== | == Background == | ||
''Glasgow Kiss'' was part of [[Admiral]] [[Carl Patterson|Carl "Buster" Patterson's]] task force sent to [[Onyx]] to retrieve Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]], the [[Spartan-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] of [[Blue Team]], the [[SPARTAN-III program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] stationed on the planet, and alleged [[Forerunner]] artifacts from the world's [[Onyx Sentinel|Sentinel constructs]]. During the first attack on the [[Joyous Exultation Covenant|Covenant]] ships in orbit above Onyx, it moved to protect the flagship {{UNSCShip|Stalingrad}} from enemy fire. ''Glasgow Kiss'' was subsequently destroyed by plasma meant for the flagship, although many of her crew survived in escape pods.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', ''page 294''</ref> | |||
== | == Historical Meaning == | ||
"Glasgow kiss" is Scottish Slang used by Glaswegians for a head butt. This, in turn, stems from the Scottish city of [[wikipedia:Glasgow|Glasgow]]. | |||
