Battle of Bivec
Bunsen was deployed with Alpha-3 along with Lance Gorse to the Vemal Mountains to attack the Spires located there. The team landed and swiftly moved through Covenant territory and into the Spire’s shield. Entering the spire, the team killed the spire guard and deactivated the Spire’s shields as Purple Team entered the Spire’s area and attack.

Mortis
After the Vemal Mountains were cleared, Gorse and Bunsen were deployed to the city of Mortis to assist Purple Team. Alpha-3 were deployed with Gary-009, Owen-022 and Jane-105 behind enemy lines to push into a Covenant LZ. While on the attack, both Gorse and Bunsen were able to steel a Shadow and push further into the territory. While on the assault, the spartans were able to crash a corvette into the captured LZ.

Due to an assault carrier making its way towards the city, Alpha-3 was forced to retreat into new territory.

As the weeks progressed, Alpha-3 was extracted with Gorse and Bunsen due to overwhelming Covenant advances on Ulysses City and other UNSC strongholds.
