He was unable to reach is destination due to the lifeboat beginning to come apart in Carrow's atmosphere and was forced to crash land in the [[Uldt Desert]].

After learning more of the post-war situation from a recently awoken Melody, they began traveling on foot towards [[Gila Station]] in the northern part of the [[Karfu Mountains]].{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC9|Env|Chapter=9}} During this trip, Mike expressed anger towards being a soldier and being forced into war upon war.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC10|Env|Chapter=10}} Ninty-six kilometers out from their destination, Gray Team was engaged by a [[Banshee]], which they promptly destroyed.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC11|Env|Chapter=11}} Arriving at Gila Station, they were admitted into the facility by [[Commander]] [[Greg van Eekhout]], whose pleasant demeanor earned the team's distrust. As such, Mike decided to explore the station in order to get a general layout of the facility and locate any supplies. He then joined Van Eekhout and Adriana in the station's briefing room, where he fielded questions about the [[SPARTAN-II program]] from the ONI agent. Afterward, Gray Team confronted Melody and Van Eekhout over being deployed into the Carrow Conflict. This led to the team discussing Operation: SUNSPEAR for the first time since they carried it out.{{Ref/Reuse|ENVOYC12}} They were then briefed by Melody and Van Eekhout on the threat posed by the [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] [[Hekabe]] and the [[Sharquoi]] situated below Suraka.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC13|Env|Chapter=13}} Sometime after the briefing, Gila Station was attacked by a Sangheili assault team led by Thars. Mike and the rest of Gray Team were ordered to leave Melody and Van Eekhout behind and take the station's [[Warthog]] to Suraka to assist in the fight.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC14|Env|Chapter=14}} While discussing if they should return to the station to save Melody, Mike reaffirms that the three of them are still a team, relieving some of the tension present between the Spartans since Operation: SUNSPEAR.{{Ref/Novel|Id=ENVOYC15|Env|Chapter=15}}
