When the human forces on Onyx came under attack by [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]] on [[2552#October|October 31, 2552]], the teams were still vying for top honors. Team Saber went dangerously close to the restricted [[Zone 67]] to avoid the other teams during a training exercise. There they spied what they assumed at the time to be a new kind of [[Covenant]] drone, based on its [[energy shielding]], and decided to investigate. The Sentinels quickly turned hostile, forcing the exercise to come to an abrupt halt.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 117-119''</ref> | When the human forces on Onyx came under attack by [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinels]] on [[2552#October|October 31, 2552]], the teams were still vying for top honors.

In [[2553#May|May 2553]], Blue Team was attached to ONI's [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]] 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"/> | |||

Before the 717th could evacuate, 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]]. 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, while Blue Team exfiltrated from the planet successfully.<ref name="hll"/> | Before the 717th could evacuate, the newly-elected [[President of Gao]] [[Arlo Casille]] sent [[Gao Republic]]'s military to forcefully remove the UNSC from the planet.

With Intrepid Eye 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="ll c28">'''Halo: Last Light''', Chapter 28, ''pages 330-333'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | With Intrepid Eye captured, the UNSC left Gao.

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> | 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. To prepare her for her specialization, Olivia underwent an ONI Digital Infiltration and Sabotage course, which she was halfway through by mid-September of 2553. While she and the other 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.

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]]. | 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]]. Olivia was responsible for hacking into the facility's booking system to reserve the hotel's prestigious Halsey Suite for the team to use as a safe house for the duration of the mission. When the team went undercover, Olivia adopted the cover identity of "Lieutenant Bati", a [[Luna OCS Academy]] graduate, 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 gave her a glass of [[zantelle]] laced 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 into the Halsey Suite and administered a counteragent to the nicothiotal.<ref name="ant"/> | ||
Mark and Ash returned to the Halsey Suite | As Olivia recovered, Mark and Ash returned to the Halsey Suite, with Mark having been attacked on the way by the waitress who had served Olivia's drink earlier. Not long after, they were joined by Rear 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 commander named [[Ota Gallo]], now working for the private security company [[Dark Moon Enterprises]]. Olivia subsequently used Hume's [[COM pad]] to send a message to Gallo in order to lure her into the suite, with a copy of the message sent to Osman. Gallo and two of her henchmen stormed the Halsey Suite immediately afterward, although the Ferrets managed to defeat the attackers after a brief firefight. Though Olivia received multiple injuries, she was able to neutralize Gallo with a thrown knife, causing the rogue operative to be blown apart by her own [[grenade]].<ref name="ant"/> | ||
The Ferret Team's attempt to evacuate in the aftermath of the attack was cut short by Admiral Osman returning to the suite with an [[ONI Security|armed escort]]. Commending Olivia for her actions, the admiral claimed Hume's personal effects and 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 clearly incredulous, Osman was apparently satisfied with the explanation.<ref name="ant"/> | |||

Olivia is energetic and clever and has shown to be quick to catch on to new ideas.<ref>'''Halo: Fractures''', "A Necessary Truth", page 234'' (Google Play edition)</ref><ref name="ll c28"/> She is also empathetic and perceptive, for example quickly noticing [[Veta Lopis]]' anxiety in tight spaces and attempting to calm the inspector down. This was ostensibly to avoid the pair from being discovered, though she also appeared to show genuine concern for Lopis' well-being, unexpectedly opening up to her about a fear of her own; namely one of "white fire" generated by a [[plasma]] discharge. Psychologists stated this was because she had seen her family die in a plasma strike, though she could no longer remember the details of the event herself. As was the norm with Spartan-IIIs, Olivia joined the program in order avenge her family and homeworld. As she was trained, however, she would come to be motivated by a desire to prevent anyone else having to suffer a similar fate. Olivia would later reflect on the tragedy not with bitterness but as something that gave her purpose.<ref name="ll13">'''Halo: Last Light''', Chapter 13, ''pages 173-177'' (Google Play edition)</ref> She even appeared to take some measure of pride in the Gammas' augmentation-induced mental condition, namely their ability to fight under pain intolerable to any other human.<ref>'''Halo: Last Light''', Chapter 23, ''pages 294-295'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | |||
Olivia | While cordial around her peers, Olivia shows considerable hostility to those she distrusts. Being highly loyal to her team, she quickly noticed Veta Lopis' attempts to gauge information about [[Mark-G313]] and grew more upset with the inspector for treating her teammate as a suspect.<ref name="ll13"/> However, while she seemed to lose her trust in Lopis after the encounter with [[Petora Zoyas]], Olivia did not hold a grudge with the inspector for long, having already grown to respect her after the battle in Wendosa and later responding to the creation of the Ferret Team with enthusiasm.<ref name="ll c28"/> | ||
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''</ref> | 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''</ref> Following her assignment to the Ferret Team, she specialized in electronic intelligence and hacking.<ref name="ant"/> | ||
