While traveling through [[slipspace]] in the Condor, the crew of the Condor began to argue. Aiken settled the argument by taking tactical command of the mission, and ordering the rest of the group to act like a team. Shortly after, the crew arrived at their destination and landed on the Halo shard's surface. After discovering the abandoned tug used by the smugglers, horse tracks were found nearby. The group followed the tracks' direction and come across the two smugglers—[[Arris Le]] and [[Haisal Wari]]—mining the element in a cave. The smugglers attempted to escape but [[Michael Horrigan]] and Locke quickly incapacitated and [[Physical restraints|restrained]] the smugglers. The team began to return to the Condor for extraction; however, while the [[dropship]] was setting down, a large number of [[Lekgolo]] appeared and began to swarm over the Condor and it flew off erratically—now controlled by the Lekgolo. More Lekgolo eels appeared in large gestalt formations, forcing the group to retreat as three of the Sedrans and the horses were killed. The fast Lekgolo began to pursue the team who escaped into a narrow crevice. Locke used a special appliance to [[Holography|holographically]] camouflage their position from the aliens. However, the Lekgolo quickly sensed the cloaking unit and destroyed it. As the eels closed in on the group, Arris revealed that the Lekgolo can sense active technology and movement, prompting the group to reluctantly shut down the electronics present in their equipment. Unable to detect the humans, most of the Lekgolo left the area and the nine survivors moved out of the crevice.<ref name="nightfall2"/> | While traveling through [[slipspace]] in the Condor, the crew of the Condor began to argue.

While the nine remaining members of the team continued their trek across the surface, it became apparent that only two members of the group would be able to escape in the smugglers' two-seat tug. Aiken concluded that the team must work together until the mission is complete, whereupon they would draw straws to decide which two individuals will make it. As the team continued to move towards the HAVOK warhead from the wreckage of the Condor, they abandoned their armor to prevent the Lekgolo from detecting them. The team only kept their [[oxygen]] packs that allowed them to breathe on the shard's thin atmosphere. While activating the packs to refill on oxygen, the group was discovered by the Lekgolo, resulting in [[Samantha Wisner]]'s death. The survivors were ultimately able to escape the worms.<ref name="nightfall3">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 3''</ref> Later, when taking another oxygen break, Horrigan and [[Gregory Ramos]] betrayed the remaining survivors, and took the weapons and oxygen packs for themselves. The two also took Arris, as they needed him to activate the freighter. While the traitors abandoned the team, Aiken discovered the crashed Condor.<ref name="nightfall4">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 4''</ref> | While the nine remaining members of the team continued their trek across the surface, it became apparent that only two members of the group would be able to escape in the smugglers' two-seat tug.
