The Covenant were not immediately hostile and a peaceful meeting on the surface was arranged. The humans were represented by Attorney General [[Rol Pedersen]] and members of the [[Harvest militia|Colonial Militia of Harvest]], including its commander, [[Captain (ground forces)|Captain]] [[Ponder]]. Maccabeus arrived at the head of a group of Jiralhanae and [[Unggoy]]. The meeting went sour prematurely when an [[Yull|overeager Unggoy]] attacked and killed Private [[Osmo]]. Pedersen was killed, while [[Staff Sergeant]]s [[Nolan Byrne]] and [[Avery Junior Johnson]] escaped with a severely wounded Ponder. Maccabeus was wounded by Johnson from a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]].
