Owen-B096: Difference between revisions

At some point following the ultimately futile defense of [[Meridian]], Owen participated in scorched-earth holding actions in the [[Sol system]].{{Ref/Reuse|Dispatch}} The details concerning these particular actions are not slated to ever be publicized or known to the wider [[UNSC]].{{Ref/Reuse|Dispatch}} In late [[2553]] Owen and another [[Spartan-III]], [[Hazel-A302]], met with the [[Spartan-II]] [[Linda-058]], the [[Smart AI|volitional]] [[Artificial intelligence|A.I.]] [[Athos]], and an ONI officer.{{Ref/Reuse|HLW4}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HLW1|HLW|Issue=1}}{{Ref/Reuse|HLW4}} Linda and Athos had recently returned from a mission in which they had secured another A.I. named [[Gabriela]] thought lost around a year prior during the [[Fall of Reach|Fall]] of [[Reach]].{{Ref/Reuse|HLW4}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HLW3|HLW|Issue=3}} The record of all cataloged human history which Gabriela contained made her unique among A.I.s, so Owen and Hazel were tasked with escorting her to [[Earth]].{{Ref/Reuse|HLW4}}{{Ref/Reuse|HLW3}} There she would assume the role of caretaker for an [[Outpost Discovery]], a mobile exploratory initiative focused on the education, recruitment, inspiration, and training of the next generation of UNSC personnel.{{Ref/Reuse|Dispatch}}{{Ref/Comic|Id=HLW4|HLW|Issue=4}} Both Spartans joined her thereafter in assisting with the outposts, which involved traveling to various major population centers on [[humanity]]'s home world and interacting directly with [[civilian]]s in attendance.{{Ref/Reuse|Dispatch}}{{Ref/Reuse|HLW4}}{{Ref/Note|''[[Halo: Outpost Discovery]]'' is canonically set at some point between [[2554]] and [[2557]]. The attraction known as ''[[The Ring Experience]]'' at each ''Outpost Discovery'' location features the exploration of a [[Halo ring]], which cannot be [[Installation 05|Delta]] or [[Gamma Halo]] due to the planet it is shown to orbit. The experience's executive producer, Jason Ambler, believes it is supposed to be [[Installation 07|Zeta Halo]]. If this is the case, ''Outpost Discovery'' cannot be set any earlier than the point in [[2555]] when the [[Zeta Halo project|exploration]] of Zeta Halo began. Officially, the identity of the installation shown in ''The Ring Experience'' is presently undefined by [[343 Industries]]. It should also be noted that the canonical dating of ''Outpost Discovery'' may be able to be further narrowed by a display which claims it is believed [[343 Guilty Spark]] was destroyed in [[2552]]. It was in late [[2555]] that the [[UNSC]] first learned of this [[monitor]]'s survival.}}
