![]() With him, she made her way to the core, explaining to the Rookie that their original mission was to retrieve crucial information that the Superintendent had on a seismic anomaly prior to the Covenant invasion. Following her trail was the Rookie Dare was surprised to see him as he arrived. Six hours after the drop, Dare had made her way to sub-level 9 of the Superintendent's data center. Thinking the creature would kill Buck, Romeo killed it and in the resulting explosion her helmet was launched through a window and into the viewscreen where the Rookie would later find it lodged. When he arrived at the pod, he found it to be empty he presumed her dead when he saw her helmet in the grasp of an Huragok. Before Buck arrived to her location, Dare somehow got out of the pod before a Covenant Phantom arrived. However, she was unable to leave her pod due to the damage it had sustained during the drop. During the drop, she ordered the squad to change their drop pods' course at the last moment so they could perform her mission, just as the ship entered slipspace, damaging the city and releasing a large EMP wave which disabled the pods' electronic systems and scattered them throughout the city. Moments before the ODSTs' drop, Dare took command of the squad led by Gunnery Sergeant Edward Buck, causing some confusion among the squad members, and told him that infiltrating the Solemn Penance was not their mission anymore. They soon started an argument, and after Dare threatened to fire the officer for insubordination, the enraged communications officer hung up on her. Īt one point before the drop, Dare contacted the NMPD headquarters, asking the communications duty officer there to go against Commissioner Kinsler's orders and turn the Superintendent back on. The admiral was hesitant at first, but was forced to fulfill her request, seeing she was actually an ONI Section One operative, and thus did not report to the Fleet. Dare requested a particular ODST squad from an Admiral aboard the UNSC Say My Name to partake in her mission. Dare, however, was under orders to perform a classified mission in the city and she needed a squad of ODSTs to assist her. On October 20, 2552, during the early stages of the Battle of Earth, a large element of the 65th Shock Troops Division was to be inserted onto the Solemn Penance, flagship of a small Covenant invasion fleet, stationed over New Mombasa. This was the last time Dare would see Buck for the next six years.īattle of Mombasa Main article: Battle of Mombasa Thus, another ODST squad was used to serve as a distraction, while Alpha-Nine recovered the data and returned to base.įollowing Alpha-Nine's successful recovery of the data, Dare reprimanded Buck for disobeying her direct order and threatened him with a charge of insubordination, but he did not receive any other apparent punishment. By doing so, the Covenant would become aware that the laboratory contained something valuable to the UNSC. Dare believed that if the UNSC knew about the data, they would engage in standard operating procedure by encircling the lab and digging in. ONI intentionally kept the rest of the UNSC unaware of Alpha-Nine's mission. In 2546, Dare ordered ODST squad Alpha-Nine, led by Buck, to retrieve important research data from a laboratory at Lethbridge's headquarters in the town of Belisk before the Covenant did.

Buck had hoped their fling wouldn't end after their leave was over, but his poor reaction to Dare's job ensured their relationship was over, a decision that continued to haunt Buck throughout all of his career. The two spent their week together, until Buck eventually realized that she worked for the Office of Naval Intelligence. ĭare first met Edward Buck while on shore leave in 2545 at Castellaneta, over Saturn. At some point, she served as an intelligence officer on the UNSC Say My Name.
