In [[2553#January|January 2553]], Mal Geffen and Vaz Beloi were hand-picked by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] Commander-in-Chief, [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Parangosky]], to serve under [[Serin Osman|Captain Serin Osman]] as part of a black operations team designated [[Kilo-Five]]. The team, comprised of pilot [[Lian Devereaux]], Dr. [[Evan Phillips]], Spartan [[Naomi-010]] and AI [[Black-Box]], were tasked with sowing discord amongst the dis-organized [[Sangheili]]. On their way to the initial briefing in [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]] in [[Sydney]], Mal and Vaz stopped by in the ruins of the [[Parthenon]] bar to raise a drink in honor of their friend Emanuel Barakat, who had been killed in action during the final stages of the war.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 35''</ref>  


As part of Kilo-Five, Geffen served aboard {{UNSCShip|Port Stanley}}, participating in several missions. The team was tasked with sowing discord amongst the now-disorganized [[Sangheili]] by a number of means, including providing arms to the [[Servants of the Abiding Truth]], a faction opposed to the [[Covenant separatists|allies]] of [[Thel 'Vadam]]. <ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 67''</ref> These included the extraction of the ONI agent [[Mike Spenser]] from [[Reynes]], where Geffen and Beloi were involved in a brief firefight with several [[Kig-Yar]] who were attempting to claim the team's dropship for themselves. At one point, Kilo-Five seized the Covenant cargo ship ''[[Piety]]'' and successfully captured a [[Huragok]], [[Requires Adjustment]]. Geffen and Beloi were also present during several arms transactions between Kilo-Five and the Servants of the Abiding Truth.

After ONI had established communications with the human survivors inside [[Trevelyan]], Admiral Parangosky ordered Kilo-Five to arrest [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]].

In March 2553, Evan Phillips, accompanied with a fragment of BB, left Kilo-Five to study Sangheili culture on Sanghelios. Mal had warned him not to get killed on his journey. Shortly after, Mal and Vaz were assigned to meet with Spencer on [[Venezia]]. Once in Spenser's hideout in the city of [[New Tyne]], Spencer showed them pictures of all the insurrectionist leaders based on the planet. They looked through the pictures and found one of them to be Naomi’s father, [[Staffan Sentzke]]. However, their investigation was put on hold after an explosion in [[Ontom]], Sanghelios severed Kilo-Five's communication with BB's fragment and Phillips. They were retrieved by ''Port Stanley'' and sent in to recover him.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 456''</ref>
===Mission on Sanghelios===
Arriving at Sanghelios during [[Sangheili civil war|'Telcam's assault on Vadam]], Kilo-Five searched for Phillips in the [[Temple of the Abiding Truth]]. They were initially refused entry into the temple by [[Olar]] because they were nonbelievers. As BB negotiated with him, a nearby Sangheili crowd became aggravated by their presence. Olar relented and allowed Kilo-Five inside the temple. After they realized that Phillips was no longer inside, they evacuated as the Sangheili mob stormed the area. <ref>'''Halo: The Thursday War''', ''page 179''</ref>
 
BB eventually located Phillips through an intercepted communication and they quickly traveled to [[Nes'alun Keep]] in [[Acroli]] to evacuate him. They extracted Phillips in the midst of a skirmish at the keep. During their evacuation, their pelican ''[[Tart-Cart]]'' was damaged by a [[Banshee]], forcing Devereaux to put her down for repairs. They were followed by a [[Phantom]] piloted by [[Forze 'Mdama]], who had been sent by 'Telcam to recover Phillips for them. After being instructed to help them with repairs, Forze handed over some pipes and wire and left. Devereaux was then able to get ''Tart-Cart'' off the ground.
 
On their flight back to ''Port Stanley'', a fire erupted and they had to re-route to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. There, they witnessed ''Infinity'' in action as it helped the Arbiter by destroying many of the Abiding Truth's vessels. Parangosky then ordered them to extract their informant 'Telcam from the ground. As Kilo-Five abducted 'Telcam from the battle, ''Port Stanley'' posed as a [[Kig-Yar]] pirate ship and destroyed a few of 'Vadam's ships in order to maintain the stalemate between the two factions. Kilo-Five dropped 'Telcam off on New Llanelli and were later retrieved by ''Port Stanley''.
