'''Kip Silas''' | '''Kip Silas''' in an engineer serving aboard the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'', a heavily-modified {{Class|Mariner|transport ship}} captained by [[Rion Forge]]. He is the newest hire to join the ship's small crew.<ref name="ItF"/> | ||
==Biography== | ==Biography== | ||
Even as a child, Kip loved spacecraft. He had a models of {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}}s and only dreamed that he would ever get to see one up close one day. Like many others, he lost people he cared about during the [[Human-Covenant War|war]] with the [[Covenant]]. Prior to being hired by [[Captain]] Forge in the last weeks or months of [[2556]], he did conducted extensive research on she and her ship. Unbeknownst to Kip, she did even more research of him. When the time did come for a role on the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' to be offered and accepted, Rion made sure to clearly state the rules that would govern how they salvaged: There was to be smuggling of any kind and no sales of large arms or WMDs.<ref name="ItF"/> | |||
In January of [[2557]], after having been out on a specific job for the past six weeks, the crew of the ''Ace of Spades'' returned to [[New Tyne]], [[Venezia]] for less than a day. Kip and the others dared to think that they were due for some rest and relaxation, but after valuable intel was offered to Rion, that idea shattered quickly. Kip accompanied Rion and [[Lessa]] to meetings with [[Nor Fel]] and [[Rouse]], at [[Nor Fel's clearing house]] and [[Tiny Birds]], respectively. Both individuals were instrumental in the acquisition of the location of a ship of unknown class or design, which was in reality what remained of the {{UNSCship|Roman Blue}}. Having secured this data, the three made their way to the [[New Tyne Airfield]] where their ship and the rest of the crew waited. During a discussion about the possible finds that might await them at their destination, Kip revealed himself to be uncomfortable with operating outside the strict parameters set forth by the [[UNSC Salvage Directive]]. The others reassured him that the [[United Nations Space Command]] couldn't afford to waste time on salvagers like them and Rion reminded him that there were still moral precepts the crew adhered to in spite of breaking a law or two when the situation called for it.<ref name="ItF"/> | |||
Upon arriving at [[Eiro]], the moon of [[Chi Rho]] in the [[Ectanus 45 system]], Kip needed to be shown by the others both how to link the [[heads-up display]] of his helmet and communications to theirs, as well as how to activate the [[antigravity plate]]s on the carts used for collecting salvage. Thanks to Kip's expertise, the ''Roman Blue'' was instantly identified as a {{Class|Halcyon|light cruiser}}. Captain forge split the crew up to investiagte different parts of the wreckage, with she and Kip heading for the bridge. It took them forty-five minutes and they had to backtrack numerous times before finally arriving. After [[Niko]] reported [[cryo chamber]]s that could be scavenged in the ship's cryo bay, Rion sent Kip to assist him. Before long, ordinance rocked the vessel as unknown assailants fired upon it.<ref name="ItF"/> | |||
==Personality and Traits== | |||
Kip Silas is a muscular man with a well-built frame. He is calm and easy-going. Most notably, he has been likened to a "walking data chip of every class of ship in the known universe". This knowledge makes him a great engineer. From an ethical perspective, Kip is very concerned with doing things carefully and correctly. He does not want to break the law if it is unnecessary, and he shows genuine concern for people he has never met that could be affected by his actions. Despite his reservations, he is drawn to adventure and discovery. Rion Forge is happy with his addition to her crew, and the two of them have been known to share smiles with one another at times at the expense of other crew members. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
Kip Silas' name is eerily similar to [[Silas Kipley]]'s. Silas Kipley is a forensics expert for the [[Sedran Colonial Guard]].<ref>'''[[Halo Channel]]''', ''Cooperative Protocol''</ref> | |||
