In [[2544]],{{Ref/Reuse|CFShocks}} O'Brien and a team of fellow [[ODST]]s were charged with assassinating a [[Unidentified Prophet (Heian)|Prophet]] who was overseeing Covenant logistic operations on [[Heian]]. O'Brien was to serve as the backup sniper in the mission. He felt this was an insult to his abilities and was even more shocked to learn that a [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartan-II]], [[Cal-141]], was the mission's primary sniper.{{Ref/Reuse|Baby}}

The squad was deployed to the planet using the cover of a meteor shower. Upon landing, O'Brien's [[M8900 drop pod|M8900 SOEIV]] crashed into a cliff and fell into a swamp. The fall damaged the oxygen tank and the pod began to sink.{{Ref/Reuse|Baby}}

Cortez and [[Taylor Miles|Dutch]] hurried to save O'Brien but stopped short due to the thick mud in the swamp. The Spartan calmly walked to the pod, and with some effort, lifted the pod and tossed it out of the swamp. She then pried the door loose to let O'Brien exit. The ODST was shocked by the sudden action and was disheartened by the loss of his squadmate [[Checkman]], who had died during atmospheric entry. Along the way, he frequently needled Cal, showing his contempt for the SPARTAN despite the fact that, without Cal's help, he would have drowned in his pod.{{Ref/Reuse|Baby}}

O'Brien and the team remained with Cal until her death. Back on the destroyer, O'Brien remained silent, not saying a word even when the rest of the squad angrily scolded [[Berger]] for mocking Cal's abilities in battle. He thought deeply about how Cal had continuously saved his life.{{Ref/Reuse|Baby}}

===Legacy===
By [[2559]], records of O'Brien's mission on Heian had reached [[Installation 00|the Ark]], outside of the [[Milky Way]] galaxy. The details of the sniper shot were studied by the crew of {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, with [[Lance Corporal]] [[Devon Sparks]] of [[Sunray 1-1]] learning from the mission to conduct a similar assassination of a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Captain (Covenant)|Captain]] of the [[Banished]] in the [[Second Ark Conflict]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=24|M=09|Y=2021}}
