Jeffries: Difference between revisions

Petty Officer '''Jeffries''' was a [[D77-TC|Pelican]] pilot in the [[UNSC Navy]].<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 24</ref>

Jeffries was a crew member on board the [[UNSC]] [[UNSC destroyer|destroyer]] {{UNSCShip|Armageddon's Edge}}. He had a wife and two children.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 26</ref> Although he was laid-back in his behavior, he was incredibly skilled in [[Pelican]] piloting. He piloted the Pelican [[Gamma 54]].

After the Armageddon's Edge&nbsp;arrived at [[Chi Rho]] in the [[Ectanus 45]] system, Jeffries flew [[Lieutenant (UNSC)|Lieutenant]] [[Jacob Keyes]] to the Bacigalupi Memorial Nature Preserve so that [[Private (UNSC)|Private]] [[Tom Gerencer]] could drive Keyes to [[Camp Patmos]]. <ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 29</ref>

Keyes was impressed by Jeffries' piloting ability (even though he disapproved of Jeffries' showing off) and during his meeting with [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] [[Dmitri Zheng]] and [[Vice Admiral]] [[Jean Mawikizi]], Keyes requested that Jeffries be transferred to the frigate {{UNSCShip|Midsummer Night}}, which they would use in a mission to suppress [[Jason Kincaide]]'s rioting on [[Charybdis IX]]. After Keyes informed him of this, Jeffries warned him of rumors he heard about Zheng's past. Keyes then lectured Jeffries on his habit of not following scheduled flight plans. <ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 39</ref>

Onboard the ''Midsummer Night'', Jeffries became fast friends with fellow Pelican pilot [[Finlay]]. Two days after joining the ''Midsummer Night'', Jeffries flew a platoon of [[ODST]]s to the civilian cargo hauler ''[[Finnegan's Wake]]''. When insurrectionist explosives destroyed Gamma 54, Jeffries was lightly wounded. [[ODST]]s pumped [[biofoam]] into him and stabilized him. Shortly afterward, he was sent back to the ''Midsummer Night'', where he made a full recovery.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 54</ref> He later helped [[Faison]], [[Chesnick]], and the other surviving [[ODST]]s prank Keyes: Jeffries' condition was reported to Keyes as serious,&nbsp;so the lieutenant&nbsp;(feeling guilty for transferring Jeffries to the ship) rushed to the medical bay, where he was tackled by the ODSTs, who tattooed him as a show of how impressed they were with how he handled the attack on the ''Finnegan's Wake''. <ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 102</ref>

Shortly afterward, Jeffries piloted a new [[Pelican]] and transported [[Major]] [[Akio Watanabe]], [[Jacob Keyes]], and other officers to their mission to suppress [[Jason Kincaide]]'s riot in the [[Scyllion Warehouse District]] on Charybdis IX. Later, Jeffries' dropship was shot down by Insurrectionists during an attempt to extract Lieutenant Keyes after the mission went wrong. <ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', page 123</ref>
