The four Spartan-IIs were fitted with [[neural-inhibitor collar]]s so that they could be interrogated by rebel leader [[General]] [[Howard Graves]]. The rebels were unaware, however, of a fifth Spartan who had avoided the trap: new addition to the team, [[Kurt-051]]. Kurt was able to free the other members of Blue Team using a modified Warthog and several [[Asteroidea anti-personnel mine]]s. General Howard Graves was killed in the process. | ||
The freed Spartans loaded the three warheads into the Warthog and retreated from the base before the Insurrectionists could organize a proper counterattack. They were then picked up by a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship]] and left the system aboard the {{UNSCShip|Bunker Hill}}. | The freed Spartans loaded the three warheads into the Warthog and retreated from the base before the Insurrectionists could organize a proper counterattack.
