'''Endless Summer''' (AI Serial Number 4279) was a "smart" [[AI]] attached to the [[UNSC]] excavation team on planet [[Onyx]], [[Zone 67]]. He was sent to replace the AI [[Deep Winter]] after it reached the end of its operational life span in [[2552]]. He took the form of a tall, red Cherokee Indian chief, bare-chested, wearing buckskins, and with a feathered spear in hand.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 178</ref>
'''Endless Summer''' ([[AI Serial Number]]: 4279)<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 300''</ref> was a fifth-generation [[Smart AI|"smart"]] [[artificial intelligence|AI]] attached to the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] excavation team based in [[Zone 67]] on planet [[Onyx]]. He was sent to replace the AI [[Deep Winter]] after it reached the end of its operational life span in [[2551]].


Unlike [[Deep Winter]] and [[Eternal Spring]] before him, Endless Summer was aloof and did not care for [[Camp Currahee]] to the south of him. He barely tolerated the staff there, namely [[Spartan-051]] and his [[Spartan-III]]s. Endless Summer never initiated communication with them unless in times of dire need.  
He took the form of a tall, red Cherokee Indian chief, bare-chested, wearing buckskins, and with a feathered spear in hand.<ref name="g121">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 121''</ref> He would often bow upon initiating or ending a conversation.<ref name="goo178">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 178''</ref><ref name="goo314">'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 314''</ref>


Less than a year into his life, he was confronted with the attack on Zone 67 and Camp Currahee by the [[Sentinel]]s of the planet. Endless Summer ordered the [[Spartan-III]]s to defend [[Zone 67]] after the defenders of the area were all killed by the Sentinels. He was contacted by [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] once she arrived, who convinced him to use the planet's [[Slipspace COM Launcher]] to alert [[Earth]] so they could send forces to save them. The Sentinels then found and destroyed the launcher.<ref>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', page 180</ref>
==Biography==
Unlike [[Deep Winter]] and [[Eternal Spring]] before him, Endless Summer was aloof and did not care for [[Camp Currahee]] to the south of him. He barely tolerated the staff there, namely [[Kurt-051|Kurt Ambrose]] and his [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-IIIs]]. Endless Summer never initiated communication with them, unless in times of dire need.{{Ref/Reuse|g121}}


Though Endless Summer was presumed to have been destroyed, it is possible that he transferred himself to the [[UNSC Prowler]] ''[[Dusk]]'' during the [[Battle of Onyx]].  
Less than a year into his life, he was confronted with the attack on Zone 67 and Camp Currahee by [[Onyx Sentinel]]s. Invoking the authority granted to him in times of emergency by [[General Order 98.93.120]],<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 122''</ref> Endless Summer [[Flash 91762P-06|ordered]] the [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-IIIs]] to defend [[Zone 67]] after the defenders of the area were all killed by the Sentinels. He was contacted by Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] once she arrived. In order to get Endless Summer's attention, Halsey sent him a [[Wikipedia:Kōan|Zen koan]], aware that such a philosophical dialog would be irresistible to a smart AI.{{Ref/Reuse|goo178}} Halsey managed to convince him to use the planet's [[Slipspace COM launcher]] to alert [[Earth]] so they could send forces to save them. The Sentinels later found and destroyed the launcher.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 180''</ref> However, Endless Summer escaped the destruction of the COM launcher and his data center and later redirected the Spartans to the [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]] in Onyx's northern polar region in order to halt the production of Sentinels.{{Ref/Reuse|goo314}}


==Trivia==
Endless Summer was most likely destroyed when the planet disintegrated at the conclusion of the [[Onyx Conflict]].
*Endless Summer actually supplants [[Deep Winter]]'s roost and standing to better the battle and the situation going on at-hand.
*Endless Summer was a 5th generation [[A.I.]].
*Mack from ''Contact Harvest'' sent a message at the end saying: ''For an Endless Summer that will not fade''
*In the book "Contact Harvest" Mack appears as a cowboy while the seemingly related AI Endless Summer from the "Ghosts of Onyx" appears as an Indian. (Cowboys & Indians).
