Operation: COALPEPPER

This mission to Talitsa was a United Nations Space Command operation, arranged by the Spartan branch and Office of Naval Intelligence, to rescue Huragok Quick to Adjust and his human handler, Sadie Endesha, on the United Rebel Front-controlled moon.

Prelude
Huragok Quick to Adjust and his human handler, Sadie Endesha, participated in a variety of field operations issued by the Office of Naval Intelligence, including one in which they possibly aided in a new MJOLNIR development project on Talitsa in August 2555. However, while on the moon, they were captured by the United Rebel Front and taken to one of the URF's military bases on Talitsa. Due to their past experiences with the Huragok, ONI Captain Veronica Dare selected SPARTAN-IVs Edward Buck, Kojo "Romeo" Agu, and Michael "Mickey" Crespo for the mission to Talitsa to rescue the two.

Aftermath
Following the incident, Buck and Romeo were both debriefed in light of the issues regarding conflicting loyalties and emotions among the soldiers of the SPARTAN-IV program. Buck later told his life story to ONI archivists, beginning with his early life to his career as a SPARTAN-IV supersoldier.
