Line 43: Line 43:
Although his superiors assured him they would find a better fit for him, Soren remained a paper pusher until he was sixteen. As his "temporary" position began to feel more and more permanent it became hard for Soren not to feel resentful. This made the young Spartan particularly vulnerable to the ideas of a technician named [[Partch]] who began feeding him ideas sympathetic to the Insurrection. Slowly and almost imperceptibly until he found himself on the side of the rebels.

After several months of hinting Partch told Soren that they were going to defect, but first they were going to obtain a "souvenir" for their cause. One night, the two broke into a geological research lab, forced open a locked cabinet and retrieved a small titanium case, however they were interrupted by [[Randall]], another Spartan. Randall was justifably suspicious of their explanations, and escorted them out of the lab so that he could verify that they were supposed to be there. As they left the lab Soren attacked Randall, and as the two struggled Partch shot Randall with a tranquilizer dart. Soren and Partch then fled the facility and commandeered a [[C709 Longsword-class Interceptor|Longsword fighter]] which Partch had pre-prepared and hacked, complete with a dumb [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] named [[Captain Teach]] who Partch had fast-grafted to convert him to their cause. Their plan to escape Reach failed however as they were pursued by other aircraft which sufficiently damaged the Longsword to prevent it from breaking free of the planet's gravity. Captain Teach and the backup computer system were damaged or destroyed, forcing Soren to manually crash land the craft himself.

When Mendez and his Marines found the wreckage they founded relatively little left, however they only found Partch's body. Dr. Halsey told Mendez that she believed Soren had survived the crash, but due to his growing up in the woods, Soren would not be found unless he wanted to be. Halsey had Mendez give up the search, arguing that Soren was no threat to them: he was not a traitor, just a lost soul. Without a body, Soren was officially declared MIA
