A piece of Ark fell near Defiance. A big one. I took a squad in to scavenge and, somewhat against my better judgement, brought Nolan as well. It turned out that there was a Gulanee in there. Alive, active, not in stasis, and pissed as hell at all humans, thinking that the war was still on. Not that Viceroy Mercado never bothered to mention any of that to me. I lost the squad and destroyed the Gulanee. [Well, Nolan did. But he helped. And Churchill. Churchill did more than anyone.]

It was just a week or two after the mess up with the E.G.O. implant. And Mercado send me away. I never had the change to see my plan through to completion.
