During the [[Battle of Earth]] in [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], Miles was stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Say My Name}} | During the [[Battle of Earth]] in [[2552#October|October 20, 2552]], Miles was stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Say My Name}} and was interviewed for [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] by [[Gunnery Sergeant]] [[Edward Buck]]<ref name="oni"/> and became part of his squad, which was part of a larger detachment of the [[105th Shock Troops Division]] that was to be dropped from orbit right onto the ''[[Solemn Penance]]'' stationed over the city of [[New Mombasa]].<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/intel/related/video/into-hell-1/6c327f74-5bc0-43c4-ac92-0feef4a712b0 '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Into Hell 1'']</ref> Coincidentally, the squad was chosen by the ONI operative [[Veronica Dare]] to partake on a classified mission, which was not revealed to the squad members until in mid-drop, when Dare ordered the squad to adjust their [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pods]]' trajectories away from the [[Assault Carrier|Carrier]]. However, Miles could barely hear her new orders, and didn't adjust his pod soon enough.<ref>'''Halo 3: ODST''', campaign level, ''[[Prepare To Drop (level)|Prepare To Drop]]''</ref> | ||

Before the ODSTs hit the ground, the assault carrier initiated [[Slipspace]] transition over the city, generating a massive [[Electromagnetic Pulse|EMP]] wave, disabling the pods' electronic systems. The squad's pods were scattered around the city, with no clear idea of their mission or their squadmates' whereabouts. Miles' pod landed on the outskirts of the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]]. 30 minutes after the drop, he moved out and made his way up to a clearing where a battle was taking place, between Covenant infantry and armor, against a platoon of Marines with three [[Warthog]]s, one of them turned over, and under fire from Covenant infantry. With his help, they secured the Warthog and defeated the Covenant forces in the area and started a Warthog charge against the enemy. After the area was cleared, Miles and the other Marines made contact with the [[Unnamed UNSC Colonel|Colonel]] in charge, who ordered them to [[Second Platoon (Halo 3: ODST)|Second Platoon]]'s location, which were taking heavy fire and needed assistance. | Before the ODSTs hit the ground, the assault carrier initiated [[Slipspace]] transition over the city, generating a massive [[Electromagnetic Pulse|EMP]] wave, disabling the pods' electronic systems.
