Catherine Halsey: Difference between revisions

Line 386:

In [[2559#October|October 2559]], now sporting a prosthetic arm, Halsey convinces Captain Lasky to [[Operation: WOLFE|return]] to [[Reach]] for some assets that she had kept in a secret cryovault inside of the destroyed [[CASTLE Base]]. The UNSC forces end up coming up against the [[Banished]] and their allies, but [[Blue Team]] are successful in retrieving Halsey's cryobins and lockbox. Upon their return to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, Halsey greets the Spartans alongside Captain [[Veronica Dare]] of ONI. After briefly bantering with John, she is visibly distressed by the bad state of Blue Team and John is forced to steady her. Halsey calls the Spartans her greatest achievement and asks if John understands that, but he asks if she's alright in return which she evasively responds to. Seeing Halsey so upset by their return in such a bad state causes John to consider her reaction, considering that she had sent them on the mission in the first place and she had seen Spartans return in as bad a state or not return at all. John wonders if, based on some of the things that she has said, Halsey regrets some of her work or at least some of the things that had been necessary to create the Spartans. However, despite knowing the extent to which Halsey had gone, John is glad that she had done it and he and his fellow Spartan-II's are proud of what they had become and what they had done to save humanity. While John wants to tell her that, he is unable to find the words to express himself adequately to her. After recovering her composure, Halsey confirms that the mission was successful and warns him that this isn't going to be easy, but it's the only option that they have. As the approach of a [[Guardian]] is detected, they witness several Pelicans and an [[Albatross]] dropship turn back because they won't be able to reach the ''Infinity'' in time, leaving them stranded on Reach for possibly years to come. Halsey reassures the others that the people that will be stuck on Reach are soldiers who can survive indefinitely on Reach and they won't be alone. Halsey comments that she almost envies them and John agrees with her assessment of the chance of the people that are getting stranded.{{Ref/Novel|Id=SoR|SoR}}

In [[2559#December|December 2559]], using her remaining cloned brains from Cortana's creation that Blue Team had recovered for her from Reach, Halsey successfully creates [[the Weapon]], an exact copy of [[Cortana]], to be used in a mission to [[Installation 07]] to lock down the rogue AI and transport her back to the ''Infinity'' for deletion with the Weapon being programmed to be deleted once her mission is over.
