Alpha-Nine: Difference between revisions

Buck and at least two members<ref name="NA">'''Halo: Reach''', campaign level ''[[New Alexandria (level)|New Alexandria]]''</ref> of Alpha-Nine were present during the failed defense of [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]].<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/buck '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Buck'']</ref> On August 23, he requested assistance from [[SPARTAN-B312]] of [[NOBLE Team]]. After receiving assistance from the [[SPARTAN-III program|Spartan]], Buck left the center of the city.<ref name="NA"/> He was later evacuated, escaping to Earth.

During the rest of the day, the squad regrouped, and fought the Covenant for control of the city. Finally together, minus [[the Rookie]] and Dare, the squad fought waves of incoming Covenant on the top of the [[NMPD headquarters]] building, where Agu was injured by a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]].<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[NMPD HQ|NMPD HQ]]''</ref> The squad then made their way to [[Kikowani Station (location)|Kikowani Station]], where they, upon seeing that escape through train tunnels was impossible, hijacked a [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Type-52 Phantom]] and found a way out of the city. However, Buck suddenly discovered he knew where Dare was, and ordered Crespo to turn back to the city.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Kikowani Station]]''</ref> Meanwhile, the Rookie woke up in his pod. After wandering around the city for a while, he received a transmission from Dare, who was pinned down in the [[New Mombasa Data Center|data center]] below the city. The Rookie made his way to the data center, and eventually found Dare.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Mombasa Streets]]''</ref> Together, they fought their way to the Superintendent's core, where they discovered [[Quick to Adjust|a Huragok]] that had absorbed the Superintendent's data, namely its "[[Vergil]]" subroutine, into itself. As they prepared to leave, Buck arrived to the data center and they made their escape back to the surface.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Data Hive]]''</ref> Traveling along the [[New Mombasa Waterfront Highway|Waterfront Highway]], they faced heavy Covenant resistance. Eventually, they were picked up by the Phantom piloted by Mickey. They left the city as it was [[Glassing|glassed]] by the Covenant [[Truth's fleet|fleet]].<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level ''[[Coastal Highway]]''</ref>

After the Battle of Mombasa, Alpha-Nine guarded the Huragok, now known as Vergil, in the [[ONI]]-appropriated Crimson Wing of the [[Quito Space Tether]]'s terminus for the following weeks.<ref name="c9">'''Halo: New Blood''', Chapter 9</ref> Approximately one month after the battle, [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Johnson]] arrived to interrogate the creature.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', ''[[Coastal Highway|Epilogue]]''</ref> Alpha-Nine was returned to the field shortly afterward and continued to remain in the Sol system fighting against the [[Prophet of Truth]]'s occupational forces while other UNSC forces deployed for the [[Battle of Installation 00]]<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/outpost-outro '''Halo Waypoint:''' ''Outpost Outro'']</ref>, including [[Operation: JOINT MONITOR]] at some point following the [[Battle of Voi]].<ref name="c9"/><ref name="H5GLtd">'''Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition''', ''Spartan Locke's Classified Orders''</ref>
