Gamma Probe

Gamma Probe is a generic UNSC term referring to one of the Slipstream Space probes used by Remote Scanning Outposts. It sends out radio pings and analyzes the spectrum from radio to X-ray. The Gamma Probe, like all probes used by the RSOs, is designed to be able to survive the transition from Slipspace to normal space in order to collect data.

The Gamma Probe of the Archimedes, directly before the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV reported the same findings as Alpha Probe and Beta Probe. It suggested the object's trajectory was parabolic, and would pass through Sigma Octanus IV.

On August 30, 2552, after the Alpha and Beta probes of the RSO Fermion in the Epsilon Eridani System detected the incoming Fleet of Particular Justice, the station's Gamma Probe did not transmit a signal upon returning to normal space. Lieutenant Brightling suspected that the probe may have translated on a temporal axis, but CPO McRobb knew better; the probe was likely destroyed or jammed by the incoming Covenant fleet.
