Spartan Lucy-B091, born Lucy Williams,[1] is a Spartan-III supersoldier of Beta Company. One of the two survivors of the disastrous Operation: TORPEDO, she suffered from posttraumatic vocal disarticulation for years as a result of witnessing her unit's destruction.[3] She and her fellow Beta Company survivor Tom-B292 subsequently served as Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose's aides and trainers for SPARTAN-III Gamma Company and fought in the Onyx Conflict in late 2552.[5] After a stint of service in the field as members of Blue Team, Lucy and Tom took up instructor duties in the new Spartan Operations branch, before moving on to serve as security for the Onyx United Research Project in 2554.
Biography[edit]
Childhood and training[edit]
- "Nuts to this."
- — An impatient Lucy preparing to charge a set of gun turrets head-on rather than wait to come up with a plan during a training exercise[7]
Lucy Williams was born on the human colony of Kholo on January 28, 2533.[1][2] During her childhood, Lucy's family had a pet cat.[8] She would also later recall a faint memory of a horse.[9] At some point during her childhood, Lucy was orphaned, likely during the Covenant's glassing of her homeworld in 2539.[10] In 2539 or early 2540,[6][1][Note 2] Lucy was offered to join the SPARTAN-III program to get revenge on the Covenant. Distraught, she accepted the offer and was initiated into Beta Company.[3]
She was trained by Lieutenant Commander Kurt Ambrose and Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez at Camp Currahee on Onyx for six years. Lucy—along with Adam-B004, Min-B174, and Tom-B292—became Team Foxtrot, one of the organized Spartan-III combat teams in Beta Company.[3] On August 24, 2541, Lucy and the rest of Team Foxtrot participated in one of a series of exercises meant to filter out extra candidates the program lacked funds to train. Lucy and Tom appropriated automated M202 XP machine guns and with the help of the rest of their team, completed the objective. However, they continued to ambush several waves of their instructors before being forced to stand down by Chief Mendez and Lieutenant Commander Ambrose. Kurt commended them for their actions and they were accepted for further training and eventually Spartan augmentation.[7]
Operation: TORPEDO[edit]
- "How are you sure we're alive?"
- — Lucy's last words to Tom, until 2553[3]
On July 3, 2545, Lucy and the rest of Beta Company were sent on Operation: TORPEDO to destroy a Covenant refinery on Pegasi Delta, a natural satellite of 51 Pegasi B in the 51 Pegasi system.[3] Before the mission, Lieutenant Commander Ambrose had intended for Lucy and SPARTAN-B170 to be deployed in advance for long-term reconnaissance, though this attempt ultimately failed and she was sent in along with the main assault force.[11] The majority of the company was killed before reaching the refinery, but Team Foxtrot managed to get to the refinery's reactor core. They destroyed the reactor, and only Lucy and Tom managed to survive by jumping into the ocean nearby, sparing them from the immense heat. After a failed search for survivors, they escaped the moon aboard a Black Cat-class subprowler.[3]
Although the mission ended up as a 'success', only Lucy and Tom survived the battle. Adam and Min never made it, killed by the Covenant and a reactor, respectively. Lucy, traumatized by the incident, was diagnosed with posttraumatic vocal disarticulation, rendering her unable to speak.[3] Because of this, she was to be classified as "unfit for duty," and reassigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence's psych branch for "psychological evaluation". Kurt Ambrose rescued her from this fate, along with Tom, convincing Vice Admiral Margaret Parangosky that he needed Spartan-IIIs to train the next company of Spartans. Over the next several years, Lucy and Tom became Kurt's adjutants and were instrumental in the training of the third generation of Spartan-IIIs, Gamma Company. They stayed at Camp Currahee and helped in the training until 2552. By early 2551, Lucy and Tom held the rank of Petty Officer Second Class. In February 2551, they accompanied Kurt aboard UNSC Hopeful to oversee Gamma Company's augmentations. By then they had recently spent significant time in microgravity which was noticeable from their gaits. Kurt noted that she and Tom had spent so much time in their Semi-Powered Infiltration armor armor he had difficulty recognizing them without the suits on.[5]
Onyx Conflict[edit]
- "You two didn't survive Pegasi Delta to die here. There's too much left for you to do."
- — Kurt Ambrose convincing Lucy and Tom to leave him[12]
