On [[2552#October|October 13, 2552]], he was part of a scouting team that investigated gravitic and radiation anomalies near [[Argyre Planitia]].

The Kig-Yar, led by [[Shipmistress]] [[Chol Von]], boarded the ''Inquisitor'' and attempted to commandeer the ship for themselves. Sinks, distrustful of the Kig-Yar and only compliant to Sentzke's orders, placed the ship in complete lock-down. Once Kilo-Five located the ship, Sentzke convinced Sinks to allow him and Vaz to come onboard.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 398''</ref> Mal and Naomi subsequently boarded the ship in a different location and eliminated several members of the Kig-Yar crew.<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 421''</ref> | Meanwhile, a crew of [[Kig-Yar]] [[piracy|pirates]] contracted by 'Telcam located ''Pious Inquisitor''.
