| | '''Emerald Cove''' was a [[UNSC]] colony world. During their training, the [[Spartans]] were sent on an underwater mission with [[Chief Petty Officer Mendez]]. Mendez sabotaged half of the Spartan's air tanks, so they stole his. They then ditched him and camped out on an island for a week, with nothing to do but light bonfires, bake clams, and surf. It was a good memory they all enjoyed sharing. |
