On [[2526|March 5, 2526]], Kurt-051 led Spartan Green Team on an operation to recover Covenant technology, specifically by capturing a [[Covenant]] [[Radiant Arrow|vessel]]. Working alongside them were Spartan teams Blue and [[Gold Team|Gold]], for a total of twelve Spartans. This attempt at capture went awry when the starship’s [[self-destruct]] sequence was activated by its [[Shipmaster]], forcing Kurt and the other Spartans to evacuate.<ref>[[Halo: Silent Storm]], ''Chapters 1-3''</ref> Just two days later, all three teams were assigned to Operation: SILENT STORM, a mission intended to give the UNSC time to develop effective countermeasures against the Covenant.<ref>[[Halo: Silent Storm]], ''Chapter 5''</ref> | On [[2526|March 5, 2526]], Kurt-051 led Spartan Green Team on an operation to recover Covenant technology, specifically by capturing a [[Covenant]] [[Radiant Arrow|vessel]].

Kurt took part in the raid on [[Biko]]’s moon [[Seoba]], where [[Task Force Yama]] intended to stage its first attack on an inbound Covenant fleet.

Unbeknownst to the task force until their arrival, [[Insurrectionist]] forces had already chosen the moon as a place to negotiate with the Covenant,<ref>[[Halo: Silent Storm]], ''Hardcover page 133''</ref> but these were quickly routed by the Spartans and their [[21st Space Assault Battalion|Black Dagger ODST]] allies, and the survivors taken prisoner. When the Covenant arrived, they attacked the prowler [[UNSC Starry Night|Starry Night]], causing it to crash in a nearby ice quarry. Kurt and Green Team helped to rescue its few surviving passengers, and fend off encroaching Covenant forces before they could steal anything from the prowler.<ref>[[Halo: Silent Storm]], ''Chapters 14 and 15''</ref> | ||
On March 20, [[Marmon Crowther|Colonel Marmon Crowther]] discreetly encouraged the Spartans to go on a covert mission to attack a Covenant logistics convoy over the planet [[Etalan]].<ref>[[Halo: Silent Storm]], ''Chapter 17''</ref> When this mission commenced six days later, Kurt and teams Green and Gold were tasked with piloting [[S-14 Baselard]]s, with the objective of infiltrating logistics vessels and placing [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon|Havok warheads]] within their hulls. Once the Baselards were close enough to their targets, Kurt and the others would exit the fighter craft (which would then serve as decoys) and use [[extra-vehicular activity]] to board the targets.<ref>[[Halo: Silent Storm]], ''Hardcover page 251''</ref> Using these tactics, he and the other seven Spartans ended up successfully destroying four logistics vessels. Afterwards, when their prowler escorts moved in to extract them from orbit, their retrieval created an unintentional diversion that helped Blue Team deliver the killing punch to the convoy’s munitions carriers.<ref>[[Halo: Silent Storm]], ''Chapter 20''</ref> | On March 20, [[Marmon Crowther|Colonel Marmon Crowther]] discreetly encouraged the Spartans to go on a covert mission to attack a Covenant logistics convoy over the planet [[Etalan]].<ref>[[Halo: Silent Storm]], ''Chapter 17''</ref> When this mission commenced six days later, Kurt and teams Green and Gold were tasked with piloting [[S-14 Baselard]]s, with the objective of infiltrating logistics vessels and placing [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon|Havok warheads]] within their hulls.

There, Kurt's talent for sensing danger saved Blue Team from being captured by the [[Insurrectionist|rebel]] [[General (UNSC)|General]] [[Howard Graves]]. Graves had set an ingenious trap for the Spartans, which used [[antigravity plate]]s to fool their armor's systems into reacting as if gravity had increased, knocking them unconscious and allowing Graves to keep them immobile with [[neural-inhibitor collar]]s. John, [[Kelly-087|Kelly]], Fred, and [[Linda-058|Linda]] were trapped in Graves' clutches. Kurt saved them with four [[Asteroidea anti-personnel mine]]s, then removed their collars and got them out in a [[Warthog armored personnel carrier|patchwork Warthog APC]]. Any mixed feelings John had previously vanished. John told Kurt never to hide his "feelings" again, and Kelly, better with words than John, welcomed the Spartan to the team.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 37'' (''"Welcome to Blue, Spartan.
