| ==Biography==
| | Less than a year into his life, he was confronted with the attack on Zone 67 and Camp Currahee by the [[Sentinel]]s of the planet. Endless Summer ordered the Spartan-IIIs to defend Zone 67 after the defenders of the area were all killed by the Sentinels. He was contacted by [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] once she arrived, who convinced him to use the planet's [[Slipspace COM Launcher]] to alert [[Earth]] so they could send forces to save them. The Sentinels then found and destroyed the launcher.<ref>[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]] page 180</ref> |

| Less than a year into his life, he was confronted with the attack on Zone 67 and Camp Currahee by [[Onyx Sentinel]]s. Invoking the authority granted to him in times of emergency by [[General Order 98.93.120]],<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 122''</ref> Endless Summer [[Flash 91762P-06|ordered]] the [[SPARTAN-III Program|Spartan-IIIs]] to defend [[Zone 67]] after the defenders of the area were all killed by the Sentinels. He was contacted by Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] once she arrived. In order to get Endless Summer's attention, Halsey sent him a [[Wikipedia:Kōan|Zen koan]], aware that such a philosophical dialog would be irresistible to a smart AI.{{Ref/Reuse|goo178}} Halsey managed to convince him to use the planet's [[Slipspace COM launcher]] to alert [[Earth]] so they could send forces to save them. The Sentinels later found and destroyed the launcher.<ref>'''Halo: Ghosts of Onyx''', ''page 180''</ref> However, Endless Summer escaped the destruction of the COM launcher and his data center and later redirected the Spartans to the [[Sentinel manufacturing facility]] in Onyx's northern polar region in order to halt the production of Sentinels.{{Ref/Reuse|goo314}}
| | Though Endless Summer was presumed to have been destroyed, it is likely that he transferred himself to the [[UNSC Prowler]] [[Dusk]] during the [[The Battle of Onyx]]. |
|
| |
|
| Endless Summer was most likely destroyed when the planet disintegrated at the conclusion of the [[Onyx Conflict]].
