During the [[Battle of Algolis]], the prototype exoskeleton was ordered destroyed under the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]]. Despite this order, the Marine known as [[Ghost (Marine)|Ghost]] took control of the exoskeleton to use it to buy escaping Marines and civilians time to escape for the duration of the self-destruct sequence. The exoskeleton took heavy damage, but Ghost completed his mission. Once the timer ran out, Ghost activated the self-destruct, obliterating all of the nearby Covenant forces in a nuclear explosion.<ref name="waypoint"/><ref>'''Halo Legends''', ''Prototype''</ref> However, not all data on the Mark I ADS was lost when Algolis fell, leading to the creation of the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I (J) ADS|"[J]" variant]] of the suit.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/folks-need-heroes '''Canon Fodder 98.2:''' ''Folks Need Heroes'']</ref>
