twentythree"/> Near the elevator, they noticed two [[Covenant]] {{Class|CPV|heavy destroyer}}s. Fred formulated a plan to hijack and use one of them to get to Onyx. The plan was approved, and the corvette {{UNSCShip|Chalons}} was sent to distract the Covenant ships while the Covenant sent [[Type-25 Troop Carrier|dropships]] to retrieve the nukes from the space elevator. However, the Spartans hid under the hull of one of the dropships and managed to infiltrate the [[Hangar bay|shuttle bay]] of one of the destroyers, the ''[[Bloodied Spirit]]'', undetected. | Hood had prepared one of UNSC's fastest ships, the [[UNSC corvette|corvette]], {{UNSCShip|Pony Express}} to transport the Spartans to Onyx.
