Olivia and the other Spartan-III survivors of the Battle of Onyx continued to serve with Blue Team | |||
===Gao=== | |||
In [[2553#May|May 2553]], Blue Team was attached to ONI's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] [[Operation: JOVIAN WHISTLE|deployed]] to the [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]] to search for a [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]], [[Intrepid Eye]], that had been detected on the planet by the battalion's [[Commander]] [[Murtag Nelson]]. The UNSC's presence on the planet was largely undesired by the traditionally independent Gao. For over a month, the UNSC attempted to capture the ancilla, who, in turn, regularly harassed the 717th with her [[Aggressor Sentinel]]s. Additionally, upon learning of the UNSC's intentions, Intrepid Eye began covertly murdering Gao citizens in the [[Montero Cave System]] in an effort to create discord between the Gaos and the UNSC. The [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] dispatched [[Special inspector|Special Inspector]] [[Veta Lopis]] to find the murderer and Nelson had members of Blue Team aid her in her efforts to allow the UNSC to return searching for the ancilla without Gao interference. Lopis was initially convinced that the murderer was one of the Spartans, with her suspicions eventually focusing on Mark-G313 in particular.<ref name="hll"/> | |||
On [[2553#July|July 4, 2553]], Blue Team escorted Veta Lopis and her team to [[Crime Scene India]] within the Montero Cave System to study a recently-discovered victim. From there, Olivia, Ash, Mark, and Fred accompanied Lopis and her partner [[Cirilo]] to the last known location of [[Major]] [[Ira Halal]] and [[Private]] [[Hayes]], both of whom turned out to have been murdered. The Gao investigators decided to follow a trail of an unidentified fluid—in fact belonging to the wounded [[Huragok]] [[Roams Alone]]—deeper into the caverns, with the Spartans coming along.<ref name="hll"/> | |||
[[File:Halo Last Light cover.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Olivia, [[Fred-104]], [[Special Inspector]] [[Veta Lopis]], [[Ash-G099]] and [[Mark-G313]] in [[Gao]]'s [[Montero Cave System]].]] | |||
As they reached a large cavern, after nearly a twelve hours' descent, Intrepid Eye attacked the humans with her last four remaining Sentinels. Though the Spartans were able to destroy the Forerunner drones, Cirilo was killed and Olivia was seriously wounded, with both of her legs broken by a large falling rock. Following her injury, she destroyed a Sentinel bare-handed in the berserk state experienced by members of Gamma Company under intense pain and stress due to their [[Project CHRYSANTHEMUM#Gamma Company|altered brain chemistry]]. With the engagement over, Fred left to investigate a nearby pit in hopes of finding the [[Covert Support Base 4276|Forerunner base]] they were searching for. While waiting for Fred, the Gammas and Lopis were approached by Roams Alone, a [[Lifeworker]] Huragok who began to heal Olivia's wounds.<ref name="hll"/> | |||
Fred eventually returned and, having encountered a [[Vacuum energy|strange anomaly]] in the Forerunner facility, decided that the party should take the Huragok with them, return to the surface and report to Nelson. However, Olivia had lost her "Smoothers"—drugs that controlled the Gammas' destabilizing augmentations—during the fighting, making it inevitable that the young Spartans would run out of them on the way out. Mark volunteered to take only one of the remaining five Smoother injections, leaving two doses each for Ash and Olivia, while Mark subsequently took point as the group began their nearly one and a half day's climb toward the surface. While Roams Alone had improved Olivia's condition, she was still unable to move by herself and had to be carried on a litter.<ref name="hll"/> | |||
Stopping at Crime Scene India on the way, the party eventually reached the [[Gallery of the Inverted Forest]]. There, they were approached by a worm-like Forerunner device— in fact an [[inspection drone]] which Intrepid Eye was inhabiting. While isolated from the others, Olivia and Lopis were confronted by [[Petora Zoyas]], who held Olivia at gunpoint and appeared to know Lopis, telling her that they should take both the Huragok and the Forerunner device with them and escape. Meanwhile, however, Fred used a [[scramble grenade]] on Intrepid Eye's inspection drone, generating a blinding flash of light; Olivia used this to an advantage and promptly killed Zoyas by stabbing the Gao insurgent in the chest with her [[combat knife]]. The incident made Olivia exceedingly distrustful of Lopis, convinced that the inspector was a spy in league with Zoyas.<ref name="hll"/> | |||
With the Forerunner inspection drone in their possession, the group proceeded to the surface at the embattled village of [[Wendosa]] in order to reinforce the 717th, which was under attack by the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]]. Roams Alone having worked on her, Olivia was now able to move on her own and contribute to the fighting to some extent. Informed by Marine Sergeant [[Nguyen]] that Fred was to return to the [[Montero Vitality Center]] with the ancilla, the group fought their way through Wendosa and Fred boarded a [[UH-144 Falcon|Falcon]], but the craft was shot down and crashed in the jungle several [[kilometer]]s away. As the battle in Wendosa began to turn to the UNSC's favor, Olivia and the others reunited with the rest of Blue Team, who soon decided to make their way to the Falcon's crash site before the Keepers could reach it. Before they departed, the Gammas took double doses of Smoothers, stabilizing their mental condition. After a series of sniper battles along the [[Briones Ridge]], the group arrived at the crash site. With the eventual help of [[Alpha Company (717th)|Alpha Company]], they fended off the Keepers and recovered Fred as well as the ancilla. The Spartans were brought to the [[Montero Vitality Center]] to recover, with Olivia and Ash personally checking on Lopis after she regained consciousness.<ref name="hll"/> | |||
Meanwhile, the newly-elected [[President of Gao]] [[Arlo Casille]] sent [[Gao Republic]]'s military to forcefully remove the UNSC from the planet. Olivia and Ash joined Fred at the [[Portable Spartan Support Module]] in order to acquire their armor. However, Intrepid Eye had taken control of the module and attempted to suffocate Lopis inside the [[airlock]], but the Spartans were able to free the inspector and neutralize Intrepid Eye's inspection drone. Determined to prevent the Forerunner site from falling into Casille's hands, Blue Team, Lopis, and Roams Alone embarked to destroy the facility with a [[HAVOK tactical nuclear weapon]], while the rest of the 717th evacuated. Pursued by [[Wyvern]]s carrying [[Gao battle-jumpers]], the team traveled in Warthogs to the [[Well of Echoes]], below which the Forerunner support base was located, and boarded the [[Owl]] [[UNSC Silent Claw|''Silent Claw'']], with [[Serin Osman|Rear Admiral Serin Osman]] waiting onboard. Mark dropped the HAVOK into the Well of Echoes, destroying the Forerunner base.<ref name="hll"/> | |||
With Intrepid Eye successfully captured, the UNSC left Gao. Fearing that Gamma Company's illegal brain mutations may cause a crippling public relations scandal were they to be discovered, Osman had Mark, Ash, and Olivia officially marked as [[killed in action]] and transferred to a classified [[Ferret]] team of which she gave command of to Lopis.<ref name="hll"/> | |||
===ONI career=== | |||
In the following months, Olivia, Ash, Mark, and Veta Lopis underwent a training regimen to become ONI field operatives, with Olivia assigned as the Ferret Team's information specialist. While the Gammas were exceptionally quick to learn the new skills, their military background meant they would often instinctually fall back to lethal force in life-or-death situations. During this time, they regularly moved from one planet to another; the colonies they visited included [[Jastolo]].<ref name="ant">'''Halo: Fractures''', "A Necessary Truth"</ref> | |||
====Dark Moon rising==== | |||
On [[2553#October|October 14, 2553]], the Ferret Team participated in a training exercise against [[Oscar Squad]] at [[UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A]] on [[Neos Atlantis]]. For the mission, Olivia adopted the cover identity of "Lieutenant Bati", wearing makeup applied to make her appear older than her actual age. At the facility's [[officers' club]], she was approached by a dubious-looking man appearing to show interest in her—in fact the reporter [[Spencer Hume]], who spiked her drink with [[nicothiotal]] in an attempt to coax her into revealing classified information about the Spartans and Gamma Company in particular. Realizing Olivia had been drugged, Lopis ordered the rest of the team into action. After Mark seized Hume, Lopis escorted Olivia back into the Halsey Suite, where the team was staying, and administered a counteragent to the nicothiotal.<ref name="ant"/> | |||
Mark and Ash returned to the Halsey Suite shortly after, with Mark having been attacked by an unidentified woman on the way. Not long after, they were joined by Admiral Osman, accompanied by Oscar Squad's [[Svenson|Commander Svenson]], who claimed to have witnessed Mark and Ash carrying a body and demanded an explanation. After a brief argument between Lopis, Svenson and Osman, the admiral left the suite, giving the Ferret Team two hours to resolve the situation. Ash and Mark explained what had happened—Mark had accidentally killed Hume when he was attacked and the two had disposed of the body afterward. After Hume's identity was discovered, Olivia used ONI's [[Facial Recognition Database]] to identify Mark's assailant as a former ONI operative named [[Ota Gallo]], now working for the private security company [[Dark Moon Enterprises]]. Attempting to recover Hume's belongings, now in the Ferret Team's possession, Gallo and two of her henchmen stormed the Halsey Suite soon after. After a brief firefight, the Ferrets managed to defeat the attackers, with Olivia using a thrown knife to thwart Gallo's attempt to throw a live [[grenade]] into the suite.<ref name="ant"/> | |||
Shortly after Gallo was killed by her own grenade, Admiral Osman returned to the suite with an armed escort. After the admiral claimed Hume's personal effects, she asked Lopis what had really happened to Hume. Lopis lied that Gallo killed Hume after the reporter was planning to name her as his source. While obviously incredulous, Osman was apparently satisfied with the explanation.<ref name="ant"/> | |||

Olivia is known as the stealthiest Spartan in Gamma Company and is consequently called "O" for short because she is "as whisper-quiet as her vowel namesake.<ref name="goo116"/> [[Kurt Ambrose]] believed that Olivia could have been wearing fluorescent orange fatigues and still blend in with the terrain.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''pages 252-253'' | Although she originally joined the [[SPARTAN-III program]] to get revenge on the Covenant, Olivia stated that she is now motivated by a desire to prevent anyone else having to suffer a similar fate rather than mere personal vengeance. She is quite observant, wary of outsiders, and loyal to her team, quickly noticing [[Veta Lopis]]' attempts to gauge information about Mark during a conversation between the two and growing more upset with the inspector as a result of the latter treating Mark as a suspect. Olivia has a fear of "white fire" generated by a [[plasma]] discharge. According to psychologists, this is because she saw her family die in a plasma strike, though by [[2553]], she could no longer remember the details of the event herself.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', Chapter 13, ''page 149'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | ||
