"I know we're losing! I just want to know if we've lost."

- Catherine-B320 "Each one of these souls is finite and precious. And I'm close. Close to saving them all."

- The Librarian "I? I am a monument to all your sins..."

- Gravemind "Die? Didn't you know? Spartans never die."

- Kurt-051 "This galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched."

- Cortana "You are, all of you, vermin! Cowering in the dirt, thinking... what, I wonder? That you might escape the coming fire? No! Your world will burn until its surface is but glass! And not even your Demon will live to creep - blackened - from its hole to mar the reflection of our passage, the culmination of our Journey. For your destruction is the will of the gods. And I? I am their instrument!"

- Prophet of Truth "Dear humanity: We regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!"

- Avery Junior Johnson "Wake me...when you need me."

- John-117 "It is a poor soldier who insists on seeing things not as they are, but as he wants them to be. One day reality hits, and his illusions fail him, and he dies stupidly. What honor is there in that?"

- Thel 'Vadam "This boy could be more useful to the UNSC than a fleet of destroyers, a thousand Junior Grade Lieutenants -- or even me. In the end, the child may be the only thing that makes any difference."

- Catherine Elizabeth Halsey

Biography
Hello, and welcome to my UserWiki! Just on a formal note, my name is Dan. There, introductions are over, now for the fun part. Basically, I'm in love with Halo. I'm not obsessed, nor am I the Halo equivalent to a Call of Duty fan-boy. I'm in love with the story. It's the perfect mix of everything anyone could ever love in a story. In all truth, anyone that doesn't like Halo probably hasn't payed any attention to the characters and events that have taken place in the fictional universe. It is a brilliant work of art in my eyes. Now, and I am ashamed to admit it, I haven't been around for the entirety of Halo's lifetime. I came around just before the release of Halo Wars when my friend introduced me to both the X-box 360 and Halo 3. I immediately got an X-box and Halo 3. (Actually, I bought Halo 3: ODST, thinking it was Halo 3. I was so disappointed with myself when I played it for the first time!) Once Halo: Reach came out, I started to become very involved with the Halo universe. I am now a wealth of Halo knowledge. There is possibly nothing I couldn't answer regarding the Halo universe.

About My Username
Now, you may be wondering, what the hell does Iota Eta Pi mean? Well it's a joke... My sad attempt at a joke. (Well I think it's funny!) Anyway, they are three Greek letters: Iota ( Ιι ) Eta ( Ηη ) and Pi ( Ππ ). Iota is pronounced "yah-tuh", Eta is pronounced "ee-tuh", and Pi is obviously pronounced "pie." So, when you say it together, it sounds similar to the phrase "you oughtta' eat a pie!" Clever, right? ... Don't laugh at me.

Conscription
Daniel, born on May 24, 2534, was the child of a financially struggling, middle class civilian family on Earth. In 2545, he was abducted into the SPARTAN-III Program. Most believe that Gamma Company was the last SPARTAN-III company to have existed. The Office of Naval Intelligence, however, created a final, classified company, consisting of ten specially trained, specially augmented children. Daniel was one of these children abducted into the SPARTAN-III Omega Company. They were given random service numbers between 1 and 300 so there would be no suspicion as to why there were so few Spartans being trained in the company, in case of a leak to the public or a lower branch of the military. Trained more brutally and mercilessly than any Spartan-II or Spartan-III, Daniel and the other nine Spartans became the absolute best soldiers the UNSC could ever have. He was given the service tag Daniel-O225 after the augmentations were given to him.

Reach
In May of 2552, Daniel along with two other Spartans under his command, Justin-O193 and Crystal-O161, were deployed to Reach as part of a defense maneuver, in case of any Covenant attack. By July, the Covenant found Reach and began their assault. Daniel, Justin and Crystal, known as Omega Company Red Team, significantly helped during the Fall of Reach. Red Team single-handedly destroyed the Life-giving Virtue and two s, the Fist of Righteousness and the Never-ending Light. Red Team could operate with the effectiveness of an entire UNSC fleet, and in half the time. It was not until Operation: GRAND FINALE, the UNSC's first attempt at Operation: UPPER CUT, that Omega Company Red Team had it's first defeat. While attempting to use Anchor 9's last HORNET Mine to destroy the Long Night of Solace. Instead of hijacking a smaller ship and board the Solace, like during Operation: UPPER CUT, Red Team directly boarded the supercarrier. The three Spartans, with their immense strength, intelligence and teamwork, thought they would get the job done as cleanly as they had their other missions. While planting the HORNET, fourteen Sangheili warriors, thirteen Zealots led by one Field Marshal, sneaked into the engine room and launched a surprise skirmish on Red Team. Daniel, realizing the overwhelming force of the Sangheili warriors, signaled for maneuver Alpha-12. Justin and Crystal acknowledged. They threw their faux grenades down and they detonated. There was no explosion, just smoke, a booming sound, and shrapnel to simulate an explosion. The three jumped forward, grabbing three of the Sangheili by the neck and dragging them backwards into the smoke. They swiftly killed them, grabbed their energy swords and sprung forward, past the rest of the Covenant warriors. They ran out and Daniel called for an evac. Crystal realized that the mine had been prepared, they hadn't had time to activate it. Without warning the others, she went back to activate it alone. Daniel-O225 and Justin-O193 had ran a mile before noticing she had left. Daniel, after evacuating in a pelican with Justin, notified ONI and she had been declared MIA as per ONI Directive 930. Crystal-O161 was never seen by human eyes again.

Earth
Once they were evacuated, the remnants of Red Team were sent to Earth. There, Daniel and Justin were began rigorous training exorcises to make sure that nothing like the incident on the Long Night of Solace would ever happen again. On September 25, 2552
