Dante Kirtley: Difference between revisions

'''[[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] Dante Kirtley''' ran the communications station with Lieutenant [[Burt]] on the {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}} in [[2534]]<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 95</ref>. He was responsible for relaying messages throughout the ship. Kirtley believed that the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] tortured their prisoners, which greatly offended [[Major (UNSC)|Major]] [[Akio Watanabe]]<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 95</ref>.

When Lieutenant [[Badia Campbell]] mortally wounded [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] [[Dmitri Zheng]] and shot him and Li to boot, Kirtley recovered from his shoulder wound and tried to give Zheng medical attention<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 178</ref>. However, the Commander refused, instead going to lock the codes to the [[Shiva-class Nuclear Missile]]s onboard and broadcasting the ship's surrender to [[The Rubble]]<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 181</ref>. On the orders of [[Maria Esquival]], the [[Insurrectionist]]s captured Kirtley and the rest of the crew<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 205</ref>, but the [[SPARTAN-II]]s of [[Gray Team]] soon freed them and they boarded the [[freighter]] ''[[Mighty Sparrow]]''<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 263</ref>, and onboard Kirtley continued to serve as communications officer before they moved back to the ''Midsummer Night''. He was the first to notice that the [[Jackals]] were moving out of the Rubble<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 297</ref>.
