'''SURGEON''' was a code name adopted by an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] operative with Section III and was a leader of [[Operation: HYPODERMIC]] in [[2552]]. This operative's Section III Operator Number is AA2. | |||
SURGEON was | The earliest mention of SURGEON was in [[2532]], when he/she received [[AUTOMATED REROUTE UNSC SHIP REG-96667 ABY|a message]] concerning the [[SPARTAN-III program]] from [[Codename: COALMINER]]. The message noted that the early stages of preparation for [[SPARTAN-III Alpha Company]] were progressing satisfactorily and expressed confidence in [[Kurt-051]]'s training regimen.<ref>'''''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''''', chapter 7</ref> | ||
SURGEON was later informed by Codename: COALMINER of a potential breach of security when [[Cortana]] broke into the ONI database and discovered that the {{UNSCShip|Circumference}} was an ONI [[UNSC Prowler|Prowler]]. COALMINER then deleted the ship from the [[Reach]] database. <ref>'''''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''''', ''page 281''</ref> | |||
On December 31, 2552, Surgeon filed a report to [[Codename: USUAL SUSPECTS]] entitled "''[[Historical/Psychological Analysis of Cole, Preston J.]]''" The extensive report outlined the life and career of [[Admiral]] [[Preston Jeremiah Cole]] and postulated that he was in fact alive and living outside UNSC-controlled space. The report was filed from the {{UNSCShip|Point of No Return}} in synchronous orbit on the far side of [[Luna]]. | |||

{{Conjecturalization}} | |||
"SURGEON"'s true name and rank are unknown. It is possible, though not probable, that SURGEON is [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], but there are no means to confirm this. | |||
SURGEON's report on Admiral Cole provides additional clues as to his or her identity. However, the date at which the report was filed would suggest that SURGEON is ''not'' Ackerson, who was captured, tortured, and beheaded by the [[Jiralhanae]] [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|chieftain]] [[Lepidus]] following the [[Battle of Mare Erythraeum]] in [[2552#November|November 2552]]; this is corroborated by Cortana during the short story ''[[Human Weakness]]''.<ref>'''''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''''', ''page 387''</ref> The final line of the report, however, could suggest that SURGEON ''is'' in fact Ackerson, presuming the report were completed before his death and filed posthumously. SURGEON attempts to answer the question of what should happen if Cole should return and side against the UNSC, stating: ''"I, for one, have lost my stomach for killing legends."''<ref>'''''Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe''''', ''page 487''</ref> This could refer to Ackerson's attempt to kill [[John-117]]. | |||
