| Following [[John-117]]'s return to Earth on [[2552#November|November 17, 2552]], ''Kilo 023'' was responsible for [[Recovery of John-117|extracting]] him, [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]], and [[Avery Junior Johnson|Sergeant Johnson]] from the [[A2 Hydroelectric Facility]] in the [[Tanzania]]n jungle.

| ===Expedition to the Ark===
| | When [[Spartan-117]] returned to Earth, Kilo 023 was responsible for extracting him, the [[Arbiter (Character)|Arbiter]], and [[Sergeant Johnson]] from the jungle. Hocus used the ship's heavy weapons loadout to destroy two [[Covenant Loyalist]] [[Phantoms]] in the process. Shortly after their return to Crow's Nest, the base was attacked by the Covenant. Kilo 023's escape with wounded soldiers was delayed by [[Jump Pack Brute|Jump Pack Brutes]], until the Master Chief arrived to fight them off. |

| ''Kilo 023'' was among the Pelicans aboard the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}} when the [[UNSC frigate|frigate]] traveled through [[the Portal]] to Installation 00. ''Kilo 023'', with Johnson, the Master Chief and several [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]] aboard, successfully landed on the Ark. The ship served as backup while the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] attempted to locate the Ark's [[Cartographer]], though [[Hocus]] was able to spot it herself. ''Kilo 023'' dropped off 'Vadam at the entrance to the Cartographer to assist the Chief and later picked them up once they determined Truth's location.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Ark]]''</ref>

| ''Kilo 023'' joined the strike force of Pelicans and [[Fleet of Retribution|Sangheili]] Phantoms sent to lower the [[Installation 00 Citadel|Citadel]]'s protective shield. Encountering heavy [[Ogab'd-pattern anti-aircraft Wraith|AA flak]] near the shoreline, ''Kilo 023'''s wing man was shot down, killing its crew and taking ''Kilo 023''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] with it, though ''Kilo 023'' itself landed safely, later assisting the Master Chief as he made his way to the last [[barrier tower]]. It is unknown whether she participated in the final assault on the Citadel itself.<ref>'''Halo 3''', campaign level ''[[The Covenant]]''</ref>

| ==Crew==
| | Kilo 023 was among the Pelicans aboard the [[frigate]] ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]'' when that ship traveled through a [[slipspace]] portal to the [[Ark]]. Kilo 023, with Johnson, the Master Chief and several [[ODSTs]] aboard, successfully landed on the Ark. The ship served as backup while the [[Marines]] attempted to locate the Ark's [[Cartographer]]. Once the [[Prophet]] of [[Prophet of Truth|Truth]] was located, Kilo 023 joined the strike force of Pelicans and [[Covenant Seperatists|Separatist]] Phantoms sent to lower the [[Citadel|Citadel's]] protective shield. Encountering Heavy AA near the shoreline, Kilo 023's wingman was shot down, killing its crew and taking Kilo 023's [[Warthog]] with it, though Kilo 023 itself landed safely, later assisting the Master Chief as he made his way to the last tower. |

| | The status of Kilo 023 is unknown after the [[Battle of Installation 00]]. It is presumed to have returned to [[Earth]] aboard the ''[[Shadow of Intent]]'' along with the rest of the surviving [[human]]s after the [[John-117|Master Chief]] recovered [[Cortana]]. |
