Felicia was transferred from Gage's squad, and for the next twenty-seven years, fought hard in the war against the Covenant, and was promoted to the rank of [[Colonel]].


During the Battle of [[Skopje]] in [[2547]], while holed up in the museum, Felicia was reunited with Gage for the first time in over two decades. Gage and another ODST had just been rescued from approaching Covenant forces by a [[SPARTAN-II Program|strange soldier]] clad in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|gray-green armor]]. Felicia had Gage transferred to the ship she was on, the {{UNSCShip|Chares}}, and while retreating the planet after another defeat, she showed him that Eric had come out of his coma after five years and had become a [[UNSC Navy]] pilot. The three were delighted to be together again, and already were having talks of retirement.

In the fall of 2552, five years after reuniting with her friends, Felicia was involved in an operation during the [[Battle of New Jerusalem]] to infiltrate the city of [[Mount Haven]], which was under siege by the Covenant, who were looking for [[Forerunner|alien]] artifacts. Simultaneously, several former CMA members were performing a clandestine operation to extract a massive supply of [[gold]] from a bank. However, after infiltrating the bank, the ODST team discovered a class of school children and their teacher hiding in the underground vault, hoping to survive the planet's inevitable [[glassing]]. After loading two [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelicans]] full of gold, the ODSTs knew there was no room for the children. To deceive the civilians, the ODSTs claimed that the gold would be used in the UNSC's war effort. Gage, who had seen too many people killed by the Covenant, was in strong favor of postponing the mission to save them. The other ODSTs, who claimed the children were as good as dead, disagreed, causing an argument. Felicia stepped in, wanting to call in more Pelicans, but the other ODSTs had already raised their weapons at one another. In an instant, Gage was shot in the abdomen, three other squad members were dead, and Felicia was shot in the neck and fatally wounded. Gage rushed to her side, but she died in his arms.
In [[2552#September|September 2552]], five years after reuniting with her friends, Felicia was involved in an operation during the [[Battle of New Jerusalem]]<ref group="note">It has been confirmed in a comment by [[Tobias Buckell]] [http://goingrampant.blogspot.com/2010/03/examination-of-female-characters-part-3.html here] that the rookie in ''Dirt'' is the same character as [[The Rookie]] from ''Halo 3: ODST''. Thus, the battle depicted in the story has to be the Battle of New Jerusalem, as it was the last battle in which The Rookie participated before the [[Battle of Earth]].</ref> to infiltrate the city of [[Mount Haven]], which was under siege by the Covenant, who were looking for [[Forerunner|alien]] artifacts.

Felicia's death deeply affected Gage, leading him to embark on a suicide mission in which he lured the other rogue ODST's and hundreds of Covenant into the mountains surrounding the city with the gold and the artifacts. He then killed them all, including himself, by detonating a [[Shiva-class Nuclear Missile|Shiva nuclear warhead]].
