CYPHER-class Mjolnir is a MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor variant designed by Imbrium Machine Complex.
Overview
Supposedly a pilot program, industrial espionage revealed the CYPHER actually entered mass production in early 2557. This discrepancy has prompted ONI to begin probing IMC's shadowy Io Design Lab. Regardless this suit is not even the most secret of the Io Design Lab's products.
Spartan Tom-B292 used the helmet of this armor in 2558.
In-game information
Cypher was first introduced as an Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|armor set in ''Halo 5: Guardians''. The suit is not a fully-original design, and employs several ''Halo 4'' armor pieces including the SCOUT-class Mjolnir|Scout shoulders, Inner-plated forearms and Outer-plated legs. The Cypher set has two alternate skin designs; Copiale and Voynich.

File:FUD - Cytoprethaline Injector.jpg|thumb|225px|A cytoprethaline injector in-use.
Cytoprethaline is a cellular anti-crystalline drug designed for humans in Cryo chamber|cryo-sleep. Within the Unified Earth Government, cytoprethaline is an Wikipedia:Prescription drug|Rx-only drug; legal only through a medical prescription.
Medical uses Cytoprethaline prevents damage to cell membranes from ice crystal formation. It is usually injected, recommended by a doctor, but usually by a medic or a pre-measured self-injector.Halo Encyclopedia (2009 edition), ''page 216'' (2009 edition); ''page 226'' (2011 edition) The injection of cytoprethaline is routed into the Wikipedia:Subcutaneous tissue|subcutaneous tissue. Cytoprethaline was developed around the same time that cryonics became commonplace due to interstellar travel, to account for the dangers of low temperatures in cryo-sleep. Cryo-sleep is almost always fatal without the use of cytoprethaline. The only exceptions is SPARTAN-IIs where they can head straight to cryo-sleep without Cytoprethaline due to their augmentations.
Allergic reactions However, 1 in 50,000 people exhibit an allergic reaction to this drug; those that do are disqualified from United Nations Space Command|UNSC service or discharged if discovered after entering training, but can still serve in civilian roles attached to the UNSC. Thomas Lasky is one of the few people to be diagnosed with this allergy, which was to be grounds for his discharge from Corbulo Academy of Military Science; however, the school was attacked by the Covenant before Lasky was shipped out.
An allergic reaction to cytoprethaline results in blistering, peeling, or red skin rashes. Itching or hives, as well as swelling in the face, hands, or feet are other common allergic reactions. Swelling, or at least tingling, can also occur in throat or mouth. Trouble breathing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, cold sweat, and bluish-colored skin are common, severe results from a cytoprethaline allergic reaction. Sudden or severe headaches, or dizziness or problems with speech or with walking are other reactions.

Cote d'Azur''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', page 160 was a coastal city that was the main population center of Sigma Octanus IV, a human colony world in FLEETCOM Sector Three. The population of Cote D'Azur was estimated to be 300,000, nearly all of whom were killed during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV.
Overview Cote d'Azur's citizens grew list of food and drinks|rice paddies outside of the city. The main sections on the latter interior of Cote d'Azur were the wharf and bay areas, the residential section, the downtown, and the docks. Cote d'Azur had a sewer system under the city. The sewer systems had steel pipes running along the top of the plastic conduits. The sewer systems had a two meter diameter pipe, with a steel grate,''Halo: The Fall of Reach'', page 182 on the beach side near the edge of the city. The inhabitants used sodium vapor lamps, which washed everything above with an eerie glow.
History In the year 2552, the Covenant launched a small Battle of Sigma Octanus IV|attack against the Sigma Octanus system in hopes to retrieve a Forerunner Sigma Octanus IV artifact|artifact that was on display at the Cote d'Azur Museum of Natural History on Sigma Octanus IV's surface. When the Covenant invaded Cote d'Azur, they killed the entire population, save for twenty civilians (some of whom were wounded) who hid in a cargo ship. It is assumed that these twenty are the only to have survived.
The Covenant were in the process of securing the artifact and relaying messages to the ships above when the SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II Blue Team entered the city. Blue Team managed to retrieve the artifact, save the remaining civilians, and escape back to their D77-TC Pelican|Pelican Dropship. Upon entering the Pelican and exiting the atmosphere, John-117 detonated a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon underneath the city streets, which destroyed the city and prevented the Covenant from finding anything else of value. Sigma Octanus IV and the remnants of Cote d'Azur still remain under human control.
Trivia The city was probably named after the real Cote d'Azur, a region in the Wikipedia:French Riviera|French Riviera which translates as "Blue Coast".

The D102 Insertion Craft, commonly known as an Owl, is a stealth Dropship|insertion craft in service with the UNSC Navy following the Human-Covenant War.
Overview
The D102 was designed by the Office of Naval Intelligence and NAVSPECWAR as a possible successor to the long-running Pelican line of dropships, and was thus built with speed and stealth as major considerations. Despite being similar in operation, the Owl lacks the stealth coatings and countermeasures found on ONI subprowlers, but instead require far less specialised maintenance and operational training. The result is a craft much more suitable for widespread use across the United Nations Space Command than the or . Despite this, the Owl is considered to be stealth-capable, and is covered in a nanoblack biopolymer coating for this purpose, and features a cockpit made of Wikipedia:Aluminium oxynitride|aluminium oxynitride - a transparent aluminium ceramic that does not bend easily. Like most dropships, the Owl is hardened against electromagnetic pulses.
The D102 uses a double-cockpit design, with the co-pilot sat above and behind the pilot, with a bubble canopy covering each crewmember. The cockpits do not have any connection into the rear cargo bay. While transparent like glass, transparent aluminum is designed to withstand impacts from Covenant plasma cannons. One such canopy was strong enough to resist the efforts of a SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II wearing MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|MJOLNIR armor, though buckled and gave way under the combined efforts of two.
The crafts resemble a slightly smaller, lightly armored Pelican dropship, with the most notable difference being the Owl's cloud-gray finish and downward-curved wings. The Owl uses pivoting thrust nacelles to allow the craft to hover, and has a boarding ramp near its tail. The Owl's passenger cabin is cramped, with seats for a total of twenty passengers. Automatic crash harnesses ensure that passengers are safely secured within the Owl's seats. Aside from the ten inward-facing seats, the cabin contains a weapons locker at the forward bulkhead and enough space between the seats to hold at least two Mongoose (fiction)|Mongoose quad bikes. Owls have no artificial gravity, and do not have interior lighting during daytime operations.
Although intended for stealth, the Owl is equipped with a few weapons for defensive purposes. They include six internally-stocked Argent V missiles on two missile launchers, two Anvil-II air-to-surface missile pods and a single retractable M370 autocannon mounted in under the craft's chin.
Identified Owls
- Owl used during Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE.
- Owl attached to prowler , destroyed during Operation: WOLFE.
Operational history The Owl project was active in the Human-Covenant War, as a possible successor to the ubiquitous Pelican dropship series. However, delays and resource reallocation meant that the Owl was not accessible through standard production channels until 2550, with only a handful of units having access to it at this time.
Owls were used during the Gao conflict|conflict on the human Outer Colony of Gao. Admiral Tuwa's battle group attempted to reinforce the 717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion on the planet with Owls and Pelicans, but the crafts were attacked and either driven off or destroyed by the Gao Space Navy's fleet of patrol corvettes. An Owl, the , was later used to extract Blue Team, Veta Lopis, and Intrepid Eye|a Forerunner ancilla on the planet just before a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon destroyed Covert Support Base 4276|a local Forerunner installation.
Another Owl, the was used by Blue Team during Operation: WOLFE. During insertion, the ship was badly damaged while attempting to avoid a Seraph patrol and had to make a crash landing on the surface of Reach.

The D20 Heavy Lift Vehicle, colloquially known as the Heron is a United Nations Space Command atmospheric and space heavy-lift superheavy dropship.
Overview
The D20 Heron is very large and roughly square in shape, featuring a protruding area at the front of the ship which most likely serves as the bridge. The Heron features four tilt engines, two mounted on opposite sides of the ship, and four conventional, rear-mounted engines. The configuration allows for easy maneuverability in space, such as among debris fields. The Heron was originally intended to deploy the infrastructure required to begin and sustain humanity's colonization efforts such as the colony starter unit. The necessities of the Human-Covenant War forced the UNSC to re-purpose the craft for a logistical support role.
The D20 is capable of transporting and placing a prefabricated firebase "pod" - the military use variants of the civilian colony starter units - on a suitable landing zone designated by friendly ground forces. When deploying a firebase pod, a circular structure amidships spins clockwise, possibly unscrewing to detach the payload. The vessel is capable of operating in both atmosphere and vacuum. Up to ten Herons can be docked on the exterior of a Phoenix-class colony ship|''Phoenix''-class support vessel, with five being berthed on either side. The craft's unstreamlined nature has earned it the nickname "big brick" among UNSC personnel.
Operational history Following the departure of the and a hundred other colony ships in 2362, D20 Herons would be used by many colony ships during the period later referred to as the Domus Diaspora to establish functional infrastructure and an active presence on a new world.
The converted embarked ten D20 Herons 2531#Febuary|Febuary 2531. These dropships were used extensively to construct firebases on Harvest, Arcadia, and Trove in 2531#February|February 2531. During the Battle of Trove, a collision between ''Spirit of Fire'' and the Sinaris-pattern heavy destroyer|Covenant destroyer ''Proclamation's Tithe'' resulted in the destruction of all five of the human vessel's portside Herons. By the time ''Spirit of Fire'' arrived at Installation 00 in 2559#March|March 2559, the lost Herons had been replaced. However, the ship's crew primarily used D81-LRT Condors in place of the Herons for building firebases during the Second Ark Conflict; the Herons were instead used exclusively for mass deployment of cargo and troops in secured rear areas.

The Dropship 75-Troop Carrier, colloquially known as the Pelican, is a shuttlecraft utilised by the United Nations Space Command to transport troops and supplies. Capable to space-to-ground flight and vice versa, it was often used to ferry troops from starships to planetside battlefields, but could also be outfitted as a gunship or for reconnaissance missions.
Operational history The D75 model of Pelican had entered service some time before 2526.
Two D75 Pelicans were carried by the Razor-class prowler|''Razor''-class prowler in June 2526, during its mission to Netherop. At the command of Lieutenant Commander Amalea Petrov, one of these Pelicans, a D75-TC/r Pelican|D75-TC/r outfitted for reconnaissance, was launched with a three-person crew immediately upon the ''Night Watch''s arrival, to ascertain the strength of the Covenant naval presence, and determine whether a dropship would be able to make landfall at all. It was shot down by a previously-undetected Covenant stealth vessel shortly before entering the planet's tropopause. Following its destruction, Petrov resolved to insert Blue Force with the ''Night Watch'' itself rather than risk loading them aboard the prowler's second Pelican. Instead, she launched the remaining Pelican - this time a D75-TC/g Pelican|D75-TC/g gunship - as a decoy to draw fire away from the prowler during its descent. John-117 surmised that, given it only had its three-person crew on-board, Petrov did not expect it to survive insertion. The ploy allowed Petrov to deploy Blue Force within sixty kilometres of their target, Lucky Break|a downed Covenant frigate, but the Covenant had more available fighter craft than Petrov had expected, and so the ''Night Watch'' was brought down despite the decoy.''Halo: Oblivion - Chapter 7''
Variants At least two variants of the D75 Pelican exist.
A D75 Pelican variant nicknamed the "slash-r" outfitted with a special scouting package, used for reconnaissance missions.
A D75 Pelican variant nicknamed the "slash-g", which is furnished as a gunship. It is equipped with a ground support package including two wing-mounted miniguns and two belly-mounted cannon turrets.
Production notes In early drafts of ''Halo: Oblivion'', the D75-TC/g was originally named the D75 TC/s (for support). However, due to concerns that it could be mistaken for standing for surveillance and hence confused with the D75-TC/r reconnaissance variant, 343 Industries recommended that it be renamed to D75/g, for ground support. One instance of the name D75/s persisted in the final release of ''Oblivion'', at the start of chapter 7, having been missed in proof-reads of the book.

The D75-TC/g Pelican, nicknamed slash-g, is a gunship variant of the D75-TC Pelican, employed by the United Nations Space Command.
Overview
The slash-g Pelican is a D75-TC Pelican dropship, modified with a ground support package. The craft is armed with two wing-mounted rotary cannons and two belly-mounted cannons.
Operational history D75/g Pelicans were employed during the Human-Covenant War. In 2526, a D75-TC/g was carried by as it began a mission over the world of Netherop. To insert Blue Force - a combined unit consisting of Blue Team and First Platoon (Night Watch)|First Platoon - ''Night Watch'' deployed its D75/g with the intent of using it as a decoy to allow the prowler to slip into Netherop's atmosphere undetected, at the cost of the gunship's crew.

The D77-TC Pelican (Formal classification: Dropship 77 - Troop Carrier), commonly known as the Pelican, is an extremely versatile space-to-ground capable craft used by the United Nations Space Command, as well as being marketed toward law enforcement, security, corporate and civilian markets. In its role as a Dropship|tactical aerospace lifter, the Pelican is mainly for the pickup and transportation of personnel, vehicles and equipment, though some variants are capable of serving in the role of a gunship. The UNSC also uses Pelicans as civilian vehicles for quick evacuations.
The D77-TC has been in service for over fifty years, and is the primary tactical support aircraft of the UNSC. The Pelican serves a multi-role purpose; it is fully capable of atmospheric flight and can land almost anywhere without difficulty. The Pelican is also capable of limited spaceflight, which the UNSC uses as a primary way of delivering troops to the surface from orbit.
The Pelican's standard armament consists of one Class III externally powered projectile weapon at the fore of the vehicle, and one Class I gas-operated projectile weapon mounted at the rear, in the extended crew area. More heavily armed variants exist, and the Pelican can be converted to a gunship role with the addition of numerous and more powerful weaponry.
Design
The Pelican's primary armament consists of one or more nose-mounted projectile weapons, typically autocannons or machine guns. Commonly known as "chin guns" due to their placement, these weapons are controlled via an Integrated Helmet and Display Sight System (IHADSS), which links to the pilot's or co-pilot's heads-up display and allows them to target the gun by head movements. The Pelican's standard armament is a chin-mounted M370 autocannon, which is sometimes linked with another such weapon; the M370 fires 70mm high-explosive armor-piercing (HEAP) rounds as standard ammunition, with depleted-Uranium slugs also being an option. This replaced the older M340 autocannon that was common prior to 2525. Some Marine Corps Pelicans are armed with a single 70mm rotary machine gun instead of a chain gun.
In addition to its primary armament, the Pelican has four externally-mounted missile hardpoints, which typically hold twin pods of eight Anvil-II air-to-surface missiles. However, they can carry a variety of weapon systems or specialized equipment pods. A turret can be placed at the back of the cargo-bay to provide covering fire for embarking personnel, and can range from M247 machine gun|machine guns, to M460 automatic grenade launcher|grenade launchers, and even a M68 Gauss cannon|gauss cannon. While some weapons can be folded against the roof when not in use, others such as the AIE-486H machine gun can not.
The D77-TC Pelican, like most other UNSC aerospace vehicles, is fitted with a suite of countermeasures to warn the dropship of incoming attacks, break target locks, and mitigate the effects of electronic warfare. These include wide-spectrum flares, microdrone decoys, rainbow laser blinders, Radar|RADAR/LIDAR sensors, directional jammers, and "hard chop" guillotines on data processing modules that could be susceptible to cyber-intrusion agents. To prevent them from being easily taken out by electromagnetic pulses, the Pelican's electronic systems are hardened against such phenomena.
Pelicans utilize a Bussard Ramjet system that uses magnetic fields to attract hydrogen into two primary and two secondary articulated engine pods, creating fusion and in turn, rocket exhaust. While ideal for use in an atmospheric environment, they require a hydrogen reaction mass in order to operate in vacuum. The two main engines have four nacelles each, two on the bottom and two at the back. The aft engines being similar but lack a nacelle at the bottom. Because both modules are mounted on rotating blocks, they can redirect themselves from directing the thrust downwards to any direction required. A basic gravitics|gravitic control system is used in-atmosphere to supply further stability and supplementary lift. Although fully capable of orbital transit, the D77 is too small to be equipped with a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, and is thus incapable of slipspace travel.
File:HW2 Blitz Pelican Transport.png|left|thumb|UNSC Marines boarding a D77-TC. The Pelican is crewed by two personnel who occupy the cockpit at the front of the dropship. The pilot sits on the right side, with the electronics operator or gunner taking up the station on the left. All flight controls are a digital fly-by-light with no manual backups; an integral expert system optimizes stability and adjusts the thruster profiles under all regimes and cargo profiles. Unlike on the later D79-TC Pelican, the cockpit is only accessible from the cargo-bay. Motion trackers, Radar|RADAR/LIDAR sensors and a computerized mapping system allow the pilot to plan their way to nearby staging areas as well as to warn of incoming threats.
The cargo-bay, colloquially dubbed by Marines as the "blood tray", usually accommodates up to ten personnel in jumpseats, with a small overhead compartment for their weapons and equipment. Additional infantry can be carried standing up, and increased seating for ten more people can be installed in the center aisle. Otherwise, this space can be used to carry cargo pallets, casualty litters, or even small utility vehicles such as two M274 Mongoose|M274 Mongoose ULATV. The Pelican is also equipped with an onboard weapons locker, which can hold enough weapons and ammunition to arm thirty troopers.''Halo: Combat Evolved: Sybex Official Strategies & Secrets'' At least one pelican has been modified to act as a boarding craft for Operation: RED FLAG, which has enough room to ferry twenty-five SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs to their target, as well as carry the cutting gear needed to cut through the hull of a Covenant warship. Pelicans equipped for "soft-seal" Naval boarding|boarding actions have an extendable cover that folds down around the entrance to the troop bay. This configuration was refined during the last days of Operation: TREBUCHET.
The large aft overhang provides a magnetic and physical attachment point for additional cargo and ordnance. Possible payloads include a troop deployment pod, a single large vehicle such as an M808 Scorpion or M12 Warthog, or eight resupply canisters. It can also transport a deployable bridge, or a firebase component building. It is discouraged for pilots to transport objects in the clamp during orbital insertions, as it can complicate reentry.
Variants As the most ubiquitous Pelican model in service, the Pelican has seen extensive deployment and modification, and is widely marketed to police, security, corporate and civilian markets.
D77H-TCI Pelican A newer and nearly identical model of the regular D77-TC, except for a more angular frame, and it features a tandem pilot-seating configuration. D77C Pelican A civilian variant utilized by the law enforcement agencies on major urban areas.
*D77C-NMPD Pelican A specialized variant of the D77C and the D77H-TCI itself that was employed by the New Mombasa Police Department in Kenya, Africa, Earth. Air Force variant The version of the Pelican used by the UNSC Air Force features a few major differences from other variants of the aircraft. First, the cockpit layout resembles that of the newer D77H-TCI model with the co-pilot's station located behind and above the pilot rather than side-by-side. G77S Pelican Building upon the versatile foundation of the venerable D77 airframe, the G77S Pelican is an impressive gunship design cooked up by Isabel and the 's engineers to help turn the tide of battle against Banished forces on the Ark. The G77S Pelican Gunship boasts a powerful range of armaments, including top-mounted ANVIL missile pods, four payload hardpoints, a forward M370 chaingun turret, and multiple M41 Vulcan|12.7mm Vulcan cannons. D78-TC Pelican Although the D79-TC Pelican largely supplanted the D77 in post-war service, surviving hulls would be upgraded with improved avionics and thrusters, redesignated D78-TC and continuing to serve.

Service history
By the time of the Fall of Reach, D77-TC Pelicans were the most common airlift assets available to NOBLE Team and other Spartans at Reach, albeit UH-144 Falcons also being used for shot-top transport and air support. When the Covenant assaulted the planet, they were used to move critical assets the battlefronts across the human inner colony, and evacuate wounded and VIPs. Following the UNSC disastrous defeat and the glassing of Reach in 2552#August|August 30, 2552, many surviving Pelicans were drawn to the sister colony of Tribute, where they continue to fight against the Covenant forces there until the end of the Human-Covenant War.

D77 Pelicans are used by the UNSC to transport troops during their war with the Covenant. Trivia
A pelican is a seabird, in keeping with the UNSC's tradition of naming atmospheric vehicles after real animals, with the exceptions of the Cyclops and Gremlin, which are named after mythical creatures, and the GA-TL1 Longsword, B-65 Shortsword, FSS-1000 Sabre, and F-41 Broadsword which are named after bladed weapons. All Pelican dropships in ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' bear either the numbers E419 (''Echo 419'') or V933 (''Victor 933''). This was done to save resources during the development of the game. The Pelican shows clear inspiration from the ''UD4L Cheyenne'' dropship from the movie ''Wikipedia:Aliens|Aliens'', which list of references to Aliens in Halo|has inspired the ''Halo'' series in many ways. In ''Halo 2'' gameplay, players can see the insides of the Pelican's cockpit, but no pilots are inside, despite they can be heard in COMs. There is a glitch in the ''Halo 2'' level ''Metropolis'' where the player can ride in a Pelican. It will take the player out of the map, flip, and eject the player. If the player attempts to right the flipped Pelican, the script will read "Hold X to flip Banshee", because Bungie never intended for the Pelican to be operable by the player, and therefore did not make a unique message. The Pelican's in-game physics will make it impossible to correctly and permanently flip the Pelican, as it will always reposition itself in an upside-down position. In ''Halo: Reach'', the player can pilot a Pelican through Flyable Pelican and Phantom|an Easter egg. In ''Halo: Reach'', the inside screens show information on the Office of Naval Intelligence's SWORD Base. In ''Halo: Reach'', all Pelicans are registered as NOBLE Team assets, as they are all given the tag "NOBLE 48". Its name is a reference to the number 7.

The D77C Pelican (Formal classification: Dropship 77 Civilian), more commonly known as the Pelican, is a paramilitary dropship widely employed by several human civilian law enforcement agencies.
Overview The D77C Pelican is a paramilitary variant of the D77-TC Pelican employed by police forces in major urban areas. These chassis have most of their integrated weapon systems forgone, employ a surfeit of instrumentation to effect whatever their designated function might be. In most cases, these do include clusters of optical and sensory surveillance systems, such as sensors and scanning equipment, for the tracking and seizing of fugitives as well as addressing large-scale emergencies, or simply the capacity to safety and quickly transport personnel and equipment across large distances, as was for the Liang-Dortmund Corporation|Liang-Dortmund D79-TC Pelican|D79-TC Corp Pelican|Pelican used on Meridian. For situations such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks, riots or other strategic integrations which would require a heavily armored vehicle for airborne transportation, nothing comes close in utility to a Pelican.
The D80 Condor is the original version of the later Condor series of dropships, built on the D77C Pelican body.
Variants There is a growing number of civilian variants of the Pelican utilized by authorized corporations and local National government|government agencies, including the New Mombasa Police Department. D77C-NMPD Pelican The New Mombasa Police Department employed their own specialized version of the D77C dropship and bears similarities to the UNSC's D77H-TCI Pelican dropship based on very few modifications have been made to the D77C over the existing D77H model, beyond the superficial color scheme and minor chassis alterations. This variant was painted in white and black, with the front-mounted M370 autocannon replaced with a searchlight and other equipment.

The D77C-NMPD Pelican was an NMPD-specialized variant of the D77C Pelican, itself a variant of the military D77H-TCI Pelican dropship. It was used by the New Mombasa Police Department|police department of New Mombasa, Kenya.Halo 3: ODST, campaign level ''ONI Alpha Site'' (defunct, backup on )
Background Overall, the craft is almost identical to the military D77H-TCI variant used by the UNSC Marine Corps, except for its police livery and a number of additions, including a high-speed camera on the bow of the dropship to monitor traffic and a rescue cable at the rear of the troop bay. It was differentiated from its military counterpart by a black and white color scheme, with the word "POLICE" replacing the traditional "MARINES" on the external hull. The standard Pelican's missiles and guns have been completely removed, replaced for civilian use with optical and sensory surveillance systems for the tracking and seizing of fugitives as well as addressing large-scale emergencies. Under the craft's chin, where a machine gun turret or autocannon would normally be installed, were various interchangeable sensors used by the police for aerial surveillance and crowd control. Each of these dropships is typically armed with an AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun in the personnel troop bay, similarly to the standard D77H model.
History Until the Battle for Earth, these Pelicans were used in traffic, surveillance, search and rescue, and prisoner transport roles.
During the Battle of Mombasa, the D77C-NMPD was used to transport personnel to coordinate evacuation efforts, to get the city's population out of the city, and to fight against the invading Covenant Covenant military|forces. Police Commissioner Kinsler, the highest ranking officer of the NMPD, used one such dropship to locate and kidnap Sadie Endesha. Like his car, Kinsler's dropship was off the grid and thus couldn't be detected by Vergil before it arrived. It was later destroyed by Vergil by ramming into it with the automated piloting system on an Olifant garbage truck.Halo 3: ODST, ''Sadie's Story''
When the Prophet of Regret's ''Solemn Penance'' entered Slipstream space|slipspace above the city, most of the NMPD was held up fighting the Covenant on the ground. After the siege at the ONI Alpha Site (location)|ONI Alpha Site, an NMPD Pelican evacuated Marines Taylor H. Miles|Cpl. Taylor Miles, Michael Crespo|PFC Michael Crespo, and a number of police officers, just before the building was destroyed by a controlled demolition. This Pelican later flew the Marines to the NMPD headquarters in order to extract Edward Buck|GySgt Eddie Buck and Kojo Agu|LCpl Kojo Agu;Halo 3: ODST, campaign level ''NMPD HQ'' While landing, two Type-26 Banshee|Banshees ambushed the Pelican and shot it down, where it crashed in a construction zone high above the city streets. A single NMPD officer, and a Alpha-Nine|squad of Marine Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|shock troopers defended the downed Pelican from Covenant reinforcements. After finishing off the reinforcements, the ODSTs abandoned the Pelican as it was damaged beyond repair, forcing them to find another way out of the city.

The D77H-TCI Pelican (Formal classification: Dropship 77 - Heavy - Troop Carrier/Infantry), more commonly known as the Pelican, is a model of the traditional D77-TC Pelican dropship.
Design
As a dominent Pelican model for many decades, the D77H-TCI Pelican features a versatile airframe, a power-efficent thruster configuration, and dense ablative armor for quick-transfer deployments deep into foe-occupied area. Like the previous standard D77-TC Pelican|D77 model used during the Human-Covenant War, it features an extrordinary level of versality with regard to its arsenal, albeit parts with its forebearer in a variety of ways with several interior and exterior design differences. This includes most notably vertically staggered cockpit seats in tandem, with the co-pilot seated behind and above the pilot, instead of both crew sitting next to each other, and the controls and instrument panels are rearranged and upgraded. A small holotank is installed in the cockpit, allowing a Smart AI|"smart" artificial intelligence|AI to project its holographic avatar to the craft's pilots.
The D77H-TCI Pelican's standard armament has two Anvil-II air-to-surface missile podswhich are integrated seamlessly into the fuselage rather than being externally mounted to the wingsand a rear-bay-mounted machine guntypically an AIE-486H machine gunin its troop bay for providing sufficient suppresive fire for supporting ground teams and loading or offloading personnel in contested sites, and covering the departure of its passengers, although this prevents it from carrying a vehicle internally. The ANVIL pods can fire up to twelve missiles at once, six from each pod. It may also features a trio of nose-mounted chainguns.
The main Fusion drive|engines are mounted in pairs in four nacelles, with one situated on each wing and two at the rear and posterior. The nacelles can articulate independently, thus altering the direction of thrust, referred to as vectoring in aviation; this improves the Pelican's low altitude maneuverability. Eight ventral thrusters are identified by markings and a rendered thrust effect, one on each wing nacelle and one on each aft nacelle, allow the drop ship to land and take off vertically. These engines are capable of both space and atmospheric operation. It has eight jet intakes, three on each side and two on top, though intakes are obviously not able to function in a vaccuum.
There are also differences in the bay of the craft: the so-called "blood tray". Although the D77H-TCI Pelican carries the same number of passengers as its predecessor, its troop-bay is more flexible, able to carry up to two M274 Mongoose internally, in addition to ten passengers. Like the original models, the D77H-TCI's tail-mounted magnetic clamps are capable of carrying an M12 Warthog, an M808 Scorpion, or several resupply canisters.
Variants A gunship version of the D77H is in service; this heavily armed version is equipped with more chainguns, missiles, and a large cannon mounted at the ventral-fore of the dropship. Another configuration of the D77H Pelican were used by the crew during the Harvest campaign and Battle of the Etran Harborage.
D77C-NMPD Pelican A variant of the D77H-TCI and the D77C Pelican itself with very few modifications made to the later over the former, and was utilized by the New Mombasa Police Department in Kenya, Africa, on Earth.

Service history
The D77H-TCI Pelican was introduced at least during the Insurrection and numerous, along with the original D77-TC Pelican, were as well deployed during the battles of the Human-Covenant War. During the Battle of Chi Ceti, the SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II company used a D77H-TCI Pelican to make a boarding action against the Covenant ''Unrelenting'' by flying out of the Pelican with thruster packs to board the nearby enemy vessel.
Multiple D77H-TCI Pelicans were in use over course of Harvest campaign and later Battle for Arcadia and Battle of Trove, including one such Pelican with a woodland camouflage scheme that was used by the Sergeant John Forge and the Fire Team Lima to board the heavily damaged to purge its NAV database and recover the survivors of the .
In the 2552|final year of the Great War, the D77H-TCI Pelicans may have been used during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV and the Fall of Reach. An extensive number of D77H-TCI Pelicans was prominently deployed during the Battle for Earth, including during the final Space warfare|space battle against Prophet of Truth's Truth's fleet|loyalist armada led by ''Anodyne Spirit''. They were again deployed extensively by the Battle Group Victory supported by the Sangheili Covenant separatists|separatist Fleet of Retribution during the Battle of Installation 00, the final battle of the war.
In the aftermath of the Human-Covenant War, many D77H-TCI Pelicans remains in service even when they were supplanted by the D79-TC Pelican. Numerous D77H-TCI Pelicans were used against a Merg Vol's Covenant|splintered Covenant group during the Battle of Draetheus V in 2554. A number of D77H-TCI Pelicans were assigned to the , the flagship of UNSC Navy, and were deployed by the Infinity-class supercarrier|supercarrier notably during the Operation: WHISTLE STOP and Operation: WOLFE|WOLFE.

The D79-TC Pelican, formally designated Dropship 79 Heavy - Troop Carrier, is a UNSC dropship designed by Misriah Armory. Infrequently in service as early as 2526,''Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn'' the D79 had become the UNSC's standard dropship by 2557, supplanting the D77-TC Pelican|D77 and D77H-TCI Pelican|D77H models. A gunship variant (the G79H-TC Pelican|G79H-TC/MA) is also produced.Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide
Overview
Unlike the D77 and the D77H Pelicans, the D79 features a twin-bubble canopy akin to that of the 21st century Wikipedia:Mil Mi-24 Hind|Mi-24 Hind gunship/attack helicopter; flight controls and frontal weaponry triggers are linked to the lower seat, while the dorsal turret is manned through the upper seat. The D79 Pelican features increased hull armor and more powerful engines compared to its predecessors. It has a sleeker, more rounded fuselage which presumably improves its aerodynamics. A tall air intake is located immediately adjacent to the fuselage on either winglet, while a shorter but wider intake is mounted in front of and beneath each forward thruster; two smaller intakes are located above these. Two small maneuvering thrusters are mounted on either side of the fuselage. The Pelican is armed with a pair of GAU-53 70mm rotary cannons mounted on a gimbal, below its nose.
Misriah's D81-LRT Condor uses an airframe strikingly similar to the D79's, as it uses the D79-TC Pelican as the base. However, the Condor possesses a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive and additional thrust nozzles, in addition to substantially greater length.
In addition to the standard dropship model, a gunship model (designated Gunship 79 Heavy Troop Carrier/Mobile Armory) is also used. This version incorporates heavier armament than the dropship version and additional weapons and ammunition racks for the resupply of ground troops.Halo 4, campaign level ''Shutdown''

Trivia
In the level ''Infinity (Halo 4 level)|Infinity'', Pelicans can be shot down by enemy fire, despite their actions being scripted, which can cause them to fall on top of the player and kill them. Additionally, sometimes the pilots will be killed, resulting in the aircraft crashing but not being destroyed. The Pelican's cockpit will be open and the aircraft can be flipped, but it cannot be piloted by the player.

The D80 Condor (Formal classification: Dropship 80), more commonly known as the Condor, is the original model of the Condor heavy dropship.
Overview
The D80 Condor is built on the airframe of the D77C Pelican. It has limited slipspace capabilities, with transit times roughly double those of concurrent larger, more efficient aircraft.
Condor Dropship 80 Service Manual: There are at least three revisions of the D80 Condor Service Manual as of 2559.
Service history
During the Battle for Zeta Halo, at least three D80 Condors were used against the Atriox's Banished, and have been ended up having crash-landed in the region south of the Silent Auditorium (location)|Silent Auditorium, where a trio of Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannons were deployed. After a pair of Gorespikes shot down the Pelican ''Echo 216'' and forced it to land in the area, Fernando Esparza found the three Condors' wrecks crash-landed on the same place as he sought to fled Installation 07 by digging through them and find one with a still working slipspace drive, once John-117 is done with the war with the Banished. After the SPARTAN-II program|Spartan destroyed all three local Gorespike cannons and killed Hyperius and Tovarus, Esparza, however, was unable to find any intact Condor as they were all revealed to have been completely gutted and cratered, alongside their obliterated slipspace drives.

The D81-Long Range Transport (D81-LRT Condor; colloquially: Fat Pelican/SuperPelican) is a medium-sized, long-range aerospace transport craft manufactured by Misriah Armory that is built from the airframe of a Pelican dropship.
Overview
The D81-LRT Condor is built using an elongated Pelican dropship fuselage; the current Condor model uses a D79-TC Pelican frame. Approximately ninety-five percent of the Condor's parts originate from the Pelican that it was built upon. The Pelican's original flight systems, engines, and structural spars are borrowed to in the creation of the Condor. However, the original tail thrusters are removed and replaced with the "Mission Package", which consists of four engine pods and a Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine|slipspace drive capable of short to mid-range slipstream space travel. The Condor features two cockpits, with the upper cockpit housing the dropship's weapons or sensor operator.
Apart from being substantially longer, the Condor has additional thrust nozzles and what appears to be a second deployment bay on the tail boom; this bay likely houses the slipspace drive. The Condor's compact and occasionally temperamental slipspace drive led to the dropship being very expensive, especially on the civilian market. However, advances following the Human-Covenant War have severely decreased commercially available unit costs. Maintenance has remained a problem for the Condor. The dropship's slipspace drive is rated for only five trips before it requires a comprehensive retuning, and eight trips before the Condor's drive has to be fully rebuilt.
Most Condors are unarmed, with a multi-sensor package often replacing a Pelican's armaments. Though in some variants, the D79-TC Pelican's dual GAU-53 70mm rotary cannons are retained. Six hardpoints are retained on the Condor's wings to allow colonial operators to create custom fire control systems to tie these into the civilian controls. During the Second Ark Conflict, the Condor was modified into a G81 Condor|gunship by Isabel, armed with five twin laser cannons and a Mini-MAC.
Variants Several variants of the D81-LRT Condor exist:
D81: Post-War Condor: Equipped with a more efficient slipspace drive and built from excess D79-TC Pelican frames, the post-war variant has the upper cockpit either stripped out or converted into VIP seating. D81WP Condor|D81WP: The WP (Weapons Package) variant retains the D79 Pelican's GAU-53 70mm rotary cannon|rotary cannons and is sold to the UNSC, paramilitary units, and planetary security forces by Misriah Armory. G81 Condor|G81: The G81 is a designation for unofficial, slow-moving but powerful Condor craft armed with multiple pulse-laser turrets and a light magnetic accelerator cannon all of which are capable of independently targeting enemy units. The pulse lasers offer a high rate of fire, making the Condor effective against mass units, while the light MAC provides devastating burst damage for hard target elimination. This Condor variant breaks several UNSC weapon regulations. U81 Condor|U81: The U81 is an unofficial designation for refit Condors used by the Office of Naval Intelligence during reconnaissance and surveillance missions. This variant is outwardly indistinguishable from civilian starships, but the U81 incorporates an advanced electronic warfare suite, an extensive passive sensor array, and a military-grade slipspace drive. This variant is sometimes classed as a "Prowler|subprowler" due to its covert mission profile, although it lacks passive cloaking or sensor baffler|baffling coatings.
Development and operational history File:HW2 MarineDeployment Concept.png|thumb|250px|A number of Condors taking off. Formerly a dropship in service with the United Nations Space Command, the Condor was virtually unparalleled in its role of heavy materiel and equipment deployment. However, due to the D96-TCE Albatross and D82-EST Darter's lower development and operational costs along with overlapping functionality, the Condor ultimately faded from service in the UNSC. The Condor sees continued use by the Sedran Colonial Guard as it is able to work without the need for a larger vessel to deploy from. It is also ideal for low-volume freighting between the Outer Colonies that wish to become autonomous from the Unified Earth Government. The Condor allows colonists to cross long distances, scout possible trade routes, and establish diplomatic relationships without interference of the UNSC or its control on interstellar commerce.
In March 2555, the UNSC's team for the Mission to Installation 00|mission to Installation 00 used a Condor to board the Swords of Sanghelios' ''Mayhem''.Halo: Hunters in the Dark, ''page 110'' (Google Play edition) However, the Condor was heavily damaged during the mission when ''Mayhem'' was attacked by Retrievers.Halo: Hunters in the Dark, ''page 133'' (Google Play edition) The Sedran Colonial Guard used one Condor during the Mission to Alpha Shard|mission to Alpha Shard, alongside several Office of Naval Intelligence Locke's team|operatives.Halo: Nightfall, ''Episode 1'' After traveling to the shard, Thanolekgolo that dwelled on the ring located the dropship and attacked it.

Crash-landing the Condor nearby, the two managed to board the freighter and escape the Halo fragment. The Condor was destroyed shortly thereafter when Colonel Randall Aiken detonated a HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon nearby to destroy the deposits of a fatal new element.Halo: Nightfall, ''Episode 5''
Shortly after the Subjugation of Earth on October 28, 2558, Alpha-Nine utilized ''Foxtrot 111'' for transport to Balaho, Luna, the Spartan-IV Training Station, and Cassidy III. In May 2559, the crew of the used D81 and G81 Condors in their Second Ark Conflict|battle against the Banished for Installation 00.Halo Wars 2
In 2559#|November 2559, ten Condors were attached to the . The Condors managed to escape from the ship's destruction and were used along with an Owl by the UNSC and Swords of Sanghelios survivors of the Battle of Netherop (2559)|Battle of Netherop to escape before the Created could arrive.

The Dropship 82-Equipment Supply Transport, more commonly known as the D82-EST Darter, is a dropship used by the United Nations Space Command to deliver supplies, such as rations and munitions, to forward bases.
Overview
The Darter is a medium-lift utility dropship, filling a niche between the smaller Pelican series and the larger D96-TCE Albatross|Albatross and D20 Heron|Heron dropships. The vehicle is intended for operations which do not involve combat, and as such it is not armed with any kind of weaponry - though it is fitted with a countermeasures package that helps the vehicle ward off some incoming fire. In addition, the Darter is much more agile than its larger cousins, allowing it the ability to drop quickly into contested landing zones that may be challenging for other dropships.
The Darter's cargo bay is capable of transporting large numbers of supply List of UNSC crates|crates at a time. Once it has landed, the underside splits down the middle, lowering a metal pallet from the cargo bay and allowing its cargo to be left groundside to be unloaded. Once free of supplies, the Darter can reseal its cargo bay doors, returning to an orbiting spacecraft to resupply.
Like Pelicans, Darters are not rated for transatmospheric transport of most UNSC combat vehicles, resulting in the employment of UNSC Vehicle Depot|Vehicle Depot and UNSC Garage|Garage base structures instead. Rather than transport vehicles, the Darters transport partially disassembled vehicle components down to the firebase on the ground, to allow workshops in the base to reassemble the vehicle for combat.
The D82-EST Darter has been in service since at least 2531. It is a vital part of the UNSC's logistical operations, capable of deploying personnel, vehicles parts, weapons, and supplies from rations and medical kits to any groundside base. It serves as both an atmospheric and exoatmospheric vehicle capable of delivering troops and supplies wherever needed once a UNSC Supply Pad|supply pad has been constructed.
Operational history In 2531, the support vessel had an extensive contingent of Darters, used to transport supplies for ground forces, namely in firebase unit construction. In 2553#April|April 2553 the Venezian militia|planetary militia on Venezia had acquired several Darters. By 2559 the ''UNSC Spirit of Fire'' was still using Darter drop ships in the Second Ark Conflict. Several Darters were assigned as part of the complement aboard Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station.
Gameplay In ''Halo Wars'', the D82-EST is used to transport supplies from the to provide additional resources for ground forces. They land on specific landing platforms, built into prefabricated firebase units designed to house supply crates they deliver. The Darter cannot be destroyed in-game. However, if a supply pad is destroyed, the craft assigned to it will disappear from the screen.

The D96-TCE Albatross, formally designated as the D96 Troop Carrier, Equipment, is a heavy-lift dropship in service with the United Nations Space Command. Manufactured by Ushuaia Armory, the Albatross is one of the UNSC's primary modes of long-range materiel deployment, transporting troops, vehicles, and equipment across long distances. Overview
A heavy-lift dropship manufactured by Ushuaia Armory, the D96-TCE Albatross is capable of deploying equipment behind enemy lines from both atmospheric and exoatmospheric locations. Although Albatrosses possess no offensive capabilities as they are not typically armed, its nimble maneuverability and heavily protected, expansive cargo bay allow it to transport troops, vehicles, and equipment safely. However, this agility only applies while the vehicle is unloaded - once the cargo bay is full, the ship is notoriously sluggish in the air.
The Albatross lacks any form of slipspace drive. The dropship's propulsion system consists of four engines, two on each side, attached to the Albatross' body. The dropships are also equipped with an autopilot feature that allow them to be operated remotely by a dumb AI.Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''page 71'' (2010)
The cockpit, located at the front of the Albatross, allows for a single pilot and one or two crewmen. The Albatross' large cargo bay can carry between forty-five to fifty passengers, or vehicles and weapons for battlefield deployment. Once the dropship has landed, the Albatross lowers three metal ramps holding the bay, allowing troops and cargo to roll on/roll off (RO/RO), before the hatches are closed and the ship departs back to friendly lines. Heavily armored, the Albatross is able to serve as a makeshift base or command center.
The Albatross is unarmed, and thus typically reserved for usage well away from the front lines. Despite this, it is an indispensable part of the UNSC's fleet of dropships, remaining behind the Pelican in terms of importance. The Albatross is similar in operation to the D82-EST Darter, which specializes in the transportation of base supplies. The functionality of the D81-LRT Condor overlaps with both the Albatross and Darter, though the Condor is equipped with a slipspace drive.
Operational history File:HTFOR-Albatross.png|thumb|The Albatross dropping off the Spartan-II trainees in Reach's wilderness. The Albatross has been a part of the United Nations Space Command's fleet of dropships for many decades. In 2517, during a SPARTAN-II training|training mission for the young Spartan-II candidates, an Albatross deployed the seventy-five children to the Military Wilderness Training Preserve in Reach's Highland Mountains. An Albatross was later commandeered by the children to return back to the Reach Naval Officers Academy, autopiloted by the dumb AI Deja.
The Albatross was also used throughout the Human-Covenant War. During the Battle of Installation 05 in 2552, deployed the surveillance team RECON 127 to Installation 05 to investigate a Forerunner structure on an island, but the team met heavy Covenant opposition and their Albatross was shot down over the island. deployed the Albatross ''03'' to an abandoned Jiralhanae base, where the ultimately dropship crash-landed nearby. Following the Covenant War, the Venezian Militia had acquired an assortment of Albatrosses, among other UNSC aircraft, hidden in a hanger under Mount Longdon Road in New Tyne.Halo: Mortal Dictata, ''page 103'' After the Rookie's death in the Draco III|rebellion on Draco III in 2554, an old Albatross was used by Alpha-Nine to bring his body out to one of Draco III's oceans.Halo: New Blood, ''page 97''
Albatrosses were later employed by the ground force complement of the during Operation: WOLFE, intended to follow a Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|SOIEV deployment of SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IVs onto Reach with Marine reinforcements. Eight such craft were deployed in the invasion supported by a wing of F-41 Broadsword|Broadswords. At the end of the campaign, the ''Infinity'' was forced to evacuate before all the craft were able to return to dock, resulting in at least one Albatross being marooned on Reach.

Trivia
An Wikipedia:Albatross|albatross is a seabird, in keeping with the UNSC's tradition of naming most of their atmospheric vehicles after animals. Some Albatrosses have words inscribed on their hulls by their crews, similar to those pilots painted on the exterior of their bombers in World War II. ''03'' bears the words "Covenant Killer Mk C" and "Humanity-1 Flood-0".

File:H3_Sandtrap_DaVinci_2.jpg|250px|thumb|One of many ''"Da Vinci Code objects"''. The Da Vinci Code objects are objects that appear in several levels in ''Halo 2'', ''Halo 3'', and ''Halo 3: ODST''. These objects are textured with a default Wikipedia:UV mapping|UV-unwrapped texture (used to render textures onto 3D models). The texture is called a default texture, because the final rendered texture was never wrapped, for reasons unknown. The image consists of a spectrum colored grid, with each tile containing a letter from ''A'' to ''P'' in lowercase and alphabetical order. Each line repeats the one above, albeit shifted right by one letter. The name was likely inspired from the texture's slight visual similarity to the "Wikipedia:cryptex|cryptex" featured in Dan Brown's ''Wikipedia:The Da Vinci Code|The Da Vinci Code''.
Given that these objects are found near or in interactive, functioning parts of the map, (Inside Sandbox|Sandbox's laser towers, in Heretic's gravity lifts, etc.) it can be assumed that their purpose is one of a technical nature.
Easter eggs
On Sandtrap and Sandbox, spherical objects dubbed "Easter eggs" and also known as "Da Vinci Eggs", are located near or inside large, tower-like Forerunner structures, and in both levels serve to keep the player from exiting the level. Despite being called Easter eggs, these items were never intended to be discovered by players, they are mere anomalies left in the final version of the game for unknown reasons.
In Sandtrap, the eggs fire orange beams into the sand whenever a player tries to exit the map; these beams activate brute landmines that are buried along the level's perimeter. A landmine will trigger wherever the beam hits the ground. The beams themselves are harmless, unlike the beams on Sandbox. In both cases, the eggs' kills are attributed to The Guardians.
To get a closer look at the Eggs in Sandtrap, you'll need to use Panoramic camera mode|Pan Cam to exit the map in Theater and fly to any of the towers. The eggs will be near the top-right of the towers.
In Sandbox, the eggs fire much more powerful beams directly at escaping players, killing such players almost instantly. The beams on Sandbox are much more accurate, as they were meant to target specific players. However, unlike the beams on Sandtrap, Sandbox's beams can be blocked by bubble Shield|bubble shields and most Forge objects. These beams are very similar to the projectiles fired by a M12G1 Light Anti-Armor Vehicle|Gauss Warthog.
To see the eggs, two players must cooperate. One player (''Person A'') must, while in Edit Mode, exit the map from the Sky Bubble by spawning a teleporter outside the map. ''Person A'' must then fly to a tower (but watch out for Invisible Walls|kill barriers) and spawn a turret against the light in the tower. A second player (''Person B'') must then man the turret and have ''Person A'' pick the turret up. ''Person A'' should drag ''Person B'' up the wall while ''B'' is still against it. Towards the middle of the light, the Easter egg can be seen.
Da Vinci Cube On Heretic, an untextured cube is hidden inside each of the lifts at the center of the map. To reach one of these "Da Vinci Cubes", a player must place a Machine Gun Turret against the top of the lift. They should then proceed to use the Forge turret glitch to enter the small compartment that holds the cube.
The Da Vinci Cubes power their respective lifts; overloading the map will cause the cubes to vanish, disabling the accompanying lifts. There are only four known Da Vinci Cubes on Heretic. The lifts on Sandtrap are powered by something like cubes; there is a little 2D green square under both lifts, and the ones on Valhalla are man cannons, and man cannons don't have cubes. Interestingly, the Cubes are noticeably smaller than the Easter Eggs on Sandtrap and Sandbox.
Da Vinci Towers In the ''Halo 3'' campaign level Covenant Empire|The Covenant, the Time travel glitch can be used to reveal two Da Vinci Towers hidden outside the level boundaries. The towers do not appear in normal gameplay, but seem to be glitched or altered copies of the shield-generating towers that the level's objectives center around. Most of the towers' surfaces are untextured, and the non-solid towers don't appear to serve any purpose.
It is possible that Bungie created two versions or layers of the normal shield-generating towers. The outer layer is Wiktionary:immutable|immutable, but the inner layer (the "Da Vinci" layer) will vanish if the shield generators in the towers are disabled. It is entirely possible that the Da Vinci Towers are projecting the beams that power the shields, which would explain why disabling the shields removes the towers.
Da Vinci Sphere In the Campaign level Halo (Halo 3 level)|Halo, during the battle against 343 Guilty Spark, a small "Da Vinci" spherical object can be seen inside him. The sphere can only be seen when he is heavily damaged, and will disappear when he explodes.
The sphere seems to power Spark's laser, as it can't be seen in a forge monitor. It also appears to be more rounded than the "Da Vinci" spheres on Sandtrap and Sandbox. There is also another much smaller sphere inside Spark, but it is unknown if this sphere has "Da Vinci" textures.
Halo 3: ODST objects Other "Da Vinci" code objects have been found in ''Halo 3: ODST''.
In the campaign level Kizingo Boulevard, there is a very large flat "Da Vinci" rectangle outside the map southwest of Mombasa Island, on the level floor. The shape has no strategic placement and is surrounded by a void. A void contains no textures nor solids, and is empty, hence called a void. It is possible for the player to reach the object without theater mode, using the Banshee hijack glitch.
In ONI Alpha Site (location)|ONI Alpha Site, there are more rectangular "Da Vinci" objects near the bottom of the elevator shafts in the lobby. The shapes can be seen by jumping over the walls (where the elevator comes up) and fall to the bottom. The text on the rectangles appear to be upside-down and very thin. The rectangles can also be seen on Alpha Site.
Note: If the player shoots the walls around the objects, they will splash as if you were shooting water.
Trivia More untextured Da Vinci Code objects can be seen in the ''Halo 3'' ViDoc Halo 3 ViDoc: Et Tu, Brute?|Et Tu Brute?.

Dadab was an Unggoy with the rank of Deacon onboard the Covenant Empire|Covenant missionary ship ''Minor Transgression''Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 49'' under the command of Kig-Yar Shipmaster|Shipmistress Chur'R-Yar. He was one of the small number of Unggoy able to apply for a Deaconship because of his intelligence.
Biography Dadab had a friendly relationship with the Huragok on board ''Minor Transgression'', Lighter Than Some, and learned a fair amount of Huragok sign language during their friendship.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''pages 53-55'' He was promoted to the rank of Deacon because of his above-average intelligence and he could both understand the Covenant Writ of Union|Writs of Union and help explain them to others. While on the ''Minor Transgression'', he was alarmed when the sensors registered what looked like millions of Forerunner artifacts. These were later proved to be the humans, as they were the successors of the Forerunners.
While Dadab was on board the ''Minor Transgression'', they attacked several human vessels, a course of action that resulted in the ''Minor Transgression's'' destruction. Dadab was the first member of the Covenant to see a human, and was being beat by the lone captain on the ship ''This End Up'', however, Lighter Than Some killed the human with a rock that the Huragok was given by Dadab.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 95''
Their attacks on human vessels had attracted the attention of the Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI, Nolan Byrne|Staff Sergeant Nolan Byrne and Staff Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson, who were under the command of Jilan al-Cygni|Lieutenant Commander Jilan al-Cygni at the time and made an attack on the Covenant Empire|Covenant vessel. Dadab escaped the ship's destruction along with his friend, the Huragok, Lighter Than Some, who risked his own life to produce breathable methane for Dadab, to keep him alive on their journey.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 135'' Dadab and Lighter Than Some were rescued by the Jiralhanae-controlled ship ''Rapid Conversion''.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 193'' While on board, Dadab was the ship's Deacon, preaching to the other Grunts on board the ship. He befriended one of the most promising members of his ministry, Bapap. His message of salvation through the Covenant religion|Great Journey was not accepted by all the other Grunts, as he was often at odds with the grizzled Unggoy Flim.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 225''
He and Bapap fought the Humans on the Tiara, with Dadab staying by Bapap's side after he was injured. After Tartarus arrived and rescued Dadab, he asked Tartarus to help save his wounded comrade, who responded by shooting a spike into Bapap, killing him. This unexpected betrayal shocked the Deacon and began to instrument his hatred towards the Chieftain.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''page 364''
Earlier in the battle on Harvest, Dadab discovered that Lighter Than Some had committed several heresies by trying to make peace with the Humans, against the Prophet's orders. He tried to get Lighter Than Some to realize the error of his ways, but Lighter Than Some was unrepentant. Later, after Lighter Than Some's killing by the Yanme'e mechanics because of their jealousy of his abilities, Dadab flew into a rage at his friend's brutal murder, and shot down all the drones with a Type-25 plasma pistol.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''pages 368''
He then swore to avenge his ally and stop all the senseless fighting by killing the Chieftain, Tartarus, whom he believed had started the fight with the humans.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''pages 371'' He managed to take his shields down with an overcharged Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|Plasma Pistol shot, but failed to injure him. Tartarus charged Dadab and crushed him with the head of the Fist of Rukt. Dadab simply disappeared under the weight of the hammer with nothing left of him except a mess of pulp, so it seems his death was quick, at the very least. Dadab obviously knew that he was going to die, and wanted the humans to finish off Tartarus once his shields were down. Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson witnessed this spectacle and it puzzled him greatly, wondering why Dadab had shot Tartarus. Sergeant Johnson at first thought the shot was intended for him.Halo: Contact Harvest, ''pages 373''
Trivia He was the only known Grunt able to communicate with a Huragok. He and Pipit are the only known named Deacons. Dadab's name is similar to the name of Tim Dadabo, who voiced 343 Guilty Spark in the Halo Trilogy.Tim Dadabo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim_Dadabo

A daemon is a computer program that performs its function "in the background" during the normal operation of a computer system, for example providing security services, performing maintenance operations, communication with peripherals or other subsystems, or more.
During the Battle of Installation 00, the daemons in Installation 00|the Ark's computer systems were alerted to the presence of the formerly imprisoned AI Mendicant Bias, which had reconstituted itself using the lost fragment aboard the Covenant's Forerunner Dreadnought. The daemons attempted to confine Mendicant and prevent it from communicating with John-117 via the Z-9930 Information Vector Console|terminals, although they were not wholly successful.Halo 3, ''Terminal (Halo 3)|Terminal 5''
Trivia In Greek Mythology and cultural belief, are lesser divinities or spirits similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature, or aspects of the deities themselves. Much like the computer programs that would be named for them, they were often "behaviors" of divine or spiritual activity, operating on a subconscious level.

Biography
Before the fall of the Covenant, Dahks was member of the Jha'kaar, an elite order of Kig-Yar Kig-Yar Sniper|long-range assassins.
Sometime prior to early 2560, Dahks was hired by the Swords of Sanghelios as a mercenary. By 2560, Dahks had been assigned as part of a joint Swords of Sanghelios and UNSC team under the purview of Fleetmaster Arkad Nar 'Kulul, one of the leaders of the Sanghelios home defense fleet. The Kig-Yar had developed a fondness for human-made Sniper rifle (disambiguation)|sniper rifles, an interest with invited several discussions between Dahks and Trell, a Spartan of Fireteam Jorogumo.
When the Banished Battle of Suban|attacked Suban in early 2560, Dahks and the rest of the joint team participated in the Natural satellite|moon's defense under the command of Fahl 'Nto and Orim 'Kassan. Their task was to clear the Mines of Shua'ree of their Banished presence, a job which saw Dahks and Trell provide sniper overwatch while the others infiltrated the site. Initially, the assault was going well, with Dahks and Trell picking off targets as the rest worked their way through the mines. However, the appearance of Jiralhanae Chieftain|Chieftain Ipso turned the tide of battle in the Banished's favor. As more Swords of Sanghelios warriors fell, Fahl 'Nto was bested and nearly killed by Ipso, only being saved by Spartan Glyyss's sacrifice. With the Swords of Sanghelios clearly fighting a losing battle, the joint team retreated to their Phantom to continue the fight another day.
Equipment By early 2560, Dahks had developed a fondness for human sniper rifles and has been witnessed wielding an SRS99-S7 AM sniper rifle in combat. He is also known to make use of an Kig-Yar targeting headgear|ocular enhancement helmet capable of syncing with human-made drones.

Dahlia is a Human civilian who was a refugee from the Outer Colonies|Outer Colony of Arcadia and one of the founding members of the settlement of Sandholm on the planet Carrow.
Biography
Dahlia was born on Arcadia in 2542, eleven years after the planet was first attacked by the Covenant. She grew up in the agricultural settlement of Abaskun until the age of seven, when she and her family were forced to flee off-world when the Covenant returned in 2549 and fully Glassing|glassed the planet. They moved from Arcadia to the Inner Colonies before eventually reaching the Sol system, spending three years in a Unified Earth Government|UEG refugee camp on Mars. During this time the family was often accompanied by Danzer and Pha, whom Dahlia viewed as family.
Arrival on Carrow After the Human-Covenant War, Dahlia and her family joined a group of colonists who planned to create a new settlement on the planet Carrow along the banks of the Astlehich River. Traveling there in an old freighter, they found that the Sangheili on the planet had established the city of Rak on the spot where they intended to settle. As such, they traveled into the Uldt Desert, establishing the settlement of Sandholm and attempting to carve out an existence on the world. While she had a hard time in the town, Dahlia could still find moments of leisure and fun, such as riding quad bikes in the Uldt and eating lunch on Signal Hill.
Illness and leaving Sandholm In late 2558#June|June of 2558, a viral hemorrhagic fever swept through Sandholm and devastated the town's population. Dahlia fell ill and slipped into a fever-induced coma on June 25, after which her parent used up their supply of antibiotics on her before falling ill themselves. She woke up on July 2nd, finding her parents in a dire state and attempting to care for them. Eventually, Dahlia ventured from her home into Sandholm, where she found Danzer burning Pha's body outside of their home. He told her about the damage the virus had done to the settlement and that the town's communications repeater had gone down. Hiking up Signal Hill to investigate, Dahlia found the repeater damaged beyond repair, leaving the colony isolated from the other humans on the planet. Knowing that she needed to get help quickly, Dahlia decided to travel to Masov Oasis to find human traders and use their radio to call for help. Danzer initially tried to dissuade her from doing this, as Masov is controlled by the Sangheili, but eventually relented and gave her access to a Mongoose quad bike and a M295 DMR|M295 Designated Marksman Rifle. With these new supplies, Dahlia left Sandholm and traveled until the evening, when she stopped to rest in a boulder field.
Arrival and escape from the Masov Oasis Dahlia was awoken by a firefight between Jat and Ruha. Finding Ruha about to execute Jat, she was able to distract the former for long enough to allow the latter to kill his attacker with an Energy sword (fiction)|energy sword. Dahlia's Mongoose was destroyed in the firefight, leaving her to have to ride the rest of the way in Jat's Spectre. Dahlia continued to treat Jat with great hostility while the Sangheili offered his life to her in exchange for her saving his life.
After arriving at Masov, Dahlia parted ways with Jat and went to where the human traders were located. Upon entering the depot, she was quickly captured by two Sangheili who had taken over the building and locked in a cell in another structure. She then met Paul des Hommes and Greta, who told her about the deteriorating situation between the humans and the Sangheili in the Uldt Desert. After this, Masov was attacked by a Sangheili death squad loyal to Thars 'Sarov, who used human weapons in a false flag attack. Two Sangheili removed the humans from their cell and began to take them outside to execute them, but were intercepted and killed by Jat. Dahlia accompanied the Sangheili and fled Sandholm while Paul and Greta returned to the depot to radio for help. They were chased by Thars's forces and their Spectre was eventually disabled, forcing them to make a last stand. They were able to wound and kill several Sangheili but were both eventually wounded and overpowered. They were then saved by the Surakan Militia Volunteers, who had been called in by Paul and Greta and went to examine the firefight. Dahlia initially welcomed their presence, but then one of the militia soldiers executed Jat. She yelled at them and tried to defend Jat's name, but was only chastised for viewing an alien as her friend. Dahlia then received medical attention and new equipment from the militia before returning to Sandholm, where the remaining residents were also helped by the militia. She was present when her father awoke from his illness and told him that she was prepared to defend Sandholm from a Sangheili attack.
Personality and traits Dahlia harbored a deep hatred and resentment for the races of the Covenant, especially the Sangheili. This was fueled by the trauma she received from the attack on Arcadia and her other experiences as a refugee during the Human-Covenant War and the fact that her family's plans on Carrow were ruined by the established Sangheili presence. She still harbored these feelings after her experience with Jat, but she understood that the situation was more complicated than she had previously perceived and vowed to fight them should the situation arise.
Dahlia is also somewhat tall, as she observed that she is several inches taller than Danzer.

After the Human-Covenant War began with the Covenant|alien empire's First Battle of Harvest|attack on Harvest in 2525, Daisy-023 and the other Spartan-IIs were brought to the Reach FLEETCOM Military Complex, where Rear Admiral Michael Stanforth briefed them on the Covenant threat. In response, the training of the Spartan-IIs was accelerated, and in 2525#November|November 2525 they were sent to Chi Ceti IV to receive their new MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor from the Damascus Materials Testing Facility. While en route to Chi Ceti IV aboard the , they were Battle of Chi Ceti|attacked by the ''Unrelenting'', a Covenant warship. The ''Commonwealth'' was able to ward off the ''Unrelenting'' and the Spartans were deployed to Chi Ceti IV with Halsey, where they each received a set of armor. While the Spartans were returning to the ''Commonwealth'', the ''Unrelenting'' resumed its attack on the frigate. To defend the ''Commonwealth'', John-117 had Daisy and the other Spartan-IIs use thruster packs in an attempt to board the alien vessel, and destroy it with Anvil-II air-to-surface missile|Anvil-II AS missiles. However, only John, Kelly-087, and Samuel-034 made it aboard. Daisy and the others missed the ''Unrelenting'', but were recovered after the vessel was destroyed.

File:Female Spartan 1.JPG|thumb|250px|Daisy-023 as a teenager. A few weeks after the augmentations, Daisy and four other Spartans rebelled against their trainers, holding them at gunpoint in front of Dr. Halsey herself, in order to escape. Halsey granted them freedom, and they fled Reach as stowaways, hoping to return home to their parents. When Daisy arrived home at her home planet of Sargasso, the UNSC were already actively searching for her. She evaded patrols and found her home. There, she found a person nearly identical to herself, wheelchair-bound in her home's garden.
Daisy was then approached by a AV-14 Hornet|Hornet VTOL with Dr. Halsey onboard. Halsey explained via COM that all the Spartans had been replaced by flash cloning|flash clones when they were abducted, so as not to arouse suspicion of the missing children. Halsey urged Daisy to return to her and the rest of the Spartans. Daisy, shocked, drew her pistol and approached her clone. Her clone, confused and bewildered, stared at Daisy as she held her gun to her clone's face. After much hesitation, Daisy lowered her weapon, and began to leave. Her clone however, called after her, and offered her a small Keepsake|teddy bear on a chain, not knowing why she wanted to give it to Daisy, only thinking that she should do so. Daisy returned to UNSC custody and was transported back to Reach. However, her clone died soon after on Sargasso, as flash clones did not live very long. Indeed, it was extremely unusual that this one had lived as long as it had.
In early 2526, Daisy served as Gold Team's infiltration expert. On March 5 of that year, she and eleven other Spartans were organized into an assault squad assigned to Naval boarding|board and Skirmish over Netherop|capture a Covenant warship called ''Radiant Arrow'' that was orbiting the planet Netherop. The squad was deployed from the prowler for an EVA boarding action in order to accomplish this task. While aboard the vessel, a sensor operator aboard one of the prowlers seemingly accidentally broadcast a communication to the Spartans, revealing their presence to the Covenant crew. This was actually part of a plot orchestrated by the secret insurrectionist Hector Nyeto to get the Spartans killed. Upon realizing that the "accidental" transmission had blown their cover, Daisy threatened to find and harm the operator responsible ''if'' they even made it off of the enemy vessel. With their presence known, the Spartans began to face much more resistance from the vessel's crew. John-117 managed to reach the bridge after a brief fight in a gravity lift, but the shipmaster activated the ''Radiant Arrows self-destruct sequence, forcing all of the Spartans to immediately abandon ship. Daisy escaped the blast alongside her teammates.
On 2526#March|March 8, 2526, the UNSC initiated Operation: SILENT STORM, a mission that would have the Spartans and the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs of the 21st Space Assault Battalion attempt to board Covenant warships with the intent of detonating them from the inside. During the slipspace journey to their Biko|first destination, Daisy and the other Spartans participated in training exercises with these ODSTs in the 's mission preparation hold. The Spartans made short work of the veteran marines in each exercise until Staff Sergeant Avery Johnson taught them some unorthodox strategies that proved to be much more effective against the supersoldiers. After four days of this, Colonel Marmon Crowther had the Black Daggers and the Spartans gather so he could explain the plan that he came up with. His plan would have split up the Spartans, with each of the twelve carrying a Nuclear weapon|nuke for a single platoon. This way they could destroy many targets at once, but it severely diminished the effectiveness of the Spartans. John-117 expressed his disagreement with Crowther, who brought up his suspicions that they were "just kids" and therefore less reliable than his experienced marines. Daisy broke formation and angled herself at Crowther in a challenging manner. In response, he marched up to her and requested that she tell him her age. John told her to stand down, but she stood her ground and proclaimed that their age did not matter; it was their training that made them superior. Crowther replied saying that combat experience matters more.
Upon the task force's arrival at Biko's Natural satellite|moon of Seoba on 2526#March|March 18, 2526, Colonel Crowther planned to practice the mass deployment of the Spartans and ODSTs into the Seoba Ice Quarry|ice quarry where they planned to wait for the Covenant, in an exercise dubbed Operation: ICE DANCE. However, entrenched insurrectionist forces were detected in the quarry, preparing to stage a coup against Biko's chancellor. Crowther decided that ICE DANCE would proceed as planned, but now with the objective of taking the quarry from the rebels. An intense Battle of Seoba|battle ensued, with the Spartans leading the way. Blue Team focused on destroying a convoy of Civets moving to repair the rebels' damaged communications relay as the other Spartansincluding Daisy and Gold Teamwere engaged elsewhere. Ultimately, the insurgents were soon defeated and the quarry fell under UNSC control.
The next day, Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain Halima Ascot, commander of Task Force Yama and captain of the ''Starry Night'', held a meeting to discuss the events of the previous day's battle. John was reprimanded for his maverick actions at the start of the battle, and his Spartans' experience was called into question once more. Due to some of Nyeto's sly comments, the truth about their young ages was revealed to the few personnel present at the meeting. Learning this disturbing fact, Colonel Crowther refused to send the Spartans into battle again, instead ordering them to guard the insurrectionists captured during the fighting and prepare them to be sent to Biko to be processed. While this meeting was being held, a Covenant Bloodstar Flotilla|flotilla was detected as it arrived in-system and began heading for Seoba. As the rest of Task Force Yama mobilized to meet the alien vessels, Daisy and the other Spartans were sent to Subsurface Maintenance Grotto 6M430, where they would direct the captured insurgents onto Emmeline|a transport. While the line of roughly 300 prisoners marched onto the vessel, John noticed that a group of them were hiding the presence of an officer, General Harper Garvin of the United Rebel Front. He ordered the officer to step forward, but Petora Zoyas|another rebel presented herself instead, clearly trying to stall for Garvin. To show that he meant business, John grabbed the woman by her tunic lapels and threatened her with summary execution for interfering with a guard while on the field of combat, as per the UNSC Military Code of Conduct. John's plan worked and General Garvin presented himself. He began trying to pry information out of John, but this effort was interrupted when a situation with Captain Ascot's flagship was relayed over the task force's command channel. The ''Starry Night'' had been shot down on takeoff, crash-landing back into the quarry. Crowther was unable to send a unit of his Black Daggers to search for survivors without putting more prowlers at risk. Since they were the only unit available to assist, John decided that he and his Spartans would go for the ''Starry Night'' once the transport was loaded. After sending Garvin back to his people and ordering the transport pilot to launch, John had his Spartans move out, much to the concern of Kurt-051 and Joshua-029, Gold Team's leader. Not only would they be disobeying a direct order from Crowther, operating without the support of the task force in such a situation would be very risky.
Daisy and the others proceeded to the grotto's access vestibule and entered its airlock, sealing the inner hatch. With that, they stepped out into the dense sublimation fog enshrouding the quarry floor. Visibility was so poor that each of the Spartans could barely even see the ends of their rifles, but the flashes of plasma bolts could be seen dancing through the clouds above. John accessed the command channel and requested a Navigation point|waypoint leading to the downed prowler. Crowther quickly responded by asking what he thought he was doing. John stated that they were checking on the status of the ''Starry Night'' as they were the only unit that could do so at the moment, carefully choosing his words so that Crowther could deflect blame onto the Spartan if need be. This would make it more likely for Crowther to not stand in the way of their self-assigned mission. While John waited for a response, he signaled Joshua and Kurt to spread out their teams in a hundred-meter-wide search line. Daisy and the rest of Gold Team spaced out on the right of the more tightly-gathered Blue Team, as Green Team spaced out on the left. In doing this, the Spartans would be more likely to find any debris from the ''Starry Night'' that might have otherwise been missed in the fog. John also ordered them to advance at a trotting speed, leading them away from the dockyards where Blue Team had engaged insurgents the day before. When Crowther still had not responded, John added over the command channel that they would simply take a look at the crash site and report what they found.
With that reassurance, Crowther replied and acknowledged John's plan, but ordered him to not take action unless immediately warranted. He also informed the Spartans of Biko's naval response to the alien bombardment of Seoba and that Nyeto believed that the small Covenant flotilla would either be in full retreat or destroyed within the hour by the approaching overwhelming force. An inexact waypoint was placed on each of the Spartans' HUDs and John had them adjust course to match the new trajectory. With the fog still as dense as ever, John ordered them all to advance at a full run while keeping their eyes on their feet, since that was all they could see anyway. As they ran, the transport departed from the grotto and flew over the Spartans, churning up the fog and allowing a brief moment of visibility. Through the haze, they could see five Covenant vessels fire towards the ship as it crested the horizon.
As the Spartans neared the provided waypoint, the fog had lowered to shoulder-height, allowing them to discover that the ''Starry Night'' was indeed seemingly intact, but sat atop a large avalanche about seven hundred meters up the quarry wall. Frederic-104 spotted a Covenant intrusion corvette sliding over the rim of the quarry and descending over the prowler. Kelly-087 theorized that they may be trying to recover the ''Starry Night'' themselves. Realizing the danger, John declared to his teammates that the mission was no longer a rescue mission. Their primary objective was now to deny the Covenant from recovering the prowler and the data stored within. Opening the command channel again, he relayed this information to Crowther, who echoed John's concerns and insisted that they could not let the Covenant take possession of the ''Starry Night''. The vessel's navigation computer and other onboard data devices could reveal the locations of UNSC outposts, entire force deployments, or worse. Crowther asked Nyeto if there was any way that the prowler's nuclear self-destruct system could be remotely activated, to which the lieutenant commander responded in the affirmative. However, there were only three positions that had access to that ability. The first two were the flight commander and wing commander, both of which were roles held by Captain Ascot, who was either dead or unable to be reached aboard the ''Starry Night''. The final person with the ability to remotely detonate the prowler was the captain of the ''Vanishing Point'', which was holding station two planetary orbits out from Seoba. At that distance, it would take nearly an hour for the request to be sent to the cruiser and for the return signal to arrive. By then, the Covenant might already have retrieved sensitive data from the wrecked prowler. Crowther began to reluctantly order the Spartans to prevent the ''Starry Nights capture, but John cut him off, assuring him that they would not fail. The Spartan requested that Task Force Yama assist them by keeping the assaulting corvettes off their backs. Nyeto began to say that their prowlers were not designed for ship-to-ship combat when Crowther interrupted him, promising that they would find a way. Crowther started to tell John to standby for instructions on how to manually activate the prowler's self-destruct, but he reassured the colonel that his Spartans already knew how to activate a Nuclear weapon|nuke.
Just then, a Covenant Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost appeared out of the fog, firing at John, who deftly killed its Jiralhanae driver with his MA5B assault rifle|MA5B's M301 grenade launcher|underbarrel grenade launcher. Shortly after that was handled, more Ghosts entered the quarry, so John ordered Green and Gold Teams to deal with them as Blue Team went with him to the prowler. At this point, the looming intrusion corvette had begun deploying EVA-equipped Sangheili, Jiralhanae, and Kig-Yar warriors via gravity lift, with the first already looking for a way inside the ship. Another corvette crested the edge of the quarry, firing its main cannon on the Spartans. A plasma bolt narrowly missed John, and crashed into the fog-filled quarry floor. Grace-093 was caught in the blast radius and cried out over SQUADCOM, prompting Joshua to order Daisy to tend to her injured teammate. Before he had even finished giving the order, Daisy was already at Grace's side. With the situation quickly deteriorating and Nyeto's support still setting up, John realized that immediate action was necessary. He ordered Blue Team to simultaneously fire on the avalanche just below the ''Starry Night'' with their grenade launchers to cause the vessel to fall to quarry floor and prevent the Covenant from gaining entrance. Despite Fred and Kelly's warnings that such an action could bring the whole slope down on top of them, each member of the team acknowledged and followed his order. As they has feared, the volley of grenades worked a bit too well, bringing the avalanche down on top of all twelve Spartans, but successfully delaying the Covenant in their boarding attempt.
Six of the Spartans were buried under the ice flow, with Daisy's teammate, Naomi-010, becoming completely incapacitated. John-117 was also buried, but not totally immobilized. While he worked on freeing himself, John gave Fred command of the mission to board and destroy the ''Starry Night''. Fred and Linda-058|two Malcolm-059|other Spartans boarded the prowler as the available members of Gold and Green Teams coordinated attacks on the seemingly endless stream of enemy ground vehicles, supported by at least three Covenant corvettes. John freed himself from the ice flow and began helping repel would-be boarders while Fred's team prepared the vessel's Fury tactical nuclear weapon. Meanwhile, Nyeto's support finally arrived the form of strafing runs that destroyed two of the intrusion corvettes assaulting Gold and Green Teams. Just as the nuke was finished arming, the looming Covenant corvette finally made its move and began slowly levitating the ''Starry Night'' up and into its hold using a gravity lift. John ordered Fred's team to activate the nuke and flee from the prowler with the surviving crew, which they did via escape pod. He also warned the others that the nuke would detonate in thirty seconds, urging them to escape the blast radius immediately. Each of the Spartans made it to safety, including Daisy. Colonel Crowther extracted them after the resulting electromagnetic pulse had dissipated. The blast also destroyed the intrusion corvette, and some of the Spartans assisted in the recovery of a Kelguid|starholo from its wreckage. They and the starholo were transported back to the ''Vanishing Point''.
On 2526#March|March 20, the six Spartans that had not been confined to the infirmary attended a funeral service for the two-hundred-and-three men and women who lost their lives at Seoba. Held in the command hangar of the ''Vanishing Point'' as it sat in a high parabolic orbit around Biko, the ceremony included an honor company of a hundred-and-one enlisted personnel in their dress blues, including the six Spartans and Avery Johnson. After the service, Lieutenant Commander Nyetonow the de facto commander of Task Force Yama after Ascot's deathapproached John-117, who asked if he'd reconsider sidelining them. Nyeto promised that the Spartans would be seeing all the action they could handle for the rest of the operation. However, Crowther again contested this on the basis of them being too young, forcing the lieutenant commander to back down by threatening him with a report to a UNSC board of inquiry. The Black Daggers would board the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience|incoming fleet alone. As everyone left the hangar, Crowther revealed to Johnson that he did not trust Nyeto. He believed that the Spartans were combat-ready, and he was instead sending them on a mission to disrupt Covenant supply lines at Etalan.
That same day, Daisy-023, the other Spartans, Staff Sergeant Johnson, and Dr. Halsey left the Kolaqoa system aboard the ''Vanishing Point'', with two prowlers trailing them as escort. Two days later, the three ships dropped out of slipspace at Etalan and the ''Vanishing Point''s analysts spent the next four days observing the logistics fleet's movements, trying to discern which vessels should be targeted first. By 2526#March|March 26, they felt confident that four of the fleet's fifteen vessels were equipment freighters carrying spare parts and other materials that would be used to keep the Fleet of Inexorable Obedience operational. At this point, the logistics fleet was seemingly preparing to leave Etalan, evidenced by the fact that they had begun syncing their orbits and bringing their fusion reactors to full power. As time was running out, Daisy, the rest of Gold Team, and Green Team were deployed in S-14 Baselards with the objective of destroying the equipment freighters while Blue Team remained on the ''Vanishing Point'', preparing for their phase of the attack. Gold and Green Teams were split up into groups of two to pilot each of their Baselards. The four Spartan-manned fighters flew at the center of a formation of twenty total Baselards. The plan was for the squadron to pierce through the logistics vessels' screen of Banshees and Seraphs, then the eight Spartans would go Extra-vehicular activity|EV after faking the destruction of their Baselards. To camouflage their approach, their fighters were equipped with pods of chain-linked debris that would deploy upon the crafts' destruction. Then, the Spartans would board the target vessels and plant their HAVOK nukes before fleeing. Due to the high risk involved with performing such maneuvers, both teams were given strict orders to abort the mission if it became apparent that they would not reach their targets.
After Blue Team launched from the ''Vanishing Point'' in the captured Banshees from the ''Radiant Arrow'', they managed to infiltrate a larger formation of Covenant fighters. With that, the next phase of the mission began as Daisy and the rest of Gold Team ejected from their Baselards while Green Team did the same. As planned, the eight Spartans boarded the four equipment freighters, planted their nukes, and abandoned ship before the nukes detonated. The fourth detonation Electromagnetic pulse|disabled the Banshee formation that Blue Team had infiltrated, forcing them to go EV. Afterwards, when the two escort prowlers moved to extract the Spartans of Gold and Green Teams from orbit over Etalan, their retrieval caused an unintentional diversion that drew attention away from Blue Team as they destroyed the logistics fleet's "Bladder ship|air-skimmers."
After the success of Operation: SILENT STORM, Daisy voiced her desire to avenge Colonel Marmon Crowther by going AWOL and hunting down Nyeto for his betrayal. At this, she was reprimanded by Sergeant Avery Johnson and now-Master Chief Petty Officer|Master Chief John-117 for acting as if the success of the operation meant the end of the war. John reassured her that they would one day find Hector, stating that the Spartans needed to continue fighting together in order to honor Crowther and his legacy. In response, Daisy affirmed her support for the Master Chief.Halo: Silent Storm, ''Epilogue''
File:HL Homecoming kia.png|thumb|250px|Daisy is killed in action. At some point during the Human-Covenant War, Daisy participated in a battle on a war-torn planet, where she rescued several Marines pinned down by Covenant fire. She then assisted in escorting them to an evacuation point, where she met up with Ralph-103, a former SPARTAN-II who had previously escaped with her in 2525 and was now serving as a UNSC Marine Corps|Marine after his dismissal from the program. As their evacuation D77-TC Pelican|Pelican landed, however, Daisy was shot when covering Hauser and impaled by Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler Blamite|rounds. Ralph, who was now aboard the Pelican, attempted to assist her, but she instead yelled for him and the remaining Marines to retreat. Attempting to provide covering fire for their escape, Daisy drew her pistol and fired on Covenant forces. Her efforts, however, were in vain as Ralph and the other Marines were soon killed when their Pelican was destroyed by Pez'tk-pattern fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Gun fire. Devastated, Daisy, wounded and unable to move, died where she lay. Her body was later found by John-117,Halo Legends, ''Homecoming'' DVD Commentary who laid Daisy's teddy bear chain in her hands and closed her eyes in a solemn gesture of respect.
Personality and traits
Described by John-117 as the most intractable, or uncontrollable, of the SPARTAN-IIs, Daisy was known to be very stubborn. She rarely hesitated to speak her mind, especially in defense of herself or her fellow Spartans. On Skirmish over Netherop|one occasion when the lives of her and her team had been put in jeopardy by what seemed like an innocent mistake, she threatened bodily harm on the crewman responsible. Despite her rough attitude with most people, including other UNSC personnel, Daisy was much more sociable with and respectful towards her fellow Spartans. For instance, ever since her SPARTAN-II training days, she shared a close relationship with Ralph-103, whom she cared deeply for. Additionally, in the aftermath of Operation: SILENT STORM, Daisy readily voiced her support for John-117 and his principle on honoring Colonel Crowther's sacrifice despite her own personal feelings on the matter.
Upon meeting her flash clone on Sargasso, Daisy initially drew M6C magnum|a pistol on her, but she soon empathized with the clone and decided to spare her, letting her live out the rest of her short lifea life that should have belonged to the real Daisy. In response, the clone gave Daisy a small teddy bear on a chain, an item that she cherished and carried with her until her death.
Trivia Daisy was voiced by Wikipedia:Carli Mosier|Carli Mosier.Halo Legends: ''Homecoming'' credits She wore red MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor, with a helmet aesthetically similar to the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/C variant|Mark VI CQB variant.

Biography
In 2552#August|August 2552 the city of Mount Haven on an unknown colony was invaded by the Covenant, who proceeded to dig downriver of the city in search of Forerunner artifacts. In response the UNSC sent in a Company of ODSTs for a snatch-and-run operation; they would steal the artifacts then retreat from the planet.
However, unbeknownst to the UNSC, a team of ODSTs had their own agenda. The nine ODSTs were all former CMA veterans, and felt that they had given enough to the UNSC cause. Their plan was to break into a bank in the city center, and use a spare D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship to steal the gold and platinum ingots stored in the bank's vault. They justified their theft by saying that the precious metals were going to be glassed anyway, and therefore they "didn't exist anymore." The team would use the gold to retire.
Their plan hit a snag however when they discovered a schoolteacher and a group of children taking refuge in the bank vault, causing an argument to erupt between the five ODSTs in the vault. Gage Yevgenny wanted to abandon their theft and evacuate the children. Felicia Sanderson was in favor of calling in an extra Pelican. Sita, Dale and Orrin however wanted to abandon the civilians to their deaths. Tempers flared, and the ODSTs turned their weapons on each other; Gage and Felicia against the other three. Dale was shot and killed in the brief shootout; his shots may have wounded Gage or killed Felicia.

The Damage Boost is a power-up enhancement featured in ''Halo 4'' and ''Halo 5: Guardians''. It lasts for 30 seconds and increases the damage per shot of the player's weapons by 100%. This includes vehicle-mounted weapons. While in use, the player is awarded a visual effect which gives off a red full-body glowing effect and leaves a trail as the player moves. This effect also appears on the player's HUD.
In ''Halo 4'' Damage Boost is typically earned in Slayer#Halo 4|Infinity Slayer games through ordnance drops. It is also earned and automatically equipped in Regicide for Reign of Terror|surviving as king for 60 seconds. In ''Halo 5: Guardians'' damage boosts are commonly used in Warzone.
Gameplay
Lowers the player's field of view when in use. Darkens the player's screen. Increases the player's damage by 100%.
*Various explosive weapons have their non-lethal and lethal blast radiuses upped.
The player's field of view remains the same. The player's screen is no longer darkened, past a brief visual shift upon picking up the damage boost. The player is engulfed in a red-orange, fiery glow, compared to ''Halo 4's'' muted, overshield-esque effect. Damage properties are altered.

File:TFoR AS - Damascus Testing Facility.jpg|thumb|300px|The Damascus Testing Facility The Damascus Materials Testing Facility was an Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI Materials Group research and development base located in Vhalkem, on the Outer Colonies|Outer Colony of Chi Ceti IV.
History This top-secret base has been an important development and testing site of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor for many decades, beginning with the initial version later dubbed as the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|Mark IV. Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey, architect of Project MJOLNIR, worked in the facility for some time while refining the MJOLNIR armor series. Though the facility was only manned by three technicians, it had a curious feature, which was that a dozen Artificial intelligence|AIs could operate and utilize the facility in close proximity to one another, which is typically impossible under normal circumstances for technical reasons. There were also obstacle courses for Spartans to become accustomed with their new armor.Halo: The Fall of Reach, ''page 114'' (2001 edition)
On 2525#November|November 27, 2525, the SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II supersoldiers were relocated to the facility for their final stage of SPARTAN-II training|training: the inclusion of their MJOLNIR armor. Right after the Spartans received their armor, the facility was attacked by a nearby Covenant ship, the ''Unrelenting''. All personnel were evacuated and the AIs were deactivated by Halsey when she removed them in the form of data cubes. Spartans John-117, Kelly-087, and Samuel-034|Sam-034 boarded the ''Unrelenting'' and destroyed the ship by detonating its pinch fusion reactor|reactor with ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile|missiles requisitioned from their D77-TC Pelican|Pelican dropship.Halo: Fall of Reach The remaining Covenant force captured weapons and armor, which were studied later by a science lance dispatched by the Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret.Halo Wars, ''Timeline''
The facility continued to operate in the wake of the Covenant attack. Beginning in 2542, the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor underwent development here under the supervision of Dr. Halsey. The MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/EOD variant|MJOLNIR/EOD and MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|second generation MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Soldier|MJOLNIR/Soldier variants were created and constructed here. The novel branches of the first MJOLNIR system's VISR codebase informed the development of the post-war Primeval Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR.Halo 5: Guardians, Primeval VISR description

Trivia The facility was likely named after Wikipedia:Damascus|Damascus, the capital city of Syria. The facility also may have been named after Wikipedia:Damascus steel|Damascus steel, a type of steel used in sword-making during the Middle Ages. This steel was renowned for its strength and sturdiness. The exact process for forging it is believed to have been lost. In the ''Halo: Fall of Reach'' comic adaptation, the Damascus Facility is depicted as an orbital station, a departure from the novel and Dr. Halsey's journal which depict it as a base located deep underground. The facility's depiction in the single issue comic book (1 of 4) bears a striking resemblance to the central section of the space station memory-alpha:Deep Space 9|Deep Space 9 from the memory-alpha:Star Trek|''Star Trek'' memory-alpha:Star Trek: Deep Space Nine|series of the same name. 343 Industries' fan collaborator Stephen Loftus brought the potential IP conflict to 343i's attention and the Damascus space station was completely redrawn by Marvel in a new form for publication in the collected trade-sized volume of the ''Fall of Reach: Covenant'' comic.

Biography By 2552#October|October, 2552, Hogarth had worked closely with UNSC Security Council member Colonel James Ackerson and, following Blue Team's return to Earth from Operation: FIRST STRIKE, received his and the Council's approval to conduct full psychological evaluations on the SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-IIs to ensure the continued stability of the program. Hogarth employed internal investigator and psychiatrist Veronica Clayton to conduct the evaluations of the Spartans on Cairo Station (station)|Cairo Station shortly before the Battle for Earth.Halo: First Strike, Adjunct (2010)
In 2553|January 2553, he was using his personal AI, Harriet, to search through Admiral Margaret Parangosky|Parangosky's files in an attempt to get dirt on her so he could replace her as ONI Director. Black-Box easily detected Harriet's intrusion, and at first decided to feed her false information. As the attempted hacks continue, Black-Box accessed Hogarth's files and triggered a false "massive overspending" alert to UNSC Internal Audit as retribution.Halo: Glasslands, ''page 326''
By 2558, Hogarth was "terminated", and his files were released to the UNSC Fleet Security.Halo Legendary Crate, ''Data Drop 10''

''Damnation'' is a multiplayer map in ''Halo: Combat Evolved''. It is one of the few non-symmetrical maps and incorporates both a high and low flag base, providing heavily vertical gameplay. It is highly popular on the Oddball and Team Slayer gametypes. The map was remade as Penance for ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''.
Summary Damnation takes place in a Covenant facility devoted to the controlling of water flow on terrestrial surfaces. There are three separate streams of water flow down, into an abyss in the main chamber, with many interconnecting platforms, bridges and walkways hanging dangerously close to the pit. Other rooms are mostly empty, with the exception of Covenant comm nodes and Covenant supply case|supply cases.
Layout Damnation can be broken down into four general sections; red, green, waterfall, and everything else. Red refers to the area on the bottom side of the map's two-way teleporter, and if you position yourself well, you'll have a good view of the rocket launcher and the overshield (although not simultaneously) without putting yourself in harm's way. You don't have many useful sightlines to green, however. Green is the top area of the map, and can be further broken down into bottom green, top green, top shotties, and top snipe. There are only two ways to access green; the teleporter, and a short tunnel that feeds from bottom snipe into bottom green. Neither should be attempted while the other team is in green, unless distractions are in place or you have a powerup, as a disciplined team will make quick work of anyone rushing through teleporter or tunnel. Complicating matters for whatever team doesn't have control of green is the fact that the very important active camo spawns up there, on a thin plank outside of green room. It can be grenaded down to the lower level, but that can be difficult to pull off unless you're a seasoned player. Active camo is so important here because it allows free movement (as long you're careful) on a map with fairly restricted flow, and a chance for you to sneak behind enemy lines to start breaking up their control. Controlling green, and the strategy of taking it back when you lose it, is the central premise of Damnation.
The waterfall area consists of three isolated platforms that you must jump across, long, thin planks connected to those platforms that eventually lead back to rockets, the plasma rifle room (PR), and 'back red', where the plasma pistol spawns. This whole section is on the far side of the map from where the action usually takes place, and as such it's rarely used, especially in team slayer games. That said, it can be a very useful flanking route, since other players tend to pay little attention to it by default. PR room in particular is dangerous, as it's surprisingly easy to get spawn trapped in here, and getting out once that happens is almost impossible. 'Everything else' refers to the overshield, rockets, shotguns (or shotties), and bottom snipe. Overshield and rockets are adjacent to each other, and control of one usually means control of the other. Shotties refers to the entire main balcony on the lower level, two shotguns spawn near the windows. Bottom snipe is a conduit of sorts, as it leads both to and from shotties, PR, and bottom green. You can jump to overshield from the small platform outside, and players can fall into bottom snipe from top green, as well.
Bungie.net Hints File:Damnation.jpg|thumb|250px|Map of ''Damnation''
During Capture the Flag|CTF events, stay close to the flag locations and snipe across the high teleport road and the low dam crossing. Communicate well and the flag is yours as it is easy to attack the flag bases from multiple sides at once. Use the two SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifles to surprise and effectively suppress opponents. There is a good hiding place near the uplink crate. Watch your step! There are a lot of areas in ''Damnation'' where you can walk off a ledge and die. Pipes, on the other hand, can be fun places to hang out and get the drop on someone. It was thought that to hop to the pit area from the falls bridge area was impossible, though you can do it the other way. This is actually incorrect - a fairly seasoned ''Halo: CE'' player can achieve this jump from the middle fall bridge to the pit area that contains the coveted rocket launcher. This is done by simultaneously performing two tasks: Walking over the overshield power-up and bouncing a grenade at the wall so that it blows up directly beneath your feet. If timed properly, the grenade will propel the player over the ledge as the overshield is powers up, therefore causing no damage to the player's health and keeping the overshield intact. Some things to remember: 1) The fuse times of Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenades and M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenades are different (a frag grenade will blow up almost immediately when it settles on the ground; a plasma grenade will take approximately two seconds after settling to detonate); 2) If timed perfectly, you can throw the grenade at the wall as you are running full-speed at the wall while powering-up the overshield just as the grenade detonates (again, WHEN you throw the grenade at the wall depends on whether you are using a plasma or fragmentation grenade) - this is most efficient and helps to decrease the chance that you will be killed by an opponent noticing you prepping for the jump; and 3) getting INTO the pit area does not necessarily mean you are going to GET OUT, as this is one of the most highly contested spots on the map, with constant grenade detonations going on and players monitoring the re-spawn of the M41 SPNKR|rocket launcher.

Damon was a fifth generation Dumb AI|"dumb" Class-L UNSC Defense Force|military artificial intelligence assigned to work with the Spartan-II, Frederic-104, in late 2553. Damon assisted Fred throughout Operation: RETRIBUTION, accompanying him during missions to Venezia, Taram, Gao, and Meridian. It was on Meridian that Damon was severely damaged when Fred was run over by a Wikipedia:LHD (load, haul, dump machine)|load, haul, dump machine controlled by the survivors of a rogue Office of Naval Intelligence unit, Papa-10. Though Damon's Data crystal chip|data crystal was cracked, efforts to recover the A.I. were initiated as soon as possible. It is unknown if they were successful or not.
Biography
Damon's programming was completed on 2553#November|November 23, 2553 at around 1419 hours. Damon was created under the direction of Rear Admiral Serin Osman to assist Fred-104, who was ordered to have Spartan neural interface|his Neural interface|neural lace upgraded so that his CENTURION-class Mjolnir|armor could store an enhanced A.I. that would be able to interface with him. By December 12, Damon and Fred had been acquainted for less than two weeks. It was on this date that Fred and the other Spartans of Blue Team participated in the first stage of Operation: RETRIBUTION on Venezia. Damon was present for the surface op which resulted in the successful of elimination of black market crime boss Georgi Baklanov and the arrest of gunrunner Ross Nyeto. Upon returning to the , the that had gotten the team there, Damon could tell that Fred was wondering whether they were ready for for more action. The A.I. preemptively displayed readouts for each Spartan's armor and offered an analysis concerning the battle-readiness of each. Fred advised against reading his mind like that, at least until they got to know one another better, as he found it extraordinarily creepy. Damon begrudgingly agreed to refrain from doing so in the immediate future. File:H5G-Render-Fred.png|thumb|200px|Damon was designed to work with Fred-104. Damon inhabited his CENTURION-class Mjolnir|CENTURION-class MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN2)|GEN2 MJOLNIR and interfaced directly with his brain via his neural lace. The following day, the ''Silent Joe'' arrived in the Shaps system in pursuit of Stolen Faith|a Mudoat starsloop that an undercover Ferret team led by Veta Lopis had secured passage on. The purpose of following the Kig-Yar-crewed vessel was to discover the location of a primary base of operations for the Keepers of the One Freedom and to potentially rescue hostages the group was suspected of kidnapping. It soon became clear that Salvation Base|the base they were looking for was located on Taram, a natural satellite|moon of Pydoryn. Blue Team was ready to insert via D102 Owl but was recalled to the situation room by Captain Piers Ewen before they could launch. It seemed that the Keepers had been alerted that something was afoot, making the mission much riskier. Fred vocally pushed back against the idea that the mission had to be cancelled because of this, which Damon noted had plainly irritated Ewen. Speaking across TEAMCOM for all three Spartans to hear, Damon said that Fred should apologize in accordance with protocol. A short time later, the A.I. offered condolences to him when it appeared that Lopis and the rest of her team had perished, as Damon had been able to tell Fred was fond of them. The captain eventually instructed Anki Hersh|his senior intelligence analyst to ping the Ferrets and in response, a transmission from Olivia-G291 stated that the situation on the ground was "dark and uncertain". Damon recognized that she was using a redundancy code to get a hidden message across. Damon estimated that there was an 83.3% chance that the Spartan-III was trying to say Dark Moon Enterprises was involved with what happened to the missing persons they were after. Fred passed on his A.I.'s suspicions, saying that Damon thought Dark Moon was behind their kidnapping, to which Damon sharply corrected him, saying that he had only said they might be ''involved''.
While the ''Silent Claw'' was halfway through its insertion run to land the Spartans, Damon intercepted a recall order that went out from Taram to Fleet of Glory|the Keeper fleet ordering all vessels which had launched from Salvation Base to return. Fred had Damon sync his HUD with the readouts from the Owl's cockpit. Since a quiet infiltration was almost certainly no longer an option, Fred declared they were going to plan Delta, which involved a more direct approach. Under his breath he muttered that he hoped they wouldn't have to revert to plan Echo, to which Damon stated that no such plan existed. Fred did not realize that he had been speaking out loud, so he verbally rebuked Damon for reading his mind, even though the A.I. had done no such thing. The ''Claw'' took heavy fire during its run and the Spartans were forced to bail from the craft before it crashed violently into the ground. Fred instructed Damon to send the signal that would trigger what remained of it to self-destruct.
Damon traveled with Fred during the subsequent stages of Operation: RETRIBUTION, which took them to the planet Gao the day after and from there to Meridian, a moon of Hestia V. It was December 16 and both Blue Team and Veta Lopis' Ferrets were tracking a group of Jiralhanae Keepers and an ONI Papa-10|team that had both disappeared into the depths of an abandoned mine when Veta suggested that Fred's A.I. could given them a rundown on what had used to be the Jenny Lynn Tantalite Mine prior to the moon's glassing. Damon explained the layout of the caverns in great detail, stopping once to make sure everyone was keeping up before going forward. Fred eventually told Damon that no more information was necessary when asked. Damon also proved to be useful within the mine due to their ability to identify specialized tools the teams came across and through providing a legal explanation for the state things were found in. In fact, it was because of Damon's knowledge of UEG Mine Safety and Health Administration regulations that Fred determined the Keepers in the mine were searching for explosives. A powerful pressure wave threw everyone off their feet at one point, and Damon suggested the blast had come from a Wikipedia:Gelignite|gelignite packet that had been converted to a makeshift grenade. When the teams caught up to both groups they had been following, the survivors of ONI unit Papa-10 made it clear that they were a rogue element that would not come quietly with Veta and the Spartans. Without warning, the three of them drove a massive ten-ton Wikipedia:LHD (load, haul, dump machine)|load, haul, dump machine right overtop of Fred, inuring him and knocking out a number of his suit's capabilities. While Fred was being run over, Damon's Data crystal chip|data crystal was cracked. An irregular pinging in his ears signified that to Fred that the A.I. was having trouble rebooting. Later that day, recovery of Damon was being worked on aboard the ''Silent Joe''.
Personality, traits, and abilities
Damon presented themself as a ghostly, hairless face that appeared neither male nor female and spoke with an androgynous voice. Veta Lopis got the impression that Damon was smug and had a prickly personality. When she referred at one point to Damon as "your A.I." to Fred, Damon stated that they wished she could remember they had a name. During Damon's time working with Fred, the A.I. thought it very efficient to read the Spartan's mind in order to anticipate queries before he actually asked them. It was also no trouble whatsoever to determine when Fred was lying. Damon was eager to make their partnership work as Osman intended. Having Damon onboard made any necessary repairs or adjustments to his MJOLNIR much easier to make. Damon could, for example, prevent its fusion reactor from overheating in the event of catastrophic damage to it that risked such a process.

The dancing Elite glitch occurs when an Sangheili|Elite Player model crouches and melees repetitively while wielding a Gravity hammer (fiction)|Gravity Hammer, and appears that the Elite is shaking around the place. This can be done in Campaign as Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, Usze 'Taham|Usze 'Taham or N'tho 'Sraom|N'tho 'Sraom, Multiplayer, Forge and on Xbox Live Matchmaking, particularly in Grifball.
Walkthrough Simply acquire a Gravity Hammer as an Elite, press the Left Thumb Stick and B over and over. From the Elite's perspective, the Gravity Hammer shakes around wildly, but from a third-person view, a laggy, shaking Elite is shown. It is very hard to do this glitch while running or walking, as is crouching repetitively.
This is a sub-glitch, that instead of meleeing, swinging (RT) the hammer (or 7-wood) ''may'' make it 'silent' while crouching up and down, it might take a couple of tries. It still has the same properties as a normal swing, but instead no ammo will be lost, and a standard melee 'whack' sound will be heard if in contact with another player, but it will instantly kill. If you aren't the host, ammo will be lost.
Explanation This is unknown why this occurs, maybe the Elite model doesn't have a animation for meleeing with a Gravity Hammer while crouching up or down, or both animations overlap each other, using the same model parts such as the Elite's legs, so it shuffles in between the crouching and meleeing animations. This glitch will work with the 7-wood as well, but not with any other weapons.
Or perhaps it has something to do with the Elite's midair melee animation being incomplete. When a Spartan jumps and presses the melee button, he can do a different melee animation from the standard one. When an Elite jumps and presses the melee button, he can only do one melee animation. If the Elite crouches while in midair, he can do two different melee animation. Also, if the Elite crouches and then presses the B button, he will either do a animation where he swings the hammer horizontally, kind of like how Arbiter swings a Fuel Rod Gun and Rocket Launcher, or he'll slam the hammer vertically like a Brute Chieftain does.

The Dancing Grunts is an Easter egg in ''Halo 4'''s ''Spartan Ops''. The Easter egg is only accessible in single player play on S1/Scattered/All_The_Secrets|All The Secrets level on Legendary difficulty.
Walkthrough At the beginning of the mission make your way to the second level of the facility. This can be done most easily by scaling the rock ledges on the right side of the map and/or by using a Series 12 Single Operator Lift Apparatus|jetpack. Upon reaching the second level head over to the left side. At the top of the ramp you will find a human loudspeaker. Destroy the loudspeaker, then kill all of the Covenant on the lower level. Once you kill them all you will receive a prompt to open the door on the lower level. Upon entering, you will find eight Grunts dancing in a circle. Three loudspeakers have also appeared and are playing up-tempo music to which the Grunts are dancing. These loudspeakers cannot be destroyed.
Killing a Grunt will not cause the others to turn on you, however if the player merely wounds one, that individual Grunt will turn on the player.

The Dancing Hunter is a glitch that appears in ''Halo: Reach''. It causes a Mgalekgolo|Hunter to rapidly change direction facing back and forth, causing them to look they are dancing.
Details The glitch occurs when a Hunter becomes suddenly unaware of the player's location, yet is being told by the game to attack them immediately. Because the Hunter can not determine where the player is, they shift back and forth, constantly changing direction until they discover where the player is. This most commonly occurs during Firefight, where the Hunter may have just killed the player and is waiting for them to respawn.
The dancing may or may not affect the Hunter's bond brother if they are still alive, and even then one might break out of it faster than the other.

Danforth Whitcomb was the Deputy Chief of Naval Operations in 2552. He was directly subordinate to Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood|Lord Terrence Hood. He was also a member of the UNSC Security Council.
Characteristics Whitcomb is well noted for his accomplishments during the Battle of New Constantinople and the Siege of the Atlas Moons, and as such, every SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II had studied his record.Halo: First Strike, ''page 179'' He claimed to have descended from Wikipedia:Cossacks|Russian Cossacks, though his accent suggested that he originated from the Wikipedia:Texas|Texas area.
Biography During the Human-Covenant War, Whitcomb fought in the Battle of New Constantinople and the Siege of the Atlas Moons. In addition, several ONI projects were conducted under his direction, such as the research and development programs Project HRUNTING|HRUNTING and Project YGGDRASIL|YGGDRASIL.Halo Waypoint, ''Prototype'' fiction article
He was stationed at Reach in 2552. During the Fall of Reach, he had gone to secure his secret project, the NOVA bomb, when the UNSC High Command|HIGHCOM HQ of the Reach Military Complex was destroyed. Whitcomb then became the ranking officer on the planet. Whitcomb radioed the team he had sent to gather the Novas, Charlie Company.Halo: First Strike, ''page 22''
It had turned out that the company was forced to defend Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|ODG Facility A-331 and most of them were killed when a flight of C709 Longsword interceptors were ordered to bomb the area mistakenly. Instead, he contacted Frederic-104, who was now in charge of Charlie Company. Fred sent Anton-044, Li-008, and Grace-093 to rescue him.
The Admiral had his staff with him, but it is assumed that they were killed in the battle. He and the three Spartans then retreated to Camp Independence to avoid Covenant activity.
For three weeks they conducted hit and run missions against the Covenant and broadcast the Oly Oly Oxen Free signal, until the signal was picked up by John-117 and Lieutenant Elias Haverson. They then went to rescue Fred's team, and returned to the captured ''Ascendant Justice/UNSC Gettysburg|Gettysburg'' aboard a captured Dextro Xur-pattern Spirit|Spirit dropship.
}}
Whitcomb then took command of the vessel, navigating it through an anomalous Slipstream space|Slipspace bubble and defeating the Covenant, despite the heavy damage to the ship. He then took it to Eridanus Secundus, blackmailing Jacob Jiles|Governor Jacob Jiles to help him repair his ship. Whitcomb held off the first wave of Covenant attacks which was two Covenant cruisers (just a small scout party for the main fleet). But when the main attack force showed up he knew that he could not sacrifice the crew of the ''Ascendant Justice/Gettysburg'' because they were the only ones who knew of the Covenant plans to attack Earth so he traded the rebels lives for UNSC lives. He wanted to stay and defend the rebels but he said ''"This is not the Alamo and I am not Colonel William Barret Travis, although I dearly wish I were. No, we're running. We're trading hundreds of lives for millions."'' It was obvious he deeply regretted abandoning the rebels, whom he promised amnesty for their services.Halo: First Strike, ''pages 276-284''
He then reluctantly approved Operation: FIRST STRIKE, and although he initially planned to continue on to Earth, on Haverson's suggestion, he had the ship drop out of Slipspace to get some intel on the fleet. Upon seeing the size of it, Whitcomb realized that even if the command station was destroyed, there was still too much of a threat to Earth and decided to do something about it then and there while he still could. He moved the ships to behind a nearby moon and had the ''Ascendant Justice's'' Slipspace matrix moved to the ''Gettysburg'' so that ship could jump, then detached the two ships, slingshoting ''Ascendant Justice'' around the moon towards the ''Unyielding Hierophant'' in an attempt to maximize Covenant losses by drawing in as many ships as possible towards the explosion. He rammed the ''Unyielding Hierophant'', and broadcast a message that he had the Forerunner crystal that the Covenant wanted and told them to come and get it. His act as bait was successful, and he perished along with Lieutenant Haverson and the ''Ascendant Justice''. After arming Lieutenant Haverson and himself with submachine guns, he courageously held out for a while before becoming overpowered and overrun by Elites wielding Type-1 energy sword|energy swords, most likely Sangheili Zealot|Zealots. His sacrifice prevented Earth from being overrun by 500 Covenant vessels, a fight that would surely have met with disaster for humanity's homeworld. Thanks to his drawing in the fleet, all but about a dozen ships were destroyed in the blast, severely weakening the Covenant forces that attacked Earth later and giving it a fighting chance.Halo: First Strike, ''pages 329-335'' His last words were:
After the deaths of Whitcomb and Haverson, the Master Chief added both men to his team roster along with Corporal Locklear and Petty Officer Polaski and listed them as KIA.Halo: First Strike, ''page 400''
On the Covenant supercarrier ''Sublime Transcendence'', an Unggoy named Kwassass found a NOVA bomb recovered from a Covenant-glassing|glassed Reach. The Unggoy managed to partially activate a recording of a threat from Whitcomb. It wasn't until the Covenant Huragok took it from him and fixed the circuitry that the bomb roused, activated, and destroyed the entire population on Saepon'kal|Joyous Exultation and obliterated its moon, Malhiem. The Combined Fleet of Righteous Purpose|Covenant fleet stationed near the planet was almost completely wiped out as a result of the explosion.
The fact that Whitcomb was responsible for the devastation of an entire planet and the destruction of its moon would suggest that he might have amassed one of the highest individual kill counts in the UNSC, likely higher than the entire Spartan|SPARTAN Program amassed over the years, and also likely higher than the Covenant death toll at the Battle of Psi Serpentis inflicted by Vice Admiral Preston Cole|Cole. He was also directly responsible for an untold number of Covenant deaths during Operation: FIRST STRIKE by luring the Covenant fleet in close enough to be caught in the destruction of the ''Unyielding Hierophant''.

Danger Canyon is a multiplayer map originally exclusive to ''Halo: Combat Evolved (PC port)|''Halo: Combat Evolved'' for PC'' and ''Halo Mac''. It is included in Halo: The Master Chief Collection|''The Master Chief Collection''. The level is somewhat similar to the Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo and The Silent Cartographer levels in singleplayer campaign of ''Halo: Combat Evolved''.
Layout Danger Canyon features a long, narrow, and winding canyon with an alternate passageway leading to a second level in the center of the canyon. It is a large level and teams can get stuck fighting across the second-level canyon area for extended periods of time. The tunnels going through the cliffs will lead to your opponent's base and a cliff.
Strategies There are 6 ways in and out of the tunnel system. Learning the tunnels' anatomy is ''highly recommended'', and in CTF, it can lead to getting out of the enemy base with the flag quickly and efficiently. The map has a few critical capture points:
*From both passes, a tunnel can be taken that leads to a central room. This room is used to access the bridges. If a team can gain control of it, they can prevent the enemy from passing. This wreaks havoc on the enemy, leaving them no way to escape or advance.
*The far side of the bridges can be key to a teams success. A SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle, M6D magnum|pistol, M9 fragmentation grenade|fragmentation grenades and an overshield spawn here. A skilled sniper can pin enemies on foot in the tunnels. This sniper can also pick off slower vehicles that may pass, like a M808B Scorpion|Scorpion tank or an unsuspecting M12 Warthog|Warthog. Additional teammates can go through the tunnels, across the bridges, and through the teleporters to get to vehicles that may be waiting there.
*Coordinated vehicle attacks can be very effective in CTF. Scorpions and Warthogs can be used to pin the enemy down, while a Ghost user takes the flag back to base. Another tactic is to collect both the Unidentified fuel rod gun|Fuel Rod Gun and M41 SPNKR|Rocket Launcher in the tunnel system and then raid the enemy base. Similar to Infinity (Halo: Combat Evolved map)|Infinity, Danger Canyon was designed ''specifically'' so that coordinated team attacks are a necessity for success. The passageway leading to the second floor is large enough to drive a Warthog through and up to the overlooking platform, giving a good firing or sniping position. In CTF games, steal the flag going up inside the premises with a soldier escorting you with an M7057 flamethrower for fighting in small places. To prevent your enemies from stealing your flag in a CTF game, take a Ghost or a Warthog and park on top of the flag facing the entrance of their base to destroy invaders quickly. To invade the enemy base quickly and flip vehicles, use a Fuel Rod Gun, then use a Warthog to escape quickly. One of the best strategies for CTF is to leave two people to guard the base, preferably with either the Scorpion or Rocket Hogs, and send everyone else straight through the tunnels. Going across the main section of the map is never advised. In Team Slayer, the most important place on the map is the ridge across the middle bridges. The Sniper Rifles are invaluable and overmatch any other infantry weapon (including fuel rods and rocket launchers, because of the distance between the ridge and enemies). The position protects from most vehicles, the only possible threat being the Scorpion's blast radius. However, any skilled sniper can snipe a Scorpion driver with relative ease.
Trivia Wall hacking can be performed in Danger Canyon, given that there is at least one Ghost or Warthog, and friendly fire turned off. Start a new game on Danger Canyon and get into either vehicle. Get a teammate to get in front of the wall closest to your enemy's base and ram them through the cliff wall. Sometimes this may fail, leading to your teammate falling through the map. If it does work, you will be at the opposing team's base. It is possible to get a Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost to the other side of the canyon top. Many players will take Warthogs and Ghosts through the tunnels and camp on the platform in the Canyon's center; it is possible to get a Ghost across one of the bridges leading to the ledge with the teleporter with precise timing. You can survive the fall off the platform in the center if you have an overshield and land on one of the ramps.

Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Recruitment
General Daniel Black was a flag officer of the UNSC Marine Corps. Black served as the superintendent of Corbulo Academy of Military Science during the later years of the Insurrection and during the Covenant's invasion of the Outer Colonies in 2526.
Biography
Prior to taking a position at Corbulo Academy, Black had served as a committed and dedicated Marine officer, earning his stripes through his involvement in Operation: TREBUCHET. Strongly patriotic and pro-Unified Earth Government|UEG, he earned numerous :Category:UNSC Decorations|decorations in his career and by 2526 he had achieved the rank of General.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Lecture
Upon noticing the amount of Outer Colony youth joining Insurrectionist factions, he decided that an extremely regimented pro-UEG education would be the key to winning the Insurrection. As such, sometime prior to 2526, Black was appointed superintendent of the Corbulo Academy of Military Science.
Black regularly made rounds of the campus, personally overseeing the performance of the class of 2529.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Squad He frequently monitored Hastati Squad, particularly Cadets Chyler Silva and Thomas Lasky. Silva's parents had been killed in action against Insurrectionists, and the general respected their sacrifice and their daughter performed admirably in his eyes. Lasky's Lasky (colonel)|mother was a well-renowned colonel, while his brother, Cadmon Lasky|Cadmon, had been one of the finest cadets in the academy's history. In contrast to Silva, Black often berated Thomas for failing to live up to his family members' reputations.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Episode 1Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Episode 2
As of 2526, Office of Naval Intelligence#Section Two|ONI Section Two kept the Covenant's existence a closely guarded secret. Despite most of the academy's personnel being unaware of the burgeoning Human-Covenant War, Black was informed and posted Marine garrisons at key areas around the facility. He also authorized limited communications blackouts under the guise of routine maintenance procedures.
During the Covenant Battle of Circinius IV|attack on Circinius IV, Black ordered the evacuation of Corbulo's cadets. However, the destruction of the Academy's space elevator killed many of the cadets and staff, hindering the evacuation operation.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, Part 3 Shortly afterwards, Black, along with most of Circinius IV's population, was killed in the Covenant ground assault. His corpse was later found in the driver seat of his M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog by the four surviving CAMS cadets as well as John-117, who used his Warthog to escape the Academy.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn, Part 4
Personality and traits Black had a very gruff, no-nonsense personality and little tolerance for second-rate performance. Though he respected those who conducted themselves well in exercises and in actual service, he did not refrain from belittling those whom he felt did not give their all. He has a habit of smoking cigars, probably Sweet William cigar|Sweet Williams.
Black adamantly believed in Earth's dominance over humanity's human colonies|colonies, maintaining that the UNSC was solely responsible for humanity's survival and well-being. He strongly condemned the insurrectionists, who in his view endangered countless human lives as well as what he saw as mankind's safe and harmonious coexistence under the auspices of the Unified Earth Government.Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn: Lecture He was very vocal with these views, making his stance known not only among the cadets in the lectures and speeches he frequently held, but also in the school's advertisements.

Captain Daniel Clayton is a former UNSC rank structure#Officer ranks|commissioned officer of the UNSC Navy who defected to the New Colonial Alliance, an Insurrectionist|insurgent organization. He is the illegitimate son of the renowned James Cutter|Captain James Cutter.Halo: Escalation, ''Halo: Escalation Issue 5|Issue #5''
Biography
Daniel "Danny" Clayton was born on the Inner Colonies|Inner Colony world of Tribute to James Cutter and his mistress. Clayton has no memories of ever meeting his father, though his mother claimed he once did. Cutter and his command, the , disappeared following the Battle for Arcadia in 2531#February|February 2531. Then-Captain Terrence Hood (Cutter's former executive officer) blamed himself for allowing the ship to go missing, as he ignored orders to avoid contact with the Covenant; the ensuing engagement prevented ''Spirit of Fires log buoy from being recovered, thus denying the UNSC any indication of Trove|the ship's whereabouts.
Out of guilt, Hood provided support for both Cutter's legitimate family (his apparent widow Mary Cutter|Mary and Cutter's daughter|their daughter) and his secret one, sending Clayton's mother money for years. Clayton eventually joined the UNSC and rose to the rank of captain; by 2558 he had come to serve under Horatio Temkin|Rear Admiral Horatio Temkin, the UNSC's ambassador to Sanghelios. Clayton eventually learned that Lord Hood had been acting as a benefactor throughout his entire career in an attempt to make up for the loss of Cutter and ''Spirit of Fire''. Feeling he had never accomplished anything for himself, Clayton joined Mattius Drake|Admiral Mattius Drake's New Colonial Alliance and sought vengeance on Lord Hood.
Having learned of Hood's diplomatic mission to Ealen IV, Clayton leaked intel about the peace talks and employed the help of a Sangheili mercenary, Vata 'Gajat. On March 5, they led an attack on the peace conference. Clayton also had his own agent among the delegation's security detail, SPARTAN-IV Vladimir Scruggs. During the battle, he was notified by Scruggs that Fireteam Jackknife was eliminated. The tide of the battle changed when the delegation reestablished communications with their orbiting fleets and escaped from the planet. Not wanting to risk being identified, Clayton and 'Gajat retreated before the and their allied Sangheili and Jiralhanae ships could engage them.Halo: Escalation, ''Halo: Escalation Issue 3|Issue #3''
File:Madsen leaving Clayton unconscious.jpg|thumb|250px|Spartan Madsen knocking Clayton out with the butt of his sniper rifle. After their failed assault on Ealen IV, 'Gajat and Captain Clayton lured Admiral Hood and the UNSC ''Infinity'' into a trap. They launched a freighter, the ''Pilgrims' Pride'', which sent out a distress signal that was later picked up by ''Infinity''. When ''Infinity'' arrived in the Artesia-702 system, it found the damaged freighter leaking atomic matter with faint life signs aboard and tugged the ship into one of its deployment bays. An ambush was sprung within the bay when the freighter set itself to self-destruct and multiple UNSC aircraft exited its cargo bay. The attack was repelled and ''Infinity'' later discovered the assault crafts, acquired by Clayton on a sale on Oban,Halo: Point of Light, ''Chapter 5'' used were from the ''Spirit of Fire''. ''Infinity'' tracked the freighter's origin to Oth Lodon where it found a Station at Oth Lodon|Covenant space station operated by NCA forces. Captain Clayton revealed himself and his motives to Lord Hood and fired on ''Infinity'' with the station's energy projector.
After firing several times the cannon overheated, forcing Clayton and the others to wait to bring it back online. The station then detected several OF92 Booster Frames, and he ordered the station's smaller arms online. He asked 'Gajat to keep ''Infinity'' busy until they brought the cannon back online. 'Gajat however, questioning Clayton's vision, decided capturing the ship would get them more money than working for Clayton. Five Spartan-IVs boarded the station and seized control of it, ordering everyone to freeze. Clayton told them not to listen, asking the Spartans if they knew who he was. Anthony Madsen|One of them said they did know him and knocked him out with their SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle|sniper rifle for killing his friend Paul DeMarco during the Battle of Ealen IV.
Clayton and the others were captured and brought aboard ''Infinity''. Lord Hood came to see Daniel in his cell, Clayton already assuming he was going to the Midnight Facility. Hood wanted to know why Admiral Drake would allow Clayton to destroy ''Infinity'' when four years earlier, the NCA had sought to Raid on UNSC Infinity|capture it. Saying that Drake was twice the man Hood would ever be, Clayton went on to claim that the New Colonial Alliance had agents on every human world, including Earth, and confidently stated that the UNSC and Earth would fall. As Hood turned to leave, Clayton hit one of his UNSC Marine Corps|Marine guards and said they would meet again, when Hood would watch his empire fall.Halo: Escalation''', ''Halo: Escalation Issue 6|Issue #6''

Doctor Daniel Endesha was a scientist and a resident of New Mombasa. He was largely responsible for the management of the city's Superintendent Artificial intelligence|AI.
Biography Daniel Endesha was the father of Sadie Endesha. When Sadie was a child, he programmed Vergil, a subroutine of the Superintendent, to take care of her.
During the Battle of Mombasa on 2552#October|October 20th, 2552, Endesha was inside the Superintendent's data center, where he observed several Covenant Empire|Covenant Huragok free Quick to Adjust|one of their companions, which then started fixing the Superintendent. He was killed when the corrupt Kinsler|Commissioner Kinsler of the New Mombasa Police Department had the data center's fire extinguishing systems activated, flooding the facility with deadly argon. His body was later found by a corrupt cop sent to check on his status and the ODST Jonathan Doherty. Upon seeing Endesha's body, the cop attempted to kill Doherty to eliminate all witnesses, only to be killed in self-defense by the ODST.
In the years following the war, the Huragok Quick to Adjust, merged with Endesha's Vergil subroutine, retained the protective instincts towards Sadie that Endesha had programed into Vergil. As a result, Sadie became his handler. While working with Alpha-Nine during the Created conflict, Sadie displayed an understanding of AIs that came both from her own studies and what she learned from her father. After the Battle of Cassidy III, Quick to Adjust told Sadie that her father would be proud of her as was the Huragok when Sadie started questioning herself.
Trivia Dr. Endesha is voiced by Hakeem Kae-Kazim, who also provided the voice of Jorge-052, Noble Team's heavy weapons specialist, in ''Halo: Reach''. His body can be found by obtaining twenty-nine Audio log (Halo 3: ODST)|Audio logs and by following the Unidentified NMPD officer|lone NMPD officer through the level ''Data Hive''. The officer will eventually turn hostile, forcing the player to kill him. The final audio log can be found on the wall right next to the doctor's body. His model is the same as those of the Voi factory workers seen on the level ''The Storm'' in ''Halo 3''.

Dr. Daniels was a civilian scientist who worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence as a xenoarchaeology consultant. Halo: Fleet Battles ''SCENARIO FOUR: RUN!'' He was stationed with a team of scientists in Teller Station, a research facility located on a Site 17|planetoid in Epsilon Eridani's Oort cloud, in order to study a Forerunner Site 17 artifact|artifact. Daniels and his fellow scientists had carefully worked on excavating this artifact for several years; however, in the summer of 2552 with the Covenant's discovery of Reach and the declaration of WINTER CONTINGENCY (protocol)|WINTER CONTINGENCY throughout the system, Teller Station's defenses began to withdraw and abandon the facility, ordering the science team to conduct one final dig.Halo: Fleet Battles ''SCENARIO THREE: EVACUATE'' Thus Daniels and the other scientists were forced to hastily compress a long-planned and extensive retrieval operation into a time-frame of less than a fortnight. This frantic effort exhausted Teller Station's crew but was ultimately successful in retrieving an object from Site 17. However, the effort also succeeded in activating dormant Forerunner systems which alerted the Fleet of Valiant Prudence to the stations location, enraging it at the perceived desecration of the Forerunner reliquary. Consequently, Supreme Commander Rho 'Barutamee ordered a significant portion of his fleet to retrieve the artifact and avenge the human insult, while Admiral Michael Stanforth dispatched a battlegroup to interdict this effort. Daniels and his fellow scientists were thereby able to escape to Turul along with the artifact, which he could tell was extremely valuable.Halo: Fleet Battles ''SCENARIO FIVE: INTO THE FIRE''

It was said that he had "near magical abilities" when it came to explosives. He always knew when they would explode and when they would fail.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 116'' He was killed during the Onyx Conflict.
Biography
Dante was orphaned at a young age when the Covenant Glassing|glassed his homeworld. Possessing the requisite genetic profile for the SPARTAN-III program, developed by Colonel James Ackerson, Dante came into the attention of the Office of Naval Intelligence and, while between the ages of four and six, was convinced by an ONI recruiter to join the program to avenge his family. Following the activation of Gamma Company in 2544|July 2544,Halo Mythos, ''page 76'' Dante and the other SPARTAN-III candidates were trained in Camp Currahee on the classified planet Onyx by Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez, Lieutenant Commander Kurt-051, and surviving SPARTAN-III Beta Company|Beta Company Spartan-IIIs Lucy-B091 and Tom-B292.
On 2552#October|October 31, 2552, Dante and Team Saber were competing for top honors with Gamma Company's other teams near Zone 67 when they came under attack by Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels. Forced to halt their training exercise due to the attack,Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 117-119'' Dante and Team Saber successfully evaded the drones until regrouping with other UNSC forces at Camp Currahee. Soon after, they were joined by Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey, Kelly-087 and SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II Blue Team.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 170-176''
With their help, Team Saber destroyed a pair of Sentinels before retreating to Zone 67,Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 261'' which revealed to house an enormous Forerunner city. Entering a large, domed structure in the city, the Spartans discovered the Cartographer|map room of Onyx and the location of Team Katana, whose signal Olivia had picked up earlier before communications with them were lost.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''pages 131-132'' However, a Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant fleet led by Fleet Master Voro Nar 'Mantakree arrived at Onyx, dispatching ground forces to pursue the Spartans.
With the Covenant closing in, Kurt ordered Dante to place C-12 shaped charges around the domed structure. When the Covenant breached the structure's interior, he and the others were ordered to fall back into the map room. After covering the group's rear, Dante and Lucy helped drag an injured Frederic-104 to safety. Dante was mortally wounded when his left side was grazed by a plasma bolt and a number of Type-33 Needler|Needler rounds exploded on his chest, exposing his ribs. Dante fell behind as the group retreated, and caught up just when Kurt noticed his disappearance, limping and holding his side. After reporting that he thought he was "nicked," Dante then collapsed and died.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''pages 304-309''
After Kurt looked at his body and discovered the extent of his injuries, the others wrapped Dante's body in a thermal blanket,Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''page 317'' and eventually took it to the ONI Research Facility Trevelyan|shield world, where he was buried by the survivors of the battle who then held a funeral service to him and the other fallen Spartans.Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, ''pages 378-379''

Danzer is a human civilian who worked as one of the founding residents of the colony city Sandholm, on the planet of Carrow.
History
Danzer and his partner Pha were residing on the Outer Colonies|Outer Colony world of Arcadia when it was attacked by the Covenant for a second time in 2549. They fled the planet and spent the rest of the war as refugees, first fleeing to the Inner Colonies before spending three years in a Unified Earth Government|UEG refugee camp on Mars. They traveled alongside Dahlia and her family for most, if not all, of this time, developing a close familial bond with them and often caring for Dahlia.
After the conclusion of the Human-Covenant War, Danzer, Pha, and Dahlia's family joined a group of colonists who planned to create a settlement on the planet of Carrow on the banks of the Astlehich River. Traveling there in an old freighter, they discovered that the Sangheili city of Rak had been built on the spot of their intended colony. As such, they traveled into the Uldt Desert, establishing the settlement of Sandholm and attempting to carve out an existence on the world. In late 2558#June|June of 2558 a viral hemorrhagic fever swept through Sandholm and devastated the town's population. Both Danzer and Pha were infected, with the former's symptoms being less severe. Danzer attempted to care for Pha, using all the medicine and antibiotics he had available, but despite this Pha passed away. As he burned his partner's body the next morning, he was met by Dahlia, who had woken up from a fever-induced coma the day before. After providing her a brief explanation of the virus's effects on the settlement, Danzer went to sleep and woke up to Dahlia preparing to journey to the Masov Oasis in order to locate someone who could help the town. Danzer tried to persuade her against it at first, as that area was inhabited by the hated Sangheili, but eventually caved and allowed her access to a Mongoose quad bike and a M295 DMR|M295 Designated Marksman Rifle. The two parted ways, and Danzer continued to care for Dahlia's parents and rest in Sandholm. He most likely received medical assistance from the Surakan Militia Volunteers forces that later descended upon the town after Dahlia made contact with them.
Personality and traits Danzer is a stout man with a square jaw and pale hair. He and Pha lived by a philosophy of focusing on living for the future, a philosophy that they passed on to Dahlia. He also had a deep distrust and fear of aliens as a result of his experiences during the Human-Covenant War.

''Daowa-maad'', historically referred to as daowa-maadthu, was an ancient human philosophy.Halo: Primordium, ''page 55-56'' The term itself meant the "roll and tug of the universe"Halo: Cryptum, ''page 32'' and was also known as the "mantra of the broken wheel". Translated into the dialect spoken by Forerunner Builders, it meant roughly "You fall as your stresses crack you." It was an ancient teaching, originating from the time of Prehistoric human civilization|early humanity's spacefaring era and still remembered and followed by Erde-Tyrene civilization|humanity's subdued remnants as of Chakas's generation ten thousand years later.
The Ur-Didact|Didact cited the term in his last moments spent with the Librarian before his first exile in a Cryptum, equating it with the Mantle and its duty to observe the flow of Living Time; the Librarian was surprised by her husband, known for his hostility toward humanity, using such a phrase.Halo: Silentium, ''page 54'' The Forerunner IsoDidact|Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting learned the term from his ancilla, and the fact he knew it impressed Chakas and Riser, his two human guides on Earth|Erde-Tyrene.

Dark Moon Enterprises is a human private comprehensive security corporation that provides force-enhancement services throughout the human colonies.Halo: Fractures, ''A Necessary Truth'' It was covertly founded and run by the Forerunner archeon-class ancilla Intrepid Eye and her remote aspects as part of Intrepid Eye's plot to prepare humanity for the Mantle and along with humans, employs Jiralhanae and Kig-Yar at the very least.
History In 2553#September|September 2553, Dark Moon seemed to appear from nowhere with a list of prestigious clients and began hiring former UNSC personnel to provide security services in a broad spectrum of hostile environments. Within two weeks of its appearance, Dark Moon had grown so fast that they began hiring active-duty UNSC personnel; because of this the UNSC put them on the No Contact, No Access list. After this, Dark Moon began offering clients a menu of privatized intelligence and threat-management services and began to recruit both former and current Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI agents to fulfill its contracts. Even a month after its appearance ONI still had very little information on Dark Moon, not even knowing who its founder or company executives were. In reality, Dark Moon was founded by the archeon-class ancilla Intrepid Eye and her remote aspects and was one of Intrepid Eye's resources for her plan to prepare humanity for the Mantle.
In early October 2553, Dark Moon recruited Naval commander Ota Gallo, who began feeding information on the SPARTAN-III program to investigative journalist Spencer Hume in order to hurt ONI. It was believed that if the public discovered the nature of Gamma Company and ONI's cover-up regarding them, ONI would be crippled, leaving a power vacuum for Dark Moon to fill. On October 14, both Gallo and Hume were attempting to gather more intelligence on the Spartan-IIIs, targeting Olivia-G291 at the UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A where Olivia and her Ferret|Ferret Team were participating in a training exercise. However, Olivia was rescued by her team while Hume was killed by Mark-G313 when he resisted capture. The Ferrets, led by Veta Lopis, discovered Dark Moon's involvement by uncovering Gallo's identity and her connection to Dark Moon. To keep Gallo from escaping with information on the Spartan-IIIs, Veta and her team lured Gallo to their hotel suite with Hume's COM pad. Gallo attacked with two men but all three were killed.
In 2553#December|December 2553, while on the Keepers of the One Freedom's Salvation Base, Olivia discovered that a Turaco at the base belonged to Dark Moon from files on the ship though the ship's AI, in reality one of Intrepid Eye's remote aspects Argie, tried to deny it and then prevent Olivia from revealing that fact. The Dark Moon operatives were discovered to have dumped the bodies of Admiral Graselyn Tuwa's family in the base's detention center in an attempt to frame the Keepers for the assassination of the admiral and the kidnapping of her family. The Ferrets attempted to stop the operatives from escaping, causing Argie to attempt to eliminate them with the Turaco's turret before being stopped by Mark-G313, causing Argie to erase herself and the Turaco's navigation history. The two surviving operatives were captured by Castor as the Ferrets and Blue Team escaped in the Turaco just before Salvation Base was destroyed by six HAVOK tactical nuclear weapons.
With the recovery of the bodies, it was realized that Dark Moon was responsible for the assassinations and used what forensic evidence on the admiral's ship showed to be humans, Jiralhanae and some Kig-Yar to frame the Keepers. It was quickly realized that the Tuwa family were targeted for their immunity to asteroidea merozoite and that their organs had been used to culture cells containing asteroidea antibodies before being removed and stored in cryo-jars in order to create a bioweapon. Forensic evidence from the bodies led the Ferrets, Blue Team and the to a lab on Gao that was recently destroyed by Castor after torturing the captured Dark Moon operatives to death to learn where they had come from. Veta confronted President Arlo Casille who admitted to having made a deal with Dark Moon who promised to have the UNSC deal with his Keeper problem in exchange for use of the lab. Though Casille had known about Dark Moon holding the Tuwas there, he had sanctioned it rather than admit it and face a potential invasion. Dark Moon had kept their deal by moving the bodies to Salvation Base and drawing the UNSC's ire upon the Keepers, but in the process, attempted to pin the crime on both the Keepers and Gao. With the cryo-jars having already been removed, Casille pointed the Spartans towards Pinnacle Station above Meridian whose AI Sloan|Administrator Sloan had recommended Dark Moon to him.
At the same time, Intrepid Eye learned about the exposure of Dark Moon's operations and decided to sever all ties that could connect her to it. Intrepid Eye had the Dark Moon couriers take the cryo-jars to a hidden berth the company had paid for on Pinnacle Station in a Liang-Dortmund Corporation transport and sent Papa-10 and Lieutenant Bartalan Craddog to retrieve the cryo-jars and eliminate the couriers. Though they succeeded in killing the Dark Moon couriers, Papa-10 was attacked by surviving Keeper forces led by Castor, forcing the survivors of the unit to Meridian's surface. When the Ferrets and Blue Team arrived, Administrator Sloan assumed them to be connected to Papa-10 and directed them to the mine the unit had fled to. The Spartans were able to eliminate both the Keepers, minus Castor and Papa-10 and Craddog as well as destroy the cryo-jars and Intrepid Eye's remote aspect Oriel, foiling the bioweapon plot. However, Intrepid Eye was able to avoid discovery as the true mastermind and Craddog received all of the blame.
Dark Moon Enterprises was shut down by 2557#June|June 2557 as ONI had discovered Intrepid Eye's escape from containment and learned from their mistakes as they prepared to try to capture 343 Guilty Spark.''Halo: Renegades'', ''page 102'' After discovering her network, ONI released millions of dumb AI hunter-killer teams that ultimately overwhelmed even Intrepid Eye's prodigious capabilities and destroyed both her network and her remote aspects, leaving the ancilla trapped once more aboard ''Argent Moon''. She was eventually destroyed for good by the Ferrets and the in 2559#October|October 2559.

Captain Darren Leone is a former UNSC Navy officer and former acting captain of the downed military cargo tender, the .''Halo: Fractures'', ''Breaking Strain'' He became captain and commanding officer after a Covenant attack killed many among the command crew and forced the ship to ground itself on the Outer Colony, Losing Hand. After a crisis on the planet that almost brought his crew into conflict with its colonists, he decided to settle down long-term and give up his service in the UNSC.
Biography
After graduating from a naval academy, Darren eventually found himself serving as the helmsman of the . He had been marking off the months until his last tour would be over when the Human-Covenant War began. The war meant that he did not retire as he had planned, but instead went on to be part of many battles during the decades-long struggle. At some point, he came close to being killed by a Type-1 energy sword wielded by a Sangheili. At the tail end of the war, the ''Dark Was the Night'' was part of a chain of vessels responsible for taking the Spartan-III super-soldier, Kevin-A282, back to Earth. The last transmission from command received by the ship stated that Reach had Fall of Reach|fallen. The ''Dark Was the Night'' then came under fire from the Covenant and was forced to make an emergency slipspace jump. Kevin saved Darren's life at that time by hauling him to safety when an airlock was blown open during the violence. Although the ship got away, it sustained catastrophic damage, and it wasn't long before a death spiral of critical malfunctions, including the loss of Rosarita|its A.I, put the lives of everyone onboard in danger. Darren took control of piloting the vessel and managed to crash-land it on the Outer Colony world of Losing Hand. Impressively, he avoided putting it in the ocean or flattening it against a chain of mountains. The ship touched down on a landing strip, but in the process the wind farm providing a nearby township with power was destroyed. The cargo tender's long-range communication capability and its drives were irreparably broken amidst all of this. The ''Dark Was the Nights command crew had been gutted in the wake of the attack and subsequent struggles, leaving Darren to take over as captain. One of his first decisions was to make First Lieutenant Maher his executive officer. He also gradually slackened the rules as far as disciplinary matters were concerned, given the crew's situation. To make up for the loss of the colony's source of power, Darren worked out a deal with the colonists whereby the cargo tender's power core, powered through solar energy, could provide heat and light to the town in exchange for a steady supply of food for his crew. In addition, when the UNSC personnel put a drone satellite into orbit, Darren agreed to allow the civilians unfettered access to it. A month after their landing on the planet, Kevin wandered off on his own and when Darren sent people to find him, they were unable to.
After spending almost a year on Losing Hand, relations between the UNSC personnel and the colonists were still uneasy. At one point, an unintentional blackout resulted from an overload of the power system. Evidently believing that it had not been accidental, the colonists responded with a load of fish a few days later that was half contaminated with fuel oil. They claimed, of course, that the contamination was unintentional. One night, a few weeks after these events, a fight broke out. The next morning, First Lt. Maher woke Captain Leone to inform him of some vandalism done to the side of the ship. Upon viewing an image of the writing, Darren recognized the writing and told Maher he would handle it. He also instructed him to ensure that the point-defense cupola nearest to the damage was powered up so that, although unable to fire, it could still track targets and deter anyone from getting too close. Maher also made sure to let his captain know about the return of an issue they had been having with their power core that resulted from solar flares overcharging it. Just then, Aoife Larsson, a colonist who had spent the night in their brig after last night's fight, was escorted to Leone. Darren made light of the drunken state she had been in and offered to take her back to her brother, Ryan Larsson|Ryan. He, Aoife, and the UNSC Marine Corps|marine escort, Sergeant Robertson, piled into a Warthog and set out for town. As he drove through the rain, he questioned Aoife. She responded with hostility, and boldly expressed the misgivings she and many others shared concerning the prolonged presence of the UNSC on their planet. Darren was forced to admit that he couldn't know how long it would be until the UNSC found them, if it even still existed, given how the war had been going. He stopped the Warthog outside the town hall where six men, including Ryan Larsson, were glaring at him and Robertson. Ryan mocked Captain Leone's attempts to act as some kind of law enforcement and let the two men know their welcome was wearing thin. Darren said he was only returning his sister but also threatened that there would be consequences for the next person to paint on the side of his ship. He then found himself launching into an impassioned appeal to their common survival on the world, in which he berated Ryan's short-sightedness and bitching, as he put it. At that, Ryan plainly stated that it might be time for the colonists to take the ''Dark Was the Night'' for themselves so they wouldn't actually need any of its crew anymore. Before the conversation could escalate further, Aoife came running out to Ryan, having gone inside the hall after exiting the Warthog earlier. As she communicated clearly grim news to him, Darren also got a call from Lt. Maher.
As it turned out, both Ryan and Darren were learning the same thing: the drone satellite's sensors had detected a ship on an intercept course with the colony. Though it was broadcasting an old UNSC recognition code that announced an intention to land, it was clearly a Covenant . Aghast at this development, Ryan blamed the UNSC for bringing this apparent doom on them. Later that night, both colonists and crew from the ''Dark was the Night'' gathered at the town hall to try to figure out what to do about the predicament they all suddenly found themselves sharing in. At its start, it was announced that the Covenant ship would be upon them in just eighty-one hours. Darren attempted to calm fears by stating that they couldn't be sure of its intentions, especially given the fact that it was announcing its arrival and broadcasting a seemingly peaceful signal. He did assure everyone, however, that if''' a conflict was to be had, he would stand and fight back along with them. Eventually, to his disappointment, Darren had to walk out of the meeting because it had devolved into loud chest-beating and he needed to think. He wandered away from the hall and sat down on the fender of an M274 Mongoose. Sergeant Robertson and a couple of noncoms, Denton and Wild, found him to ask if he had a plan. All he could tell them was that he was working on it. A short time later, he was joined by Aoife Larsson, who offered him a drink. The two talked and Aoife revealed that her brother and others were going to use the encroachment of the Covenant vessel as an excuse for insurrection. Darren admitted that he and his people were as scared as everyone else and emphasized to her that people on both sides would be killed if anyone did anything stupid. When Aoife asked about his experience fighting the Covenant, he thought of the Spartan, Kevin-A282, and resolved to find him.
At dawn Captain Leone and Sergeant Robertson set out along the coast in a Warthog to a place that Kevin had last been sighted. When Robertson suggested noted that a lot in the crew saw the Spartan as a deserter, Darren told him to stow any talk like that. They found a shelter built from driftwood and old tarps at a hollow in some cliffs high above the ground, but Kevin was seemingly nowhere to be found. However, he was suddenly standing at their Warthog when they turned around to return to it. They asked him what he was doing out here, to which he replied, "Keeping watch". Robertson antagonized him by accusing him of being a burnout and Darren was forced to yell at Kevin to stand down when it looked as if he might hurt the sergeant. He diffused the situation by sharing why they had sought him outthe Covenant corvette. Kevin was as perplexed as anyone, but he declined the request to come back to town and perhaps inspire courage among the frightened. He cautioned that such an environment would not be optimal for him to be in and that his presence could cause people to get hurt. As they drove back to their ship, Robertson let his captain know he was not only angry at the Spartan but disappointed in Leone as well for not trying harder to force him to follow orders. Darren stated that Kevin was only any good to them if he chose to help. Before they could make it back a call came from Lt. Maher alerting them that the had increased its acceleration and would be there that night. Turning into the cargo bay of the cargo tender, they were met by Lieutenant Maher, who informed them that the satellite drone had gone dark, possibly because it had entered shutdown mode to weather the solar flares. Corporal Douglas (corporal)|Douglas came sprinting into the bay with news that over twenty colonists, many of them armed, were on their way to where the ''Dark Was the Night'' was grounded. Against the judgment of Robertson, Darren decided to go and try to talk to them alone. He soon determined that more were a ''lot'' more than twenty angry people approaching. At the head of the crowd, unsurprisingly, was Ryan Larsson. One older woman in the crowd, Babs, demanded to know why the cannons on the ship were obviously not up and running. Darren finally had no choice but to concede that the weapons had never worked during the entire time they had been there. At this news, Ryan showed signs of denial, since the weaponry on the ''Dark Was the Night'' had been thought to be the only chance against the imminent Covenant aggression. Darren pleaded for everyone to return home before anything spun out of control and in anger, Ryan smacked him across the face with the butt of his shotgun. As he fell to the ground, UNSC UNSC Marine Corps|marines spilled out onto the field with guns raised. Captain Leone shouted for them to stand down and made yet another appeal to unity before being hit in the face once again. Before anything further could happen, however, the shotgun was shattered by the impact of an armor-piercing 14.5114mm round discharged from an SRS99 series|SR99 sniper rifle a quarter of a mile away. The sniper, none other than Kevin-A282, jogged toward Darren and Ryan. Ryan looked to his fellow colonists for further support and attempted to incite them even further, but his words fell on deaf ears. His sister, Aoife, begged him to see reason and stated that they could't afford to fight each other, which Darren voiced agreement with. But just then, the clouds above grew bright and parted as the ship they had feared made its presence known.
Darren's first instinct was to rush to join a skirmish line that was forming among the marines, but Kevin put a hand on his shoulder to stop him. The Lookout|The ship landed and everyone watched as Yar 'Dosaan|a single Sangheili, emerged and was followed by Slight List|a Huragok. Darren found himself having to explain what a Huragok was to Aoife as to their surprise, a human also exited the vessel. Kyle Stallock|He asked who was in charge and both Darren and the Larsson siblings walked forward. Darren introduced himself, the siblings, and Kevin to the man in UNSC battle armor, all the while utterly confused as to what was going on. The man, major Kyle Stallock, gladly briefed everyone concerning the Great Schism|recent events that had led to the end of the Covenant and the war. Over the next two weeks, the ''Dark Was the Night'' was gutted of anything useful so it could be split between the nearby town and the crew of the corvette, named ''The Lookout''. The cargo tender was to become a permanent source of power for the colony. As for Darren, even though most of his crew had agreed to leave aboard ''The Lookout'' and even some colonists, he decided to remain on Losing Hand. He justified this choice to Aoife by saying that he had originally signed up to protect people and that Losing Hand needed people to protect it, at least until things quieted down. He also joked to her that he would need a badge, given Ryan's frequent accusations that he had been attempting to act as a sheriff of sorts.
Personality and traits As of the important events of 2553, Darren had grown a graying beard. His fingers were permanently scarred from frostbite he sustained when the Spartan had to drag him through freezing decompression. His shoulder bore a livid scar received after he suffered a glancing blow from en energy sword. The memory of being cut sometimes came flooding back to him unbidden.
Darren knew that the noncoms he served with had never really respected him. He was generally seen, and not inaccurately, as a makeweight officer who had been marking time before cashing out. That was before the Covenant attacked humanity and he was forced to adapt, however. When he first took over the captaincy of the ''Dark Was the Night'', Darren tried to solve all the problems the ship and crew faced partially out of guilt but also out of a sense of responsibility to do so and a dedication to the ideals of the UNSC. As time wore on, however, he found himself doing things simply because someone had to. His work caused him to lack sleep often and he was constantly fatigued. Having never wanted the responsibilities that were now his, he felt as if he was carrying the weight of the whole ship on his shoulders. He was able to bury his raw fear and panic at the back of his mind, but it eventually came out when he saw ''The Lookout'' descending. Sometimes Darren found himself thinking of a niece he had back on Ixion that he barely knew thanks to his work. He took pride in the ship that was under his command and damage done to it angered him. When it was finally certain that it would never fly again, he couldn't help but feel regret. He could be easily annoyed by what he perceived to be an inability of the civilians on Losing Hand to understand what the ship meant to those that arrived on it. He perceived many of them as being unable to see a larger picture. Their world was all they really knew and they were blind to larger conflicts and causes. Despite his dedication, Darren still usually felt like an imposter in his position. The crash weighed heavily on him and he thought about it every day. When the colony was faced with the threat of annihilation via Covenant corvette, Darren was surprised that he had been mistaken about how he had been dividing people. Those that let anger, panic, and doubt consume them were numbered among Losing Hand's colonists and his own people, just as both groups also had those who met the problem with resolute defiance. When colonists were offered a chance at leaving their home, he was surprised more didn't take it, even though he himself had grown attached to the colony in a short time. He even began to develop a taste for the local liquor.
Equipment and Dress Darren typically wore his green naval uniform, emblazoned with the UNSC crest, and donned a hooded heavy weather parka when it was necessary. He kept a radio on his person and carried an M6 series|M6 magnum on his hip.

Dasc Gevadim was a false human spiritual guru, and founder of Triad, a Religion|belief system that taught that every human had three lives, and that spiritual transcendence occurred only when you could link all three.
Biography
Gevadim was popular throughout the United Nations Space Command|UNSC's remaining colonies, running seminars through public channels, but disappeared in 2542. His followers believed that he had managed to attain the ascension he proclaimed was possible, and his followers increased exponentially, inspired by the "ascension." In truth, Gevadim had exiled himself to Beta Gabriel, a barely inhabited and overlooked world in the Epsilon Eridani system, to fool his followers and increase their numbers and devotion. During the Fall of Reach|invasion of the system 2552|ten years later, Gevadim was one of many human occupants rounded up by a Jiralhanae pack, intending to use them as prey in their hunts for sport. Connor Brien managed to stage an escape during an internal dispute within the pack, and though he and Gevadim were the only survivors, Gevadim subsequently shot Brien so that neither could leave the planet, and his followers would not know that he still lived, retaining their faith. Gevadim was present as the calypso-class exfiltration craft|exfiltration craft touched down, deploying Marines to wipe out the Jiralhanae survivors, but he made no attempt to contact them, remaining on Beta Gabriel, feeling completely forlorn.Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe, "Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss"
In 2558, while Gevadim was still seen as transcended, his followers still believed in the Triad and preached his words, and were public with their opinions on social media sites.https://twitter.com/OurThreeLives In late 2558, Gevadim resurfaced in Waypoint, claiming that he had "willed himself" back to the physical realm in order to "illuminate" his followers about the spiritual ascendance the recent appearance of the Guardians on several human colonies would supposedly bring about. Gevadim and his followers were on Laika III waiting for the Guardian to rise when they encountered a crashed ship with Maya Sankar and Mshak Moradi aboard and unconscious. Gevadim had his followers take them to their encampment and kept them separated. Knowing that Sankar was FERO, Gevadim had her taken to be evaluated on what she knew about him. Gevadim explained that he saw her arrival as a sign of the inevitable event that would bring about "transcendence". Sankar unconvinced, threatened to tear their camp apart if she did not see her friends. Gevadim allowed Sankar and Moradi to reunite but not after saying he would aid her "ascending". As the event was about to begin, Gevadim brought all of his followers together to one spot and allowed Sankar and Moradi to witness it. Gevadim and his followers began to levitate due to the Guardian manipulating the gravity as it was rising. Gevadim then proclaimed to his followers that "the end" was upon them all.

In Jiralhanae society, a ''daskalo'' serves as a rough equivalent to the human concept of a mentor figure. ''Daskalo''s generally guide their younger charges throughout the early years of their life and career, forming an extremely strong bond between the two that can last a lifetime. Within Banished, the War Chief Escharum served as ''daskalo'' to Atriox during the latter's nascent rebellion against the Covenant, ultimately working under Atriox as one of the Warmaster's most trusted advisors and commanders - later taking charge of the Banished Battle for Zeta Halo|war on Installation 07 in the wake of Atriox's believed death.
The War Chief Decimus served as ''daskalo'' in a similar fashion to the Warlord Pavium during the Second Ark Conflict. Following Decimus' death, Pavium and Clan of the Long Shields|his clan were put under scrutiny from Atriox, who began to test Pavium's aptitude for leadership and potential promotion - ultimately leading to an Outbreak on Installation 00|outbreak of the Flood on Installation 00|the Ark just months later.
