On [[2557|July 26, 2557]], Fred, Kelly and Linda were reunited with John-117 for a mission to investigate an attack on a local science team and [[Team Black]] on [[Installation 03]] immediately following John's return to the UNSC. Soon after their arrival, Linda found tracks left by a [[Promethean Crawler]]. Fred and Linda found the bodies of Team Black while John and Kelly found the scientists. He wondered if the Crawlers were capable of doing that; John felt it was something else. Shortly after they left the camp they were attacked by [[Promethean Knights]], Fred stabbed one of them in the "head", killing it. They continued following the Crawlers' tracks and came to where the [[Composer]] was originally located. Kelly found a tunnel which they followed down, soon finding the [[Composer's Abyss]] where they entered a [[slipspace portal]].<ref>'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 8|Issue #8]]''</ref> | On [[2557|July 26, 2557]], Fred, Kelly and Linda were reunited with John-117 for a mission to investigate an attack on a local science team and [[Team Black]] on [[Installation 03]] immediately following John's return to the UNSC.

The Spartans arrived in a deserted Forerunner city where they soon discovered the [[Composer's Forge]] and six intact Composers housed therein. The Didact confronted the Spartans and a firefight broke out between them and the Didact's newly-created Promethean machines. While Fred and the other Spartans battled the Prometheans, the Didact took one of the Composers and departed toward the portal, intending to use the device as well as Gamma Halo against Earth. Fred and the others pursued the Forerunner through the portal back to Installation 03. Upon their return to the surface, the Didact attacked the Spartans, intending to kill them personally.<ref name="HE9">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 9|Issue #9]]''</ref> Before he could kill John, Linda and Kelly attacked the Didact. He blasted Kelly away and tackled Linda to the ground, disabling the Spartans. The Didact allowed Fred to shoot him in the head with a [[Z-110 Boltshot]]—to no effect—so he could give Fred the honor of "dying a warrior". However, before the Didact could finish them off, Static Carillon appeared behind the Forerunner and disabled him with his laser. Then the monitor teleported the Didact to Gamma Halo's [[Control Room (Installation 03)|control room]] to prevent him from killing the Spartans. While John went to pursue the Didact, Linda and the rest of Blue Team returned to their Longsword. After John succeeded in "containing" the Didact, Static Carillon teleported himself and John into Blue Team's Longsword. Fred asked the monitor where the ring would be taken, but no response was given; Static Carillon then left to repair the ring and Blue Team returned to Earth.<ref name="HE10">'''Halo: Escalation''', ''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue #10]]''</ref> | The Spartans arrived in a deserted Forerunner city where they soon discovered the [[Composer's Forge]] and six intact Composers housed therein.

Fred has displayed many similarities, both physical and mental, with [[John-117]], with whom he often worked very closely. He is an exceptional leader and a quick thinker. John remarked, however, that Fred sometimes takes the responsibility of his command too seriously, empathizing too deeply with any wounded member of his team.<ref name="FS"/> However, in the years following the [[Fall of Reach]], he learned to better adapt to battlefield casualties. Many consider him the most capable fireteam leader of all Spartans.<ref name="HWFred"/> Fred, like many of the other Spartans is an introvert and is rarely called by his full name. He never began to stand out among the Spartans until the death of [[Samuel-034]]. | Fred has displayed many similarities, both physical and mental, with [[John-117]], with whom he often worked very closely.

Fred has black hair which was shot with streaks of silver after his augmentation, and he was "not too short or tall", slightly shorter than John-117, and neither too muscular, nor too slim. John-117 remarked, ''"If any Spartan had to blend into a crowd it would be Fred."''<ref name="for78"/> | Fred has black hair which was shot with streaks of silver after his augmentation, and he was "not too short or tall", slightly shorter than John-117, and neither too muscular, nor too slim.
