'''Lieutenant Penelope Boren''' is a former [[UNSC]] press secretary in [[2558]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SENJV2_XuLM '''YouTube''': ''Halo 5: A Hero Falls TV Commercial'']</ref><ref name="apology"/> It was she that was chosen by [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] to deliver the news of [[John-117|Spartan John-117's]] death to the galaxy at large.


==Biography==
In a message sent to [[Serin Osman|Admiral Serin Osman]] by [[Michael Sullivan|Commander Sullivan]], it was noted that Boren was chosen above more senior personnel due to the results of projections and personality tests concluding that her message would be delivered with the appropriate amount of "extreme gravitas" and "believable sincerity."
In [[2558]], she was chosen by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to deliver the news of [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117]]'s apparent death on [[Meridian]] to the galaxy at large.{{Ref/Reuse|a hero falls}} In a message sent to [[Serin Osman|Admiral Serin Osman]] by [[Michael Sullivan|Commander Michael Sullivan]], it was noted that Boren was chosen above more senior personnel due to the results of projections and personality tests concluding that her message would be delivered with the appropriate amount of "extreme gravitas" and "believable sincerity." According to a letter of apology from Sullivan to Osman, Boren misspoke the date on which the Master Chief was officially declared KIA on October 27, 2560, two years after the correct and current date.{{Ref/Reuse|apology}}


In retaliation for the mistake, Boren was immediately reassigned to the Industries Discourse Management department on [[BXR-730]], a remote mining colony. There, she was given a non-public-facing job, and is also required to have her work reviewed on a weekly basis by a member of Sullivan's general staff.{{Ref/Reuse|apology}}
According to a letter of apology from Commander [[Michael Sullivan|Commander Sullivan]] to [[Serin Osman|Admiral Osman]], Boren misspoke the date on which [[John 117|the Master Chief]] was officially declared KIA as being October 27, 2560, when in fact it was supposed to be October 27, 2558.


Unbeknownst to Boren, however, the Master Chief was still very much alive, as ONI staged the announcement to fool the general public and to let [[Fireteam Osiris]] hunt him down without suspicion.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9N5x2iNPMg '''YouTube''': ''Halo 5: Guardians The Unofficial Story TV Commercial'']</ref>
