Phoenix Logs/UNSC Units/Lance Corporal Sparks
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
< Phoenix Logs | UNSC Units
- lst Squad, lst Platoon, B Company, 9th Shock Troops Battalion.
- Major Vaughan's command squad, callsign Sunray 1-1, is the lead element of
- Boomerang Company, the UNSC's most elite force of Orbital Drop Shock
- Troopers [though that's what they all say].
- Designated Marksman.
- Sparks is the squad sniper, and something of a wildcard even among the Spirit
- of Fire's impressively large cast of misfits and rogues. Sparks' long list of non—
- judicial punishments and reprimands would have landed him a full—time billet in
- the ship's brig were it not for two unique qualities: his unparalleled skill with a
- SRS-99 anti-materiel rifle, and supernatural ability to acquire the rarest [and
- tastiest] meal packs on the ship. Luckily, Helljumpers value good chow and a
- good shot more than adherence to UNSC regulations, which keeps this "Lance
- Criminal" from behind bars—so far.
- Sparks provides fire support for the command squad with his sniper rifle and
- assists Turpin by designating priority targets for her drone. He also contributes
- to the squad's morale with his vast knowledge of terrible jokes and patently
- ridiculous [but completely true] "war stories" from his civilian days.
