Herzog: Difference between revisions

Line 30:

When the artifact's activation caused a bizarre [[Slipspace anomaly]] that crashed the ship in [[Lunar]] orbit and disrupted all communications within the [[Solar System]], Herzog's interests extended to the ambitious [[Major (UNSC)|Major]] [[Standish]]. Standish believed, the artifact to be a prototype of a new Covenant weapon and sought to uncover its secrets before anyone else. To do this, he had everyone who served aboard the ''Apocalypso'' suffer a fatal "accident", and moved the artifact into his [[Building 41|own lab]] for study.

Herzog, however, managed to speak to the ''Apocalypso''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[~~Greene~~|Captain]] before her vehicle [[Roadware|drove her]] into the path of a bus, and he learned of the artifact. On Avi's advice, he recruited a young analyst named [[Rani Sobeck]] to help him keep an eye on [[Chawla Base]], where the artifact was housed, as well as some investigative work into the matters of Troy and Harmony. Proud of her work, he accidentally gave away too much information while trading banter with Standish, leading to the latter's attempt to assassinate her. Herzog's man took out Standish's man with a [[Hard Sound Rifle]] before he could get to Rani, and Herzog was able to use the incident to get Standish in trouble with an Admiral. In retaliation, Standish had Herzog's car drive him at full speed over a cliff, killing him.

Despite Herzog's death, his persona was taken over by a fragment of Melissa, who was split apart with the artifact's activation, known as the [[Operator]]. The Operator, desperately needed to communicate how to deactivate the artifact to another of Melissa's fragments, known as [[Durga]], but was afraid that Durga wouldn't trust her. She manufactured a scene between Herzog and MacKaskill detailing the artifact's activation sequence, disguising it as surveillance Durga took while spying on Herzog. It worked so well that she was later startled to learn that Herzog, had indeed died in the crash.
