Bonita Stone, callsign Shadow Three,[6][7] was a SPARTAN-IV reconnaissance specialist of Fireteam Shadow in the United Nations Space Command.[2][8][9]
Biography[edit]
Early life and UNSC service[edit]
Bonita Stone was born on the human Outer Colony of Komoya on December 25, 2535. She would eventually enlist in the UNSC, serving with distinction on the stealth cruiser UNSC Relentless Watch in 2550,[Note 1] where she met Nina Kovan; the two would later go on to serve in Fireteam Shadow together.[10] Here, Stone coordinated the efforts of several reconnaissance strike teams deployed to key areas of interest and unrest following the Human-Covenant War. This experience led directly to her assignment to Fireteam Shadow after her induction into the SPARTAN-IV program.[1] After joining the program, Stone and Kovan ran trials and tested HIVEMIND-class Mjolnir at Anvil Station.[9] During an operation on Talitsa, she notably monitored the activities of a Sangheili Zealot for six days.[11]
Battle of Requiem[edit]
- Main article: Battle of Requiem
On July 21, 2557, Fireteam Shadow was attached to the UNSC Infinity when the ship was pulled into the shield world Requiem. Following the ship's crash inside the shield world, Fireteam Shadow, including Stone,[12] was deployed to the flight deck to investigate movements detected outside the ship. The Spartans could not see what was causing the reports of movement outside the ship, but reported that they were experiencing technical difficulties.[13] Shortly after, the Infinity was attacked by the combined forces of Jul 'Mdama's Covenant and the Didact's Prometheans.[14]
Requiem Campaign[edit]
- Main article: Operation: VERTICAL UMBRAGE
On February 14, 2558, Stone and the rest of Fireteam Shadow were dispatched to the Requiem shield world to neutralize a Covenant base established two days earlier. After Stone eliminated patrols around the site, Jason Kidman's TQ-8 seeker drones were to create a breach allowing Stone and Horatio Fry to break into the base to shut down production. However, in the midst of the operation, Jared Miller reassigned the team on a priority operation to destroy the Covenant Zanar-pattern light cruiser Panom's Canticle, which was deploying forces to "The Refuge".[8] Being too far from their Pelican, Shadow stole a Phantom from the Summit to get there.[6]
While Fireteam Crimson protected the science team from the Covenant ground forces at "The Refuge", Shadow took advantage of the stolen Phantom to rush into the Panom's Canticle hangar before the crew activated the shields. Shadow made rapid progress through the ship, but encountered heavy resistance as they approached the core. As Fry, Kovan, and Kidman cleared out the last Covenant soldiers in the hallway leading to the main reactor room, Stone had already infiltrated there, armed with her active camouflage. While Stone fought the shipmaster and his Sangheili, Kovan fired her Selene's Lance at the ship's power core. With the power core overloaded, the cruiser was destroyed, bringing an end to the Covenant's attack. Stone and the rest of Shadow escaped onboard a Gloto'kef-pattern assault carapace.<
