Wagner held the rank of [[ | Wagner held the rank of [[Lieutenant]] in [[2552]]. Lieutenant Wagner's [[UNSC prowler|prowler]] was one of few vessels to escape the catastrophic [[Fall of Reach]] in 2552. Making the trip to Earth in a record time of four days, he ostensibly broke the [[Cole Protocol]], neglecting the random jumps required by the protocol's Article 1; however, it was a well-known common practice for ONI to "bend" the protocol. In any case, Wagner believed this was justified due to the value of the intel they possessed. Fortunately, the [[Covenant]] did not follow him, nor could they, given his stealth was never compromised.{{Ref/Reuse|fs11}} | ||
He prepared the official report for the [[UNSC]] about the fall of planet [[Reach]] and was debriefed about it by the [[UNSC Security Council]], consisting of, but not limited to [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], [[Lord Hood|Fleet Admiral Terrence Hood]], [[Nicolas Strauss|Major General Nicolas Strauss]] and about a half-dozen other command rank UNSC officers at [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]], [[UNSC High Command|HIGHCOM]]'s headquarters. He gave them all the information he had, including the escape of the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}, and the apparent [[glassing]] of the planet.{{Ref/Reuse|fs11}} Wagner was acute enough to detect a huge breach in military protocol, when Colonel Ackerson appeared to be in a position to cow a Major General. Ackerson had a huge dislike of Wagner, either because of the Colonel's characteristically confrontational demeanor, or as [[Lysithea]] put it, "he wanted to stick someone's head on a pike." When Wagner informed the council that he would like to volunteer for a recon mission back to Reach, Colonel Ackerson immediately berated him, telling him they would not send any ships to confirm a dead planet. Mockingly asserting that Wagner had sustained trauma, Ackerson ordered him to visit the infirmary and get a "clean bill of medicine before returning to active duty."{{Ref/Reuse|fs11}} | |||
