Stationed at the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[Crow's Nest (Base)|Crow's Nest]] base, until the facility came under heavy [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] attack. Hocus was the pilot of Pelican dropship [[Kilo 023]]. When flying from Crow's Nest, she assisted in extracting [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]], along with a squad of liberated [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], from the jungle near [[Mount Kilimanjaro]]. Following the Covenant attack on Crow's Nest, Hocus was instrumental in evacuating the rest of the survivors of the attack to the human frigate ''{{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}''. She participated in numerous ground insertions during the [[Battle of Installation 00]], including a mission to deactivate the [[Barrier Tower|shield barrier]]s surrounding the [[Installation 00|Ark]]'s [[Control Room]].

It is unknown if Hocus survived the [[Human-Covenant War|war]], since she is not mentioned after the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]]. If she survived, she likely returned to [[Earth]], along with the rest of the remaining humans and [[Covenant Separatist]]s stationed over Installation 00.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Hocus has a very similar role of [[Carol Rawley|Foe Hammer]], the principal [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]] pilot in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. Her voice acting and personality are similar to the original drop ship pilot's, possibly an indirect reference to the character by [[Bungie]].

*Using the [[IWHBYD]] skull on the level Halo on ''[[Halo 3]]'' will cause Johnson to sometimes yell, "I did this for Hocus!" when he gets infected via a glitch on the level, [[Halo (Halo 3 Level)|Halo]].
*On the level Crow's Nest, you can see Hocus' face when she picks up the Marines after the [[Jump Pack Jiralhanae|Jump Pack Brutes]] are killed, by jumping on the front of the Pelican. However, she tends to have a completely different face from time to time, so it is unknown what she really looks like.

*It is common misconception that Sergeant Johnson is a higher rank than Hocus. This is however not true as Hocus is a Lieutenant which is a officer rank and Sergeant Major is a NCO or Non Commissioned Officer. The misconception stems from the fact that Sergeant Johnson often gives orders to her.
