Thus, the battle depicted in the story has to be the Battle of New Jerusalem, as it was the last battle in which The Rookie participated before the [[Battle of Earth]].</ref> was invaded by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]], who proceeded to dig downriver of the city in search of [[Forerunner]] artifacts. In response the UNSC sent in a [[Company]] of ODST's for a snatch-and-run operation; they would steal the artifacts then retreat from the planet. | ||
However, unbeknownst to the UNSC, a team of | However, unbeknownst to the UNSC, a team of ODST's had their own agenda. The nine ODST's were all former CMA veterans, and felt that they had given enough to the UNSC cause. Their plan was to break into a bank in the city center, and use a spare [[Dropship 77-Troop Carrier|Pelican]] dropship to steal the [[gold]] and [[platinum]] ingots stored in the bank's vault. They justified their theft by saying that the precious metals were going to be glassed anyway, and therefore they "didn't exist anymore." The team would use the wealth to retire. | ||
Charleston and [[Amey]] were picked for the team by [[Felicia Sanderson]], and were stationed atop two strategically located buildings with [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun | Charleston and [[Amey]] were picked for the team by [[Felicia Sanderson]], and were stationed atop two strategically located buildings with [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]]s in case the Covenant came sniffing, with [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]]s for extra punch if needed. | ||

Tempers flared, and the ODST's turned their weapons on each other; [[Gage Yevgenny]] and Felicia against [[Sita]], [[Dale (ODST)|Dale]] and [[Orrin]]. In the resulting shootout, all were killed except for Gage. | ||
Gage, in shock, went outside to find teammate Eric Santiago, who informed him that the UNSC were falling back. Gage knocked him out with his gun and called for more Pelicans, claiming they were under heavy fire.

Gage knocked him out with his gun and called for more Pelicans, claiming they were under heavy fire. He then flew Eric's Pelican to the pickup point and collected the artifacts the Covenant were looking for, as well as a [[Shiva-class Nuclear Missile|Shiva nuclear device]], then flew away from the city. Gage believed that the Covenant forces would follow him in pursuit of the relics. As he was being pursued by Covenant [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]], he was "accidentally" shot down by Amey and Charleston, who knew of his betrayal. | ||
Gage violently crashed near the mountains outside the city. He then waited until the remainder of the rogue ODST team, including Charleston, and hundreds of Covenant troops closed in on his location, then he detonated the Shiva nuclear warhead, killing them all. | Gage violently crashed near the mountains outside the city.
