Carol Rawley: Difference between revisions

Not long after the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}} made a blind jump to the [[Threshold]] system, [[Covenant]] forces descended once again upon the ship. Foe Hammer escaped in the ensuing battle, and descended to the surface of [[Installation 04]], where many [[United Nations Space Command]] forces had landed.  While everyone else was escaping in lifeboats, she decided to lead the rest of the pilots and take their Pelicans down feeling that they would be useful. There, she helped [[John-117]] and [[Cortana (AI)|Cortana]] pick up scattered [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and get them out of the battlefield and back to [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. She and Frye assisted the [[Master Chief]] and Cortana many times through the [[Battle of Installation 04]], including inserting them to rescue [[Captain Keyes]] in a raid on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'' and sending reinforcements when needed, landing them and a squad of Marines on a beach to take the [[Silent Cartographer]], ferrying them to the [[Control Room]], and taking them to the [[Flood Containment Facility]].<ref>[[343 Guilty Spark (Level)]]</ref> Unlike most UNSC forces on Halo, Foe Hammer managed to survive the Flood outbreak by remaining airborne.  However, she was shot down and killed by two [[Covenant]] [[Banshee]]s when she attempted to pick up the Master Chief and escape [[Installation 04]] minutes before the ''Autumn'' exploded and destroyed [[Halo]].<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 338-339</ref>

Foe Hammer was considered one of the best crewmen of the {{UNSCship|Pillar of Autumn}}, and possibly in the United Nations Space Command itself. Fear was never expressed in her voice, and she was considered to have had the efficiency to get the job done. Foe Hammer put soldiers down on landing zones filled with hostile forces without hesitation, took heavy fire, ignored the odds and the consequences, and did not panic.

*The [[call sign]] "Foe Hammer" comes from the fourteenth level of [[Marathon|Marathon Infinity]]. "Foe Hammer" is also a literal translation of the name of [[Wikipedia:Gandalf|Gandalf]]'s sword, Glamdring, as well as the name of the dragon-slaying arrow in Stephen King's book ''The Eyes of the Dragon''. Her callsign is commonly written as "Foehammer" by fans. It should be noted that ''Halo: The Flood'' and the ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' credits refer to her as "Foe Hammer"<ref>[http://halocinema.bungie.org/halo/34_finalcredits_sm.wmv ''Halo: CE Credits'' at 01:28]</ref>

*Foe Hammer is addressed by Cortana as a Lieutenant in the game, but is mentioned as a Captain in the book. However, it is possible that Cortana was addressing Lieutenant Frye, though unlikely, as Foe Hammer is the senior officer on board, and as such in charge of E419.
