===John-117 conspiracy===
Ray Kurzig was called in by [[Benjamin Giraud]] during the latter's investigation of [[John-117]] to debunk conflicting information found on both the Master Chief's parents and his death. In the area on business, Kurzig met with Giraud to show him financial records indicating that the Master Chief's parents were still alive after [[2524]] and further conflicting with all of the other information Giraud had been given previously.<ref>'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 03: Critical Condition''</ref> Later to ensure that he did not lose any of his information on the investigation, Giraud sent all of it to Kurzig before entering the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]]'s [[Boston]] headquarters.<ref> '''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 04: Crossing the Black''</ref> After learning of the cover-ups made in his investigation and going against ONI, Giraud called on Kurzig to help him find evidence of the lies fabricated in the interviews with [[Jakob Walker]], [[Gabriella Dvørak]], and [[Deon Govender]]. Kurzig arrived at Giraud's home and after listening to Giraud's theories onto how ONI created the cover-ups, he told Giraud that Walker and Dvørak's information checked out and he was unable to discredit their identities. Giraud disagreed, considering how odd Walker acted during his last encounter. Before they could keep conversing on the issue, [[Petra Janecek]] broke into Giraud's apartment, annoyed that he released a recording of his last conversation with her and threatened to kill him. Soon after, [[Mshak Moradi]] revealed that he was listening to the whole conversation through Giraud's [[COM pad]] and was the cause of his encounter with Walker on the plane. He also revealed that he was contacted by someone named "[[FERO]]" who he had never really spoken to. Kurzig and Janecek began to leave, wanting nothing to do with Giraud's investigation anymore. Just before Kurzig left, he stated that the real Govender died seven years ago.<ref>'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 06: Boxing Story''</ref> Later, Kurzig contacted Giraud to arrange a meeting at a local bar. At the bar, Kurzig revealed that he managed to uncover an ONI record on Walker and found that the former soldier was neither retired nor in active duty.

Kurzig later met with Giraud at an undisclosed hideout. After assuring Giraud that he took the precautions necessary to get to the hideout without being followed, he informed Giraud that he had news about [[Raid on Biko peace talks|the incident]] at [[Biko]]. Kurzig showed Giraud a message from the [[Sangheili]] delegation at Biko saying that both they and the Master Chief had nothing to do with the massacre and questioned the [[Unified Earth Government]] for doing nothing while the population of Biko called for unjust blood. Kurzig then told Giraud that the footage showing Biko's population as peaceful is a loop of old footage, and that he managed to track down a fact-gatherer named [[Ravi]], who captured video evidence of protests, riots, and martial law happening on the planet. He told Giraud that [[Richard Sekibo]]'s men want to clear the Sangheili but have been silenced by the UEG, and that the real perpetrators of the massacre are a group of rebel extremists called [[Sapien Sunrise]]. In return for this information, Kurzig asked Giraud if he could call Janecek and see what they were saying on Earth as he was unable to make contact with his parents on Earth. Giraud called her, but before he could say anything, Janecek interrupted him and told him she has a lead he might be interested in. Giraud agreed to it and Petra sent him the details: an anomaly on the glassed planet, [[Bliss]], with a 72-hour time window.<ref>'''Hunt the Truth''', ''Episode 10: Gag Order'' </ref> After finding all the evidence he needed, Giraud planned to expose ONI on [[ECB News]] and sent Kurzig files, asking him to forward them on to a select people.

The authenticity of all of his sources was supposedly disproved. This, coupled with heavy skepticism from Kesler, cast his story as little more than the ramblings of a conspiracy theorist. Giraud, concerned for Kurzig, demanded for proof of Kurzig and his family's well being. Kesler told Giraud that Kurzig is alive and well and that he gave them detailed information on how Giraud fabricated his evidence.
