Revision as of 23:24, November 7, 2009

The Babysitter is one of the seven short films comprising the anime adaptation of the Halo universe, Halo Legends ^[1]^[2]. Babysitter focuses on the rivalry between the SPARTAN-II Commandos and the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers.

The first preview of Legends and Babysitter was revealed on September 17th, 2009 during Spike TV's GTTV Presents "Halo 3: ODST" Countdown to Launch ^[3]. The Babysitter was released on November 7th, 2009 for a limited time on Halo Waypoint.

Summary

A squad of four ODSTs are sent on a mission to eliminate a key Covenant Prophet on a distant planet.

However, they are accompanied by Spartan Cal-141, who is the commanding officer for this mission. To the frustration of the squad, the Spartan is the one carrying out the assassination, delegating their own sniper, O'Brian, to backup. On the drop down, one of the four ODSTs, Checkman, bumps into an asteroid and crashes down on earth, which kills him. The remaining soldiers march across the terrian of an unknown Covenant-held world and battle a blue armored Brute Chieftain. The Chieftain strikes Cal-141 after trying to kill O'Brian. Together, the three tackle the Brute to the ground, where Dutch kills it. They then remove the helmet of the injured Spartan-II, revealing that Cal-141 is female. O'Brian takes Cal-141's sniper rifle and kills the Unknown Prophet.
