Douglas-042: Difference between revisions

Douglas was a member of Red Team during the Battle for Arcadia in February 2531 and was tasked with delaying the [[Covenant]] forces long enough to evacuate the civilians of [[Arcadia]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', level ''[[Arcadia City]]''</ref> Afterward, he and the rest of Red Team linked up with forces from the UNSC ''Spirit of Fire'' and assisted in a counter-attack on a Covenant outpost.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', level ''[[Arcadia Outskirts]]''</ref> Once the plan to infiltrate a large Covenant [[Energy shielding|energy shield dome]] was passed down from [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[James Gregory Cutter|James Cutter]] of the ''Spirit of Fire'', he and Red Team remained with the crew to assist with the assignment. They prevented the destruction of several prototype [[M-145D Rhino|M-145D "Rhino" artillery tanks]] while they ensured that the shield was destroyed.<ref>'''Halo Wars''', level ''[[Dome of Light]]''</ref> After [[Sergeant]] [[John Forge]]'s forces triumphed over a [[Type-29 Scarab|Scarab assault platform]], the SPARTANs searched for Covenant survivors in the jungles on a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]].<ref>'''Halo Wars''', level ''[[Scarab (level)|Scarab]]''</ref> Upon hearing that [[Ellen Anders|Professor Ellen Anders]] had been abducted by [[Arbiter]] [[Ripa 'Moramee]], they went to the ''Spirit of Fire'', which soon jumped into [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] in pursuit of the Covenant vessel carrying Anders.<ref name="signal">'''Halo Wars''', level ''[[Anders' Signal]]''</ref><ref group="note">The in-game timeline of ''Halo Wars'' states that Douglas-042 made a suggestion to destroy 'Moramee's vessel upon its departure from Arcadia, that he fought Sergeant Forge in the mess hall of the ''Spirit of Fire'' over the suggestions, and that the two later bonded over meals. However, Jerome-092 instead makes the suggestion in the game proper. Jerome is also the only Spartan seen to interact directly with Forge during the campaign. More importantly, Forge takes Jerome's place in the suicidal attempt to destroy the shield world's star, suggesting the camaraderie developed between Forge and the Jerome, rather than Douglas.</ref>
