In [[2552#October|October 2552]], he was assigned to a top-secret recon mission in [[Installation 04]]'s debris field in the [[Soell|Soell system]]. The initial mission objectives were to "jump to coordinates classified higher than top secret, retrieve samples of an alien artifact for study, conduct basic recon, expect [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] trouble." As soon as the crew found a lifepod with a survivor from the ''[[Mona Lisa]]'', Foucault was shown the expanded orders: "Assess the status of the ''Mona Lisa'', and if compromised beyond retrieval, destroy."<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', "[[The Mona Lisa]]", ''pages 237-238''</ref> Throughout the mission, he was aware that he didn't know everything that was going on with the situation around the [[Installation 04]] debris field, and later, the situation of the squad aboard the ''Mona Lisa'' and why the ''Red Horse'' was brought here. He knew the recently transferred [[Smart artificial intelligence|"smart" AI]] [[Rebecca]] knew more, but was unwilling to share as per her orders. | In [[2552#October|October 2552]], he was assigned to a top-secret recon mission in [[Installation 04]]'s debris field in the [[Soell|Soell system]].

As the mission progressed and it was evident that his squad on the ''Mona Lisa'' could be in harm's way, he was reluctant to follow Rebecca's suggestions to make their orders priority as he tried to find out what was happening and help his squad. In the face of unknowns, with the in-the-know A.I. making some strong suggestions, he was determined to not abandon is men and fire at the [[Flood]]-infested ''Mona Lisa''. After Rebecca finally revealed the Flood threat, Foucault became shaky in his resolve, unsure about what actions he should take. He finally told [[Zhao Heng Lopez|Lopez]] (who was on the ''Mona Lisa'') that the ship had to be destroyed, and the crew on the Mona Lisa had 8-10 minutes to evacuate. | As the mission progressed and it was evident that his squad on the ''Mona Lisa'' could be in harm's way, he was reluctant to follow Rebecca's suggestions to make their orders priority as he tried to find out what was happening and help his squad.

Following protocol, Foucault reluctantly fired a series of [[Shiva-class nuclear warhead]]s at the ''Mona Lisa'', with Sergeant Lopez still on board as the last human survivor. | ||
