===Operational history=== | |||
Misriah first introduced the M6/Z some time before late [[2552]]. It did not see widespread use, but it did find utility against Flood during the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]]'s brief encounter with the parasite towards the end of the [[Human-Covenant war]],{{Ref/Reuse|CFFood}} particularly against [[infection form]]s like [[pod infector]]s.{{Ref/Reuse|Quote}} The weapon was also present in [[UNSC Tactical Simulator|TACSIM]] training simulations hosted by [[Roland]] aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, at some point after [[2557#December|December 5, 2557]].{{Ref/Game|Id=CoOpIntro|SA|co-op intro cutscene}}{{Ref/Book|H4EVG|Pg=19|Detail=Roland}}{{Ref/Note|The [[artificial intelligence]] [[Roland]] appears during the introduction cutscene for the co-op [[Halo: Spartan Assault co-op missions|Flood missions]], and serves as its narrator. As he was put into service on December 5, 2557, this indicates that the TACSIM training session depicted in the cutscene took place some time after that date.}} These simulated a [[Forerunner]] location called [[X-40]], and populated it with [[Flood]] forms, in order to train [[Spartan]]s to fight the parasite, should the UNSC ever encounter it again.{{Ref/Game|Id=SACoOp|SA|[[Halo: Spartan Assault co-op missions|co-op missions]]}}{{Ref/Reuse|CoOpIntro}} | |||
