==Background== | |||
Fire Team Charlie was led by [[John-117]] to rescue [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]], who had been captured by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. Although many were killed, some still survived. Eventually, Keyes led the remaining Marines to a "weapons cache", where most of the team was killed or infected by the [[The Flood|Flood]]. | |||

When the Master Chief was sent to retrieve vital data, he encountered Staff Sergeant Johnson and Privates [[Wallace A. Jenkins|Wallace Jenkins]], [[Bisenti]], and [[O'Brien]]. After the data was retrieved, the Marines were also escorted to the ''Pillar of Autumn''. The ''Autumn'', with Fire Team Charlie aboard, then [[slipstream space|jumped]] away from the battle.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]''', "chapter 37"</ref> | |||

When the ''Autumn'' arrived | When the ''Autumn'' arrived, they found that there were Covenant forces around them, and was soon assaulted by the aliens. Fire Team Charlie, led by Sergeant Johnson, managed to repel the enemy long enough for them to escape via a [[Bumblebee escape pod|Bumblebee Escape Pod]]. | ||
Some pods had been destroyed on impact, killing the unprotected Marines within. | Some of the pods had been destroyed on impact, killing the unprotected Marines within.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level, ''[[The Pillar of Autumn]]''</ref> The Escape Pods who had survived were spread out, and as a result, the Covenant located them quickly, attacking the Marines. The Master Chief, who had also escaped, went on a mission to rescue the remaining Marines. Even with his assistance, the Covenant managed to capture Captain Keyes.<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level, ''[[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved level)|Halo]]''</ref> Part of Fire Team Charlie was assigned to board and rescue Keyes with the Master Chief.<ref name="TnR">'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level, ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]''</ref> | ||
During the assault on the ''Truth and Reconciliation'', Fire Team Charlie, led by [[Sergeant]] [[Parker]], | During the assault on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', Fire Team Charlie, led by [[Sergeant]] [[Parker]], helped SPARTAN-117 assault the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] ship to rescue Captain Keyes. This Marine strike team was killed by [[Stealth Sangheili|Stealth Elites]] armed with [[Type-1 Energy Weapon/Sword|Energy Swords]] once separated from [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]]. However, from Cortana's reports, the Marines gave a good fight against their attackers, as SPARTAN-117 came across several Covenant [[Sangheili|Elite]] corpses, ridden with bullet holes. Fire Team Charlie did not die in vain: Captain Keyes was freed from his Covenant prison cell by the SPARTAN-117. It is presumed that some of Fire Team Charlie survived the battle on the ''Truth and Reconciliation'' because some of the Marines were kept in reserves.<ref name="TnR"/> | ||
This Fire Team Charlie was part of [[Staff Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]]'s [[platoon]] and was with Captain Keyes and Johnson when they went searching for a [[weapons]] cache that turned out to be a [[Flood containment facility|Flood Containment Facility]].<ref>'''Halo: Combat Evolved''', campaign level, ''[[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]]''</ref> Fire Team Charlie's Marines were either turned into [[The Flood|Flood]] [[Flood combat form|Combat Forms]] or went [[Missing in action|MIA]] onboard the ''Truth and Reconciliation'', or near Alpha Base. PFC Chips Dubbo was left with Corporal Lovik's squad and was extracted by Echo 419. The only other known "survivor" of the expedition to search for the "weapons" was Jenkins, who was controlled by a weaker Infection Form. | |||
He proceeded to alert the Marines of the Flood's presence below Alpha Base and the newly captured ''Truth and Reconciliation'', his actions leading to the marines destroying and going down with their ship, all hands with it - but preventing the Flood from escaping Halo. The victims of the [[Flood infection form|Infection Forms]] were either killed by Johnson during his flee from the weapons cache, destroyed by SPARTAN-117 during his escape from the facility, defeated by [[Melissa McKay|McKay]]'s ODST Platoon, destroyed aboard the ''[[Infinite Succor]]'', killed when the Truth and Reconciliation crashed, or were killed during the destruction of [[Installation 04|Halo]]. | |||
