After everyone had gathered in Saskia's parents' living room she introduced Owen properly to the group and let them know he was of the opinion that they should evacuate.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB11}} This provoked a variety of reactions but he made it clear to them that his job was to get both they and their families to safety, which he believed he had the best shot at if the four teens were first brought to the UNSC shelter in [[Port Moyne]], a town adjacent to Brume-sur-Mer. The two he'd met at the town computer, [[Dorian Nguyen|Dorian]] and [[Evelyn Rousseau|Evie]], remained skeptical but he promised he would personally come back for their families, presently in the village's shelter. In the house's foyer Owen explained that they'd need to go on foot, since the roads were likely being monitored. He hoped that by keeping to the underbrush they might run into UNSC or Meridian scouts on the way. Calling for backup was impossible thanks to all communications being jammed by the Covenant. Past the gate again he instructed the teens to stay quiet and follow his lead.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB11}} | After everyone had gathered in Saskia's parents' living room she introduced Owen properly to the group and let them know he was of the opinion that they should evacuate.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB11}} This provoked a variety of reactions but he made it clear to them that his job was to get both they and their families to safety, which he believed he had the best shot at if the four teens were first brought to the UNSC shelter in [[Port Moyne]], a town adjacent to Brume-sur-Mer.

Upon docking within the [[UNSC Cruiser|cruiser]] {{UNSCShip|Sparrow}} Owen was taken away for medical attention.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HBB25|BatB|Chapter=25}} Within two days he had recovered and given a full report of the four teens' activities on the surface to Captain [[Daniella Dellatorre]], a representative of ONI's [[Xeno-Materials Exploitation Group]]. In it he mentioned the discovery of evidence that the Covenant was attempting to retrieve a [[Forerunner]] artifact in [[Old Brume]]. After those two days had elapsed he was sent to fetch Saskia, surprising her in the middle of the refugee barracks where she'd been staying. She immediately embraced him and was further surprised when he returned the gesture. Owen let her know someone from the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] wanted to speak with she, Dorian, Evie, and Victor. Seeing that Saskia evidently felt woefully unprepared for such a meeting, he put a hand on her shoulder and told he she looked fine, joking that he'd looked a lot worse during his first encounter with ONI. He guided her toward the barracks' exit and down the adjacent corridor, stopping before a door at the end to press one of his hands against an identification lock. When the door slid open the other teens and Daniella were revealed within a conference room. Owen seated himself at the far end of the room's table. Daniella proceeded to offer the four teenage civilians a truncated version of ONI's ground operatives training program and membership within a subset of Meridian's local defense force which would work directly with ONI. After a moment of silence Owen spoke up to say that even though the proposal might seem like a lot then, [[civilian]] life would likely be hard for each of them now.{{Ref/Reuse|HBB25}} | Upon docking within the [[UNSC Cruiser|cruiser]] {{UNSCShip|Sparrow}} Owen was taken away for medical attention.{{Ref/Novel|Id=HBB25|BatB|Chapter=25}} Within two days he had recovered and given a full report of the four teens' activities on the surface to Captain [[Daniella Dellatorre]], a representative of ONI's [[Xeno-Materials Exploitation Group]].
