Quick to Adjust

"Everything we need to know about the Covenant, what they're looking for under the city is right... in... here."

- Captain Veronica Dare

Quick to Adjust was a Covenant Huragok attached to the Fleet of Sacred Consecration in 2552.

Biography
During the Covenant invasion of the city of New Mombasa, Quick to Adjust and six other Huragok were dispatched into the tunnels underneath the city, possibly to hack into the city's electronic systems and the Superintendent artificial intelligence. However, six other Huragok instead began to free Quick from its explosive harness. While the six others were killed, Quick survived and made its way into the data center of the Superintendent, where it began working on repairing the AI. During the process, Quick would save the badly damaged AI, and later absorb most of its data, including a subroutine, Vergil, into itself.

By the time Captain Veronica Dare and the Rookie arrived in the data center, they discovered Quick among the data stacks. As they escaped the facility, Quick provided them with energy shielding. Eventually, they managed to escape the city and extract Quick. A month later, Quick, which still had access to the Covenant battle network and held information on the Covenant, was being held on an ONI orbital facility. It was interrogated by Sergeant Major Avery Johnson, and agreed to share any information it had, lighting Johnson's cigar as a friendly gesture. Although the Huragok was interrogated by ONI on information relating to the Portal at Voi, they were unable to obtain any actionable intelligence before the Prophet of Truth arrived in his Forerunner Dreadnought.

Trivia

 * Like the other Huragok found in the game and in spite of its lack of armor, Quick still has shields to protect itself, and also is able to grant close friendly units shields, including the player (the only instance the player will be given energy shielding in ODST). However, the player has no shield monitor, and if playing on Legendary difficulty, the shields decrease in strength rapidly.
 * Quick to Adjust is not named in Halo 3: ODST; it is only identified as "VRGL" on the Rookie's HUD in Halo 3: ODST, due to the fact it held the Vergil subroutine in itself.
