(The "binary" thing is never stated in Headhunters, so no clue where that's from. His armor is definitely more burgundy than "diesel brown." Also, the story clearly states his camo can last 3.5 to 4 minutes, while not stating that it drains his energy shields. The camo *recharging* is stated to put strain on his shields, however.) |

At some point during the [[Human-Covenant War]], Jonah and Roland were transported to an [[Unidentified moon (Headhunters)|unknown remote]] [[Natural satellite|moon]] where the [[Covenant]] were searching for [[Forerunner]] relics.

Once used, the cell powering the unit would need anywhere from 10-15 minutes to recharge, putting an additional strain on his suit's other power functions such as shielding, BIOs, targeting, and tracking. Each of these functions would run at less than optimum efficiency while the "AvCam" system rebooted.{{Ref/Reuse|headhunter}} During this mission, Roland was armed with an [[M7S SMG]], a suppressed [[M6C magnum]] and four [[M9 fragmentation grenade]]s, as well as procuring a {{Pattern|Sulok|beam rifle}} from an enemy [[Kig-Yar]] [[Kig-Yar Sniper|Sniper]].{{Ref/Reuse|motioncomic}} | ||
