During the [[Battle of Mombasa|Covenant invasion]] of the city of New Mombasa, Quick to Adjust and six other Huragok were dispatched into the tunnels underneath the city, possibly to hack into the city's electronic systems and the [[Superintendent]] [[artificial intelligence]]. However, the six other Huragok instead began to free Quick to Adjust from its explosive harness. While the six others were killed, Quick survived and made its way into the [[New Mombasa Data Center|data center]] of the Superintendent, where it began working on repairing the AI. During the process, Quick would save the badly damaged AI, and later absorb most of its data, including a subroutine, [[Vergil]], into itself.<ref>'''[[Sadie's Story]]''', ''Circle 6, Arc 2''</ref>

By the time Captain Veronica Dare and [[the Rookie]] arrived in the data center, they discovered Quick among the data stacks.{{Ref/Reuse|hive}} As they escaped the facility, Quick provided them with [[energy shielding]]. Eventually, they managed to escape the city and extract Quick. A month later, Quick, which still had access to the [[proselytization network]] and held information on the Covenant, was being held on the [[Quito Terminus]].

===Talitsa===
===Talitsa===
While working with ONI, Quick to Adjust was given the name "Vergil" by Captain Dare because of his absorption of the Superintendent's subroutine. Additionally, the Huragok maintained a special connection to [[Sadie Endesha]], as Vergil had originally been created by [[Daniel Endesha|Sadie's father]] to take care of her. Vergil and Sadie participated in a number of field operations for ONI, including one in which they possibly aided in a new [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Wetwork|MJOLNIR development project]] on [[Talitsa]] in [[2555|August 2555]].{{Ref/Reuse|nb9}} While there, however, they were kidnapped by [[United Rebel Front]] forces and taken to one of the URF's strongholds on the planet. Although they were ultimately rescued by [[SPARTAN-IV]]s [[Edward Buck]] and [[Kojo Agu]] and taken to [[Mars]], ONI deemed it too risky to allow the Huragok to work in the field again.<ref>'''[[Halo: New Blood]]''', ''Chapter 18''</ref>

Following the events on Talitsa, Vergil was moved to a secret ONI facility on [[Luna]] where ONI kept several of their other Huragoks. Together, the Huragoks formed a sort of brain trust that worked as consultants on all sorts of projects. Anyone who needed their help would need to book time with them as they would work as supercomputers to work on insanely complex problems. Instead of going out into the field and risking themselves to danger, problems were brought to the Huragok to solve.<ref>'''[[Halo: Bad Blood]]''', ''page 89''</ref>
