{{Main|Battle of New Jerusalem}}
In [[2552#August|August]] [[2552]] the city of [[Mount Haven]] on an unknown colony was invaded by the [[Covenant]], who proceeded to dig downriver of the city in search of [[Forerunner]] artifacts.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/characters/rookie '''Halo Waypoint''', ''Rookie'']</ref> In response the UNSC sent in a [[Company]] of ODSTs for a snatch-and-run operation; they would steal the artifacts then retreat from the planet.
In [[2552#September|September]] [[2552]] the city of [[Mount Haven]] on the colony of [[New Jerusalem]]<ref group="note">It has been confirmed in a comment by [[Tobias Buckell]] [http://goingrampant.blogspot.com/2010/03/examination-of-female-characters-part-3.html here] that the rookie in ''Dirt'' is the same character as [[The Rookie]] from ''Halo 3: ODST''. 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 ODSTs had their own agenda. The nine ODSTs 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 [[D77-TC Pelican|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 gold to retire.

Their plan hit a snag however when they discovered a schoolteacher and a group of children taking refuge in the bank vault, causing an argument to erupt between the five ODSTs in the vault. [[Gage Yevgenny]] wanted to abandon their theft and evacuate the children. [[Felicia Sanderson]] was in favor of calling in an extra Pelican. [[Sita]], Dale and [[Orrin]] however wanted to abandon the civilians to their deaths. Tempers flared, and the ODSTs turned their weapons on each other; Gage and Felicia against the other three. Dale was shot and killed in the brief shootout; his shots may have wounded Gage or killed Felicia.
