On [[2556|February 7, 2556]], Locke led an [[Locke's team|ONI team]] dispatched to the distant [[human colonies|human colony]] [[Sedra]] to investigate [[terrorism|terrorist]] activity. During the investigation Locke's unit and the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]] were forced to cooperate after [[Sedra City]] was targeted by a [[Sangheili Zealot]] terrorist wielding a powerful [[bioweapon]]. While patrolling the outskirts of Sedra City, the team spotted a [[Yonhet]] smuggler named [[Axl]] supplying the Sangheili Zealot with a stasis refrigerant. While [[Gregory Ramos|Agent Ramos]] apprehended Axl, Locke, [[Michael Horrigan|Horrigan]], and [[Alistair Estrin|Estrin]] pursued the Sangheili. Locke chased the Sangheili into a city access tunnel while Horrigan and the rest of the unit headed directly to the city. After a brief skirmish inside the access tunnel, the Zealot escaped into a Sedran mall with Locke pursing him. As the Sangheili prepared to activate the bioweapon, Locke jumped on top of the Zealot, disabled the alien's [[energy shielding]], and wounded him with his [[M6H magnum]]. Locke attempted to force the Sangheili to surrender, but the Zealot jumped off a ledge and activated the bioweapon instead, killing himself in the process. Many humans throughout the city began showing signs of infection, including Locke's fellow operatives [[Jordan Gaines]] and [[Mason Hundley]]. The unit went to the [[Sedra Colonial Guard Hospital]], where Locke and the uninfected members of his unit went through a decontamination process. After searching the [[Bactrian-class freighter|freighter]] used to transport the bioweapon to Sedra, Locke and his unit witnessed [[Randall Aiken|Colonel Randall Aiken]] brutally interrogating Axl. However, speaking in the Covenant's trade pidgin, Locke persuaded Axl into revealing what he knew of the origins of the element used in the bioweapon.<ref name="nightfall1">'''[[Halo: Nightfall]]''', ''Chapter 1''</ref> | On [[2556|February 7, 2556]], Locke led an [[Locke's team|ONI team]] dispatched to the distant [[human colonies|human colony]] [[Sedra]] to investigate [[terrorism|terrorist]] activity.

The unit learned of the weapon's core component—an entirely new element originating from a [[Alpha | The unit learned of the weapon's core component—an entirely new element originating from a [[Alpha Shard|partly functioning segment]] of [[Installation 04]] that orbited perilously close to a red giant star. The team discovered that a second tug was travelling to the shard to mine the element's deposits on the fragment. After getting the approval of [[Goodwin|Rear Admiral Goodwin]], the team was forced to cooperate with the Sedran Colonial Guard to travel to the Alpha Shard, capture the smugglers who mined the element for interrogation, and destroy the deposits of the element with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]]. However, they would be forced to complete their expedition within the sixteen hours the ring's landscape side faced away from the star; during the "day" the temperature and radiation would become unbearable. Taking a [[D81-LRT Condor]] to the partially functioning fragment, eleven ONI and Colonial Guard personnel traveled to Alpha Shard.<ref name="nightfall1"/> | ||
