After landing, the team made their way past fortified anti-aircraft emplacements to the city of [[Ciudad de Arias]], where the Beacon was situated. In one of the city's skyscrapers, they assessed the Beacon's defenses, observing a large swarm of [[Yanme'e]], overseen by [[Kig-Yar]] guards and some [[Mgalekgolo]]. Black-Two was then ordered to find a safe room for them to get some rest. In one of the rooms, she found an injured, apparently non-hostile Yanme'e, whom she nicknamed "[[Hopalong]]". The Drone, through a translator device, revealed an alternate, hidden route to the Beacon. While Black-One and the rest of the team were suspicious, they decided to trust the Yanme'e. | ||
In the next morning, the team proceeded to move to the Beacon through the tunnels, intending to plant C-12 explosives on each of the Beacon's four [[Anti-gravity technology|anti-gravity pylons]]. The Spartans eventually reached a large cavern near the Beacon and parted ways. After a ten-minute countdown was up, One ordered the rest of the team to place the charges on the pylons. Meanwhile, Hopalong had acquired a Covenant computer device which it used to free the rest of the Yanme'e. It was then revealed that the Spartans had been tricked: the Drones, who now started attacking everyone, were not slaves, but "[[Unmutuals]]", prisoners incapable of normal socialization with the rest of their kind. After being engaged by two Mgalekgolo and a massive Drone swarm, Two planted the charge on the pylon and begun her escape back to the rally point. | In the next morning, the team proceeded to move to the Beacon through the tunnels, intending to plant C-12 explosives on each of the Beacon's four [[Anti-gravity technology|anti-gravity pylons]].

Some time after the mission on Verge, Team Black was to embark on [[Operation: BLOWBACK|a covert mission]] to infiltrate a Covenant vessel.

While she was inside the structure looking for her teammates, [[686 Ebullient Prism]] took control the [[Heads-up display|HUDs]] of the team's MJOLNIR armors to deceive them and to pit them against each other.

This may, however, be linked to her inquisitive and curious nature, which may have been a contributing factor to her role in the team. She has a characteristic light-hearted sense of humor, and is fiercely loyal to her teammates and would refuse to leave one of them behind, despite direct orders.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', "Blunt Instruments", ''page 216''</ref> | ||
