During the [[Battle of Mombasa|Covenant invasion]] of the city of New Mombasa, Quick to Adjust and six other Huragok were dispatched into the tunnels underneath the city, possibly to hack into the city's electronic systems and the [[Superintendent]] [[artificial intelligence]]. However, the six other Huragok instead began to free Quick to Adjust from its explosive harness. While the six others were killed, Quick survived and made its way into the [[New Mombasa Data Center|data center]] of the Superintendent, where it began working on repairing the AI. During the process, Quick would save the badly damaged AI, and later absorb most of its data, including a subroutine, [[Vergil]], into itself.<ref>'''[[Sadie's Story]]''', ''Circle 6, Arc 2''</ref>
