=== Battle of Ariel ===

During the [[Battle of Ariel]] in [[2552]], Dutch served in the same unit with [[Kojo Agu|Romeo]] under the command of MSgt [[Frost]]. Before deployment, they were stationed aboard a [[UNSC ~~Frigate~~]]. Dutch broke up a fight Romeo had started, and because of this, Sgt. Frost confined both of them to their quarters. While in his quarters, Dutch viewed a video message from Gretchen, who was still healing from her injury.

After this, the ODSTs were deployed to the UNSC colony world of [[Ariel]], where all the colonists seemed to have mysteriously disappeared.<ref name="helljumper"/> After the ODSTs split into two-man teams, Dutch and Romeo entered a structure, where they encountered a heavy [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] presence. However, they were attacked by an [[Sangheili]], ~~who~~ threw Romeo off the catwalk. Dutch fought back by plunging a metal railing through the Sangheili's head. Another Sangheili attempted to fire on Dutch only for Romeo to come back up and shoot it down. Unfortunately, the colony's generators went critical, forcing them to grab the corpses and use them as personal shields against the blast. Dutch then decided to tell Romeo his "last words": he was going to get a transfer. When they were blown to the surface, Romeo punched Dutch for just telling that. They then found an injured [[Unggoy]], who they held a gun against, demanding to know what the Covenant were doing. The Unggoy could only say "knowing" but couldn't tell anymore. So they let the Grunt go free, only for Romeo to shoot it, fearing that he may become a liability. They soon traced their squad's tracks, but noticed a [[legion]] of Sangheili headed towards them. As Romeo tried coming up with a plan, three Unggoy tried dropping a boulder on them. A small pebble landing on Romeo's hand beforehand alerted them to the danger, which they barely managed to avoid. They then killed the Unggoy, and took their gear before setting up a few explosives to bring rocks upon the Sangheili. After this, they planned on stealing a Covenant [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]]. First, they killed a Sangheili and an Unggoy, using the latter's body to fool the other Unggoy into thinking that Dutch was being taken captive, before killing them all. They then took control of the Phantom, though what Dutch believed to be lift-off thrusters were actually weapons, which killed a number of Covenant returning to the ship. As they took off, one Sangheili managed to damage the Phantom with his [[Fuel Rod Cannon]], causing the Phantom to crash to the ground. They abandon ship, as the Phantom crashed into a company of Sangheili. Dutch crashed through a building's skylight, before finding a Unggoy holding a plasma gun to Romeo's face. Behind him were the missing colonists. Dutch killed the Unggoy, which fired at Romeo who managed to dodge its shot, before taking out the other one.

However, they were attacked by several [[Sangheili]], one of which threw Romeo off the catwalk. Dutch fought back by plunging a metal railing through the Sangheili's head.

Unfortunately, the colony's generators went critical, forcing them to grab the corpses and use them as personal shields against the blast. Dutch then decided to tell Romeo his "last words": he was going to get a transfer.

Dutch and Romeo then learned from the colonists that the Covenant were forcing them to dig down below, setting off a number of booby traps. Thus the two ODSTs went down below to free the other enslaved colonists. They first scared two Unggoy with inactive bombs, causing them run right into a laser trap, before Dutch tackled the Sangheili into them as well. He and Romeo then made their way past the lasers, before finding what the Covenant was looking for on Ariel: an [[Forerunner|alien]] [[Artificial Intelligence|construct]] called the Knowing. If the Covenant got their hands on it, then they could wipe out humanity down to their last DNA strand. Though Dutch believed that [[the Knowing]] would be beneficial to the UNSC, per ONI standing orders, Romeo preferred that they destroy it. Romeo asked Knowing to activate its self-destruct and direct them out of the complex. As they made their way out, Romeo tripped over a Unggoy's body and broke his ankle. Dutch carried him and managed to escape the blast. When they got back to the surface, they were reunited with their squad, who had seen the Covenant fleeing the planet because of Knowing's destruction.

When they were blown to the surface and woke up, Romeo punched Dutch for telling of his transfer. They then found an injured [[Unggoy]], who they interrogated, demanding to know what the Covenant were doing. The Unggoy could only say "knowing" but couldn't tell anymore.

They barely managed to avoid the attack and then killed the Unggoy, and took their gear before setting up a few explosives to bring rocks upon the Sangheili.

After evading several pursuing Covenant, they formulated a plan to steal a Covenant [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantom]].

They abandon ship, as the Phantom crashed into a company of Sangheili. Dutch crashed through a building's skylight, and found the missing colonists inside, held prisoner by several Unggoy.

After neutralizing the guards, Dutch and Romeo then learned from the colonists that the Covenant were forcing them to dig down below, setting off a number of booby traps in the entrance to [[Ariel Forerunner complex|an alien complex]]. Thus the two ODSTs went down below to free the other enslaved colonists.

Later, Dutch visited Romeo while he was on the the infirmary bed. Romeo stated that he filed in a transfer to be with Dutch; he told his friend that he withdrew his. They both tried Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who would go.
