In [[2552#August|August]] of [[2552]], Mount Haven was attacked by the Covenant. A team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, including [[Gage Yevgenny]], [[Eric Santiago]], and several other ODSTs under the command of [[Colonel]] [[Felicia Sanderson]], were involved in an operation to infiltrate the city of [[Mount Haven]], then under siege by the Covenant, who were looking for [[Forerunner]] artifacts. Simultaneously, several former [[Colonial Military | In [[2552#August|August]] of [[2552]], Mount Haven was attacked by the Covenant. A team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, including [[Gage Yevgenny]], [[Eric Santiago]], and several other ODSTs under the command of [[Colonel]] [[Felicia Sanderson]], were involved in an operation to infiltrate the city of [[Mount Haven]], then under siege by the Covenant, who were looking for [[Forerunner]] artifacts. Simultaneously, several former [[Colonial Military Administration|CMA]] members were performing a clandestine operation to extract a massive supply of [[gold]] bullion from a bank. However, after infiltrating the bank, the ODST team discovered a class of school children and [[Julian|their teacher]] hiding in the underground vault, hoping to survive the planet's inevitable [[glassing]]. After loading two Pelicans full of gold, the ODSTs knew there was no room for the children. To deceive the [[civilian]]s, the troopers claimed that the gold would be used in the UNSC's war effort. Gage, who had seen too many people killed by the Covenant, was in strong favor of postponing the theft to save the civilians. The other ODSTs, who claimed that the children were as good as dead, disagreed, causing an argument. Felicia stepped in, wanting to call in more Pelicans, but the other ODSTs had already raised their weapons at one another. In an instant, Gage was shot in the abdomen, three other squad members were dead, and Felicia was fatally wounded. Gage rushed to her side, but she died in his arms. | ||
Gage, in shock, went outside to find Eric, who informed him that the UNSC were falling back. Gage knocked him out with his gun and called for more Pelicans, claiming they were under heavy fire. He then flew Eric's Pelican to the pickup point and collected the artifacts the Covenant were looking for, as well as a [[Shiva-class nuclear missile|Shiva nuclear device]], then flew away from the city. Gage believed that the Covenant forces would follow him in pursuit of the relics. As he was being pursued by Covenant [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]], he was "accidentally" shot down by ODSTs who knew of his betrayal. | Gage, in shock, went outside to find Eric, who informed him that the UNSC were falling back.

Gage crashed near the mountains outside the city, and was found mortally wounded by [[the Rookie|a Rookie ODST]] who had arrived with Gage's reinforcements. Gage, who knew he was dying, told the Rookie his life story, right up until he crashed the Pelican. The Rookie, who had listened intently, promised to remember Gage and do whatever he could against the Covenant. Gage then told the Rookie that Covenant forces and the rogue ODSTs were on their way to the crash site, and warned the Rookie to get as far away as possible, as Gage was going to detonate the Shiva, killing them all. The Rookie ditched most of his gear and ran for his life until he reached the other side of the mountain, at which point Gage detonated the nuke, killing himself, his renegade teammates, and thousands of Covenant troops. The Rookie, being the only survivor, hailed a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] and was informed that [[Reach]] had just been attacked | Gage crashed near the mountains outside the city, and was found mortally wounded by [[the Rookie|a Rookie ODST]] who had arrived with Gage's reinforcements.

They escaped as the planet was glassed, but the Rookie would not forget Gage Yevgenny, and his long and tragic life.<ref name="Dirt"/> | ||
