By the time a particular right turn sent the group careening down a muddy dirt road Owen was splayed out in the car's back, his hand clamped down on his side as blood gleamed on his armor.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB24}} Just one more left at the next road they encountered would take them to the hangar in the woods, but Owen was repeatedly passing out. When the car suddenly hit a ditch and slammed upwards he gave a roar and shattered the rear windshield with his fist before returning to clutching at his side and contorting his face in pain. After they finally stopped Dorian apologized to him, since he was going to need to walk again. The hangar was only meters from where the road had dead-ended but Owen accepted this through clenched teeth. Evie and Victor both helped him out of the vehicle and Dorian took the girl's place as he had began to lean unsteadily against her. Dorian gave him encouragement for the distance he'd need to cover and then he, Owen, and Victor hobbled forward along a path toward their destination. Screaming and [[plasma]] fire alerted them to the presence of the [[Covenant]], as the refugees gathered around the [[prowler]] had suddenly been engaged by a number of [[Kig-Yar]]. Gasping with each word, Owen once more offered to be left behind but was rebuffed by Dorian. With another lurch forward which eased some of his weight off the boy, Owen then said either he or Victor ought to take his rifle. Victor did so in order to provide covering fire for he and Dorian, who followed him into the clearing where the hangar was. The Spartan instructed Dorian to switch which of his sides he was supporting as they neared the crossfire being exchanged between the Jackals and townspeople, arguing that he was most needed so that someone could fly them all to safety. With a surprising burst of strength Owen pushed off and ran, shielding Dorian all the while. He was struck once by enemy fire in the process, causing him to howl, jolt, and stumble. After reaching the safety of the hangar he made a terrible sound before pitching forward and slamming into the side of the ship. He managed to catch himself, however, and turning to look Dorian in the eye told him to get them out of there.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB24}} | By the time a particular right turn sent the group careening down a muddy dirt road Owen was splayed out in the car's back, his hand clamped down on his side as blood gleamed on his armor.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB24}} Just one more left at the next road they encountered would take them to the hangar in the woods, but Owen was repeatedly passing out.

Owen advised caution, since they'd likely face new dangers after breaking atmosphere. His words were cut short by a ragged coughing fit and by the time they had left Meridian well and truly behind and the prowler found itself facing down an {{Pattern|Ceudar|heavy corvette}}, he was lying still on the floor. Owen's face had turned an unnatural gray but when he did manage to lift his face again he told Dorian to punch into the military comm channel he'd shown him and offered a code: "Nine. Alpha. Sierra. Three. Tango." More coughing almost threatened to keep him from relaying the final portion, but Dorian confirmed he'd gotten it all when asked. Owen further urged him to keep pulling up on the ship's throttle for speed. When Dorian did access the channel and identified himself with the code provided by Owen he was welcomed back as a Spartan and they were told to stand by for assistance.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB24}} | ||
Upon docking within the [[UNSC Cruiser|cruiser]] {{UNSCShip|Sparrow}} Owen was taken away for medical attention.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HBB25|BatB|Chapter=25}} Within two days he had recovered and given a full report of the four teens' activities on the surface to Captain [[Daniella Dellatorre]], a representative of ONI's [[Xeno-Materials Exploitation Group]]. In it he mentioned the discovery of evidence that the Covenant was attempting to retrieve a [[Forerunner]] artifact in [[Old Brume]]. After those two days had elapsed he was sent to fetch Saskia, surprising her in the middle of the refugee barracks where she'd been staying. She immediately embraced him and was further surprised when he returned the gesture. Owen let her know someone from the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] wanted to speak with she, Dorian, Evie, and Victor. Seeing that Saskia evidently felt woefully unprepared for such a meeting, he put a hand on her shoulder and told he she looked fine, joking that he'd looked a lot worse during his first encounter with ONI. He guided her toward the barracks' exit and down the adjacent corridor, stopping before a door at the end to press one of his hands against an identification lock. When the door slid open the other teens and Daniella were revealed within a conference room. Owen seated himself at the far end of the room's table. Daniella proceeded to offer the four teenage civilians a truncated version of ONI's ground operatives training program and membership within a subset of Meridian's local defense force which would work directly with ONI. After a moment of silence Owen spoke up to say that even though the proposal might seem like a lot then, [[civilian]] life would likely be hard for each of them now.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB25}} | Upon docking within the [[UNSC Cruiser|cruiser]] {{UNSCShip|Sparrow}} Owen was taken away for medical attention.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HBB25|BatB|Chapter=25}} Within two days he had recovered and given a full report of the four teens' activities on the surface to Captain [[Daniella Dellatorre]], a representative of ONI's [[Xeno-Materials Exploitation Group]].
