'''''Argent Moon''''' | '''''Argent Moon ''(AGES-004)'''{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}, sometimes shortened to '''ARGMN''', was a research and development station in service with the [[UNSC Navy]]'s [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].{{Ref/Reuse|blue}} [[Rooker]] served as the station's shipboard [[artificial intelligence]] in [[2557]].{{Ref/Level|Id=blue|H5G|Blue Team (level)|Blue Team}}{{Ref/Game|Id=Blue Team|H5G|[[Mission Intel]]}} | ||
==Overview== | |||
===Design details=== | |||
The design of ''Argent Moon'' loosely resembled that of some deep survey craft designs of the 22nd century. The station is equipped with maneuvering propulsion systems at the aft that allow ''Argent Moon'' to travel through space, though ''Argent Moon'' is still classified as a large-scale production plant rather than a ship. With propulsion systems at its aft and navigation and operation controls at the fore, production and experiments on ''Argent Moon'' occur in the center of the station, within a massive, city-sized superstructure.{{Ref/Reuse|universe}} ''Argent Moon'' was an ONI research and development vehicle that went missing. In addition to its secretive nature, the station's hangar bays housed at least one {{Class|Winter|prowler}} and a stealth [[corvette]].{{Ref/Reuse|blue}} | |||
===Development history=== | |||
''Argent Moon'' was one of several mobile shipyards/research stations constructed at [[Special Assembly Plant Concord]].{{Ref/Reuse|Enc22}}{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=35}} | |||

Following the capture of the [[Forerunner]] [[archeon-class ancilla|''archeon''-class ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]], she was taken to ''Argent Moon'' where the AI was imprisoned and interrogated in a room in which no technology was allowed. However, Intrepid Eye was able to, overtime, smuggle out pieces of her code, creating remote aspects of herself all over the galaxy with which she began manipulating events to prepare humanity for the [[Mantle of Responsibility]]. Intrepid Eye also began to only help Lieutenant [[Bartalan Craddog]] who rose to the position of the station's Chief Science Officer as a result. Intrepid Eye began blackmailing Craddog to do her bidding, forcing him to give the AI access to ''Argent Moon's'' communications array so that she could reintegrate with her other aspects. When Intrepid Eye's plan to weaponize [[Asteroidea merozoite]] was endangered by [[Operation: RETRIBUTION]], she dispatched Craddog and the [[Papa-10]] security unit to retrieve the Tuwa family's organs. The attempt was thwarted by [[Blue Team]] and [[Veta Lopis]]' [[Ferret]]s, exposing Intrepid Eye's [[bioweapon]] plot. However, Intrepid Eye's involvement was never discovered with the plot being instead pinned on Craddog and [[Rear Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]] ordered the bioweapon project shut down. Instead, Intrepid Eye manipulated the final report so that it was instead given an unlimited black budget, research was moved to ''Argent Moon'' itself, [[Ensign]]s [[Jess Wallace]] and [[Kris Gaston]] were promoted to [[Lieutenant Commander]]s and given permission to seek out new asteroidea antibody donors and permission was given to test its effectiveness on the enemy species of the UNSC. Though ''Argent Moon's'' AI [[Rooker]] tried to intervene, Intrepid Eye used a control worm, deception routine, logic trap and memory leech to successfully deceive him.{{Ref/Novel|Ret}} Despite this, ONI eventually discovered Intrepid Eye's network and released millions of dumb AI hunter-killer teams that ultimately overwhelmed even Intrepid Eye's prodigious capabilities and destroyed her network and her remote aspects, leaving the ancilla trapped once more aboard ''Argent Moon''.{{Ref/Reuse|DW5}} | Following the capture of the [[Forerunner]] [[archeon-class ancilla|''archeon''-class ancilla]] [[Intrepid Eye]], she was taken to ''Argent Moon'' where the AI was imprisoned and interrogated in a room in which no technology was allowed.

[[Intrepid Eye]] was believed to have been destroyed along with the station. However, she barely managed to escape by latching onto the ''Acrisius'' as Blue Team fled.{{Ref/Novel|Id=DW5|DW|Chapter=5}}{{Ref/Novel|DW|Chapter=6}} | [[Intrepid Eye]] was believed to have been destroyed along with the station.
