Some time before 2551, Miles was stationed on the {{UNSCShip|Kronstadt}} as a part of a squad led by [[Master Sergeant]] [[Cortez]], along with a contingent of ODSTs from the [[105th Shock Troops Division]].{{Ref/Film| | Some time before 2551, Miles was stationed on the {{UNSCShip|Kronstadt}} as a part of a squad led by [[Master Sergeant]] [[Cortez]], along with a contingent of ODSTs from the [[105th Shock Troops Division]].{{Ref/Film|HLeg|Story=The Babysitter}}{{Ref/Note|As Miles enlisted in 2540, the mission on Heian had to have occurred during or after 2540.

During the mission, he worked alongside [[Cal-141]], a [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-II supersoldier]], much to the chagrin of [[O'Brien (Heian)|O'Brien]], the squad's backup sniper. During the mission, Miles continuously teased O'Brien about the fact that the sniper owed Cal his life twice and that he should thank the Spartan. | ||
When Cal attempted to shoot the Prophet, a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|chieftain]] that Cal had fought earlier to save O'Brien assaulted the squad and fatally wounded Cal, who rushed to their defense. Miles responded as he, Cortez, and O'Brien tackled the chieftain just as it was about to strike Cal once more. Miles then shot the Brute in the face, killing him. Although they succeeded in assassinating the Prophet, the death of Cal and another squadmate, [[Checkman]], hit Miles and his comrades very hard. Afterward, it became evident that Cal's voluntary sacrifice had affected the squad's impression of Spartans, as they scolded an [[UNSC Army|Army]] [[specialist]], [[Berger]], who made light of the fact that the Spartan had passed away on the mission. | When Cal attempted to shoot the Prophet, a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|chieftain]] that Cal had fought earlier to save O'Brien assaulted the squad and fatally wounded Cal, who rushed to their defense.
