|gender=Male |height= |mass= |hair=Graying |eyes= |affiliation=*University of Edinburgh Office of Naval Intelligence |rank= |sn= |notable= }} }} Doctor William Arthur Iqbal is a human scientist and one of the handful of experts in the field of xenoarchaeology. Iqbal oversaw the study at the Department of Xenoarchaeological Studies at the University of Edinburgh. In 2553, after the end of the Human-Covenant War, Iqbal was employed by the Office of Naval Intelligence for his extensive knowledge in xenoarchaeology. Biography In 2553|January 31, 2553, Iqbal sent a message to his fellow security-cleared colleagues in which he addressed the classified nature of their research and informed that they now worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence as per ONI Emergency Order 1416-2, regardless of their original post and designation. In the letter, he also discussed the post-war situation and the relations with former Covenant races, suspecting humanity would continue to compete with them for information about Forerunner relics. Iqbal also discussed some details concerning their research of Forerunner artifacts, especially the Slipstream space|slipspace Portal at Voi|portal generator in Africa which he referred to as the "Excession at Voi". He announced that the investigation of the Ross-Ziegler Blip would be re-opened due to its connection with the mass extinction event that coincided with the activation of the Halo Array. That month, he published a peer-reviewed paper based off his research conducted on the Portal at Voi, in which he regarded the portal as perhaps the greatest boon in xenoarchaeology, but also issued caution for the dangers it may pose. The need for research at the portal bought Iqbal's department resources to investigate alongside University of Calcutta|Calcutta University's Department of Xenobiology. He also called for the review of the research on the Forerunners gathered on Coral, Heian, Reach, and other worlds. Through later research of the Ross-Ziegler Blip at Voi, Iqbal and his team discovered the remains of what was thought to be the Librarian's Catalog seven meters down. In 2555|March 2555, Iqbal was present for a meeting by the Office of Naval Intelligence in Sydney's HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6|HIGHCOM Facility. He was joined by Commander-in-Chief of the Office of Naval Intelligence|CINCONI Serin Osman, several military representatives, and Doctor Bob Casper. Iqbal informed them of the countdown Luther Mann and Henry Lamb had discovered on Installation 07, which they correctly suspected was a countdown to the activation of the Halo Array; Iqbal and Casper concurred with their findings. Iqbal suggested that the only way to stop the activation process was at Installation 00, however doubted their ability to reach the Ark and considered the Portal at Voi inoperable. The group decided to reach out to the Swords of Sanghelios for assistance, and ultimately succeeded in disabling the activation process. In 2557|June 2557, Iqbal served as the head of xenoarchaeology for Project BOOKWORM|Project: BOOKWORM, an initiative led by Annabelle Richards to locate and interrogate 343 Guilty Spark. Upon hearing word that Guilty Spark may be on Geranos-a, the Eclipse-class prowler|prowler UNSC Bad Moon Rising|''Bad Moon Rising'' was dispatched to investigate. While Iqbal was confident that they would be able to hold Guilty Spark once he was on Earth, Richards was less certain. After an exchange between ONI and the salvaging crew of ''Ace of Spades'' on Binterall, Richards believed they had obtained Guilty Spark and brought the datacore back to their facility in Voi, where Iqbal was preparing to place the datacore in a containment facility. However, Guilty Spark had only placed a small fragment within the datacore and had remained with the crew of ''Ace of Spades''. Once ''Ace of Spades'' arrived in Kenya, Guilty Spark used his fragment to shut down the facility.''Halo: Renegades'', Chapter 44 Iqbal later identified a Lifeworker pod under Mount Kilimanjaro that Guilty Spark had used to converse with an imprint of the Librarian. He further discovered that Guilty Spark and the crew of ''Ace of Spades'' had fled using a portal that led to the top of Kilimanjaro. Personality and traits William Iqbal has extensive knowledge of all subjects related to xenoarchaeology, a study that he oversees at the University of Edinburgh. However, Serin Osman considers him a self-satisfied prude, though she tolerated him for his expertise in xenoarchaeology. Despite Osman's reservations, Iqbal placed great trust and held utter confidence in Doctor Luther Mann, a fellow xenoarchaeologist who Iqbal considered to be the preeminent expert in Forerunner culture. Iqbal wore thick glasses, which he did not need with modern advances. However, like many scholars, he wore them as a sign of respect for old traditions.

}} William "Billy" Khaleed is a human excavator for the Liang-Dortmund Corporation working on the "deglassing" of Meridian. Biography Following the end of the Human-Covenant War, William Khaleed served as an excavator for the Liang-Dortmund Corporation on the human Outer Colony of Meridian, working to "deglass" the world's surface after the Covenant had Glassing|glassed Meridian in 2551. Establishing the settlement of Meridian Station, the excavators began to Terraforming|reterraform Meridian's surface by mining away at the lechatelierite that covered the moon's surface. Khaleed estimated that the deglassing of Meridian would take approximately two decades, as he believed the Covenant had done a "rush job" when they glassed the moon during the Battle of Meridian. However, Khaleed found it to be emotionally difficult when he encountered the bodies of those killed by the glassing, particularly dogs. He recorded his experiences in a personal log. On 2558#October|October 25, 2558, when Meridian was Battle of Meridian (2558)|attacked by Prometheans, Liang-Dortmund attempted to fight off the constructs and prevent them from reaching Meridian Station. Their efforts were supported by the United Nations Space Command's Fireteam Osiris, who had come to Meridian for Blue Team|ulterior reasons; Governor Sloan reluctantly agreed to have his forces work with the SPARTAN-IV program|Spartans. At the time of the attack, Khaleed was stationed at a service garage alongside Luiz Santiago, where they took care of Liang-Dortmund's M820 Scorpion tank. The service garage eventually came under attack by Prometheans, and Khaleed and his peers requested aid from Sloan. The governor directed Osiris to assist Khaleed in fending off the Prometheans and, in exchange, granted them access to operating the Scorpion, despite Khaleed's reluctance. The Spartans were quick to eliminate the constructs at the garage and, with access to the Scorpion, eventually prevented the Prometheans from attacking Meridian Station.

Ensign William Lovell (service number 78349-90983-WL)Data Drop|Data Drop Six was a Ensign|junior officer in the UNSC Navy, briefly serving as a member of the command crew of the . During his eventful career, he developed a Career Service Vitae|CSV that was at least twice as long as Jacob Keyes'.Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''page 159'' He had been awarded the Bronze Star three times. Biography Lovell enlisted voluntarily, and was immediately enrolled at the Luna OCS Academy|Luna Officer Candidate School due to his high grades. During a training flight he demonstrated heroism by saving the entire crew from an accident, and this helped him to graduate from the academy after only two years. Upon being commissioned he took the first outbound UNSC corvette|corvette headed into battle Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''pages 133-134''. Within three years he had been promoted to Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant and had been decorated with a Silver Star, three Bronze Stars, and two Purple Hearts. He served aboard the for a period of four years. A promising career was rocked by a series of mishaps: four reports of insubordination and two transfers. Ultimately, his demotion back to Ensign may have been caused by an "incident" involving Anna Gerov, a civilian and possible daughter of Vice Admiral Gerov . Lovell was reassigned to Remote Scanning Outpost ''Archimedes'' on the fringes of the Sigma Octanus system. He was there for well over a year, an unheard of duration for such a remote facility . This was partially by his own choice: due to his judgment that he had broken under pressure and having seen so much death, he was content with the isolation and relative safety of the outpost. In 2552, while still serving aboard the ''Archimedes'', he detected the silhouette of Covenant ships headed for the Sigma Octanus. While he did not positively identify the silhouette as such Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''pages 137-138'', his report allowed UNSC forces to converge in defense of the system in time to win the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV. Lovell was reassigned to the under Captain Jacob Keyes, replacing Lieutenant Jaggers as navigation officer. There he participated more actively in the latter stage of the battle. Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''page 188'' Shortly afterward, Lovell was transferred with the rest of the command crew to Keyes' new ship, the cruiser , which was to be sent on Operation: RED FLAG, which was postponed due to the Fall of Reach. As the ''Autumn'' sat in stationary orbit on the far side of the planet, Lovell detected unusual EM readings bouncing off Turul and contacted Casimir Station looking for an explanation. Unbeknownst to the crew of the ship, which was being kept ignorant of the Covenant invasion, the readings were actually a result of battles occurring on the other side of the planet. Despite his low rank, and the surprise it caused among the bridge crew, Lovell performed skillfully, even under pressure. He and Cortana successfully extracted the ship from the disaster. When the ship was abandoned during the Battle of Installation 04, Lovell piloted and landed his Bumblebee lifepod (Kilo Tango Victor 17) containing Keyes, the command crew, and the Covenant spy Isna 'Nosolee. After landing, he and the rest of the lifepod group attempted to escape the Covenant, successfully for some time. Because they were wanted alive (at least until the leading officer could be identified), the small group managed to inflict heavy damage on the Covenant, who were under orders not to harm them. Ultimately, they were captured by the Covenant after being betrayed by Ensign Ellen Dowski. In an attempt to avoid execution, he made a desperate dive for an M6D Personal Defense Weapon System|M6D handgun, but was shot and killed by a Sangheili Sangheili Minor|Minor's Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol.Halo: The Flood, ''page 99'' ; 2010, ''page 103'' List of appearances ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' ''Halo: The Flood'' ''Halo: Fall of Reach'' *''Halo: Fall of Reach - Covenant|Covenant'' Sources Category:Human characters|Lovell, William Category:UNSC Navy officers|Lovell, William

William-043 was a SPARTAN-II supersoldier. He was one of the few Spartans to survive the catastrophic Fall of Reach, but he was later killed on Onyx by a Mgalekgolo pair, after valiantly engaging them in hand-to-hand combat. Complying with Office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930, William-043 was listed as Missing In Action|MIA, continuing the tradition that Spartans never die. Biography William-043 was conscripted into the SPARTAN-II program in 2517, at age six, when Dr. Catherine Halsey singled him out as a physically and intellectually superior child. He was then replaced with a Flash cloning|flash clone and taken to Reach, where he was trained by Deja and Franklin Mendez|CPO Mendez alongside the rest of the Spartan children. He was part of the missions to the Military Reservation 01478-B, Military Wilderness Training Preserve, and several missions in the Highland Mountains. During the Covenant invasion of Reach, Will assigned as Red-Twelve, part of Fred's team sent to protect the orbital defense generators. As the group descended to the surface of Reach, their Pelican, Bravo 001, was shot down. The Spartans were forced to jump from the crashing Pelican. William suffered injuries upon landing, including a cracked tibia and some internal bleeding. Although these injuries severely hampered his fighting abilities, his Spartan endurance and biofoam allowed him to continue on. Will was assigned to lead the splinter team designated Team Delta by Fred. His team consisted of five other Spartans as well as the remains of Charlie Company. They were to secure the fallback position for the Spartans; CASTLE Base. Though separated from the Charlie Company Marines and three of the Spartans, Will, Vinh-030, and Isaac-039 managed to make it to the entrance of the facility. They were unable to enter it until Fred and Kelly-087 met up with them and whispered Oly Oly Oxen Free into the speaker of the base entrance. It turned out that Dr. Halsey was in the facility, and she let them in. Seeing that William's injuries were the least severe, Halsey sent him and Fred on a supply run in the base. They picked up a number of experimental pieces of equipment, including several armor modifications and new weapons. Dr. Halsey then activated Operation: WHITE GLOVE; the self-destruction of the base to prevent the data within from falling into Covenant hands, forcing the five Spartans and Halsey to retreat to the mining caves beneath the base. They were trapped in the caves for several days, during which William received an upgrade to the tracking system on his HUD, which improved his accuracy at nearly 1,000 meters. A Covenant strike forced them deeper into the mountain until they discovered a Menachite portal complex|Forerunner complex housing a Forerunner crystal|crystalline artifact. It sent a spike of radiation that allowed the Covenant to triangulate their position. The Covenant breached the ceiling of the complex and a gravity lift soon appeared, sending Sangheili|Elites and Kig-yar|Jackals pouring into the caves. The five Spartans and Dr. Halsey attempted to escape into another tunnel, but as they ran into a nearby cavern. Vinh and Isaac managed to drop satchel charges and collapse the entrance, which protected Will, Fred, Kelly, and Dr. Halsey for some time until they were rescued by Danforth Whitcomb|Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb and the survivors from Installation 04. Will was then brought aboard a Spirit and taken to the captured ''Ascendant Justice'', under control of Cortana. Will was then designated as Blue-Five for the Spartans' extravehicular mission to repair the ''Ascendant Justices damaged plasma conduit while the ship was in an anomalous Slipspace bubble caused by the Forerunner artifact.

William, Fred, and Linda traveled to Onyx by capturing the ''Bloodied Spirit'' and using it to travel there, destroying the Covenant vessel's sister ship before leaving. After landing on Onyx, William and the other Spartans soon encountered Kurt-051, Halsey, Kelly-087, Franklin Mendez|Mendez, and the SPARTAN-IIIs. After Blue Team was informed of the situation on Onyx, the ONI Artificial intelligence|AI Endless Summer informed the group of his discovery of a Forerunner Sentinel manufacturing facility|facility at one of the planet's poles that was producing Onyx Sentinels and that the group needed to destroy the factory. The group disabled the factory and pressed on towards the core room antechamber|core of the planet, where they discovered a slipspace portal at the apex of a tiered structure. Will and the surviving Spartans took positions around the portal, preparing to defend it from the pursuing Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant. The Covenant soon arrived and the two groups engaged in a large battle. Will's final act was to leap forward and engage two Mgalekgolo|Hunters without a weapon, to distract them so Kelly could recover from a concussive blast, which had also killed Holly-G003. He killed a Hunter by ripping the Lekgolo worms that composed it out of its armor. Stunned by the sight of the Spartan taking on a Hunter in hand-to-hand combat, none of the other Covenant attacked him. The creature's Mgalekgolo#Anatomy and physiology|bond brother shot him with its assault cannon. Will took a single step towards the Hunter after the blast melted the front of his MJOLNIR armor, and then collapsed and died.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 361'' After successfully escaping into the Shield World, the surviving Spartans held a funeral and memorial service for their fallen companions. Personality and description Will was resolved to be a very reserved, but extremely determined individual. John-117 once noted that "''He never failed to complete his missions.''" When he was younger, he always had jokes and riddles that kept the spirits of the Spartans high. Over the years, his lifetime of combat hardened him, as it had all of the Spartans. John-117 thought that something special in Will had been lost. Because the SPARTAN-IIs' numbers had been thinned by the war, it seems that he developed a close working relationship with Frederic-104. He preferred his shortened name, "Will" over "William", which he thought of as too formal. He seems to have a talent for using the Rocket Launcher. He could shoot down a moving Banshee at long range. He also shows exceptional hand-to-hand combat skills. Before his death, he was able to fight and slay a Hunter in unarmed combat. This was a valiant action that cost him his life, as he was struck at point-blank range by the other Hunter's assault cannon. Will is sometimes considered to be one of the most courageous Spartans, alongside Sam-034 and Kurt Ambrose|Kurt-051.

File:Wind turbine.png|300px|thumb|Three Wikipedia:Darrieus wind turbine|vertical-axis Darrieus wind turbines in Visegrad, Reach. A wind turbine is a machine that converts the wind's kinetic energy into rotary mechanical energy, which is then used to do work. In twentieth first century's advanced models, the rotational energy is converted into electricity, the most versatile form of energy, by using a generator. Wind turbines with three blades spin more smoothly and are easier to balance than those with two blades. Also, while larger wind turbines produce more energy, the smaller models are less likely to undergo major mechanical failure, and thus are more economical to maintain. Many different models of wind turbines exist, the most striking being the Wikipedia:Darrieus wind turbine|vertical-axis Darrieus, which is shaped like an egg beater.

Windward is a ''Halo 3: ODST'' Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight map, based on the Campaign Mode|campaign level NMPD HQ (Level)|NMPD HQ. Players initially spawn with a Sniper Rifle System 99D-S2 Anti-Materiel|Sniper Rifle at the start of the round, but only ammunition can be found on the map. All players respawn with M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|SMGs. The Special Enemy of this map is the Banshee, which spawns at the beginning of every wave and 2 LAU-65D/SGM-151|Missile Pod Turrets with which to shoot it down. Layout Players start in a central building on the second floor. When they leave this room, they will enter a hall with stairs in the middle. On the other side of the hall there is a room with two med-kits. If you go downstairs, you will find two med-kits on each side of the hall (making it four med-kits in the central building). Should you take the doors in the lower hall, you will enter a small room with doors that lead on the left and right ledge. In the middle of this small room is a rocket launcher pack with two rockets. Looking towards the ledges, you will find the M41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon|rocket launcher on the left (on a small dispenser, which is near the missile pod) and the M90 Shotgun on the right side (this time it is further away from the missile pod than the rocket launcher is). Going all the way to the ledge will reward the player with extra ammunition. On both sides of the central building, there are two courtyards (or gardens) with multiple stairs and paths which lead to: second floor of the central building, rocket ammo room, landing pads and ledges. This map has a number of small tunnels which lead to two landing pads. You can enter these tunnels from the lower courtyards near the ledges. Enemy spawn points Enemies can enter the playing field by a number of ways: Phantoms (which land on the pads or in the middle of the courtyards) or from the "monster closets" (shielded doors that the player can't enter). When the bonus round begins, the grunts can come from the roofs of the surrounding building or from the mentioned "monster closets". Enemies which appear on this map are: Brutes (all forms and ranks), Grunts, Jackals (a Jackal sniper can appear as well, but most of the time they are equipped with carbines or shields), Drones (shielded variant is present as well), Hunters and Brute-piloted Banshees. Tips The best method of playing on this map is to hold up in the central building and exit only to get the Rocket Launcher and Missile Pods from outside to use against the Covenant Empire|Covenant inside the central building. From there, it's all about good aim and a little bit of crowd control. If you decide to stay outside, you will be either shot to death, or stuck after the Catch Skull comes into play (there are just too many places from which the grenades can bounce off). Your best option is to take the advice above. Though you can survive for a long time on the earlier sets and rounds, your only difficulty may be the Banshee as it's hard to kill as it flies away if you try to stick it with a grenade or shoot it, you can use the Missile pod but if there isn't one to hand you can use the neat little trick: Go down to one of the landing platforms with a plasma pistol, charge up the plasma pistol to full, wait until the Banshee is in range as the a charged plasma pistol is homing, it should hit the Banshee and cut out its engines causing the Banshee to fall, I recommend you shoot the Banshee when it's flying away otherwise it may land on the platform and just start up again, meaning you've wasted some plasma pistol energy. If you decide to hold the tunnels, then you will probably be burned by Brute Stalkers, which can be hard to detect and even harder to avoid once they enter the tunnels, stuck by grenades, once the Catch Skull comes into play, or caught by Grunts|Kamikaze Grunts. If you are playing solo, a good way to survive is just to hold up in the central room. This effectively "funnels" the Covenant. The Sniper Rifle is not very useful in this map. Try to utilize the Noob Combo, as it is most effective against Brutes. A Carbine is also a good choice, but once the Famine Skull kicks in, you are going to have some difficulty in keeping an ample supply of ammunition. To kill Brutes and Jackals, you can use the Noob Combo. Use a Missile Pod or a Rocket Launcher to deal with Chieftains and Hunters. Note: during the final wave, the Sniper Rifle can become vastly important, for getting rid of any enemies which will cause you a great deal of trouble, such as the abundance of Brutes which are dropped off. A great hiding spot is underneath the escalator. Usually you can sneak out for quick assassinations. The interesting thing about this map is even though the Sniper Rifle isn't very useful, you will never find a moment where you run out of ammo. In fact, there are about three boxes of Sniper ammunition around the map, one located near the Shotgun, another located near the spare rockets, and a third and final box located near the hallway on the left, facing the incoming Phantoms courtyard which leads to the lower docking area. You can also find some more spare rockets inside the center building. A good idea is to stay on the top level of the map, hopping between the left and right ledges using the central building as cover when thing get a little too dangerous. Falling back into the top room of the level allows you to choose where your opponents run instead of them choosing where you go, as well as allow you to keep your M6C/SOCOM|Pistol and M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG fully stocked. You can make a Banshee fall out of the sky and die by overcharging the plasma pistol, however, you will not get the Double Kill as with other vehicle kills in the game, only the Brute pilot will be scored. The M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG can make short work of Yanme'e|Drones. It is advised to keep one near should a swarm of Drones appear. Another helpful strategy is to hold of in the large room across from where you spawn. There are two health packs for easy taking, the windows are indestructible, and the room is small so when chieftains come, you can easily assassinate them if you have two or more players. Also when you are in this room, try to push the large table against the door to make a great barrier. You can easily get a Halo 3: ODST Medals#Halo 3: ODST|Spree Medals or Multi-Kill Medals from a heavy weapon if you aim the troops that are coming down from the Phantom at the landing pads. Snipers will be ineffective on this map, particularly when battling Flood Forms. Arm the NMPD Officers with Rocket Launcher, as it will be very helpful in taking down Pure Forms that were often hanging around the wall. When fighting Sentinels, quickly take cover at the spawn point. If there were Flood happens nearby, let them take each other out. *The open space would often makes the players become an easy target for the Sentinels. Achievement Score over 200,000 total points on this map to unlock the Firefight: Windward (Achievement)|Firefight: Windward achievement worth 10 gamerscore. This can be obtained online or solo on any difficulty, making it a rather easy achievement to obtain. Trivia Windward is currently the only Firefight (Halo 3: ODST)|Firefight map in which the player starts with a Sniper Rifle System 99C-S2 Anti-Materiel|Sniper Rifle as a primary weapon rather than spawning with the default load being the M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|Silenced SMG and M6C/SOCOM|Magnum. If a player travels to the rocket spawn to the left of the missile pod there is a face if the player jumps off the cliff in the corner. If the player looks on the floor inside on the upstairs health room, there are two different Identification Badge|ID Badges that have photos of Bungie employees on them. Under the main Drop off platform, there is an Easter egg know as the Windward Face, it is also at the part of the campaign level where you fight off the Banshees. One can see the ruins of ONI Alpha Site (location)|ONI Alpha Site and the destroyed Mombasa Tether in the background of the level. They are both visible from the Northwest side of the map.

WINTER CONTINGENCY Declaration Supplemental Orders was an automated Office of Naval Intelligence directive classified "Above Top Secret: Pri Alpha". It contained orders for ONI field agents on the planet Reach in the event of the declaration of WINTER CONTINGENCY (protocol)|WINTER CONTINGENCY.Halo: The Fall of Reach (2010), ''Bonus Content'' Contents The following numerically identified officers, Headquarters: United Nations Space Command, Reach, Epsilon Eridani System, will execute the following orders before evacuation of system according to Cole Protocol strictures. Field Officer 345-261b|Field Officer #345-261b Field Officer 345-104b|Field Officer #345-104b Adjunct Field Officer 311-112b|Adjunct Field Officer #311-112b Field Officer 227-112b|Field Officer #227-112b Special Officer 223-212a|Special Officer #223-212a ORDERS FOR FIELD AGENTS FOLLOW Redact all XNAV and ASTRONAV assets. //ORDERS FOR FIELD AGENTS TERMINATE BACKGROUND, HISTORY, AND DETAILS FOLLOW You are reading an evacuation order mandated by the emergence of a WINTER CONTINGENCY situation. This particular order is automated and the circumstances surrounding the specific emergence are not detailed here. Please consult EMERG/PUSH/SECURE for more current information. FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIELD AGENTS All Cole Protocol mandates are in force. It cannot be stressed enough that Cole Protocol mandates include machinery, equipment, records, logs, AND personnel. Every agent on this distribution list has been through Scaled Morality Training|SCALED MORALITY TRAINING and should understand the responsibilities entailed. Cole Protocol measures are useless without sterilization of all triangulation information whether it is stored digitally or ''organically''. As a field agent, this single fact is the most important guideline you should follow. BACKGROUND All Astronavigation personnel carry a subdural pulse-coded emitter that is activated by WINTER CONTINGENCY and nullified once aboard a secure vessel or location. They are unaware of this device or its purpose. You can exploit local GROUNDNET or utilize ONI NAVSPEC to identify and secure these assets. There is no termination date for this order. Once WINTER CONTINGENCY is declared, all assets must be secured or REDACTED until such time as Protocol-mandated rendezvous point is reached safely. Do not be overestimate the apparent complexity of the (astronav) task. A good Astronavigator can identify and triangulate a very precise point in space using just a few known XNAV Pulsar signatures and any consumer-grade spectrometer or field kit. Our opponents are of course aware of this and have shown interest in such personnel in the past. So far hermetic measures have worked. They are not guaranteed to work forever. UNSC HIERARCHY Under the Limon-Naxla Exception|LIMON-NAXLA EXCEPTION you are hereby ordered to ignore or countermand all mission-contradictory orders from ranking UNSC officers below the grade of ''secure-clear Captain''. ONI ranking officers may still issue contravening orders but use your judgment and common sense in applying the EXCEPTION. If the logic of the situation dictates than an advantage may be gained in your mission by following orders then do so. This is not carte blanche for intrabranch insubordination. Superior officers can and will file reports on LIMON-NAXLA EXCEPTIONS. You must also, if possible, clearly assert LIMON-NAXLA privilege to any senior officer giving excepted orders, if the situation provides an opportunity to do so. Otherwise, agent discretion is in play. //DETAILS/DOC END List of appearances ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' *''Halo: The Fall of Reach#2010 bonus content|Adjunct'' Sources Category:Office of Naval Intelligence

It immediately follows the first level Noble Actual, which includes the game's opening cinematic. Summary In the level, Noble Team is sent to Visegrad, a remote agricultural region of the planet Reach, to investigate a disturbance in the Visegrad Relay|communications relay responsible for the planet's communications to the rest of the United Nations Space Command|UNSC, and the disappearance of the UNSC Army|Army troopers sent in to investigate before them. Sabotage by insurrectionists is suspected, but the cause of the disruption is revealed to be a Covenant Empire|Covenant advance infiltration force.: ''February 2010 issue'' At the Visegrad relay, Noble Team finds the corpse of a Laszlo Sorvad|researcher alongside his surviving Sara Sorvad|daughter. Shortly after, several Sangheili Zealots attack the Spartans, and after a brief scuffle they retreat deeper into the facility. Eventually Noble Team brings the relay back online, and contact Urban Holland|Colonel Holland, declaring Winter Contingency. Transcript ''Two UH-144 Falcons fly over a mountainous landscape.'' ''Carter-A259 is shown from behind, looking over at the other Falcon.'' Commander (UNSC)|Commander Carter-A259: "Listen up, Noble Team. We're looking at a downed relay outpost, fifty klicks from Visegrad. We're going to introduce ourselves to whoever took it out, then Kat's going to get it back online." Lieutenant Commander Catherine-B320: "Just get me under the hood, Commander." Warrant Officer|Chief Warrant Officer Jorge-052: "Sir, why would rebels want to cut off Reach from the rest of the colonies?" ''Carter is shown from the front.'' Carter-A259: "You get a chance, maybe you can ask 'em, Jorge." ''The camera shifts to behind the two Falcons.'' Kat-B320: "Commander, we just lost our signal with HQ." ''Cut back to the second Falcon from Carter's point of view.'' Carter-A259: "Backup channels?" Kat-B320: "Searching... Nada. Can't say what's jamming us." File:Winter Contingency.JPG|thumb|300px|The Falcons arrive at Visegrad. ''The two Falcons are once again shown from behind, from a greater distance. They are now approaching the outpost.'' Carter-A259: "You heard her. Dead zone confirmed. Command will not be keeping us company this trip." Warrant Officer Emile-A239: "I'm lonely already." ''The Falcons bank left and hover over the outpost. Fade to black.'' {''Gameplay''} Carter-A259: "Shoot down attempts are likely, so keep your distance." Pilot (COM): "Yes, sir!" Carter-A259: "Let's stay focused. Watch your sectors." ''The two Falcons head in opposite directions as the Comm Relay Hub comes into view.'' Jorge-052: "There's the communications outpost." Kat-B320: "Reading a distress beacon." Carter-A259: "Could be the missing troopers. Let's check it out." Carter-A259: "Put us down on the bluff." ''The Falcon circles for a landing.'' Carter-A259: "Jun, I want your eyes in the sky." Warrant Officer Jun-A266: "Sir." ''The Falcons land side by side, and Carter jumps down.'' Carter-A259: "Let's go, Six." ''Noble Six exits the Falcon along with Carter, Emile, and Kat. Jun and Jorge remain in their respective Falcons to provide sniper support.'' ''A distress beacon has been detected near Visegrad Relay Outpost. Investigate and locate the beacon.'' Carter-A259: "Alright, Noble Team. Spread out. Watch the approach." ''Six follows Noble Team down the hillside. Emile swiftly jumps on to the top of a boulder and checks the surrounding area.'' Emile-A239: "Structure point 3-4, looks clear from this angle." ''The Spartans advance further down the hill.'' Kat-B320: "Distress beacon's coming from just south of here, Commander. We're close." Carter-A259: "Roger that. Eyes peeled." ''Soon they come to a burning vehicle next to a small building. There are blood spatters on the ground near the wreckage, but no bodies. Emile begins inspecting a broken pallet on the ground and removes a red object from it.'' Emile-A239: "Found the beacon." File:HR KatInspectsBeacon.jpg|thumb|300px|Kat inspects the distress beacon. ''Emile tosses the beacon to Kat.'' Carter-A259: "Make out any ID?" Kat-B320: "Negative, but it's military." ''Kat drops the beacon on the ground.'' Jorge-052 (COM): "So, where are all the troopers?" Kat-B320: "Why are we not seeing explosives residue?" Carter-A259: "Noble Three, can you confirm any 'ex residue in the area?" Jun-A266 (COM): "Hmm... Negative, sir." Emile-A239: "Plasma Weaponry|Plasma, maybe." Jorge-052 (COM): "Can't be. Not on Reach." Emile-A239: "There's a ''lot'' of blood on the ground." Carter-A259: "All right, Noble, looks like there's nothing here. Let's move on." ''If the player shoots at the gas tank nearby, detonating it:'' Carter-A259: "Stand down, Noble Six!" ''Noble Team heads off to another cluster of buildings.'' Kat-B320: "Smoke at the next structure, boss." Carter-A259: "Circle west and check it out. Noble Team: you have permission to engage, but be selective. We don't need to telegraph our presence." ''The team arrives at a house overlooking the cliffside.'' Carter-A259: "Noble Six, move into the house. Go in quiet. I'm right behind you." ''Noble Six moves through the house.'' Jun-A266 (COM): "Noble Leader, I'm seeing heat-sigs in the structure ahead."

''(What are you doing here?)'' Farmer: ''(Hungarian)'' "Csak nem akartunk meghalni." ''(We just didn't want to die.)'' Jorge-052: "Hiding, sir. Neighbors were attacked last night.

Jun-A266 (COM): "Fill me in, Commander, what are you seeing? Over." ''Carter kneels down over the pools of blood and examines them. Avian footprints can be seen in the blood, moving across the floor.'' Carter-A259: "We've got military casualties, two of the missing troopers. Looks like they were interrogated... It's messy." ''Carter stands back up and signals the team to keep moving. They enter an adjacent room with another dead body. Movement is suddenly heard on the roof, and a brief hostile contact is detected on the motion tracker, which refreshes.'' Carter-A259: "Movement. Watch your motion trackers." ''Noble Team heads outside, but the contact disappears.'' Emile-A239: "What the hell was that?" Carter-A259: "Jun, you see anything?" Jun-A266 (COM): "Negative. Thermal's clean." ''Noble Team heads into a nearby building.'' Jun-A266 (COM): "Boss, I see movement, outside your structure!" Carter-A259: "Noble Two, move up to the west. We're about to be flanked." ''Noble Team moves to a set of windows, where they see the contacts: Unggoy and T'vaoans. One of the Skirmishers sees Noble Team and begins squawking in alarm.'' Jorge-052: "Huh?"

In the building in which Noble Team first find the dead humans, there are seven corpses as a seven reference; four civilians and two troopers in the main room plus one civilian in the adjacent corridor. In the cinematic where Noble Six is attacked by Elites, the MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System|Assault Rifle has 7 rounds left in it, another seven reference. The Lieutenant reloads it shortly after. In the opening cutscene, both Falcons are armed with side mounted machine gun turrets. However, during gameplay, the Falcons are only armed with forward mounted turrets. This is to prevent the second, third and fourth player from firing the turrets, as they sit on the gunner seats in co-op. Several seconds before the player exits the Falcon (at the beginning of the level), if they keeps on looking left they will notice that the Falcon flies right through the trees. Upon exiting the abandoned building at the beginning of the level, the player can hear an Elite growl. However, if the player manages to catch a glimpse of the fleeing Covenant, it is revealed that it is actually a Skirmisher. This can easily be seen in Theater mode. When Noble Six punches the Zealot attacking him, its shields do not flare. Seconds later, Kat shoots at it with her Magnum, and its shields flare. A similar mistake happens earlier, Jorge's shields do not flare when Sara Sorvad punches him. In the beginning of the level when the player first gets out of the Falcon, when the checkpoint loads the player's motion tracker may disappear,but then reappear in a few seconds. When Jorge tells the farmer to get back inside, the player can block the door (which would automatically close regardless), preventing him from entering. He would now speak in English when touched or shot at like a normal civilian, despite appearing to only speak Hungarian previously. Just after Rally Point Alpha, the player can use a Plasma Pistol to disable and steal Jun's Falcon, holding position above a hill. The invisible "driver" of the Falcon will be ejected when it is upside down (an Assault Rifle will drop out of the cockpit). The player can then fly the Falcon around the level, but numerous invisible barriers will make travel difficult. If the player does not dismount before rescuing the Troopers, the player will be stuck inside the Falcon (the player wasn't supposed to exit the Falcon until it has reached the relay outpost). Because only an AI driver could bypass invisible barriers, the player must restart to proceed. Alternatively, they may continue until the dropships are assaulting the troops, and park the Falcon in the energy field in between the drop ship's prongs. Eventually, the ship will fly away, taking the Falcon with it. About five seconds after the dropship moves past the ruined bridge, the player is now past the invisible wall. They can then release themselves from the dropship and fly to the Relay Station by following the road, continuing the mission normally. However, it's possible to get past the invisible barriers while still in full control of the Falcon. The player must fly it into the forward section (inside the U) of a Spirit dropship and getting the Falcon somewhat locked into it, so that when the Spirit eventually flies away, it takes the Falcon (and thus the player) with it. The tricky part is keeping the Falcon still locked into the forward section while the Spirit often wobbles around and can sometimes shake the player off, forcing him/her to start over. When the Spirit hits the invisible barrier, still with the player's Falcon locked into it, the Falcon will be pushed through the barrier with the Spirit, although the player will take extreme damage (to the point of no health bars even left) from the pressure of breaking through the barrier, but will not die as the Falcon is fully indestructible. The Falcon at a point through the break-through may be dislodged and unsuccessful in getting past the barrier, but if successful, the player will be past the barrier and is now fully free to fly throughout the entire map without the fear of any more barriers. Do note that the entire map is extremely large end to end and transversing it may take a very long time, and it can be very easy to get lost if the player wants to fly back to where the game is supposed to take place. The Weaponless Elite glitch can be performed in this level. It is possible to prevent Carter from getting into the Falcon after rescuing the troopers by parking the Spade on the Falcon's landing site. If the Falcon is rammed at the right time neither of them will get in and they appear at the outpost alongside Emile and Kat. Carter will not be heard responding to other NPC's dialogue, until he reappears at the relay outpost. It is possible for Carter and other members of Noble Team (except Six) to get shut out of the outpost when the door seals. Despite this, Carter will still be heard saying "[I]'' Can't see a thing... Noble Six, turn on your night vision''," as if he was right next to the player. The level is named after WINTER CONTINGENCY (protocol)|WINTER CONTINGENCY, a UNSC contingency plan that is declared in case Covenant forces have discovered a UNSC colony world. Indeed, the first evidence of Covenant ground activity on Reach is discovered in this level. The Firefight map ''Overlook'' is based on a section of this level, but has different weather conditions. This level marks the first appearance of Skirmishers in the ''Halo'' franchise. This is the second time in the ''Halo'' series where the first playable level features drivable vehicles. There are eagles (or possibly another bird of prey) flying around the landscape. They can be shot and will react similar to the seagulls on ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map ''Last Resort''. The eagles have considerably more health than any if the other birds found in the game. They can survive multiple rounds from a Designated Marksman Rifle or a M6G magnum. The easiest way to kill them is to use the drivable Falcon and shoot the bird with its turret. When killed, the eagle will simply become a stagnant model and fall to the ground. It will be completely stiff but can be moved by the player. There is also a medium-sized red bird that has a red head crest in the level. Groups of the animal will appear throughout the mission and fly ambiently. They have no sounds and will simply explode into a splatter of blood when shot. There is no death model. When playing on Legendary difficulty, a cloaked Special Operations Sangheili|SpecOps Elite will spawn near the start of the level, fleeing from the site of the distress beacon to the bottom of the first hill. It holds a Data pads|data pad, which can be accessed if the player kills the Elite. To keep to the storyline consistent, Noble Team will not react to its death. This is the first of the four levels (the others being ONI: Sword Base, Tip of the Spear, and The Pillar of Autumn (Halo: Reach level)|The Pillar of Autumn) where the MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle Six starts with has more than the usual 288 rounds. In this case, it carries 600 rounds. This could be a possible homage to the MA5B Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', which also had a capacity of 600 rounds. If the player were to kill the farmer while he was being interrogated, the player will die instantly. It is possible to kill the Skirmisher that is seen early in the level if the player runs out quickly and fires on it with their M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|pistol. Noble Team may even react to this kill with combat dialog (e.g. Good shot, Six!) that severely contradicts the fact that they are unaware of the Covenant presence. A "Micro" Skirmisher can be seen on top of a barn in this level. It will not try to escape and will recoil if shot. If killed, it will drop a needle rifle. It's corpse will be small, but the limbs and neck will be stretched out. One of the Zealots can be seen fiddling with the junction that the player later has to reset. The Zealot who attacks Noble Six in the cutscene hits his head on the doorway just as his shields recharge. Regardless of the weapons the player is carrying before the cutscene in which the Zealot strike team ambushes Noble Team in the outpost, the player's loadout will reset to MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle and a magnum when the pursuit starts. Similarly, Noble Six will always wield an MA37 Individual Combat Weapon System|assault rifle in cutscenes even if they do not carry the weapon in gameplay.

It is written for play at the Legendary difficulty, but contains notes for lower difficulties. This is the second level of Halo: Reach and the first playable one. For this mission you are joined by the rest of Noble Team less Jun-A266 who remains in the UH-144 Falcon|Falcon. Your mission is to discover what has occurred to the Communication Relay station that has gone offline. Your initial loadout for this mission is your MA37 Assault Rifle an M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|M6G Pistol and 2 M9 High-Explosive Dual-Purpose Grenade|M9 Grenades. It is important to note that as this walkthrough at the Legendary difficulty, all strengths of enemies reflected are at the Legendary level. NOBLE Team (Mission Start) The first part of this mission is going to be a lot of learning how you move and getting comfortable with the controls. Once you're off the Falcon, immediately head down the hill towards the beacon. Once you've reached the beacon, your team will get directions to head towards another set of buildings. Follow your squad. Eventually you'll run into a group of farmers who will tell you about strange noises and an attack. Proceed on mission and move forward. Eventually as you enter a structure you will hear Jun call out that he has detected movement. This is your cue to pull out your pistol. As you move along you'll come to a window overlooking a small grassy courtyard. On the roof of the building to the left, across from you, is a Skirmisher. He'll stand still for a few seconds, so use the opportunity to take him out with an easy pistol headshot. Now you know, The Covenant are on Reach. A few more Skirmishers will charge across the courtyard into the basement of your building. If you're quick, you can take out some of them with your pistol before they get inside. Stay where you are for now. Some Grunts will also start moving across the courtyard towards your building. Thin their ranks with pistol headshots. Take note of the large red fuel tank in the courtyard. These explode very powerfully if shot enough and are found throughout the game, so make use of them. If the cap is blasted off the top of these tanks they become powerful time bombs that will detonate after around five seconds. Head down into the basement to deal with the Skirmishers that made it inside. They are extremely fast, just as agile, and good shots with their weapons. Get some cover and use your pistol and grenades to deal with them. Head outside. Two Grunts will wander across your field of fire on your left as you move down the slope. You should have no trouble taking them out. A Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit will drop reinforcements across the river, a mixture of Grunts and Skirmishers. Use your pistol for headshots and toss some grenades to clear them out. You and your team will make short work of this group. Take a moment here and reload. Pull out your Assault Rifle before you continue. You will want a Plasma Pistol instead of the Assault Rifle on Legendary, so swap out for one. Run across the river and take out the Grunts that are visible. Now things get tough; it's your first encounter with Sangheili|Elites, and unfortunately for you they are high rank and not pushovers. Expect four Ultra Elites, accompanied by a General. They are much faster than you are and their shields are over triple (quadruple on Legendary) the strength of your own. Stay back and let your squad weaken the shields on the Elites. Use the overcharge shot on the plasma pistol to help out. Once the shields drop, use your pistol to headshot them. Once you've mopped up this area, reload and get ready for part two. Rebels Don't Leave Plasma Burns (Rally Point Alpha) OK, you've handled the first part well enough, but now comes the hard part. Run down the hillside until you reach the Spade|Spade flatbed truck. This is important. ALWAYS DRIVE THE VEHICLES!!!!! You may really want the turret, and if you're playing coop, that's fine, but the AI cannot drive. On Legendary it is suicide to let the AI drive the vehicles, on any level. So hop in the drivers seat, Carter-A259|Carter will man the passenger seat and Jorge-052|Jorge will get the flatbed (he's his own turret). Now drive fast, you could go all tourist and stop to kill every Covenant you see, but why bother, leave the sightseeing, and achievement getting for later, on perhaps a different difficulty setting. For now, conserve your ammo and keep going. Once you reach the bottom you will see a bridge leading to several buildings. Again, for achievement hunters, or those gunning for points cross the bridge. If your not interested in that right now, and your just looking to get done and get your shield, go right past the bridge, up the hill. For those who are interested, go over the bridge, and engage. The most effective methods are the drive and retreat (drive in and let your AIs shoot until your shields are down, then retreat until they come back up) and the figure 8 drive in the middle. Both are risky, as a single overcharged plasma bolt will leave your vehicle dead and you along with it not soon after. If you complete this area head north to the river. Your location will be different from the rest of this section, but the enemy strengths will be the same. Once you're up the hill, keep following the road until you reach a bunker in the hill. There will be a few troopers here to assist you (or you're arriving here to assist them, take your pick). Find the one with the M392 Designated Marksman Rifle and swap your Assault Rifle for it. Head into the Bunker and ammo up your DMR (there will be a DMR on the floor). Now find a good position for the coming assault. There will be two waves. One with Grunt Majors and an Elite Major. One with Unggoy Ultra|Grunt Ultras an Elite Ultra and a few Jackal Majors thrown in for good measure. Use your pistol and clear out the grunts and as many Jackals as you can. You are going to need to displace often, because the Elites will target you. Once you are down to the Elites, your squad mates will make short work of their shields, letting you get the kill shot with the DMR. If you're forced to take on the Elites early, know that the DMR is powerful, but aim for the body to drop the shields. It's a bigger target, and with the movement from the Ultra your going to need all the help you can. Once the shields are down, you can headshot and get a solid kill. Once these enemies have been dealt with, a Falcon will arrive. Hop in and take a break. Skeleton Crew (Rally Point Bravo) Break's over. Hop out of the Falcon. Clear out the remaining enemies here, head up the stairs on the side of the building and load up on ammo, if you head further down, you'll see an entrance to the building and an armor lockup. Grab it and hop down. This next part is pointless and a waste of time, but you have to do it anyway. Run in to where Catherine-B320|Kat is working, peek out and kill anything that gets in close, but nothing will, because it's not scripted to. You just have to prevent yourself from being killed here. Don't expose yourself, and pick off whatever comes into your line of sight. If you do choose to engage stick to the building on the right of the door, it will provide you with significant cover from the Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit's cannon fire. There will be 2-3 waves of Covenant, Grunts, Jackals, Skirmishers, and a few Elites. Right after you get the notification that Kat has completed her hack two Banshees will fly by and bomb the door. Watch out for them! They're often not noticed because the ground action is so hectic. Wait until they attack before you run inside if you engaged outside, those Fuel Rods hurt and will one hit kill you on Heroic or higher. Once the door closes, head inside. You'll trigger another cutscene. Presto chango, you're back in the fight. Swap your pistol for a DMR on the wall and watch out. Many Grunts and Jackals will advance, while a Sangheili Zealot|Zealot with a Elo'Nakada-pattern concussion rifle|Concussion Rifle sits back and launches an endless barrage at you. Note that on the right side of the room there are three fuel tanks. Blow the lids off of them with the DMR for explosive results that should take care of the cannon fodder. Concentrate on the Zealot. Only break off the attack to reload or recharge your shields if required. Kill him quickly or he'll run away and the next part of the level gets that much harder. Keep picking away at him with the DMR. It should take around a magazine to drop him if you don't miss. Once he's down, advance and use grenades in the hallway to clear the remaining Grunts and Jackals. Reload, and head into the next area. It is populated with Grunts and another Zealot with an Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Sword, and he's a lot craftier than his friend was. Once the Grunts are cleared he will charge quickly but steady fire from you and the DMR and Assault Rifle (don't stop to reload, just switch weapons) should slow him down enough for you to either drop his shield and peg him with a grenade, or headshot him. Since he will usually make a beeline straight for you once you've got his attention, sticking him with a grenade is very effective and should deplete most of his shield. Melee is very dangerous because of the Sword. If you need it, the drop off area below you contains an M45 Tactical Shotgun and a Drop Shield (which you can use to help defend yourself and regenerate health). Once you've killed him, go and activate the panel on the wall to trigger the cutscene and move on to the next mission. Legendary Notes Know your weapons. While new weapons like the DMR and Type-31 Rifle|Needle Rifle are new and shiny, your old standbys still work. Before you head in, realize the same strengths and weaknesses that got you through the previous Halo games still apply here. When facing the Elites it is best to find a strategy that is comfortable for you, and make that strategy work against the Jackals and Grunts. If you are best with an overcharged plasma pistol and DMR, or the Assault Rifle and Needler, make it work for you. Watch out for the Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirits. They will kill you faster than any ground Covenant forces. Achievements are best tackled on lower difficulties, when ammo is not as crucial and health not as easily lost. Your Squad is extremely Helpful. Let them do most of the heavy lifting here. Mop up after, but don't get used to it. After this your squad is going to need you more than you need them. Your Pistol is your best friend. It will clear out Skirmishers and most Grunts with a headshot. You can kill everything else that isn't an Elite with two shots or less. Take your time, be accurate and kill swiftly. Good Skulls here are Famine, Catch and Cloud. Most of your weapons are in racks so they'll be full or close to it, all of your enemies are in front of you so you don't need a motion sensor, and everyone loves more grenades so add catch since majority of the fighting takes place in rather open environments. Notes for Lower Difficulties Test out new weapons to see what works for you. You may prefer the Needle rifle to the DMR or the Plasma pistol to the Magnum. Take your time and clear each area of enemies before moving on. You will learn valuable skills on this level as it contains a little piece of everything you are going to encounter, from open spaces requiring ranged weapons to tight spaces needing close in weapons. Grenades are your friends, unless the Covenant are throwing them at you. External links Category:Halo: Reach walkthroughs

''Winter''-class prowlers commonly monitor former member species of the Covenant and human insurrectionists, precautionary measures taken by the Office of Naval Intelligence to ensure humanity's safety. Ships of the class are typically designated with the hull classification symbol PRO, though those that receive the prototypical upgrades have the IX hull code, denoting an "Unclassified Miscellaneous Unit". Design details File:Halo 5 - IX-455.jpg|thumb|250px|left|''Acrisius'' escapes the doomed Argent Moon. Somewhat similar in functionality and design to the s used by the Office of Naval Intelligence in the early 26th century, prowlers of the ''Winter'' class are constructed with a smaller and more compact frame than other prowler classes. With an aerodynamic frame, swooped back wings, and narrow cockpit, ''Winter''-class prowlers bear resemblance to a number of UNSC space fighters rather than a warship. However, its design is intended to improve speed and versatility during atmospheric operations. The ''Winter''-class is equipped with an experimental set of three fusion drives, which are only distantly related to their mainline UNSC counterparts. These utilize new Baffler technologies and control software, and are so advanced only ONI technicians are qualified to maintain them. Some examples of the class, such as the ONI Acrisius|ONI ''Acrisius'', are fitted with a prototypical slipspace drive. This allows these select few craft to travel to distant parts of the Milky Way at a relatively high speed, monitoring the ex-Covenant races and human Insurrectionists for signs of trouble. Five personnel are enough to optimally crew each ''Winter''-class, with each being reserved a station in the prowler's bridge; a Commander, a Pilot|navigator, a technician, a tactical director and surveillance controller. However, only the first two are required to operate one of these vessels, with the latter three spots only being filled during infiltration missions. Nevertheless, each individual is highly skilled, with the Commander receiving specialized training on concealment and deception. This is because each person has been sourced from the so-called "Prowler Corps", whose traditions and secrets separate them from the rest of ONI, and indeed, the rest of the UNSC. A maximum of twenty passengers can be carried by the prowler. These can include remote strike teams, which are deployed with high-yield nuclear warheads close to heavily-fortified invasion beachheads and staging areas - an operation which many rarely survive. For other missions, covert field teams could be carried which can be ordered to redirect enemy attention away from the prowler, should they get close to discovering the vessel. Like every other model of prowler, the ''Winter''-class is only equipped with a modest arsenal of weapons. The most powerful of its armaments is its aft-mounted M1011 Moray space mine|CBU-R68 Moray mine rack, which deploys Space mine|potent explosives with small chemical propellants that allow them to maintain specific coordinates in space. This allows the ''Winter''-class to act as a minelayer, covertly creating minefields to inflict casualties on unsuspecting Covenant fleets. Two Machine-linked autocannon|M8545 40mm coilguns and three M995 Backstop point defense laser|M995 Backstop lasers are fitted for purely defensive purposes. While not truly invisible to Covenant sensors, the ''Winter''-class is outfitted with an impressive suite of cloaking technologies designed to distort their emissions and sensor profile. This allows these ships to trick Covenant sensors into identifying the ''Winter''-class as a low-threat vessel, wreckage, or even a friendly ship. While it utilizes the best jamming systems available to ONI, most of its success can be attributed to its low observable design and passive stealth features. This includes metamaterials embedded in the prowler's hull plating to break up its thermal emissions, programmable optical camouflage coating and heat sinks to prevent the release of said emissions. During the post-war era, these systems were further enhanced with the integration of active camouflage systems and emission distortion grids. This addition allows these modified ships to evade all but the most comprehensive detection techniques and sensor networks. Remote drone networks can also be deployed to divert attention away from the ship itself. All this is supplemented by a cutting-edge Hyperscanner sensor array, along with threat warning and tracking systems systems derived from analysis and repurposing of Covenant technology. Should it somehow be detected, the ''Winter''-class has one last defense in the form of three pop-up turrets, one directly behind the cockpit and two on the wings. Each of these contain two anti-missile Pulse laser turret|pulse lasers and an electronic warfare countermeasures dispenser. This dispenser can release a variety of consumables from heat sinks to deception jammers to mislead enemy sensors and break target locks. Operational history In the years following the Human-Covenant War, the Office of Naval Intelligence reviewed a number of pre2525 prowler class designs which focused on espionage and reconnaissance over combat functionality. As a result, the ''Winter''-class prowlers arose from this study, coming into service with Naval Intelligence in 2549. On 2558#January|January 21, 2558, ''Winter''-class prowler deployed SPARTAN-G059 to New Llanelli to Assassination of Avu Med 'Telcam|assassinate Avu Med 'Telcam, leader of the Servants of the Abiding Truth. Afterwards, the prowler extracted the Spartan and left to participate in another operation. The Spartan-IIs of Gray Team now operate out of the ''Winter''-class prowler . Another Prowler, the was dispatched by Intrepid Eye to take Papa-10 and Lieutenant Bartalan Craddog to Meridian to retrieve the organs of the Tuwa family during Operation: RETRIBUTION. However, the mission failed and both Papa-10 and Craddog were killed. One ''Winter''-class prowlerthe ONI Acrisius|ONI ''Acrisius''was stationed aboard research vessel ''Argent Moon'' as an evacuation vessel for its ONI personnel. However, the crew of ''Argent Moon'' were all killed in asteroidea merozoite|a bioweapon accident in 2557. When Spartan-II Blue Team traveled to ''Argent Moon'' to prevent ONI intelligence from falling into the hands of Jul 'Mdama's Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant, the Spartans used ''Acrisius'' to evacuate ''Argent Moon'' after they overloaded its reactors as their Pelican had been destroyed. The ship was eventually abandoned by the Spartans on the Outer Colony of Meridian, when they traveled to the world to search for Cortana and instead left on a Guardian. Ships of the line ONI Acrisius|ONI ''Acrisius'' (IX-455) Stationed at Argent Moon as an evacuation vessel. - Stationed at Argent Moon. Deployed on covert Office of Naval Intelligence operations.

Either was more honorable than returning without it as it often meant they discarded it to run faster while fleeing the battlefield.

|symmetry= |playernumber=2-8 |gametypes=*Slayer Oddball |pagegamelabel=CE }} }} Wizard is a multiplayer map in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.''Halo: Combat Evolved'' It was remade as ''Warlock'' for ''Halo 2''. Summary ''Wizard'' is a symmetrical map in a circular shape. It is a UNSC structure visually similar to the interior of the and, given the presence of Threshold in the sky, may be located on the ship. There are two bases at opposite ends, a fair distance apart. Directly ahead of each base is a small platform, which contains the Type-33 needler|needler and the Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|plasma rifle. You can also get on the platform by climbing and ascending the ramp. Then, if you jump, there is a central platform which contains two M7057 flamethrower|flamethrowers in the PC Edition. Each flag is protected by a slab of stone. To the right and left of the circular platform, there is an active camo, which is on the slab of stone, and an overshield, which is behind the slab. Next to each flag, right above the ladder, there is a health pack. Below each base and between the platform next to the base, there are four grenades, either M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenades or Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenades, depending on the base. Strategies File:Wizard.jpg|thumb|The Unreal Tournament 2004 mod shot of Wizard. If you have the enemy flag, the fastest way to get to the other base is to jump off the base, go towards the nearest teleporter (to your right) and emerge through the other end. Then, don't go on the ramp-that will expose you to enemy fire. Alternatively, go towards the place with the grenades, climb the ladder, and score! A counter-method of this is to simply guard the teleporters (aka camp). As with Prisoner, shotgun/no shields mode is considered the best (preferably Oddball or Slayer). You do not require skill to kill someone before they kill you, due to the one-hit-kill for M90 shotgun|shotguns. When playing a game with M41 SPNKR|Rockets, things can get pretty chaotic. Try to get behind a pillar and jump between pillars while firing through the gaps. The rocket launcher has a pretty big blast radius so it won't matter if you're not the greatest shot. You'll have a great view of everyone from the middle, but you can be surrounded from all sides. There will probably be someone waiting for you above the ladder you're climbing if you don't die when your climbing it. Using the teleporters won't do you a huge amount of favors on this map due to huge amount of grenade spammers in this map. On Halo PC, try to grab the flamethrower in the middle as fast as possible. Whoever has it will be able to dominate with ease. Try to get the Active Camo in the center, then run and kill as many other players as you can before it runs out. Due to the close-quarters of the level, grenades and other explosives are useful. The overshield and active camo spawn on all sides of this map. Try to have both at the same time and prevent other players from ever grabbing the power ups. Remember, with an overshield, you will almost always have the advantage in a 1-on-1 scenario (Unless the opponent is an experienced player or has a power weapon). It is possible to grenade jump onto the window ledges if done from where the overshields or active camos sit. Gallery File:HMCC HCE Wizard Map.png|Wizard Map. File:Over1.jpg|The overshield.

Unknown: Um. CJ Markham: Well, I'll be lying if I said I didn't come here for Halo. Neill Harrison: We're the only studio in the world trying to do something quite as crazy as what we're trying to do, in that we've brought all these people from around the world who had never worked together before. Put them all together in one giant room and give them one of the world's biggest gaming franchises and told them to go make it. And I guess I kinda heard about that, I thought that's crazy, I want to be part of it. Bonnie Ross: For me, it's all about the ending of Halo 3.I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to change the fate of Master Chief. Joe Waters: Everybody here likes Halo. A lot of people like it a lot. Tom French: I remember taking two days out of work to play Halo 1.

Maggie Oh: I came from Future Animations, so to move to games seem to be the perfect fit. Neill Harrison: Everyone comes here from successful careers somewhere else. Sotaro Tojima: When I talked to the art director, Kenneth Scott, I asked him why I would work here, and he immediately answered : for the team. Kenneth Scott: As exciting as the Halo universe can be for someone who's a big fan of monsters, big fan of science fiction, big fan of FPSs, it was really people that I got excited about working with. Kynan Pearson: I love Halo, I always wanted to work on it, but to be honest, like, whenever I found out the sparkles working here, I was in. Nicolas Bouvier: It's a fact that sci-fi is close to being a way of life to a certain degree, but I didn't need much time to actually say yes. Sotaro Tojima: Our job is not the same as previous Halo. R.J. Ranola: They let us explore, they are very open to suggestions. Patrick Gillette: There's always opportunity to create. Kenneth Scott: We really built a team that I want to work with for the rest of my life. Vic DeLeon: Best team I've ever worked with.

Frank O'Connor: I love Halo and I love the stories and the world we've built and I think with all the new technology and techniques that we have at our disposal, I think we have a great opportunity to tell really good stories and really dramatically improve the way to Halo 4. Armando Troisi: When I leave here at night, I'm really jazzed. Patrick Gillette: You know how hard you would judge someone else in the same situation and so you kinda go "okay". Tom French: It just inspires me to do bigger and better things. Lani Blazier: It's a little surreal at first, and it's definitely scary, 'cause it's like "no pressure or anything" ! Nicole Makila: There's definitely a requirement to hit the ground running. Hoop Somuah: It's a challenge. It's an exciting challenge. Joe Waters: We're getting there. More to do, but we're getting there. Armando Troisi: It's like being part of NASA, launching a rocket to the moon. CJ Markham: Moving forward, people won't come here just to work on Halo, they will come to work for 343. Neill Harrison: We're working very hard to finish Halo 4, but on longer term, we have inspirations to because the best game studio in the world, and I think that is essentially what we're constantly working toward and aiming toward. I think that's what drives all of us to our success. MICROSOFTJOBS-343.COM Armando Troisi: Was that all right ? Interviewer: Yeah, that's all we need. Armando Troisi: Okay, sweet.

It participated in the Battle of Seoba in 2526#|March 2526, but was destroyed by SPARTAN-II program|Spartans as it attempted to recover UNSC Starry Night|a downed UNSC prowler. Design details The ''Worthy Silence'' was shaped like a pair of teardrops connected by a thin center fuselage, lined with rows of blue lights. On the underside of the vessel was a hangar with a hatch large enough to admit a . The corvette was equipped with a single anti-ship Plasma cannon (starship)|plasma cannon, and a gravity lift that could be used to move troops and equipment.. Being an intrusion corvette, the ''Sacred Whisper'' featured an advanced active camouflage system. Working in tandem with this system, the vessel's specialized repulsor engines would let out only a small amount of thermal emissions, such that any thermal scopes could pick up only a momentary red flare from the vessel during takeoff. History As they scouted the human Human colonies|colony of Amasa in early 2526, Sangheili First Blade officer|First Blade Tel 'Szatulai's squad of Silent Shadow was approached by a courier representing the United Rebel Front. They were offered information on the United Nations Space Command in exchange for the insurrectionists' survival. 'Szatulai took this information to Fleetmaster Nizat 'Kvarosee of the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience, who instructed the warrior to accept their offer of a meeting on Biko's third Natural intelligence|moon of Seoba, with the intent to gather what information he could. However, once these rebels outlived their usefulness to the Covenant, they should be destroyed. To carry out this mission, 'Szatulai took the ''Worthy Silence'' and the other four intrusion corvettes of the Bloodstar Flotilla to the Kolaqoa system, commanding the small force from aboard the ''Sacred Whisper''. On 2526#March|March 19, 2526, the Bloodstar Flotilla arrived in high orbit over Biko without the planet's Chancellor's Guards|defense force noticing. Despite the intrusion corvettes' active camouflage, the UNSC Task Force Yama|force that had just Battle of Seoba|captured the rebels' Seoba Ice Quarry|ice quarry base on Seoba detected the incoming flotilla and began to deploy its prowlers. However, none of the corvettes' sensors could pick out anything that suggested that human stealth vessels were leaving Seoba. Aboard the ''Sacred Whisper'', 'Szatulai was able to notice their departure with his own eyes and he reported it to Hulon 'Budyasee|the vessel's shipmaster. Despite double-checking that the instruments were not faulty, he was certain that human vessels were indeed rising from the ice quarry that was their intended meeting location. As such, the First Blade ordered the corvettes to fire on the quarry, despite the extreme range and lack of vessels to target. The shipmaster of the ''Worthy Silence'' complied and began bombarding the quarry along with the rest of the flotilla. 'Szatulai's hope was that they would get lucky and manage to down one of the stealth vessels so that it could be studied. The barrage successfully downed the , the flagship of the human task force. Impacting the quarry wall, the prowler's fuselage was heavily damaged and an avalanche was caused, resulting in the prowler coming to a rest atop a massive ice pile. Realizing that the barrage had yielded the desired results, 'Szatulai ordered the flotilla to move in to recover the disabled stealth vessel, all while fending off the other human ships. As the corvettes approached the quarry, they detected Emmeline|a single transport take off from Subsurface Maintenance Grotto 6M430|a maintenance grotto. All five corvettes fired on the vessel as it fled toward Biko. The ''Worthy Silence'' reached the crash site before the others, deploying multiple s and Extra-vehicular activity|EVA-equipped Sangheili, Jiralhanae, and Kig-Yar warriors via its gravity lift to secure the wreck. Before it could be recovered, a team of twelve SPARTAN-II program|Spartans arrived and contested them. While the corvette and its Ghosts started firing on the supersoldiers, a second intrusion corvette arrived to assist. With the tide clearly turning in favor of the Bloodstars, the Spartans were forced to restart the avalanche with their M301 grenade launcher|grenade launchers, burying half of them in the ice, but also delaying the ''Worthy Silence'' by knocking the prowler to the quarry floor. As the Bloodstars fought the Spartans for control of the ''Starry Night'', two more of the intrusion corvettes approached to harass the supersoldiers. Despite this, the humans gained access to the prowler and its Nuclear weapon|nuclear self-destruct system, and a strafing run from the task force destroyed two of the flotilla's corvettes and chased off a third. The ''Worthy Silence'', however, was left unscathed because Hector Nyeto|the current commander of the task force was secretly an insurrectionist and was trying to get the Spartans killed. After the Spartans fended off another Bloodstar boarding party, the ''Worthy Silence'' began slowly lifting the prowler into its hangar bay with its gravity lift. This was done too late as the team inside the prowler had already armed the Fury tactical nuclear weapon|nuke and fled in an escape pod. The gunners manning the corvette's point-defense turrets attempted to destroy the lifeboat, but were caught off-guard and missed their shots. Ultimately, the effort was in vain anyway as the nuke's explosion pulverized both the ''Starry Night'' and the ''Worthy Silence'', with the forward fuselage of the latter crashing to the quarry floor. After the battle, members of Task Force Yama combed through the wreckage of the ''Worthy Silence'' for any salvageable technology. They discovered its ''kelguid'' on the bridge and carefully cut it out of the deck, taking it to the for Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey to examine. Following the UNSC's successful Battle over Etalan|counterattack on the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience's supply convoy at Etalan, Fleetmaster 'Kvarosee called for another convoy to be sent from Zhoist. When Tel 'Szatulai was informed of this, he worriedly informed the fleetmaster that the humans had recovered the ''kelguid'' from the ''Worthy Silence'', believing that it could be used to determine the location of Zhoist. Despite the Minor Minister of Artifact Survey's worry that the UNSC could utilize the ''kelguid'' to find High Charity, 'Kvarosee and 'Szatulai agreed that Zhoist was a significantly more likely target. As such, the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience and the Bloodstar Flotilla fell back to defend the key supply world.

This Marine fought and was injured in the Battle of Mombasa on 2552#October|October 20, 2552. He was part of the UNSC Marine Corps unit deployed to the Uplift Nature Reserve near the site of the gravity lift landing zone of the Prophet of Regret's Solemn Penance|assault carrier. During the battle, his ankle was broken, which drove him mad. He was treated by Private First Class Chips Dubbo behind a ledge where a group of other Marines were taking cover.Halo 3: ODST, campaign level ''Uplift Reserve'' In-game The wounded Marine can be found in the ''Halo 3: ODST'' campaign level ''Uplift Reserve''. His presence is a nod to a pair of Paranoid Marine|similarly distraught Suicidal Marine|Marines in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 3''. Unlike his forebears, this Marine is worried about the Covenant instead of the Flood, a theme continued by his ''Halo: Reach'' Shell-shocked Army trooper|counterpart. Crazed Marine: "No, no, no! You're not listening! It's a zoo, okay?" Dubbo: "Well, technically it's a corporate-funded wildlife reserve." Crazed Marine: "Semantics! This whole place is one... big... cage!" Dubbo: "Listen, Marine. You're wounded; you need to try and relax." Crazed Marine: "Except we, we're the zebras. All fenced in... and ready for the slaughter!" Dubbo: "And the Covenant?" Crazed Marine: "They're the lions... RAAAWR!" Dubbo: "Careful. I think you just strained a metaphor." Crazed Marine: "Oh, oh God, oh God! Is that... serious?" Dubbo: "Only if you keep it up."

Wraith Hunter is an achievement in ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'' and ''Halo: The Master Chief Collection''. It is awarded for destroying four Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths with the M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion on the campaign level ''Assault on the Control Room''. The achievement is worth 10 Gamerscore. Method Run past the first Wraith, and take the Scorpion. The Wraith should follow the player to the Pelican crash site, so destroy it. The second and third one are in front of the entrance to the first underground tunnel, and the third one might take a while to destroy due its higher position. The fourth one is located on the frozen lake, right after exiting the underground tunnel, and before meeting up with Stacker and his Marines, so the achievement should be rewarded the moment the player destroys the fourth one. Trivia In both name and requirement, this achievement is similar to the achievement "Wraith Killer" in ''Halo 3: ODST''. Originally on ''Halo Waypoint'' the achievement image erroneously appeared similar to the I'll Be Taking That! achievement, except that the Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshee in the medal has been replaced by a number "1" in a yellow circle. It was also described to be awarded when the player destroys 3 Wraiths without a chosen weapon. This was rectified in February 2012.

Wraith Killer is an Achievement in ''Halo 3: ODST''. It is awarded for destroying all Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths on the Campaign level Uplift Reserve. It is worth 5 Gamerscore.http://www.gruntsrus.com/news.php?readmore=478 The player himself must kill all six Wraiths present in the level, as any Wraiths destroyed by any other means do not count, and effectively require the player to redo the level if he or she wants to get the achievement. The exception to this is that the player will get credit if the NPC that killed the wraith is in a vehicle the player is driving. In a co-op game, only the player that got the kill will get credit toward the achievement. This achievement is represented by a Bronze Cross with a Wraith Tank in front of it. Methods The player will automatically start off with a Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle|Spartan Laser. Trade that weapon with a UNSC Marine Corps|Marine and have that Marine ride shotgun in your M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog. This Marine combined with your gunner will allow the Wraiths to be destroyed much faster and easier. If the Marine with the Spartan Laser dies, simply pick up the Spartan Laser and employ the same trick again. There is also a Marine already equipped with a Spartan Laser at the second platoon's location. Another viable method is to equip a Marine with a Fuel Rod Gun, or any other anti-vehicle weapon.

His empty Wraith cannot be driven. Killing one will give the team 25 VP, and earn the player a Boss Takedown medal. The gunner of the Wraith is an Elite Commander, while the Officer himself is a red Elite Warrior. It can be assumed that the title is below that of the Wraith Captain.

|affiliation=Banished |authority= |branch=Kaepra's Grief |mission=Wraith commander |role= |size= |notable=Ordo 'Mal |othernames= }} Wraithmaster is a title given only to the most accomplished Sangheili Wraith pilots in the Banished military. Overview The title of Wraithmaster is a title that is only given to those within the Banished that display impressive skill in combat behind the controls of a Eklon'Dal Workshop Wraith. On the battlefield, a Wraithmaster may be seen leading a lance of Banished infantry from their Wraith. History At least one Wraithmaster, the veteran Sangheili named Ordo 'Mal, served within Escharum's forces during the Battle for Zeta Halo|battle for Installation 07 in early 2560. Ordo 'Mal had fought on the side of the Covenant over the course of the Human-Covenant War, earning a name for himself as a feared Wraith pilot. He was responsible for at least 654 UNSC deaths during the war, a kill count that would never be rivalled any other Wraith pilot in the Covenant. Following the war, Ordo 'Mal became a mercenary, leading a network of feudal raid lances from his keep. After the Blooding Years began to wane, Atriox recruited him into the Banished. In the years since, his kill count rose to over 1,200, with many of those kills earned during the Banished's Siege of Palghanar. 'Mal found favor with War Chief Escharum, which led to him being granted the title of Wraithmaster. However, Ordo 'Mal's success would come to an end during the Installation 07 conflict, where he was killed by Spartan-II John-117.

|weight= |features= }} WRATH-class Mjolnir is a variant of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|MJOLNIR [GEN2] armor based on the Mark V EVA-class Mjolnir|EVA variant of the first-generation Mjolnir. Overview Based on requests of veteran Spartan-II and Spartan-III operatives, the UNSC Ordnance Commission considered reassessing a refined and upgraded suit of the Mark V EVA variant. This led to the creation of the Wrath variant, which is more specifically a recreation of the custom armor set worn by Emile-A239, member of NOBLE Team. Formally an upgrade of existing Mark V EVA suits, the WRATH project was actually a cover to develop a new Mjolnir variant specifically tailored to the needs of future Headhunters|Headhunter teams. The Spartan Operations contract for WRATH helmets was exceedingly specific regarding the pattern and method of reproduction for the death's head engraving on the visor. In-game information Wrath was introduced as an Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutation in ''Halo 5: Guardians'', during the Memories of Reach update. The helmet and body armor are unlockable as Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor permutations through the Requisition system.
