During her survey travels for the SPARTAN-II candidates, Halsey was required to be supervised by a military official, an order she resented. She ended up choosing then-[[Lieutenant, Junior Grade]] [[Jacob Keyes]]. Halsey had examined his files and found he had refused to testify against one of his instructors despite the teacher's error causing the deaths of 14 students. From this Halsey deduced that Keyes could be trusted to keep a secret, a useful trait in her unethical mission. The two were initially aloof to each other aboard the ''Han'', especially since Keyes did not initially know the purpose of their mission. He eventually realized it, though, and discussed with Halsey about the implications of her project and her decision to tell the child [[Soren-066|Soren]] the truth.<ref group="note">In ''[[Pariah]]'', Keyes knew the reason behind Dr. Halsey's observation mission. However, ''Halo: The Fall of Reach'' and Halsey's journal clearly indicate that Keyes was unaware of the mission's true nature, though it is implied that he later found out as he told an adult John-117 that they had met before.</ref> By the time they parted after two months working together, Keyes and Halsey were on much more amicable terms, to the point that Halsey began sketching him frequently in her journal and even referred to him as "my lieutenant". For his safety and in thanks, Keyes was reassigned but given a full [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|lieutenant]] commission, at Halsey's request. | During her survey travels for the SPARTAN-II candidates, Halsey was required to be supervised by a military official, an order she resented.

In November [[2524]] the two were reunited while attending a conference at the [[University of Calippus]], and the two conceived a child, Miranda. While she initially raised her daughter on Reach for several years, Halsey's work impeded her from being able to care for Miranda, and Jacob ended up raising her instead. The two did not see each other again until August 12, 2552, a moment that Halsey had both hoped for but dreaded. Keyes still remained a gentleman to her, and they spoke at length on the topics of Miranda, the Spartans, and his "[[Keyes Loop]]", and his assigning to [[Operation: RED FLAG|RED FLAG]], also at Halsey's request. It was the last time the two saw each other before Keyes's death at [[Installation 04]]. | In November [[2524]] the two were reunited while attending a conference at the [[University of Calippus]], and the two [[Reproduction|conceived]] a child, Miranda.
