Lucy-B091

"How are you sure we're alive?"

- Lucy

Lucy is a Spartan-III Supersoldier. She was conscripted into the Spartan-III program, developed by James Ackerson, at age six in 2539, when she was orphaned by the Covenant when they glassed her homeworld and killed her parents.

Physical Description
Lucy is described as being tiny and almost miniature to her fellow Spartans. At only 12 years of age after Operation: TORPEDO, she was only 5.2 feet tall and 70 kilos. She also has pale skin from being inside her SPI armor for long periods at a time.

Biography
Lucy, distraught, volunteered for the Spartan-III program to get revenge on the Covenant aliens who murdered her family. She was trained by Lieutenant Commander Kurt-051 Ambrose and Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez at Camp Currahee for six years. Lucy, along with Tom-B292, Adam-B004 and Min-B174, became "Team Foxtrot," one of the organized Spartan-III combat teams in Beta Company.

In 2545 they were sent on Operation: TORPEDO to destroy a Covenant refinery on Pegasi Delta. The majority of Beta Company were killed before reaching the refinery, but Team Foxtrot managed to get to the refinery's reactor core. Although the mission ended up as a 'success', only Lucy and Tom survived the battle. Adam and Min never made it. Lucy, traumatized by the incident, was diagnosed with posttraumatic vocal disarticulation, and never spoke a word the rest of her life. It is unknown whether she couldn't or just didn't want to, as Kurt sometimes wondered. Her last words were "How are you sure we're alive?" after seeing the rest of her company killed, minus Tom.

She was just about to be classified as "unfit for duty," and reassigned to ONI's psych branch for "psychological evaluation." Kurt-051 rescued her from this fate, along with Tom-B292. Together with Tom, Lucy, and Chief Mendez, Kurt was able to train a third generation of Spartan-IIIs, Gamma Company. Lucy, along with Tom, stayed at Camp Currahee and helped in the training until 2552. At that point, the Battle of Onyx occurred. Lucy fought valiantly alongside her brothers and sisters, defending the entry to the Shield World, until she was ordered to retreat into its safety by Kurt. She and Tom were the last to go through, rescued by Kurt, who gave his life to save Dr. Halsey, Mendez and the other Spartan IIIs including some of the Spartan IIs. At most recent knowledge, she is still alive inside the Micro Dyson Sphere.
