Biography
Around 2553, Hume was reporting exposés on the Office of Naval Intelligence that were being broadcast by the BuzzCast. One story included a supposed meteor impact on Tanuab III that Hume reported the Spartans were behind. At some point Hume was contacted by Ota Gallo, a former ONI agent now working for Dark Moon Enterprises. Gallo fed Hume information on the SPARTAN-III program, particularly Gamma company. On October 14, Hume managed to get into the Officer's club at UNSC Recreational Facility 6055-NA-A on Neos Atlantis. Hume spotted Olivia-G291 and started talking to her, Olivia was undercover in an ONI training exercise, so she played along. With Gallo posing as a server, she and Hume gave Olivia a glass of zantelle laced with nicothiotal, drugging Olivia in an effort to get information on the SPARTAN-IIIs. Unfortunately for Hume, Olivia was with a team, her leader, Veta Lopis, realized what was going on and ordered Mark-G313 to get Hume out of the bar. Mark used a wrist lock to get Hume out the emergency exit, into a hallway. However, Hume was resisting which distracted Mark making him unable to see Gallo moving to attack him with a knife. Mark instinctively used Hume as a shield to block the knife, when Hume continued to resist Mark punched him in the chest, killing him. Mark and Ash-G099 disposed of Hume's body out an airlock. Veta later framed Gallo for Hume's murder, claiming Hume was going to name Gallo as his source.[1]
