Wallace Jenkins: Difference between revisions

Once there, the ship is attacked by the [[Covenant]], and it is assumed that Jenkins escapes the ship in the same lifeboat as [[Sergeant Johnson]] and his squad. After meeting up with the [[Master Chief|Chief]], they take [[Pelican]] [[Echo 419]] to where the [[ODST]] detachment of the vessel is encamped. He then goes to [[Alpha Base]] with the Sergeant and his squad.  

Later, he, along with the rest of [[Fire Team Charlie]] (excluding [[Chips Dubbo]], are taken on an unnamed [[Pelican]] to what they think is a [[Halo|Covenant weapons cache]], but turns out to be one of the [[Flood Containment Facilities]]. There, he, [[Captain Keyes]], [[Sergeant Johnson]], [[Private Bisenti]], [[Private Manuel Mendoza]], and encounter the [[Flood]] for the first time in Halo. In the fight, an [[Infection Form]] latches on to him and takes over his body.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], Page 175</ref> He drops his video-recording helmet, which is later picked up by the [[Master Chief|Chief]], who watches the horrifying attack via the [[Recorder Chip]] of Jenkins' [[Helmet Recorder]].<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 206</ref> The video ends suddenly, right as the [[infection form]] hits Jenkins, and infects him.  

Jenkins' combat form followed a group of [[Flood]] to the surface where they attacked a group of [[Marines]] under command of [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]]. Without complete control over his body, Jenkins, who was desperate to end his own life, attempted to get killed while assaulting the Lieutenant, but instead he was captured by the [[ODSTs]], who took him prisoner. [[Major]] [[Antonio Silva]] tries to interrogate him . While being interrogated, the [[infection form]] inside of Jenkins attempts to attack its interrogators by extending a tentacle ''through'' Jenkins' hand, snapping the bones and veins. As Jenkins describes it, it was "living hell". However, is knocked unconscious by the [[marines]]. This gives Jenkins the chance to  reveal the imminent threat of flood beneath the base.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 275/276</ref>. Jenkins does this by motioning to the shoe of a marine. McKay correctly interprets this and orders a squad to exterminate them. He is later taken to the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' while the [[Marines]] assault the ship. Jenkins, knowing that Silva plans to take the ship home to [[Earth]], overwhelms the Infection form inside him and tries to destroy the ship, because he knows that there are more [[Flood]] present aboard it and that they would inevitably escape and destroy [[Earth]]. He fails to do so, but [[Lieutenant McKay]], seeing the truth as well, destroys the vessel for him. The destruction then takes his life, mercifully ending his suffering. <ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 332</ref> Before he died, he mouthed the words 'Thank you' to the lieutenant.
