Next week’s Spartan Ops episode will be bringing in the main person behind the Spartan project, Dr. Catherine Halsey. She’s been brought onto the UNSC Infinity to inspect the artifact from the prior two episodes, but ends up revealing that things are the other way around for the Infinity. As they themselves are the ones being studied by something on the planet’s surface. Looks like you’ll be heading back to the ground to get more info and I foresee a lot of shooting as well.
