Cal was then taken to the planet [[Reach]] and was trained by the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] [[Déjà]] and [[Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]], along with the rest of the Spartan children. | ||
=== | ===Assassination mission on Heian=== | ||
Between 2540 and 2551,{{Ref/Reuse|Chronology}} Cal-141 was sent on an [[Operation: GREY VEIL|operation]], along with the four [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s she commanded, to assassinate a [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|Minor Prophet]] and gather intel of unknown ruins on a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]-held planet, [[Heian]]. The squad consisted of [[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]], [[O'Brien (Heian)|O'Brien]], [[Cortez]], and [[Checkman]]. Only three remained after the drop, as Checkman was killed in the upper atmosphere during the [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle#Re-entry|orbital insertion]]. After landing, she rescued O'Brien from drowning in a swamp. However, the ODST expressed no gratitude and yelled at Cal for having thrown him about. | |||
During the operation, Cal fought a [[Jiralhanae]] [[unidentified Jiralhanae chieftain (Heian)|chieftain]] that nearly killed O'Brien from behind. After gouging out the chieftain's right eye and pushing it over a waterfall, Cal rescued O'Brien from near death. Again, the ODST expressed no gratitude, instead berating the Spartan. | |||

While waiting for the Prophet to arrive, the Brute chieftain that Cal had apparently killed the day before ambushed the humans. Cal spotted the Brute as it was about to strike O'Brien and quickly pushed the ODST sniper out of harm's way. She was hit across the head and right shoulder by the chieftain's gravity hammer, resulting in fatal injuries, despite her armor taking the blow. | While waiting for the Prophet to arrive, the Brute chieftain that Cal had apparently killed the day before ambushed the humans.

After Dutch killed the Brute, the trio removed Cal's helmet to inspect her injuries. They were stunned that Cal was a female, as opposed to the squad believing she was a male, especially O'Brien and Cortez. Cal, realizing that with her badly damaged arm, as well as her blurring vision due to her head injuries, she would no longer be able to take the shot, ordered O'Brien to kill the Prophet, which he succeeded in doing. | |||

After O'Brien killed the Prophet, the ODSTs tried to tend to Cal's wounds, but she knew that she would not be able to make it back to the [[UNSC Kronstadt|destroyer]] that deployed them to Heian. In her dying words, Cal asked Cortez to make a delivery to [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]]. This delivery consisted of an optical chip from Cal's helmet, which contained intelligence of the planet the mission was carried out on, as well as ruins that were neither human nor Covenant. Cortez tried to assure her that she would be able to give the chip to Halsey herself, but Cal replied that the two of them knew it was not going to happen as she felt her death already moments away. She held Cortez's hands a bit longer and eventually died before the three ODSTs. | After O'Brien killed the Prophet, the ODSTs tried to tend to Cal's wounds, but she knew that she would not be able to make it back to the [[UNSC Kronstadt|destroyer]] that deployed them to Heian.

Cal's death left a profound impact on the ODSTs with whom she fought on the mission. They, like all ODSTs, had a bitter rivalry with the Spartans and considered them to be freaks, but Cal's efforts in the mission and her actions in saving O'Brien's life many times until the loss of her own had changed their thoughts and opinions on the Spartans. This change was shown well as the ODST team later returned to their ship, where both Cortez and Dutch angrily scolded a [[UNSC Army|soldier]], [[Berger]], for mocking Cal's abilities and joking about her death. O'Brien pondered on how he might be dead if it hadn't been for her. | Cal's death left a profound impact on the ODSTs with whom she fought on the mission.
