Taking Schein's rifle, Buck waited for Mickey to gain consciousness and watched as Romeo eliminated the rebels. After eliminating the rebels nearby, Romeo moved on to rescue Quick to Adjust and Sadie Endesha. When Mickey awoke, he asked Buck to kill him. However, Buck opted not to and the two sat down together until a [[dropship]] arrived to extract them.<ref name="nb170">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 170-173'' (Google Play edition)</ref> When they returned to the Spartan base on Mars, Buck had Mickey handed over to Jun-A266 instead of the ONI operatives that were waiting for their return, since he believed that Mickey was still a Spartan. Afterwards, Buck was congratulated by Musa for his actions on Talitsa, stating that the fact that he had not executed Mickey when products of the older SPARTAN programs like the Master Chief might have (and Jun definitely would have) proved that the SPARTAN-IV program was an amazing triumph, all because of Buck's humanity. At Buck's request, Musa reassigned Romeo and Buck to another team, with Buck serving as a member of the team rather than as its leader.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 175-179'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | Taking Schein's rifle, Buck waited for Mickey to gain consciousness and watched as Romeo eliminated the rebels.
