| ===Early life and UNSC service===
| |
| Bonita Stone was born on the [[human]] [[Outer Colonies|Outer Colony]] of [[Komoya]] on [[2535#December|December 25, 2535]]. She would eventually enlist in the [[UNSC]], serving with distinction on the stealth cruiser {{UNSCShip|Relentless Watch}} in [[2550]],{{Ref/Note|Id=age|In ''[[Halo: The Rubicon Protocol]]'', Nina Kovan mentions that she and Bonita Stone had served together for a decade between 2550 and 2560, with the two having first met aboard the ''Relentless Watch''. This would seemingly contradict the birth date given for Stone in the ''[[Halo Encyclopedia (2022 edition)]]'', in which Stone is established to have been born in 2535. Were this the case, Stone would have been only fifteen years old when she began serving onboard the ''Relentless Watch''.}} where she met [[Nina Kovan]]; the two would later go on to serve in Fireteam Shadow together.{{Ref/Novel|Id=TRP30|TRP|30|Quote='Ten years,' Kovan finally said. 'We met on the reconnaissance starship ''Relentless Watch'' before joining the SPARTAN-IV program. Recon was hardwired into her DNA from the beginning.'}} Here, Stone coordinated the efforts of several reconnaissance strike teams deployed to key areas of interest and unrest following the [[Human-Covenant War]]. This experience led directly to her assignment to Fireteam Shadow after her induction into the [[SPARTAN-IV program]].{{Ref/Reuse|EN}} After joining the program, Stone and Kovan ran trials and tested [[HIVEMIND-class Mjolnir]] at [[ANVIL Station]].{{Ref/Reuse|rp1}} During an operation on [[Talitsa]], she notably monitored the activities of a [[Sangheili Zealot]] for six days.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp14|TRP|14}}

| |
| {{Main|Battle of Requiem}}
| |
| On [[2557#July|July 21, 2557]], Fireteam Shadow was attached to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when the ship was pulled into the [[shield world]] [[Requiem]]. Following the ship's crash inside the shield world, Fireteam Shadow, including Stone,{{Ref/Site|Id=whm|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/news/womens-history-month-2024|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Women's History Month 2024|D=1|M=3|Y=2024}} was deployed to the flight deck to investigate movements detected outside the ship. The Spartans could not see what was causing the reports of movement outside the ship, but reported that they were experiencing technical difficulties.{{Ref/Site|Id=h4promo|URL=http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Halo-4/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d530919?|Site=Xbox|Page=Halo 4 promotional site|Quotee=Background Audio File|D=15|M=07|Y=2013|LocalArchive=Archive:Xbox.com/Halo 4}} Shortly after, the ''Infinity'' was attacked by the combined forces of [[Jul 'Mdama]]'s [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] and the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]]'s [[Promethean]]s.{{Ref/Level|H4|Infinity (Halo 4 level)|Infinity}}

| ===Requiem Campaign===
| |
| {{Main|Operation: VERTICAL UMBRAGE}}
| |
| On [[2558#February|February 14, 2558]], Stone and the rest of Fireteam Shadow were dispatched to the [[Requiem]] shield world to neutralize a Covenant base established two days earlier. After Stone eliminated patrols around the site, [[Jason Kidman]]'s [[TQ-8 seeker drone]]s were to create a breach allowing Stone and [[Horatio Fry]] to break into the base to shut down production. However, in the midst of the operation, [[Jared Miller]] reassigned the team on [[Operation: VERTICAL UMBRAGE|a priority operation]] to destroy the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] {{Pattern|Zanar|light cruiser}} ''[[Panom's Canticle]]'', which was deploying forces to "[[The Refuge (Requiem location)|The Refuge]]".{{Ref/Reuse|rundown}} Being too far from their Pelican, Shadow stole a Phantom from the [[Covenant Summit|Summit]] to get there.{{Ref/Reuse|VU}}
| |
|
| |
| While [[Fireteam Crimson]] [[Battle at The Refuge|protected the science team from the Covenant ground forces]] at "The Refuge", Shadow took advantage of the stolen Phantom to rush into the ''Panom's Canticle'' hangar before the crew activated the shields. Shadow made rapid progress through the ship, but encountered heavy resistance as they approached the core. As Fry, Kovan, and Kidman cleared out the last Covenant soldiers in the hallway leading to the main reactor room, Stone had already infiltrated there, armed with her [[active camouflage]]. While Stone fought [[Ryn 'Alun|the shipmaster]] and his Sangheili, Kovan fired her [[Selene's Lance]] at the ship's power core. With the power core overloaded, the cruiser was destroyed, bringing an end to the Covenant's attack. Stone and the rest of Shadow escaped onboard a {{Pattern|Gloto'kef|assault carapace}}.{{Ref/Reuse|VU}}{{Ref/SpOps|Id=everything|Memento Mori|Everything Has Gone Wrong}}

| Over the next six days, Stone led the survivors across the region; the five marines from her lifeboat were killed during a skirmish with the Banished, leaving only Murphy's crew with Stone, who felt responsible for the deaths of the marines. They eventually rendezvoused with another group of survivors led by Spartan Kovan. The combined group of non-combatants became the "[[boat crew]]". On the evening of December 18, while Kovan scouted ahead, the group was resting in the middle of a forest when they were ambushed by two [[Jiralhanae]] and eight [[Kig-Yar]]. While Spartan Stone traded blows with a Jiralhanae, marines from Kovan's group—[[Mosley]], [[Deleke]], [[Thompson]], [[Kim]], and [[Foutty]]—were killed by the second Jiralhanae.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp7|TRP|7}} The Jiralhanae left a dent in the titanium composite plating over Stone's right shoulder blade, which then caused it to press against her bodysuit; it became an annoyance that would persist over the next few months.{{Ref/Reuse|rp14}} After Kovan returned and intervened, saving the boat crew from the second Jiralhanae, Murphy realized that Stone's motion tracker and targeting sensors were offline, and, despite Murphy's reassurance, Stone blamed herself for the deaths of the marines.{{Ref/Reuse|rp7}}

| On [[2560#January|January 20, 2560]], Stone and Kovan conducted a recon sweep deep inside Banished-occupied territory.{{Ref/Reuse|rp14}} They observed that Banished forces were only unified under Escharum, with internal competition among its members. Kovan reported their findings to Griffin, and suggested that an attempt on Banished [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]]'s life may fragment the Banished leadership.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Reverie 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Reverie #06 - Weakness}} On January 23, Spartan Griffin led Spartans [[Panago]], [[Henri Malik]], and [[Sarkar]] in an assassination mission on the Banished [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]].{{Ref/Game|Id=tlb|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Retaliation 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Retaliation #02 - Those Left Behind}} However, the assassination on Escharum failed.

| | |
| Although she was separated from Kovan and the boat crew, Stone managed to locate more UNSC survivors while maintaining communications with Makovich and Vettel; the scattered UNSC forces continued to run guerilla ops against the Banished in order to keep the ring out of their control, as per the [[Rubicon Protocol]].{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #01 - Rubicon Protocol}} On approximately April 20, Stone and Kovan spotted each other in their sniper scopes; Stone made her way to Kovan, and reunited with the rest of the boat crew.{{Ref/Reuse|rp24}} They noticed the increased air traffic from [[Escharum]]'s personal fleet towards the ''Reverie''—now [[Outpost Tremonius (location)|a Banished outpost named after the Chieftain who led the assault on the wreckage]]—and decided to investigate. Arriving at the area on 22 April, while the rest of the boat crew made a supply run to scavenge from a ledge that caught some of the supplies the Banished had thrown into the chasm below the outpost,{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp30|TRP|30}} Stone and Kovan investigated the newly-constructed outpost.{{Ref/Novel|Id=rp26|TRP|26}}
| |
| | |
| On April 23, when Spartan Stone was scouting out the Banished outpost, she recognized Browning in the outpost from afar, then returned to Kovan to share her findings. That evening, while Stone provided overwatch, Kovan snuck into Outpost Tremonius and into the Phantom that held Browning. He couldn't be rescued, however, as the [[Harbinger]] and the Banished had put a pair of shackles on Browning's wrists, with a node on the Phantom's hull that would detect the sensors and detonate explosives within the shackles if Browning leaves the Phantom. Browning informed Kovan of the Harbinger, and opted to stay under captivity. Kovan gave him several recording transmitters, instructing Browning to learn whatever he could about the Harbinger or the Banished, and left a tracking beacon to Browning's neck. The Spartan made a promise to find Browning, then left as a pair of Jiralhanae patrol approached.{{Ref/Reuse|rp26}} Seeing two Jiralhanae patrols approaching Kovan,{{Ref/Reuse|rp26}} Stone created a distraction to allow Kovan to escape, but was unable to regroup with Kovan, because the Banished was tracking her closely; instead, she decided to investigate the Banished excavation.{{Ref/Reuse|rp28}} She found that the Banished has unearthed [[Cylix|artifacts she has never seen before]], and reported to Makovich and Sorel that the Banished were moving focus to [[Site Novem|an excavation site south of the ''Reverie'']].{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #02 - What Lies Beneath}}

| By April 26, Stone had infiltrated the underground Forerunner structures near Outpost Tremonius, having seen the artifacts up close and determined them to be stasis pods. She made one final transmission to Makovich and Sorel, reporting her findings, including picking [[The Weapon|a UNSC signal]] coming from inside the facility, but stopped short when she realized that she was not alone.{{Ref/Game|HI|Audio log (Halo Infinite)#Scattered 2|Spartan Audio log|Detail=Scattered #05 - Uncharted}} Shortly after, Stone discovered the Banished using a human prisoner to access the [[Conspectus network]]; they took a data node with information on the ring's defensive systems and location. Stone attacked the Banished and [[Skimmer]] forces, including [[Blademaster]] [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] and the Bloodstar [[Gorian]]. After she fought off multiple Banished, Stone fought 'Rdomnai directly, hampered by his active camouflage, shields and the damage that her armor had taken over the past several months. However, Stone managed to steal the data node and had [[Ouco]] copy the data and then corrupt the node. Ouco was successful before Gorian slammed into Stone with a [[Riuctda Workshop Ghost|Ghost]] and dragged her back towards the lift before Stone managed to break free and jerk the Bloodstar from the Ghost. Fighting through more Banished forces, including [[Hectarius]], Stone attempted to reach the surface, but she was ambushed and killed by 'Rdomnai. As Stone's last act, she removed the corrupted data node which was taken by Gorian and 'Rdomnai to Escharum, unaware of Stone's sabotage. Stone died pleased that she had succeeded in throwing a wrench into Escharum's grand scheme.{{Ref/Reuse|rp28}} | |
| | |
| The next day, the [[boat crew]] found Stone's body and a grieving Kovan retrieved Stone's data chip from her VISR which proved to contain the data that she had stolen from the Banished. [[Submonitor]] [[091 Adjutant Veridity]] later revealed that Stone had stolen from the Banished information on the ring's defensive systems and its current coordinates, giving the team the chance to broadcast a message to the UNSC for reinforcements. However, with Banished forces closing in, the boat crew reluctantly left Stone's body behind.{{Ref/Reuse|rp30}} Her body remained underground, and was found on May 28 by [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]], who collected her [[Overshield|enhanced shielding]] module.{{Ref/Reuse|foundation}}

| Despite her name, Stone was a personable and affable Spartan with a slight sense of humor.{{Ref/Reuse|whm}} Stone often bantered with her squadmates in Fireteam Shadow;{{Ref/Reuse|VU}} she especially held a camaraderie with longtime friend and squad mate Nina Kovan,{{Ref/Reuse|rp24}} notably being the only one who could make Kovan laugh.{{Ref/Reuse|whm}} This amicability extended to non-Spartan personnel; while rescuing the survivors from Murphy's Bumblebee, she recognized Browning as the medic that she escorted to Murphy's lifeboat on the ''Infinity'', and joked, "We need to stop meeting like this." She also playfully got back at Murphy—by pulling him by the back of his uniform and quickly hauling him out of the lifeboat before he was ready—for insisting that Spartans often "swoop in" to save lives.{{Ref/Reuse|rp5}} Stone's warm-hearted nature also gave her a strong sense of responsibility for those under her command; she gave instructions to the marines on her Bumblebee once she boarded the lifeboat, then rallied the marines when she sensed their morale was low. When a marine expressed wonderment at the beauty of a Halo ring's surface, Stone held back a sarcastic response so he could "have a moment".{{Ref/Reuse|rp1}} Stone's sense of responsibility has extended to being protective of those around her; she convinced Kovan to keep Browning's survival a secret from the rest of the boat crew, citing the Banished defenses at Outpost Tremonius would overwhelm the boat crew if they knew of Browning's survival and launched a rescue attempt.{{Ref/Reuse|rp26}}
| |
| | |
| As Murphy observed, like many Spartans, Stone held herself to an impossibly high standard; Stone particularly felt guilty when the marines perished under her command; once when the marines from her lifeboat died to a unit of Ghosts, then again when marines from Kovan's group were killed in an ambush.{{Ref/Reuse|rp7}} She held a deep grudge against Ghosts after losing her lifeboat's marines to a unit of Ghosts.{{Ref/Reuse|rp28}}

| According to Kovan, Stone had a natural talent for reconnaissance.{{Ref/Reuse|rp30}} Stone's [[Project ORCHID|Spartan augmentations]] granted her impressive physical prowess; while armored, she held a metric ton of titanium support beam by her shoulders, though her stance slowly fell and the feat left her with tissue damage in both shoulders, thighs, and one knee.{{Ref/Reuse|rp1}} Despite her weakened condition, Stone made another notable endeavor: using her armor's thrusters, she pulled an occupied Bumblebee up from a breach, thereby saving the lives of the five marines inside.{{Ref/Reuse|bm}}{{Ref/Reuse|debrief}} Stone had dark hair; later during the conflict on Installation 07, her hair had grown into her eyes, long enough to tuck it behind her ears. Kovan thought it made Stone look softer—a comment Kovan kept to herself knowing Stone would give her a "swift ass-kicking" if Kovan shared.{{Ref/Reuse|rp24}}
