Military History 2520 - The Trust Incident Rear-Admiral Brandon Yates accomanied Vice-Admiral Jeffery Skinner to Harvest in an effort to recruit Commander Preston Vernette into ONI Section 0. Yates was largely opposed to the idea of recruiting Vernette. Yates believed that ONI Section 0 was placing far too much value on Vernette. He argued that Vernette's expertise in weapons and technology was not rare, and that any number of people could replace Vernette. Yates even argued that ONI Section 0's contract with Korman Industies more than filled the services that Vernette offered. However, Yates' concerns were dismissed by ONI Section 0. Yates, although not in agreement with ONI Section 0 concerning the matter, oversaw the full recruitment of Vernette, and ensured that Vernette's needs were met. Yates often spoke to Vernette in a very disparaging tone, often giving Vernette a hard time for the most innocuous of problems, such as being a minute late for a meeting. However, despite Yates' personal issues with Vernette, Yates had to eventually agree that Vernette was very good at what he did. About a month after Vernette had been recruited into ONI Section 0, Yates had found himself in the middle of an investigation concerning Preston Vernette and Vice-Admiral Constantine Spender. Yates learned that Spender had made several attempts to recruit Preston Vernette into an organization known as the Trust. It was also learned that Spender had recruited a highly dangerous Class 0 Spartan by the name of Lucien-Z002. Yates met with Vernette and Skinner, along with several ONI Section 0 operatives, namely Dr. David Burke, Cameron-Z091, Nikolai-Z035, Major Marshall Winters, and Lt. Colonel Dylan Everet. Yates and Skinner aggred that Vernette should lead the aforementioned operatives on a mission to capture Spender and return Lucien to ONI Section 0. In order to fully carry out this mission, Vernette was granted command of The King Raven, a Halcyon class battle ship that was intended to fall under the command of Yates. Yates was very displeased with this outcome, and this resulted in a grudge against Vernette. As it turned out, after Vernette had successfully completed his mission, by bringing Spender back to faces corruption charges and by capturing Lucien and bringing him back to ONI Section 0, Yates was summoned by the now incarcerated Spender. Spender offered Yatea a deal; in exchange for destroying evidence to convict Spender of any wrong-doing, Spender would use his authoirty in Section 0 to do everything he could to get The King Raven back under the command of Yates. Yates agreed to this proposal, and in turn, joined the Trust in Vernette's place. After Spender was cleared of all charges, command of The King Raven was transfered back to Yates. The First Battle of Harvest In an emergancy situation, Yates found once again that the King Raven, which had undergone serious combat refits, was placed back under the command of the now Captain Vernette. Yates did not like this decision one bit. He felt that his ship was constantly taken from him to fill Vernette's needs. Despite Yates' objections, Skinner transfered command of the King Raven back to Vernette. As a result, Yates had no direct involvement with The First Battle of Harvest.
