| '''Operation: HOURGLASS''' was a military [[operation]] undertaken by the [[United Nations Space Command]] (UNSC) during the [[Created conflict]].{{Ref/Audio|Id=MA1|HIMA|Chapter 1: Operation Hourglass}} The mission was conducted in late [[2559]] shortly before [[Operation: WOLFE]], which itself took place between October 7-12,{{Ref/NoteReuse|Date}} and involved an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] (ONI) intelligence delivery to [[John-117]]. The mission also involved field-testing for the Spartan's then-new [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor (GEN3)|GEN3 MJOLNIR armour]],{{Ref/Reuse|MA6}} which he had acquired from [[Perihelion Station]] on September 21.{{Ref/Novel|Halo: From the Soil to the Stars}}{{Ref/Site|Id=CFTomes|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/canon-fodder-tasty-tomes|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Tasty Tomes|D=24|M=03|Y=2025}} | | '''Operation: HOURGLASS''' was an operation undertaken by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] during the [[Created conflict]].{{Ref/Generic|[[Halo Infinite: Memory Agent]]}} |

Due to the need for information compartmentalisation from the [[Created]], as per the [[Cole Protocol]], ONI chose their agent [[Lieutenant]] [[Parisa]] for the task due to the agent's unique form of memory loss - which caused Parisa to have near-perfect recollection for around [[seven]] hours before proceeding to forget nearly everything she'd learnt during that time. To deliver the encryption key, Parisa was to use a [[courier]] shuttle to depart from the prowler, before the ''Down Out and Go'' jumped away via [[slipspace]]. The shuttle was equipped with a single [[M6D magnum]] for Parisa's defence.{{Ref/Reuse|MA1}} | | {{stub|section=yes}} |

| To pass the time during the flight to the rendezvous with the Master Chief, Paris ultimately elected to begin looking up background information on the Spartan, finding 6,841 interviews on-file from people who had seen the Spartan in person. Interviews listened to by Parisa included [[Faith Abdi]]{{Ref/Audio|Id=MA2|HIMA|Chapter 2: Faith}} and Captain [[Carol Rawley|Carol "Foehammer" Rawley]].{{Ref/Audio|Id=MA3|HIMA|Chapter 3: We Deliver}} Eventually, the shuttle's aft stabiliser suffered a fault and began to leak trihydridehexazine gas, which ultimately caught the attention of a Created [[Phaeton]] squadron. As such, Parisa elected to try and disguise the ship as space debris caught in the gravitational pull of a gas giant 0.6AU away. While she was successful, this also resulted in the shuttle beginning to burn up in the gas giant's atmosphere.{{Ref/Reuse|MA3}} After recovering from nearly falling into the gas giant, Parisa listened to the Master Chief testimonies of Corporal [[Chips Dubbo]] and Sergeant [[Franklin Mendez]]. After listening to the Mendez interview, she began to question how long she had been working for ONI: upon learning from Oliver that she began working for them in [[2557]], she questioned how she had only been tasked on five missions. Growing frustrated at Oliver's lack of help in the matter, she decided to abort the mission and turn the shuttle around.{{Ref/Audio|Id=MA4|HIMA|Chapter 4: Unsavory Means}} However, this was short-lived upon learning that the time taken to head back to UNSC-controlled space would be approximately the same as the time needed to complete the mission anyway. Additionally, the ship's narrow escape from falling into the gas giant had now re-caught the attention of the Phaetons.{{Ref/Audio|Id=MA5|HIMA|Chapter 5: Intruder Alert}}

| At this time, John-117 allowed his [[D77 Pelican]] - now at the preassigned rendezvous point - to broadcast its position. He then proceeded to dock with Parisa's ship and [[Naval boarding|board it]].{{Ref/Reuse|MA5}} When the Phaetons got close, the Spartan directed Oliver to perform evasive manouevres, eventually blowing one of the ship's thrusters to disable one of the enemy ships. The Created then teleported several [[Armiger]]s aboard the ship, which were dispatched by the Spartan.{{Ref/Audio|Id=MA6|HIMA|Chapter 6: Impressions}}

| Throughout the stress of the mission, Parisa slowly began to recollect memories of her childhood on [[Eridanus II]],{{Ref/Reuse|MA2}} which culminated in her encoding the data from her brain in a [[Wikipedia:Tap code|knock code]]. When her memory eventually reset towards the mission's end, the encoded message was able to be read by Master Chief, who promptly logged the mission, and his armour's testing, as a success. Parisa then recieved a new mission from her handler [[Codename: FIXER]], which she promptly accepted.{{Ref/Reuse|MA6}}
