Soon after the Covenant invasion, a defected [[Huragok]] known as [[Quick to Adjust]] made its way into the Superintendent's data center. Driven by its innate fascination with all machines, it started to repair the Superintendent's data core, which had been damaged in the attack. Soon, a [[Classified Signals Archive|report of data corruption]] was received by a [[Unidentified Communications Officer|communications officer]] aboard the [[prowler]] {{UNSCShip|Tokyo Rules}}. The officer contacted the AI, asking it to put [[Kinsler]] on the line, but it didn't comply. The Superintendent was then asked to upload its logs for the last twenty-four hours, for which the AI only replied with repeating the phrase "KEEP IT CLEAN". The COMM officer then told the AI they'd send a team to retrieve the construct's data, and ordered the Superintendent to redirect all comm traffic through her. The Superintendent only replied with its pre-recorded phrases.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=15526 '''Bungie.net''': ''KEEP IT CLEAN'']</ref> | Soon after the Covenant invasion, a defected [[Huragok]] known as [[Quick to Adjust]] made its way into the Superintendent's data center.

Some time later, when the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' initiated a slipspace transition over the city, the resulting shockwave severely damaged, as well partially disabled the Superintendent.<ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]] [[Halo 3 ODST ViDoc: Desperate Measures|ViDoc: Desperate Measures]]''</ref> This is when Captain Dare was dispatched on a secret mission with a team of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]], which involved the retrieval of the Superintendent - though her squad was unaware of this objective. With the troopers scattered about the city by the Slipspace shockwave, Dare was separated from the ODSTs and holed up in a nearby building where she attempted to find a way of getting the AI to safety by herself. | Some time later, when the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' initiated a slipspace transition over the city, the resulting shockwave severely damaged, as well partially disabled the Superintendent.<ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]] [[Halo 3 ODST ViDoc: Desperate Measures|ViDoc: Desperate Measures]]''</ref> This is when Captain Dare was dispatched on a secret mission with [[Alpha-Nine|a team]] of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]], which involved the retrieval of the Superintendent - though her squad was unaware of this objective.

During the day, the Superintendent's [[Vergil]] subroutine routinely helped [[Sadie Endesha]] get out of dangerous situations, including ambushes by corrupt police Commissioner [[Kinsler]]. Frustrated, Kinsler had the whole AI shut down despite the fact that without the Superintendent, the city's evacuation would grind to a halt. The duty officer at [[NMPD Headquarters]] refused to reactivate the AI, even when ordered to do so by Dare. Sadie and [[Mike Branley]] managed to "force" the duty officer to turn the Superintendent back on however.<ref>'''[[Sadie's Story]]'''</ref> | During the day, the Superintendent's [[Vergil]] subroutine routinely helped [[Sadie Endesha]] get out of dangerous situations, including ambushes by corrupt police Commissioner [[Kinsler]].

Later that day, the Superintendent aided both [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and NMPD forces remaining in the city in fighting off the recently arrived Covenant occupation force. In the following night, the construct aided the ODST known as "[[the Rookie]]" in evading Covenant foot patrols in the rubble of the city by giving him access to a map of the city, as well as activating lights and signs; leading him to safety.<ref name="ODST Gameplay"/> | Later that day, the Superintendent aided both [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine]] and NMPD forces remaining in the city in fighting off the recently arrived Covenant occupation force.

Eventually, the Rookie, along with Captain Dare, managed to reach the data core, where they discovered Quick to Adjust, which had transferred the data of the Superintendent's Vergil subroutine to itself. Quick, now essentially carrying the memories and personality of Vergil, and in effect the Superintendent itself, then disconnected from the core. With all data transferred out, the Superintendent's computer core immediately shut down. | Eventually, the Rookie, along with Captain Dare, managed to reach the data core, where they discovered the [[Huragok]] [[Quick to Adjust]], which had transferred the data of the Superintendent's Vergil subroutine to itself.
