In 2551, Ensign WIlliam Lovell requested assignment on the ''Archimedes'' due to how safe it was. Ensign Lovell's roles included to look out for [[Pirates]] and [[Black market]] runners, though he mostly saw regular trash dumps from UNSC vessels, clouds of atomic hydrogen, and the occasional comet.<ref name="HTFORC15"/> | ||

Archimedes was a Greek mathematician, philosopher, and inventor who came up with many scientific and mathematical contributions that are still in use today. For example, he derived the formula of a circle without the use of calculus and discovered the length of extremely large real-world objects through the use of trigonometry. | |||
