'''Oly Oly Oxen Free''' is a six note, seven beat tone used as an all clear code by the [[Spartans|SPARTAN IIs]]. They learned it from [[Deja]] on [[Reach]] when they were younger and have used it ever since. | |||
==Psychology== | |||
Oly Oly Oxen Free was a secret amongst the [[Spartans]]; none but they and a select few outsiders knew it. Those outsiders were close to the Spartan family; such as [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]], [[Cortana]], and [[Sergeant Johnson]]. Thus, the signal was extremely important to each Spartan; they would rather die than give up the significance of the tone, which could be used to betray or endanger their teammates. | |||
==Uses== | |||
Oly Oly Oxen Free was used on numerous occasions throughout [[Halo: The Fall of Reach]] and [[Halo: First Strike]]. Some of the times it was used are: | |||
*After the Spartan Team had beaten [[Tango Company]], and [[Master Chief|John-117]] had checked to make sure their evacuation point was all clear. | |||
*After [[The Battle of Reach]], [[Spartan-044|Anton-044]] used it as an S.O.S. signal over the [[COM|E-Band]]. | |||
*For the Spartans to enter [[CASTLE Base]], [[Kelly-087]] used it to let [[Dr. Halsey]] know it was them. | |||
*During [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], [[Spartan-058|Linda-058]] used it to let John know where she was so he could pick her up. | |||
*At the end of [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], [[Sergeant Johnson]] used it to let Blue team know where the Gettysburg was holding station behind a nearby asteroid. | |||
