Some time before 2551, Miles was stationed on the {{UNSCShip|Kronstadt}} as a part of a squad led by [[Master Sergeant]] [[Cortez]], along with a contingent of ODSTs from the [[105th Shock Troops Division]].<ref>'''Halo Legends:''' ''The Babysitter''</ref><ref>As Miles enlisted in 2540, the mission on Heian had to have occurred during or after 2540.

When Cal attempted to shoot the Prophet, a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|chieftain]] that Cal had fought earlier to save O'Brien assaulted the squad and fatally wounded Cal, who rushed to their defense. Miles responded as he, Cortez, and O'Brien tackled the chieftain just as it was about to strike Cal once more. Miles then shot the Brute in the face, killing him. Although they succeeded in assassinating the Prophet, the death of Cal and another squadmate, [[Checkman]], hit Miles and his comrades very hard. Afterward, it became evident that Cal's voluntary sacrifice had affected the squad's impression of Spartans, as they scolded an [[UNSC Army|Army]] [[specialist]], [[Berger]], who made light of the fact that the Spartan had passed away on the mission. | When Cal attempted to shoot the Prophet, a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|chieftain]] that Cal had fought earlier to save O'Brien assaulted the squad and fatally wounded Cal, who rushed to their defense.

During | During [[Operation: FIRESIDE]] in [[2552#January|January 2552]], Miles served in the same unit with [[Kojo Agu|Kojo "Romeo" Agu]] under the command of [[Master Sergeant|MSgt]] [[Frost]]. Before deployment, they were stationed aboard a [[UNSC frigate]]. Miles broke up a fight Romeo had started, and because of this, Sgt. Frost confined both of them to their quarters. While in his quarters, Miles viewed a video message from Gretchen, who was still healing from her injury. | ||

After a brief engagement with two [[Sangheili]], the colony's generators went critical, forcing Miles and Romeo to grab the corpses and use them as personal shields against the blast. Miles then decided to tell Romeo his "last words": he was going to get a transfer. | ||
When they were blown to the surface and woke up, Romeo punched Miles for telling of his transfer. They then found an injured [[Unggoy]], who they interrogated, demanding to know what the Covenant were doing. The Unggoy could only say "knowing" but couldn't tell anymore. They let the Grunt go free, only for Romeo to shoot it, fearing that he may become a liability. They soon traced their squad's tracks, but noticed a [[legion]] of Sangheili headed towards them. As Romeo tried coming up with a plan, three Unggoy tried dropping a boulder on them. They barely managed to avoid the attack and then killed the Unggoy, and took their gear before setting up a few explosives to bring rocks upon the Sangheili. | When they were blown to the surface and woke up, Romeo punched Miles for telling of his transfer.

First, they killed a Sangheili and an Unggoy, using the latter's body to fool the other Unggoy into thinking that Miles was being taken captive, before killing them all. They then took control of the Phantom, though what Miles believed to be lift-off thrusters were actually weapons, which killed a number of Covenant returning to the ship. As they took off, one Sangheili managed to damage the Phantom with his [[Fuel Rod Gun]], causing the Phantom to crash to the ground. They abandon ship, as the Phantom crashed into a company of Sangheili. Miles crashed through a building's skylight, and found the missing colonists inside, held prisoner by several Unggoy. | ||

After neutralizing the guards, Miles and Romeo then learned from the colonists that the Covenant were forcing them to dig down below, setting off a number of booby traps in the entrance to [[Ariel Forerunner complex|an alien complex]]. Thus the two ODSTs went down below to free the other enslaved colonists. They first scared two Unggoy with inactive bombs, causing them run right into a laser trap, before Miles tackled the Sangheili into them as well. He and Romeo then made their way past the lasers, before finding what the Covenant was looking for on Ariel: an [[Forerunner|alien]] [[ | After neutralizing the guards, Miles and Romeo then learned from the colonists that the Covenant were forcing them to dig down below, setting off a number of booby traps in the entrance to [[Ariel Forerunner complex|an alien complex]].

He and Romeo then made their way past the lasers, before finding what the Covenant was looking for on Ariel: an [[Forerunner|alien]] [[ancilla|construct]] called [[the Knowing]]. Though Miles believed that the AI would be beneficial to the UNSC, per ONI [[Xeno orders|standing orders]], Romeo preferred that they destroy it to prevent the Covenant from getting their hands on the data. Romeo asked the Knowing to activate its [[self-destruct]] and direct them out of the complex which it complied with due to his status as a [[Reclaimer]]. As they made their way out, Romeo tripped over an Unggoy's body and broke his ankle. Miles carried him and managed to escape the blast. When they got back to the surface, they were reunited with their squad, who had seen the Covenant fleeing the planet because of the Knowing's destruction. | ||
Later, Miles visited Romeo in the infirmary. Romeo stated that he filed for a transfer to be with Miles, who revealed that he had withdrawn his transfer request. They both played Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who would go. | Later, Miles visited Romeo in the infirmary.
