On the morning of [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], Kilo and Echo teams of the 340th CTU provided a mock combat exercise to test a suit of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI MJOLNIR armor]] in Seongnam. [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[Maria-062]], who wore the armor, deployed from low [[Earth]] orbit via a [[parafoil]] and launched a sudden attack on the ODSTs. She was able to neutralize six ODST trainers with [[paint pellet gun]]s, paint grenades, and hand-to-hand combat. However, as she entered structure Alpha-Two, she was quickly subdued by another group of ODSTS. Later that day, the armor was delivered to [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]] only minutes before the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant's]] [[Battle of Earth|invasion of Earth]].<ref name="AT"/> | |||
