Solomon-069: Difference between revisions

By early [[2526]], Solomon had been assigned to [[Green Team]], led by [[Kurt-051]]. On [[2526#March|March 5]] of that year, he and eleven other Spartans were organized into an assault squad with orders to board and capture a [[Covenant frigate]], ''[[Radiant Arrow]]'', orbiting the planet [[Netherop]]. Solomon and the other Spartans were deployed from the prowler {{UNSCShip|Starry Night}} for an [[Extra-vehicular activity|EVA]] [[Boarding|boarding action]] to accomplish this task.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS1|HSS|Chapter=1}} Using a flight of [[Type-27 Banshee]]s for cover, they approached the vessel.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS2|HSS|Chapter=2}} Once they [[Skirmish over Netherop|boarded]] the vessel via its underslung hangar, they eliminated the Covenant forces within and prepared to move deeper into the frigate, without the rest of crew realizing they had been boarded. [[Blue Team]] spearheaded the assault, clearing rooms along the ship's main corridor as Solomon and the rest of Green Team secured these chambers and any intersections they encountered. As the two teams stealthily continued on, a sensor operator aboard one of the prowlers "accidentally" broadcast a transmission on the Spartans' [[COM|SQUADCOM]], revealing their presence to the rest of the frigate's crew. Unbeknownst to them, the crewman's apparent mistake was actually part of an [[insurrectionist]] plot designed by [[Hector Nyeto]], intending to get the Spartans killed. With their presence known, Blue and Green Teams split up, with John leading his team to the bridge. Green Team would make their way to the [[engineering]] section until John informed them of the ship's imminent [[Self-destruct|self-destruction]] at the hands of its [[shipmaster]], and ordered them to evacuate. All of the Spartans—including Solomon—made it to safety before the ''Radiant Arrow'' detonated.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HSS3|HSS|Chapter=3}}
