'''COALMINER''' is the alias of an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] operative involved in highly classified missions, namely [[Operation: HYPODERMIC]]. Given their rather frequent correspondence, COALMINER's handler may be [[Codename: SURGEON]].


==Biography==
'''Codename: COALMINER''' is an [[ONI]] operative.
===Human-Covenant War===
COALMINER's earliest known activity was in [[2532]]. In [[AUTOMATED REROUTE UNSC SHIP REG-96667 ABY|a message]] to Codename: SURGEON concerning the [[SPARTAN-III Program]], COALMINER noted the early stages of preparing [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company|Alpha Company]] were progressing satisfactorily and expressed confidence in [[Kurt-051]]'s training regimen.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', "chapter 7"</ref>


In [[2552]], COALMINER detected an intrusion into the ONI databases at [[Reach]]. While COALMINER failed to identify the intruder, the intrusion threatened to compromise HYPODERMIC. COALMINER informed SURGEON of the breach and deleted the {{UNSCShip|Circumference}} from ''[[Gamma Station]]'''s database to minimize the damage.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''pages 281-282''</ref>
In [[2552]], COALMINER was involved in the classified project [[Operation: HYPODERMIC]]. COALMINER detected an intrusion, but not the identity of the [[Cortana|intruder]], which the intruder went in the [[ONI]] database which threatened to compromise [[HYPODERMIC]]. COALMINER then informed [[Codename: SURGEON]] of the security breach. To minimize the damage COALMINER deleted the {{UNSCShip|Circumference}} from the database of [[Reach Station Gamma]].<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]], pages 281-282</ref>


This caused difficulties during the latter stages of the [[Fall of Reach]], as it prevented the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Doppler]] from erasing the ''Circumference'''s NAV database in accordance with the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]]. A [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] team was deployed to destroy the ship and suffered casualties in the process. In an indirect manner, this lapse in security inadvertently saved humanity: in the wake of the [[Space battle over Reach|mission to]] [[Gamma Station]], [[John-117]] traveled to [[Halo Array|Halo]] [[Installation 04]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, which set about the final stages of the Human-Covenant War.
COALMINER is also mentioned in Ghosts of Oynx and could be a ONI opertive ssigned to Oynx and then reassigned to Reach in time for the First Battle of Reach.


=== Post-war ===
This would cause difficulties later during the [[Battle of Reach]] as it prevented the [[AI]], [[Doppler]], from erasing the ''Circumference''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s NAV database as per the [[Cole Protocol]], and requiring a [[SPARTAN-II]] team to destroy the ship, and the team suffered casualties in the process.
At some point in the post-war era, COALMINER received [[Eleventh Hour reports|a series of five reports]] from SURGEON discussing the state of the post-war galaxy.
