Jameson Locke: Difference between revisions

During the journey through [[slipspace]] in the Condor, Locke allowed Aiken to take tactical command of the mission. Locke also revealed to [[Talitha Macer|Private Talitha Macer]] that Colonel Aiken was once a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]]. Eventually, the crew arrived at their destination and landed on the Halo shard's surface. Donning their [[Powered exoskeleton|powered]] [[Nightfall armor]], the Locke and the other three ONI operators jumped out of the Condor at a significant height. After discovering the abandoned tug used by the smugglers, the team discovered horse tracks nearby. The team moved to the tracks' direction and come across two smugglers—[[Arris Le]] and [[Haisal Wari]]—mining the element in a cave. The smugglers attempted to escape but Locke and Horrigan quickly incapacitated and [[Physical restraints|restrained]] the smugglers. The group began to return to the Condor for extraction; however, while the [[dropship]] was setting down, a large number of [[Lekgolo]] appeared and began to swarm over the Condor and it flew off erratically—now controlled by the Lekgolo. As more of the Lekgolo eels appeared, Locke ordered for the group to retreat as three of the Sedrans and the horses were killed. The Lekgolo, in large gestalt formations, began to pursue the group who escaped into a narrow crevice. Locke used a special appliance to [[Holography|holographically]] camouflage their position from the aliens. However, the Lekgolo quickly sensed the cloaking unit and destroyed it. As the eels closed in on the group, Arris revealed that the Lekgolo can sense active technology and movement, prompting the group to reluctantly shut down the electronics present in their equipment. Unable to detect the humans, most of the Lekgolo left the area and the nine survivors moved out of the crevice. Locke briefly stayed behind to observe a lone Lekgolo worm, before crushing it in his fist.<ref name="nightfall2">'''Halo: Nightfall''', ''Chapter 2''</ref>
