His | ==Biography== | ||
He once served on civilian cruise ships, including the luxury liner ''[[Two Drink Minimum]]'', for nearly fifteen years, enjoying the ability to steer without aid and the time away from his two now ex-wives, but found the constant noise to be too much for him and left it to instead serve as a hauler for products from [[Harvest]]. His personal touch helped distinguish him from other services and brought him a great deal of respect.<ref name="ch96"/> | |||
In [[2525|January 2525]], [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] boarding party invaded his ship in search of [[Forerunner]] relics they had believed to be onboard. The ship's slipspace engine, [[maser]] and manuvering rockets were damaged in the attack, and Gibson mistaked the aliens for [[piracy|pirates]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 97''</ref> He nearly succeeded in killing a [[Unggoy]] named [[Dadab]], using a fire extinguisher as a weapon, but was killed by a rock in the forehead thrown by Dadab's [[Huragok]] companion [[Lighter Than Some]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 100''</ref> | |||
He was the first [[human]] being to ever come face-to-face with a member of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], the first known human to be killed by a Huragok, and could be considered the first casualty of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | He was the first [[human]] being to ever come face-to-face with a member of the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], the first known human to be killed by a Huragok, and could be considered the first casualty of the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | ||
