'''Lieutenant Rick Hale''' was a [[UNSC]] naval officer and [[Pelican]] pilot in [[2552]]. He was assigned to the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn]]'' with Pelican [[Charlie 217]]. 

When the ''Autumn'' arrived at [[Installation 04]] and was subsequently shot down, Hale and his Pelican managed to survive the crash and escape.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 208</ref> Unfortunately, they were captured by the [[Covenant]] forces on the [[Halo|ring]]. Hale was kept alive, however, so that he could be used as a decoy for [[SpecOps Elite]] commander [[Zuka 'Zamamee]]'s plan to attack [[Alpha Base]], the human stronghold.

Hale was forced to fly to Alpha Base and radio in to get clearance to land. He claimed he had wounded aboard, though his Pelican was actually overloaded with 30 SpecOps [[Elites]] in [[Active Camouflage]].<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 208-210</ref> As soon as Hale had radioed in, 'Zamamee killed him with an [[Energy Garrote]] and an Elite trained in piloting Pelicans took over for the landing. The last thing Hale did before he died was soil himself.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 210</ref>
