On [[2526#March|March 20]], Nyeto attended one such service in the ''Vanishing Point''{{'}}s command [[hangar bay|hangar]] for the two-hundred-and-three men and women killed during the conflicts at Seoba. Aside from the twenty-two insurrectionist agents he had planted on the ''Ghost Star'', he was internally glad that none of the dead would take up arms against the Insurrection ever again. When [[Ojombo|the chaplain]] finished giving the eulogy, she turned to Nyeto for him to commit the interment capsules to space. In ceremonial fashion, he ordered Staff Sergeant Johnson to call the two formations of the honor company to attention, raise the [[AlON pressure barrier|pressure barrier]], and open the outer hatch. As the capsules were lifted out into the void by the decompression wave, Nyeto saluted and recited the Committal he had prepared. He then had Johnson close the outer hatch and dismiss the honor company. However, the Spartans and some high-ranking officers stayed behind to hear about their next course of action from their new commander.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS16}} | On [[2526#March|March 20]], Nyeto attended one such service in the ''Vanishing Point''{{'}}s command [[hangar bay|hangar]] for the two-hundred-and-three men and women killed during the conflicts at Seoba.

Seeing John-117 staring at him intensely, Nyeto approached and | Seeing John-117 staring at him intensely, Nyeto approached and complimented him on what he and his compatriots had accomplished the day prior. To get on her good side, he even complemented Dr. Halsey on her work with the Covenant [[kelguid]] that they had fished out of the remains of the corvette the Spartans destroyed. When John asked if he would reconsider sidelining them due to their age, Nyeto promised that they would be seeing all the action that they could handle for the rest of the operation. Hearing this, Crowther strode forward and told him that that decision was not his to make as the Spartans reported to him. Nyeto reminded the colonel that he now reported to ''him'', and that they needed the obvious talents of the Spartans. When Crowther reminded him that they were only fifteen, Nyeto pointed out that [[Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]] had surely been aware of that when he formed Task Force Yama. Unfazed, Crowther told him that sending children into battle would be a big mistake, threatening the lieutenant commander by hinting that he would report him to a UNSC board of inquiry. Realizing that he could not afford having trained investigators poking around his ships and insurrectionist-aligned crews, Nyeto relented and promised to run their next ambush by the book, with only the Black Daggers participating in the mission. Nyeto and the Prowler Corps left the hangar together at the port exist while the Spartans and Black Daggers took the starboard exit.{{Ref/Reuse|HSS16}} | ||
