The resulting explosion destroyed both the prowler and the intrusion corvette. However, the alien vessel's forward fuselage was left mostly intact, [98] allowing the Spartans to search it for any salvageable technology.
Sure enough, they found a functional starholo and removed it, bringing the device back to Halsey for her to examine. The next day, after spending some time with the starholo, Halsey attended a funeral service on the Vanishing Point to honor the men and women of the UNSC Navy who lost their lives at Seoba.
She stood near John and the five other Spartans who were not relegated to the ship's infirmary. After the ceremony, Hector Nyeto—now the de facto commander of Task Force Yama after Ascot's death—approached John to complement him and his team on preventing the Covenant from capturing the prowler.
When Halsey pointed out that they had also managed to destroy a corvette, Nyeto enthusiastically added that they had also recovered the starholo, clearly trying to get on her good side. He then made a comment on how she might deduce something useful from the alien machine, to which she responded with a calculated smile.
Because of Nyeto's seeming appreciation for the Spartan-IIs, John asked him if he would reconsider their sidelining. The lieutenant commander promised that they would see all the action they could handle, prompting Colonel Crowther to deny this one more due to their young age and the fact that the Spartans reported to him. This resulted in a shouting match between the two officers that ended in Nyeto relenting after being threatened with a report to a board of inquiry.
After this shocking exchange, Halsey grabbed John by the arm and directed the Spartans out of the hangar toward the Black Daggers' quarters.
At hours on March 31 Halsey was in the middle of studying the captured starholo. With a little luck and lots of hard work, the doctor was hoping she could trace the Covenant's slipspace routes back to the invasion fleet 's primary supply depot.
By this point she had already identified more than twenty transit nodes which opened near what she believed were Etalan , Harvest , and Netherop , and four of these were near other nodes which led out of human-controlled space. Five days had passed before a new supply convoy had arrived at Etalan following the previous one's destruction, so Halsey surmised its point of origin had to be somewhere between one-half and three-quarters of that distance at the aliens' slipspace travel rates.
Catherine was flummoxed, since there simply weren't any habitable worlds within four days of the likely transit nodes. Implicit in this observation was the idea that the Covenant must have instantaneous interstellar communications.
By this point Catherine had discovered a data miner had been slipped into her quarantined lab by Hector Nyeto or one of his operatives. With that settled the A. Catherine deactivated the starholo and ran her fingers through her hair briefly before meeting the colonel at her door.
She'd sent him a message asking him to meet her there as soon as their rendezvous was complete for a "personal matter", and now that he'd shown up she feigned delight at his presence and took his arm to draw him toward her personal quarters. She confessed to being unable to wait any longer to be alone with him and made sure to press her flank against his as she pulled him through the other door into her little galley area.
Once they were both sealed within, however, she released him and said she only needed to talk someplace safe. She let him know she swept for eavesdropping devices within her quarters three times daily and had found nothing so far. She offered the men water and apologized for leading him along before stating they needed to discuss how they were going to handle Nyeto before he tried to kill her Spartans again. Through researching Nyeto's records Catherine learned he had spent a lot of time with the infamous Robert Watts early in his career.
Despite the improved slipspace efficiencies afforded by Doctor Halsey's understanding of the alien starholo, it still took the task force time to arrive at Transit Node Bhadra, more than two hundred light-years past humanity's farthest known exploration.
It was Halsey who had named the transit node, and she likewise chose to call the sector of Covenant space they were invading by hours on April 14 Muruga , both Hindu names meant to honor Captain Ascot. Their target planet and its moon she called Naraka and Rudara , respectively. Thirteen days later, on April 28 , Halsey noted in her journal that Vice Admiral Stanforth had ordered she and others to repurpose everything to quell the Covenant threat and to refocus their research on wartime strategy.
Footage from the glassing of Bliss generally convinced these leaders of the magnitude of the threat they all faced. In her journal Halsey wondered if the aliens might have solved their civil war—not a trade she would have made, but perhaps a small victory nonetheless. In simulations a randomly coupled matrix also boosted correlation effects such as accurate guessing. As volitional A. After leaving herself a reminder to investigate the polarization of topological soliton pulse transfers she concluded that day's writing by questioning whether she was playing the role of God or mother in breeding life from non-life, or perhaps simply being beguiled by sentimental anthropomorphism.
Halsey recorded a message for John in which she acknowledged the entire situation was likely a trap but stated she wanted the Spartans to secure the alien ship anyway. A fully functional Covenant vessel could give the UNSC the knowledge needed to develop effective countermeasures. Stone and Lieutenant Commander B. Nett both of the Judge Advocate General's Corps , two young people who had been among those discovered living on Netherop's surface during the operation, and John, who was the last to arrive at hours.
They had gathered for a Court of Inquiry meant to clarify what precisely had gone wrong and how prowler captain Amalea Petrov , commander of the UNSC Night Watch , had been marooned on the planet. Halsey disputed Admiral Cole's characterization of the mission as a failure, seeing as the Lucky Break seemed to have always been a trap—one perhaps meant to capture Spartans—that had not borne fruit for the Covenant.
She also pointed out that they'd recovered a personal shield generator of a type unseen up to that point. Cole, for his part, was less optimisitc since it would likely be years before any useful battlefield technology resulted from that acquisition. She assured him she was moving as fast as she could with her work.
The court soon turned to the matter of what ought to be done with the young people found surviving on Netherop, previously thought to be uninhabited. The representatives present, Samson and Roselle , petitioned the UNSC brass to let them start new lives on Gao , but both Halsey and Stanforth were reluctant to indulge their request. Admiral Cole and Lieuetenant Stone were more sympathetic, however, and they were ultimately permitted to relocate to the outer colony.
At some point after her Spartans begin racking up successes, Halsey's meager budget mushroomed overnight and she was once again offered a corner office in Olympic Tower. Her original banishment, as she saw it, had become a bureaucratic weapon for her. The doctor promised he would still be able to serve in a non-combat role and regretfully apologized when he asked why she was no longer allowing him to make choices. Halsey vowed to look into how this technician— Partch —had gotten into the position he'd held, given that his background showed all the earmarks of an insurrectionist.
Mendez recommended she run another background check on everyone higher up in security. Halsey then stopped him before he could start smoking right there in her office and asked if there was anything else to discuss. The chief went on to relay further details about parts torn free of the fighter which had landed elsewhere, but despite there being no sign of Soren among them either, he thought it unlikely the boy could have survived.
When Halsey asked how Randall —who had unsuccessfully tried to stop Partch and Soren—was doing, Franklin claimed he was fine. After being told that ground troops had been dispatched to comb the woods for a body the doctor told him to pull them back and have Soren filed as missing in action.
She wagered that he was still alive, but based on her experience with him that meant he would only ever be found if he wanted to be. Mendez started to protest but she reached across her desk to touch his arm and urged him to let him go, arguing he was not a threat to them.
Mendez pointed out that he had been a trained and augmented as Spartan and now had rebel sympathies, but Halsey only replied that he was no traitor ; just a lost soul looking for direction. On December 11, Halsey recorded that she'd had limited success using the illegal entry protocols to access a nonessential subroutine in a recovered Kig-Yar point defense gauntlet. Unfortunately, it was demonstrated that using the protocols in this way accelerated the terminal cross-linkage effect of her A.
Jerrod , a micro-A. Though she could devote time to clandestinely pursuing this to sate her curiosity, she knew she'd be detected. As such, she was left to just wonder what ONI was hiding from her. It was by this date as well that Jacob Keyes had agreed to take in Miranda , which her mother figured would be for the best.
She made sure to track all those who had "washed out" during the augmentation procedures in but as far as she could tell, none of them had been repurposed. Those that had been rehabilitated were on track to be recommitted soon and whatever was going on, she reasoned, must not involve them.
The doctor noted the peril at which she was maneuvering outside of Stanforth's protection and the terms of her charter. She figured her enemies must think the threat of being charged with espionage or with the violation of any particular military regulation would keep her from pursuing leads in order to preserve her position, but she judged that to be an underestimation of her.
By November 10, Catherine had developed a new theoretical architecture which involved three artificial intelligences arranged in parallel. In her design, ties which arose when one of the A. Though Halsey knew this could slow overall processing, she was confident such a theoretical trio would deconvolute and divide algorithms to compensate for the loss, and in doing so perhaps even accelerate processing.
Consensus-based decision-making would also be applied to linkage creation in order to forge a superior initial neural linkage. Unfortunately, Halsey could not know how the theoretical trio's overall lifespan might be increased under such circumstances because simulations could not create in vivo A.
Writing in her journal on that November date, the doctor wondered what other characteristics could emerge from an A. She only had three at her disposal at the time and as such had moved them to the Sanderson private hospital on Beta Hydri VI as a precautionary measure.
In addition, she kept all knowledge of this from other A. A note from Halsey to herself on November 10 served as a reminder to follow up on reports of nes ted A. If space were not a limiting factor the number of available connections would increase at a geometric rate. Though Halsey considered classic string theory dubious, she thought the eleven or more dimensions it predicted could theoretically be accessed by anyone outside the quantum fields which enveloped ships traveling through slipspace.
She was disappointed Doctor Forester apparently failed to grasp that slipspace was open to exploitation within four-dimensional spacetime. Writing in her journal following their discussion, Catherine pondered whether remote construction with any exotic matter in the raw slipstream was possible, for at that moment the technology required for that remained at best theoretical. She figured decades or even centuries may pass before the necessary tech and its practical applications arrived.
She closed that day's entry wondering whether people were ready for the potentially near-limitless cross-connections and faster-than-light processing speeds A. By January 7, Catherine had reminded Admiral Stanforth at a budget meeting that continuous upgrades were integral to the Mjolnir system if they expected it to shatter technological barriers as a pioneering effort something she'd thought they'd both agreed upon.
Halsey agreed to cooperate with this stipulation but determined she would by no means wait on breakthroughs just to fit accountants' calendars.
She understood she was working with systematic impediments, and on January 7 put down in her journal her preliminary modularization of upgrades for MJOLNIR with the expectation that the entries could and likely would be modified or reconfigured as time, budget, and other limitations cropped up.
She also considered that a reevaluation may be in order as new technologies and limitations manifested—especially if the Covenant noninstrumentality problem was cracked. In particular she had to wonder whether energy shielding would be possible for the Mark V armor, seeing as there was no evidence early prototypes had been useful so far. She made a note to herself that day to reach out to Doctor Yin-Finto to find out whether she had taken a research position on Titus and to ask if nanofabrication of Mjolnir components would be possible.
By November 22, Halsey had received what were being referred to as the top secret "Hencheck Findings", named for a Lieutenant Hencheck who had procured a cache of Covenant weapons and miscellaneous artifacts during a skirmish in the Indra asteroid cluster. Much about the enemy's weaponry astonished her and made her ask questions about their construction. No traces of production designs could be found within the weapons' architecture, and much of the technology seemed heavily polarized yet uniformly purposed, leading Halsey to think it might have originally been developed for some other purpose or purposes.
Regardless, the immediate conclusion she drew from the findings was that humanity still lacked the ability to replicate the Covenant's technology.
In addition to the gauntlet already being clearly much older than any others encountered, initial testing confirmed that with a massive power input its capacity for creating and sustaining energy shielding over a very small surface area could be replicated. Curiously, employing their symbolic logic appeared to counter the accelerated cross-linkage effects in A. Though her progress in understanding this was moving slowly, it was advancing steadily nonetheless, as she wrote in her journal.
She also made a note reminding herself to investigate the possibility that what she was working with might represent dimensional slices of a more complex topology. At some point in the early s the Spartan Cal was killed during an engagement with the Covenant on the planet Heian.
Cal instructed them to see that it was delivered to Halsey, claiming the doctor would know what to do with it. Writing in it on this date, she even mused over the possibility of implanting a small strip of nanocene explosive into the clasp and keying it to her DNA before admitting she'd likely employ a more refined method. Optical repeaters were maintaining the boundary value wave functions at zero within the original A. Her experiment demonstrated that excised parts of an A.
As this was only an experimental process, however, Catherine decided to designate it as "non-sanctioned" until she more carefully weighed its long-term ramifications. On that date it was discovered that the illegal entry protocols used for hacking insurgent networks had deciphered a tiny portion of the point defense gauntlet acquired over eight years prior.
Following this she directed Jerrod to dedicate all his runtime to further avenues of inquiry. Even then, however, she was sure there was already enough data to run a simulated test for a Mjolnir energy shield system based on the Jackal 's gauntlet. It was her hope that greater understanding might lead to further insights into the Covenant 's language and motivations.
With so much going on and with so much to say, Halsey resolved to write more going forward. At some point during that same year the Inner Colony of Miridem came under assault by the Covenant while Doctor Halsey was present there.
Halsey was cryogenically frozen in preparation for the jump to slipspace, but their ship was intercepted at the edge of the planetary system and disabled by the enemy before it could slip away. Tursk sent a message from the UNSC Swiftsure to Lucius Jiron , captain of the Sahara -class heavy prowler PRO , in which he told the captain he would be receiving Spartans shortly and that he ought to prep his OF92 booster frames for a quick and dirty extraction of the doctor.
When Halsey was finally awakened from cryostasis she found herself facing none other than John , who had infiltrated Resplendent Fervor to rescue her. She teased that perhaps John's luck had rubbed off on her, and when he swore he'd always be there for her she stopped him short, saying that he shouldn't make promises he can't keep.
Regardless, she was thankful despite also pointing out that it wouldn't be a proper rescue until they made it off the enemy carrier. They hastened from the chamber where her cryotube had resided, rushing down a long hall until they were met on the other side of the door by Thel 'Lodamee , the same Elite who had killed Sheila. Surprisingly, 'Lodamee tossed the Spartan a second sword.
Halsey watched as the two began to duel. At that moment the fleet became clear of Ascon's magnetic interference, however, and the shipmaster decided to disconnect the portion of the ship John, Halsey, and Thel were in before jumping to slipspace. Halsey realized something had changed when an alarm began to ring throughout the ship and cautioned John to wait during a brief respite in the duel. The major was suddenly caught up in a gravity field and pulled back to the foremost section, leaving Halsey and John trapped in Delta Section.
Knowing that what remained would be scuttled soon, the two ran to a bay at Halsey's suggestion and boarded a Ren , blasting away just before the ship was wracked by explosions. They were accosted by a group of Kai -pattern Seraphs left behind by the fleet, which led to Halsey frustratingly asking if there was anything John could to do save them.
Thankfully, the combined efforts of PRO and another Seraph commandeered by both Kelly and Frederic kept them from being killed. Once aboard the prowler, John let Halsey know that Solomon and Arthur had been killed during the effort to retrieve her. Though the war was in its twentieth year something told her there was much more ahead of them.
On September 3, Halsey noted in her journal that following her inquiries regarding the assumptions of the mu-tensor calculation in Doctor Canterfeld 's latest paper in I. Physical Review , Canterfeld had finally asked her for help with the areas of his research that were continuing to elude him. Halsey was glad to help him, as she could see that his theories about slipstream anomalies could lead to a number of innovations, such as those which would result in faster ships and more accurate jumps.
Catherine was convinced that humanity needed such advantages to counter the Covenant's superior technologies, noting at the same time that she was starting to doubt the idea that their enemy possessed superior intelligence. In addition to the benefits aiding Canterfeld could bring to the war effort, Halsey also wondered if his contacts and support in the United Nations could effect a transfer for her.
She chronicled her thoughts on the matter, questioning whether being permitted to devote herself to "pure" research would cause her to lose sight of how many were depending on her. She concluded, that with so many trails of her studies converging at that moment she could not leave, even if she did view her work as a sort of burden, purgatory , or dharma , in spite of Admiral Stanforth's assertions regarding her "destiny".
In the end, she wrote, it may be all that remains to her, having given up a normal life, her family , her Spartans , and even the "illuminated entities" which she said she had come to understand. She was certain she wouldn't be able to make Canterfeld understand why she had to refuse him, so she decided to just send him a note the following day.
One other of these was a probe from the planet 's early warning slipstream space observatory. In her journal Halsey mused over whether she possessed the mettle to steal the drive and conduct the experiment and couldn't help but think of fate and luck, despite her best efforts to reject entertaining such notions. Once she secured access to the drive, she first needed to breach the external, internal, and vacuum coupling shields to the singularity, for which she bemoaned that the UNSC couldn't make a proper pan- torque screwdriver.
As a result, a peculiar synesthetic effect moved along her left arm up to her neck when she removed the shields. She also experienced a kind of "hiccup" in her awareness which she surmised was due to the delta time which could occur with abrupt transitions into slipspace. Next, she had to check the probe's telemetry systems after compensating for how close the experiment was to Reach's gravity well , and found they were within tolerable variances. Halsey then verified the data of the A.
After starting the slipspace drive and verifying the data received, as well as activating the AI seed, she confirmed an initial growth state.
Upon checking and triple verifying the probe's telemetry uplinks she then finally launched it on an aligned trajectory. Recording her observations in her journal, the doctor noticed again that time seemed to have mysteriously elapsed, as there was a step anomaly in the chronometer.
This had not affected her or her wristwatch as far as she could tell, and she guessed that the anomaly might be a technical artifact or a subdimensional leakage from the probe as it was inserted. It was only then that she realized she had already made a note of this "hiccup" closer to the time it had occurred but could not recall doing so. Telemetry confirmed that A. Halsey wondered variously if this might be explained by the temporal discrepancy, some hitherto undiscovered multidimensional effect on the A.
Much of the incoming data and consciousness cross-checks soon became garbled and voice communication from the A. Halsey wondered in her journal whether the "mist" referred to slipspace and also commented on another four-hour "step" in time that might also be explained by lost consciousness.
She additionally noted that the data-transfer buffer had been blown—capable of one hundred and forty-eight hours at its maximum rate. As soon as she made this observation Halsey set about replacing it. After the telemetry became fully operational she noticed glaring gaps throughout the record. And although the voice communications continued to grow increasingly nonsensical, all rampancy indicators were negative. Before telemetry was lost, a communication burst provided Halsey with mathematical equations which she could not make sense of, leading her to wonder what she was missing.
She noted that she had no desire to repeat it and hoped that the A. Catherine then ported the collected data to Jerrod for further analysis, filed and encrypted essential records under her personal code, and triggered a viral worm and bit grinder with the intent to destroy all other digital witnesses. She closed her documentation of the experiment in her journal with an ambiguous remark concerning one last thing she had to do. Ultimately, it was determined that further experimentation of the like would need to be actively encouraged.
The closest friends left to her then were the A. On March 24, Halsey made a note in which which she reminded herself to soon finish field tests experimenting with direct human -to-A. This time, however, she enhanced their neural physiology at the expense of other biological functions.
She made sure the equipment was hidden and secure from all save herself, though the cloning had been arranged by ONI at her insistence. As such, there were a few others who also knew about it, but she was confident that these particular individuals could be trusted to keep the information secret. The clones developed at a breakneck pace, for on the same day she had first begun the process they were already exhibiting familiar anatomy and curling into fetal positions, malformed as they were.
In her journal Halsey noted how disquieting this was to watch, grieving for them and wishing she could allay their suffering somehow. She emphasised on the need to listen kindly to people regardless of their gender, class or ethnicity. Halsey ended her speech with a resounding positive note, that there is work to be done to end all forms of violence against women:.
