S. Hartley

S. Hartley was a United Nations Space Command Defense Force Orbital Drop Shock Trooper during the Human-Covenant War. He was part of Delta Team of 2BN/3U as Bravo-22 with Bravo-21, T. Rymarr.

He participated in a battle on Earth, retrieving what is later revealed to be a Long Range Scanner to extrapolate Spartan-117's landing co-coordinates during the Second Battle of Earth. T. Rymarr gave covering fire and then together evacuated in a Warthog, during this escape Hartley was hit in the abdomen by a spiker round. The Warthog was then rerouted to the nearest medic, who was in sector six, attached to another Marine outfit which was under heavy fire.

When the Warthog arrived at the scene, a female medic, R. Coney, attended to Hartley's wound, removing the spiker round from his abdomen, and applying what likely was biofoam. During this, his ODST comrade, T. Rymarr, was killed by a Brute Chieftain with a Gravity Hammer. With the Master Chief's landing only minutes away, Hartley was able to acquire the the Spartan's re-entry path using the scanner retrieved earlier and pass along the information to the rescue team. Once the Chief's position had been fixed, the order to fall back was given; Hartley was able to retreat and was last seen sitting inside the entrance to a UNSC bunker as the doors closed.
