A 22 | ===Early life=== | ||
A 22 year-old college student from the [[United Republic of North America]] state of [[Kentucky]], Rani was incredibly bright and observant. [[Durga]] stated that the young academic would be a good candidate for ONI's cadre of "brain ninjas"—people used as the basis for a [[Smart AI|volitional artificial intelligence construct]].<ref>[[Axon]] [[Media:ILB Brain ninjas.ogg|ILB Brain ninjas.ogg]]</ref> | |||
While living in [[Boston]], [[Professor Avi]], | While living in [[Boston]], [[Professor Avi]], Sobeck's cultural anthropology professor, encouraged her to apply at ONI. Although she was accepted, Sobeck initially turned it down in favor of starting a business with her friend [[Trevor]] manufacturing cheap, disposable [[chatter]]s for colonial refugees living on Earth. However, when it became clear that the business would never get off the ground, she accepted ONI's employment. | ||
Rani traveled home to Kentucky for her cousin [[Sarah-John Pope|Sarah-John]]'s wedding shortly after being onboarded with ONI. At the wedding, Sobeck met the soon-to-be-drafted [[Nick]]. Although they had initially clashed, Rani and Nick soon reconciled their differences and began a long-distance relationship. | |||
===Office of Naval Intelligence=== | |||
While working as a low-clearance analyst for [[Office of Naval Intelligence#Section One|ONI Section One]] in [[Boston]], URNA, Rani Sobeck encountered a Bill of Laden (a civilian request for transfer of UNSC property) supposedly posted by an evacuee from the [[Glassing|glassed]] colony of [[Troy]]. Determining that the record was fraudulent, Rani quickly discovered that it made reference to [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marines]] stationed on the planet for a covert evacuation. While Rani was back home in Kentucky, her superior, [[Lawson|Mrs. Lawson]], shut down her investigation and warned her not to pursue it any further. A week later, an ONI assassin was shot with a [[Hard sound rifle|hard sound rifle]] attempting to kill Sobeck in her apartment. | |||
After the assassination attempt, Sobeck was approached on a train by [[Office of Naval Intelligence#Section Zero|ONI Section Zero's]] [[Herzog|Colonel Herzog]]. The colonel revealed that it was his security detail who eliminated her would-be assassin. Herzog then persuaded Sobeck to spy for him to divulge the ongoing research into the [[Deep-Space Artifact]] being held at Chawla Base. Sobeck was approached by [[Joe]] later that day. Joe, an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] on liberty, tried hitting on Sobeck and urged her not to waste time being faithful to her boyfriend Nick with the looming threat of [[Covenant]] invasion. | |||

Sobeck continued her investigation into the Deep-Space Artifact on Chawla Base after the murder of her handler Colonel Herzog. The analyst's operation was discovered by ONI [[Standish|Major Standish]], who temporarily convinced her that she had been misguided by Herzog's paranoid delusions. Shortly after her encounter with Major Standish, [[Jersey Morelli]] and Durga would attempt to recruit the insider Sobeck to aid their team in breaking into Chawla Base. Though initially reluctant, she agreed to their plan to deactivate the [[Forerunner]] device. In deactivating the Deep-Space Artifact, however, the group were aware that it would broadcast the location of Earth to the Covenant, who had long been ignorant to the whereabouts of humanity's homeworld. | |||
As the team infiltrated Chawla Base, Sobeck was solely taken into custody by security forces. Following the activation of the Deep-Space Artifact, the AI construct [[Melissa (AI)|Melissa]] was reformed. Melissa, who felt as if she disappointed Sobeck, spoofed her identity to pose as a lawyer and aided in the release of Sobeck from jail, along with [[Sophia Bossedon]] and [[Aiden Maki]]. | |||
Some time later Sobeck would be approached by a Section Zero recruiter on a train. Sobeck decides she is in too far to back out, and accepts the recruiter's offer to join ONI's internal affairs division. The two ONI personnel then hear air-raid sirens blare throughout the city, announcing the Covenant's [[Fleet of Sacred Consecration]] were on-course for Earth. | |||
