In [[2555|August 2555]], Mickey participated in [[Operation: COALPEPPER|a mission]] alongside Buck and Romeo at a United Rebel Front facility on [[Talitsa]] to recover the captured Huragok [[Quick to Adjust]], and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]]. The three were sent on the mission by Dare due to their past experiences with the Huragok.{{Ref/Reuse|nb148}} On the way to the rebel base, they were surrounded and captured by rebel forces, whereupon Mickey's treachery was revealed to his teammates.<ref name="nb155">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 155-157'' (Google Play edition)</ref> As the rebels, led by Doctor Schein, led Buck and Romeo back to their base, the latter began to insult Mickey and Schein. In response, Mickey attacked and inadvertently pushed Romeo down a hill. While the URF soldiers chased after him, Buck used the opportunity to attack Mickey and succeeded in moving the fight just out of sight of Schein, and Romeo and his pursuers. Meanwhile, Romeo began to massacre the other rebels. As their brawl continued, Buck eventually managed to knock Mickey unconscious with a headbutt. Schein attempted to help Mickey and shot Buck in the back. Holding him at gunpoint, Schein attempted to use Buck as a hostage to force Romeo to surrender. However, Buck used his helmet to knock the doctor to the ground and smashed his own rifle against his face, killing him.<ref name="nb169">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 161-169'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | In [[2555|August 2555]], Mickey participated in [[Operation: COALPEPPER|a mission]] alongside Buck and Romeo at a United Rebel Front facility on [[Talitsa]] to recover the captured Huragok [[Quick to Adjust]], and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]].

According to his file, he is highly creative, a risk-taker, and a daredevil.{{Ref/Reuse|oni}} Despite being an experienced combatant, he was somewhat unique among the members of Alpha-Nine, never having witnessed [[glassing]] prior to the Battle of Mombasa. He held the lowest rank and was the last to enlist of all the members of Alpha-Nine, though he joined the fireteam before [[the Rookie]], which is how the lance corporal got his nickname.{{Ref/Reuse|guide}} | ||
