By [[2535]], Cole had finished writing United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1, better known as the [[Cole Protocol]]—a law to prevent the Covenant from finding the location of Earth or any other human population center. Essentially, the Cole Protocol was an order forbidding the Covenant to gain any opportunity to retrieve data regarding the location of human population centers, and forbade retreating vessels from setting a direct course towards Earth, the Inner Colonies, or any other human population center, as the Covenant were able to track slipspace vectors and use them to calculate the destination. The policy also stated that if escape is impossible in order to prevent capture, any UNSC or civilian vessel was to self destruct after wiping all data matrices in order to slow the advance of the Covenant.{{Ref/Reuse|Genesis}}{{Ref/Reuse|timeline}} Following the [[Battle of the Rubble]] in 2535, Lieutenant [[Jacob Keyes]] evacuated one million people from [[the Rubble]] to [[Falaknuma]]. Some other UNSC officers were anxious regarding Keyes' evacuation, as a large portion of the refugees were insurrectionists. However, Cole called Keyes' accomplishment a victory, stating that men like Keyes would win the war, and then skip-promoted him to commander. Afterwards, Cole provided [[Spartan-II]] [[Gray Team]] with a [[prowler]] to allow them to combat hostile forces in Covenant space.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''pages 351-354''</ref> | By [[2535]], Cole had finished writing United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1, better known as the [[Cole Protocol]]—a law to prevent the Covenant from finding the location of Earth or any other human population center.
