ONI Security Protocol 1A

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

ONI.SEC.PRTCL.1A[1], or ONI Protocol A1,[2] is an Office of Naval Intelligence security protocol that restricts certain classified files and documents, or cancels searches for classified material.

In 2525 the protocol was triggered by Doctor Catherine Halsey, head of the SPARTAN-II program. The protocol did not prevent her from accessing ONI Colonial Security Estimate 2525.10.110—the last recorded message of Harvest's Agricultural AI Mack, but did warn that her queries would be logged.[2]

During the Battle of Earth in October 2552, the Urban Infrastructure AI of the city of New Mombasa, the Superintendent, logged a single M8900 drop pod crash into the city. It attempted to identify the object, checking first the New Mombasa Police Department records, and then attempted to access the UNSC files, but its search was halted by ONI.SEC.PRTCL.1A,[1] presumably due to its status as a civilian AI rather than a military one. During the battle the protocol was also triggered by ONI Section One Captain Veronica Dare, who used her access to trawl the Classified Signals Archive for information on the Superintendent and the Huragok Quick to Adjust.[3] An exchange between Dare and the admiral in charge of the heavy cruiser UNSC Say My Name was also covered by the protocol within the Tactical Operations Logistics Database.[4]
