==Biography== | |||
Gibson 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 ex-wives, but found the constant noise to be too much for him and left his position to instead operate his own freighter hauling products from [[Harvest]]. His personal touch helped distinguish him from other services and brought him a great deal of respect.{{Ref/Reuse|ch96}} | |||
In [[2525|January 2525]], a [[Covenant]] boarding party invaded his ship in search of [[Forerunner]] relics they had believed to be onboard. The ship's slipspace engine, [[maser]] and maneuvering rockets were damaged in the attack, which Gibson initially mistook as the work of [[piracy|pirates]], rather than aliens.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 97''</ref> He nearly succeeded in killing an [[Unggoy]] named [[Dadab]], using a fire extinguisher as a weapon, but was killed by a rock to the forehead thrown by Dadab's [[Huragok]] companion [[Lighter Than Some]].<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 100''</ref> | |||
