Daniels: Difference between revisions

'''Dr. Daniels''' was a [[civilian]] scientist who worked for the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] as a [[xenoarchaeology]] consultant.<ref name="Run"> '''Halo: Fleet Battles''' ''SCENARIO FOUR: RUN!''</ref> He was stationed with a team of scientists in [[Teller Station]], a research facility located on a [[Site 17|planetoid]] in [[Epsilon Eridani]]'s [[Oort cloud]], in order to study a [[Forerunner]] [[Site 17 artifact|artifact]]. Daniels and his fellow scientists had carefully worked on excavating this artifact for several years; however, in the summer of [[2552]] with the [[Covenant]]'s discovery of [[Reach]] and the declaration of [[WINTER CONTINGENCY]] throughout the system, Teller Station's defenses began to withdraw and abandon the facility, ordering the science team to conduct one final dig.<ref name="Evacuate">'''Halo: Fleet Battles''' ''SCENARIO THREE: EVACUATE''</ref> Thus Daniels and the other scientists were forced to hastily compress a long-planned and extensive retrieval operation into a time-frame of less than a fortnight.<ref name="Evacuate"/> This frantic effort exhausted Teller Station's crew but was ultimately successful in retrieving an object from Site 17.<ref name="Evacuate"/> However, the effort also succeeded in activating dormant Forerunner systems which alerted the [[Fleet of Valiant Prudence]] to the stations location, enraging it at the perceived desecration of the Forerunner reliquary.<ref name="Run"/> Consequently, [[Supreme Commander]] [[Rho 'Barutamee]] ordered a significant portion of his fleet to retrieve the artifact and avenge the human insult, while Admiral [[Michael Stanforth]] dispatched a battlegroup to interdict this effort.<ref name="Run"/> Daniels and his fellow scientists were thereby able to escape to [[Turul]] along with the artifact, which he could tell was extremely valuable.<ref>'''Halo: Fleet Battles''' ''SCENARIO FIVE: INTO THE FIRE''</ref>
