At some point, she and Dutch developed a romantic relationship and later married. Gretchen enjoyed fighting, to the extent that she actually laughed in the midst of combat.

Before the [[Battle of Ariel]] in [[2552#January|January 2552]], she was still confined planetside because of her injury. She sent a message to Dutch, in which she informed him that there was an open position in a motor pool, and suggested that he should accept it.<ref name="is1"/> By October 2552, though she was looking forward to return to active service, the doctors predicted she would be confined to non-combat duties for the rest of her career.<ref name= "oni">'''[[Halo 3: ODST Pre-mission Evaluation]]''' ''- Dutch Interview''</ref> However, by [[2553]], she eventually retired from service.

In [[2558]], Dutch and Gretchen unexpectedly resurfaced during the [[Created conflict]] when Buck, Romeo, Dare, [[Quick to Adjust|Vergil]] and [[Sadie Endesha]] visited the [[Spartan-IV training station]] to break out [[Michael Crespo|Mickey Crespo]]. After Buck was declared a rogue Spartan by the AI [[Leonidas]], in reality a rogue AI loyal to the [[Created]], Dutch and Gretchen came to his aid and explained that after Gretchen was given a new prosthetic, they had joined the [[SPARTAN-IV program]], having not told their friends in case the prosthetic didn't work. Dutch and Gretchen joined the reformed [[Alpha-Nine]] as they fled the station in a [[Condor]] to undertake a secret ONI mission.<ref>'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]'''</ref> | |||
