Isaac-039: Difference between revisions

Vinh, Isaac, Fred, Kelly, Will, and Dr. Halsey were trapped under CASTLE Base on Reach for several days after Halsey initiated [[Operation: WHITE GLOVE]] to destroy the base and keep it from falling into enemy hands. Isaac was able to upgrade his [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|Mark V MJOLNIR armor]] with parts salvaged from the base. He received a new image-enhancing computer that was in the process of being field-tested and had yet to be certified. After Fred discovered a massive room containing a strange [[Forerunner]] [[Forerunner Crystal|crystal]], the crystal sent a massive radiation spike that allowed the Covenant to triangulate the group's position.<ref>'''Halo: First Strike''', ''page 146''</ref> A Covenant [[Gravity Lift|gravity lift]] quickly appeared, and Isaac and Vinh were ordered to take a rearguard position. Isaac and Vinh dropped back and opened fire until the group retreated toward a nearby tunnel, after which the two SPARTANs dropped [[Satchel Charge|satchel charges]] to cover the group's tracks. The charges prematurely detonated, causing Isaac and Vinh to disappear. They could not be raised on the [[COM]]. In accordance with [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] [[Office of Naval Intelligence Directive 930|protocol]], Isaac was listed as [[missing in action]], but is presumed [[killed in action]].
