After a brief scuffle she kills the ambusher with her [[combat knife]]. Ray then re-establishes communication with {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. [[Roland]] informs her that the ''Infinity'' has been re-routed towards [[Ven III]]. Shortly after Ray discovers a turret-less [[Type-46 Spectre|Spectre]] and uses it to enter the [[pirate]] base. Aboard the ''Infinity'', [[Sarah Palmer]] briefs [[Fireteam Majestic]] about the [[Mission to Ven III|operation]] taking place on Ven III. She informs them that they will be tasked with rescuing [[Spartan]] [[Gabriel Thorne]] as well as recovering a [[bioweapon]]. Meanwhile the [[Unidentified Sangheili Storm|Sangheili agent]] meets with a [[Kig-Yar pirate queen]] inside the pirate base to bargain a deal for Spartan Thorne. Before a deal is established the queen questions the Sangheili's purpose for being on Ven III. He tells her he came for a bioweapon and that he captured the Spartan on her planet. He then warns her that the UNSC are aware of their location and will be on their way to rescue the Spartan. | ||
With the impending arrival of the UNSC, one of the queen's underlings suggests turning the Spartan over to the UNSC to maintain secrecy of their base. The queen rejects his suggestion and orders his immediate execution. She declares that the UNSC is already aware of their operation and that the only option is a counter-attack. She orders all ships to launching platform. Upon exiting [[slipspace]] the ''Infinity'' is met by an advance fleet. The ''Infinity'' launches multiple fighters to counter the small fleet in space. The [[F-41 Broadsword|Broadswords]] clear a path for the rescue convoy to enter Ven III's atmosphere. Meanwhile the Sangheili returns to the chamber holding Thorne so he can complete the exchange. However he and his Kig-Yar allies are ambushed by Ray. Ray destroys the control to the device detaining Thorne and tosses him his helmet. Ray then attempts to hold the Sangheili in-place until the arrival of the ''Infinity''. | With the impending arrival of the UNSC, one of the queen's underlings suggests turning the Spartan over to the UNSC to maintain secrecy of their base.
