Between 2540 and 2551,<ref name="Chronology"/> Cal-141 was sent on an operation, along with the four [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s she commanded, to assassinate a [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|Minor Prophet]] and gather intel of unknown ruins on a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-held planet, [[Heian]]. The squad consisted of [[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]], [[O'Brien (Heian)|O'Brien]], [[Cortez]], and [[Checkman]]. Only three remained after the drop, as Checkman was killed in the upper atmosphere during the [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle#Re-entry|orbital insertion]]. After landing, she rescued O'Brien from drowning in a swamp. However, the ODST expressed no gratitude and yelled at Cal for having thrown him about. | Between 2540 and 2551,<ref name="Chronology"/> Cal-141 was sent on an operation, along with the four [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s she commanded, to assassinate a [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|Minor Prophet]] and gather intel of unknown ruins on a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-held planet, [[Heian]].

They, like all ODSTs, had a bitter rivalry with the Spartans and considered them to be freaks, but Cal's efforts in the mission and her actions in saving O'Brien's life many times until the loss of her own had changed their thoughts and opinions on the Spartans. This change was shown well as the ODST team later returned to their ship, where both Cortez and Dutch angrily scolded a [[UNSC Army|soldier]], [[Berger]], for mocking Cal's abilities and joking about her death. O'Brien pondered on how he might be dead if it hadn't been for her. | ||
