{{Main|Skirmish on Mona Lisa}} | |||
In [[2552#October|October 2552]], Rebecca was commissioned by the Office of Naval Intelligence to monitor the ''Red Horse'' during a top-secret mission around the ruins of [[Installation 04]]. She replaced the ''Red Horse's'' former shipboard AI, [[Chauncey]], much to the dismay of the personnel aboard ''Red Horse'', who preferred Chauncey's openness over Rebecca's secretive and cold demeanor.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 225''</ref> | |||
As a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] full of marines was sent to investigate the [[prison ship|prisoner transport]] ''[[Mona Lisa]]'', Rebecca refused to give away any information on the ship's nature, even to [[Commander]] [[Tobias Foucault]], saying ''"We have our orders, Commander."''<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', - ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 237''</ref> Rebecca chose the members of the squad personally, pilot included.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 240''</ref> After communications with the Marines aboard the ''Mona Lisa'' had been cut off, Rebecca insisted the ''Red Horse'' destroy the ship, again deferring to their orders.<ref name="tml297">'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 297-298''</ref> Foucault was hesitant to do so, having grown increasingly frustrated about Rebecca's secrecy, but eventually gave the order after Rebecca showed him what had compromised the ''Mona Lisa'': an alien parasite known as [[the Flood]].<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 326''</ref> | |||

Her first appearance is described as "half-Athena, half-Ares" with a feathered Greek headdress and ancient armor.{{Ref/Reuse|ref1}} She could change her appearance to a flabby, middle-aged Mediterranean woman in a flower dress, which she apparently did in order to make people around her feel more relaxed.<ref>'''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''', - ''"The Mona Lisa"'', ''page 233''</ref> | ||
Commander Foucault often insisted that Rebecca use her warrior avatar, viewing it as disrespectful of her to appear on the bridge as a "dumpy Italian woman" due to his rigorous sense of decorum. However, this was also because the other appearance made him underestimate her.{{Ref/Reuse|tml297}} | |||
==Trivia== | |||
Though she alternates between two appearances in the ''Halo: Evolutions'' story, she is only seen using her "warrior" avatar in the motion comic adaptation of ''The Mona Lisa'', likely to avoid confusion. | |||
