"'''Hocus'''" was the callsign for a [[UNSC Navy]] [[pilot]] who served on operations on [[Battle of Earth|Earth]] and on the [[Battle of Installation 00|Ark]]. She was rated as a dropship pilot, flying a [[D77H-TCI Pelican]] designated [[Kilo 023]].
'''Hocus''' was a [[Pelican]] [[pilot]] in the [[UNSC Navy]] during the [[Second Battle of Earth]]. Stationed at the [[UNSC]] [[Crow's Nest (Base)|Crow's Nest]] base, until the facility came under heavy Covenant attack, she was instrumental in evacuating the rest of the survivors of the attack to the Human frigate ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn]]''.  Hocus was the pilot of Pelican dropship [[Kilo 023]]. When flying from Crow's Nest, she assisted in extracting the [[Master Chief]] and Sergeant [[Johnson]], along with a squad of liberated [[Marines]], from the jungle near Voi. Hocus participated in numerous ground insertions during the Battle of the [[Installation 00|Ark]], including a mission to deactivate the shield barriers surrounding the [[Installation 00|Ark]]'s [[Control Room]].


==Biography==
It is unknown if Hocus made it through the conflict alive, since the game does not mention her after the level [[The Covenant (Level)|The Covenant]].  It is most likely that she survived, and has returned to [[Earth]] along with the rest of the remaining [[Humans]] and [[Covenant Seperatist]]s stationed over [[Installation 00]].
She assisted in extracting [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN]] [[John-117]] and [[Sergeant Major]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Avery Johnson]], along with a squad of liberated [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], from the jungle near [[Mount Kilimanjaro]]. Following the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] attack on Crow's Nest, Hocus was instrumental in evacuating the rest of the survivors of the attack to the human frigate ''{{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}''. She participated in numerous ground insertions during the [[Battle of Installation 00]], such as deactivating the [[barrier tower|shield barriers]] surrounding the [[Installation 00|Ark]]'s [[Control Room]].

*"I see 'em! Standby. Going loud. Everyone down!" - To Avery Johnson, when [[Covenant Loyalists]] [[Phantom]] appeared, level [[Sierra 117 (Level)|Sierra 117]].
*"Scratch one [[Phantom]]!" - After the first Phantom is destroyed.
*"Scratch two!" (Same as above, second one destroyed)
*"Sierra 117 onboard. Request priority clearance. Over." - Near the end of the level [[Sierra 117 (Level)|Sierra 117]].

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Hocus is voiced by actor [[Wikipedia:Debra Wilson|Debra Wilson]], widely recognized for her work on the sketch comedy show [[Wikipedia:Mad TV|''Mad TV'']].<ref>'''''[[Halo 3]]''''', [[Halo 3 credits|Credits]]</ref>
*Hocus has a very similar role of [[Foehammer]], a [[Pelican]] pilot in the [[Halo: Combat Evolved]]. Her voice acting is almost identical to the original drop ship pilot's, as if in indirect reference to Foehammer.
*She is erroneously depicted throughout ''Halo 3'' with a randomized male UNSC Marine pilot character model.
*Using the IWHBYD skull on the level Halo on [[Halo 3]] will cause Johnson to sometimes yell "I did this for Hocus!"
 
*On the level [[Crows Nest]], you can see Hocus' face when she picks up the [[Marines]] after the [[Jump Pack Brutes]] are killed, by jumping on the front of the pelican, however, she tends to have a different face from time to time, so it is unknown what she really looks like.
==List of appearances==
