In [[2555|August of 2555]], Buck participated in [[Operation: COALPEPPER|a mission]] alongside Mickey and Romeo at a [[United Rebel Front]] facility on [[Talitsa]] to recover the captured Huragok [[Quick to Adjust]], and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]]. The three were sent on the mission by Dare due to their past experiences with the Huragok.<ref name="nb148"/> On the way to the base, however, they were surrounded and forced to surrender by a large number of insurgents; it was revealed that Crespo had betrayed the team and revealed their mission to the URF.<ref name="nb155">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 155-157'' (Google Play edition)</ref> As the rebels, led by Doctor [[Schein]], led Buck and Romeo back to their base, the latter began to insult Mickey and Schein. In response, Mickey attacked and inadvertently pushed Romeo down a hill. While the URF soldiers chased after him, Buck used the opportunity to attack Mickey and succeeded in moving the fight just out of sight of Schein, and Romeo and his pursuers. Romeo learned of Buck's situation and began to massacre the rebels. As their brawl continued, Buck eventually managed to knock Mickey unconscious with a headbutt. However, Buck was shot in the back by Schein. The doctor held him at gunpoint and attempted to use him to force Romeo to surrender, but while Schein was distracted, Buck threw his helmet at Schein's chest and knocked him to the ground. Buck grabbed Schein's rifle and smashed the shoulder stock against his face, killing him.<ref name="nb169">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 161-169'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | In [[2555|August of 2555]], Buck participated in [[Operation: COALPEPPER|a mission]] alongside Mickey and Romeo at a [[United Rebel Front]] facility on [[Talitsa]] to recover the captured Huragok [[Quick to Adjust]], and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]].

Taking Schein's rifle, Buck waited for Mickey to gain consciousness and watched as Romeo eliminated the rebels. After eliminating the rebels nearby, Romeo moved on to rescue Quick to Adjust and Sadie Endesha. When Mickey awoke, he asked Buck to kill him. However, Buck opted not to and the two sat down together until a [[dropship]] arrived to extract them.<ref name="nb170">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 170-173'' (Google Play edition)</ref> When they returned to the Spartan base on Mars, Buck had Mickey handed over to Jun-A266 instead of the ONI operatives that were waiting for their return, since he believed that Mickey was still a Spartan. Afterwards, Buck was congratulated by Musa for his actions on Talitsa. At Buck's request, Musa reassigned Romeo and Buck to another team, with Buck serving as a member of the team rather than as its leader.<ref>'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 175-179'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | Taking Schein's rifle, Buck waited for Mickey to gain consciousness and watched as Romeo eliminated the rebels.

Afterwards, Buck was congratulated by Musa for his actions on Talitsa, stating that the fact that he had not executed Mickey when products of the older SPARTAN programs like the Master Chief might of (and Jun definitely would have) proved that the SPARTAN-IV program was an amazing triumph, all because of Buck's humanity.
