She was stationed at the [[UNSC]] [[Crow's Nest (Base)|Crow's Nest]] base, until the base came under heavy Covenant attack.  She was instrumental in evacuating the rest of the survivors of the attack to the Human [[frigate]] ''[[ UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]''.  Hocus was the pilot of Pelican dropship [[Kilo 023]]. When flying from Crow's Nest, the pilot assisted in extracting the [[Master Chief]], who was pinned down by a couple of [[Phantoms]] after rescuing [[Sergeant Johnson]] and a squad of captured [[Marines]]. Hocus participated in numerous ground insertions during the Battle of the [[Installation 00|Ark]], including a mission to deactivate the barriers of the [[Installation 00|Ark]]'s [[Control Room]].
