Great team are standouts among the Spartan twos and have been since the early days of the program. Jai 006 was born on the colony of Buj in 2511. In September of 2517, he was kidnapped by agents of the Office of Naval Intelligence. He and 74 other candidates were brought to reach to be inducted into the Spartan II program. When he was told he would be conscripted, he tried to leave but was stopped. One night not long after arriving, Jai tried to escape, during which he met another candidate, Adriana 111. Over the next five months, the two became close friends as they attempted escape after escape, adopting different and more effective strategies each time. After suffering broken ankles, lost eyes, fingers and toes, trainers resorted to shooting the pair with stun rounds from a Pelican. Eventually Jai was sent to meet with Dr. Catherine Halsey, saying he wanted to go home. Halsey said she would allow it provided he underwent selective neural paralysis or memory erasure. She informed him that if he tried to escape again, he would be shot with a neural paralysis dart, waking up in a city with no memory of the previous five months. Unfortunately, the drug used would often react badly to children, sometimes erasing their entire memories, such as those of his new friend Adriana. She also noted that the orphanage he was from had it noticed his absence. The night after that meeting, Jai and Adriana made one last escape attempt. However they both decided to go back. Adriana had grown to like the program and Jai remained because of her. The next day, the two were introduced to Mike120, who had attempted to escape by flying away with a Pelican. The three would train together from there on out. On March 9th, 2525, the three underwent augmentations with the other 72 Spartan Jews. They were among the 33 that survived without complications. Sometime after receiving their Mark IV meal near armor and participating in the Battle of Kai City IV on November 27th, Jai, Adriana and Mike were formally designated great team. Together they would operate behind enemy lines, wreaking havoc on covenant and remaining insurrectionist targets. Jai operated as the team leader, Adriana as their infiltration specialist and Mike, the technical expert. In 2535, the group was deployed to what remained of the 23 Libre system to destroy navigation data held by the survivors of the colony Madrigal. When Madrigal had been attacked by the covenant, the colonists had been evacuated by local rebels and insurrectionists to an artificial habitat known as the rubble, a series of asteroids strung together. The survivors had since started formally trading with KGR, which had the UNSC worried about the security of the nav data. Adriana 111 formed something of a working relationship with rubble inhabitant Ignacio Delgado when she saved him from the once friendly KGR. Delgado was the only one who knew where the nav data was and Adriana believed she could use him to gather information about the insurrectionists that mingled with the survivors in the rubble. The two encountered each other again in a bar when Adriana was trying to gather information on a freighter called the Kestrel. Delgado was also looking into the Kestrel and when the two were overheard, they were attacked by five insurrectionists. Adriana neutralized them and took Delgado to great team's freighter, the Pentia. Great team revealed to Delgado their true mission before letting him leave. Soon after they were contacted by the rubble's AI, Juliana, who agreed to give the sparsons the nav data they sought in exchange for protecting the rubble. Meanwhile Delgado was, reluctantly, handing over the nav data to two members of the rubble security council who claimed they were going to use it as part of Project Exodus and effort to make a mobile habitat. As Delgado was about to hand the data over, one of the councilors beat their Bonifacio, shot the other councilor and Delgado, taking the data and leaving them for dead. While the other councilor died, Delgado was thankfully saved by great team. Delgado informed a great team of Bonifacio's plan to hand the data over to the KGR, the councilor hoping a broker peace with them. To stop Bonifacio, great team split up. Adriana and Mike went after the councilor's freighter, the Kestrel, while Jai and Juliana set free the crew of the U-1C mid-summer night. The mid-summer night had tracked modified plasma rifles to the rubble. The rifles had been traded to the inhabitants of the rubble by the KGR under the orders of the Prophet of Truth who in turn sold them to other insurrectionists. When the ship arrived, it was attacked and the surviving crew imprisoned. After freeing the crew which included then-Lutenden-Chake-up keys, Jai and the crew boarded Reth's ship, the infinite spoils. Meanwhile Mike and Adriana had managed to disable Bonifacio's ship and board it. Bonifacio had hidden away in an escape pod but was quickly found. He said he'd tell the sparsons where the Navdata was if they let him go, which they reluctantly agreed to. Bonifacio took his escape pod and tried to contact Reth for help, but Reth left the councilor to die when he discovered Bonifacio no longer had the Navdata. On board the infinite spoils, Jai and the mid-summer night crew eliminated KGR and raided the ship's computer systems. Jai himself had a brief run-in with the Sungheely Thelvademy. Vatemy had been sent by the Prophet of Regret to find the source of the modified plasma rifles, regret on a way of truth's plan to use them to find other human colonies. The Sparrow and Elite were fairly evenly matched, but Jai was forced to retreat before a winner could be decided. Afterwards it was discovered that Reth had been breeding an ungoi army on the nearby moon of Metaset as part of his plan to attack the rubble and take it over. Great team was initially content to ignore this since their mission had been completed, but Lieutenant Keys managed to convince them to help. Jai and Adriana were deployed to Metaset with squads of ODST's VIA-HV. Adriana's group took out AA defenses, while Jai's took out the KGR's sensors, allowing Giuliana to use evacuated asteroids from the rubble to bombard the moon. Afterwards the Sparrow and ODST's and all other survivors were evacuated either on board the UNSC mid-summer night or the Exodus asteroid. Following the mission, great team were debriefed by their handler Commander Hadley and Admiral Preston Cole himself. The team had lost their freighter the Petya and requested a prowler for future missions. Hadley agreed to get them one and noted that they would soon be sent even further behind enemy lines, something great teams seemed excited about. Sometime in late 2551, great team was sent on a mission against a covenant facility in what was once human territory. By the time of Operation Red Flag in August of 2552, great team had been out of contact for almost a year. This wasn't caused for concern however as it was standard operating procedure for great team. However great team would remain out of contact for several more years. Now in 2558, great team has been found once again. As a war is brewing on the human and sun helioccupied colony of Carro, the UEG has dispatched an envoy to broker peace. Unknown to most however, this envoy has also been ordered by the Office of Naval Intelligence to find a way to free great team who have been held in stasis by a sun heli shipmaster since the end of the war. What happened to great team? How were they captured and what will their fate be? Great team story will be continued in Halo Envoy, releasing on Tuesday, April 25th. Hey guys, thanks for watching.
