UNSC Transmission 116749-09 was later included within the intelligence report ''[[Historical/Psychological Analysis of Cole, Preston J.]]'', sent by [[Codename: SURGEON]] to [[Codename: USUAL SUSPECTS]] in [[2552]]. SURGEON maintained that while seemingly innocuous, many of Cole's requests in the transmission support the contention that Cole planned to faked his own death at Psi Serpentis. For instance, the requisitioned [[Archer missile]]s and [[Cruiser|cruiser]] {{UNSCShip|Io}} were likely intended to provide a smoke screen and decoy, allowing Cole to perform an in-atmosphere [[Slipstream space|Slipspace jump]]. Similarly, the FTL manifold calculations that Cole requested might have enabled such a feat. In particular, SURGEON believed that Cole's personnel transfer request was meant to ensure he had a loyal crew to help facilitate his desertion. | UNSC Transmission 116749-09 was later included within the intelligence report ''[[Historical/Psychological Analysis of Cole, Preston J.]]'', sent by [[Codename: SURGEON]] to [[Codename: USUAL SUSPECTS]] in [[2552]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J.
