{{Center|''This article is about the folder called S-III. Were you looking for [[SPARTAN-III program]] or ONI's [[Office of Naval Intelligence|Section III]]''?}}
When Dr. Halsey discovered and hacked [[Colonel James Ackerson]]'s computer at [[CASTLE Base]], she found a folder called '''S-III'''.  Contained in the S-III folder was the following:


'''S-III''' was a folder on [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]]'s [[Personal computer|computer]] at [[CASTLE Base]] on [[Reach]]. When [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] hacked the computer, she discovered two folders, S-III and [[KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN]].<ref name="HFSC13">''[[Halo: First Strike]]'', Chapter 13</ref>
==CPOMZ==


==Contents==
The [[CPOMZ]] file contained star charts. Halsey used the CPOMZ starchart to locate the Spartan-IIIs on [[Onyx]].<ref>[[Halo: First Strike]], page 130</ref>    The letters CPOMZ are also an acromyn for: [[Chief Petty Officer Mendez|Chief Petty Officer Mendez (CPOMZ)]] the man who trained the Spartans at a young age. This lead Halsey to believe that [[Chief Petty Officer Mendez]] was somehow mixed up with Ackerson.
===CPOMZ===
Contained in the S-III folder was a file called "CPOMZ", which contained celestial coordinates in the form of a 512-character alphanumeric star chart reference string. Halsey used the CPOMZ coordinate string to locate the planet [[Onyx]] which housed the [[SPARTAN-III program]].{{Ref/Reuse|HFSC13}} The letters CPOMZ are also an acronym for [[Senior Chief Petty Officer]] [[Franklin Mendez|Mendez]], the man who trained the [[SPARTAN-II program|SPARTAN-IIs]] at a young age. This lead Halsey to believe that SCPO Mendez was somehow mixed up with Ackerson. <ref name= GOOC16>''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'', Chapter 16</ref>


===Spartan-IIs===
==KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN==
In the folder were also extensive records of the SPARTAN-II program and its members,{{Ref/Reuse|HFSC13}} including a great deal of biomedical data.<ref name= "GOOC16"/> This indicated that Ackerson had knowledge of and an interest in the supposed top secret SPARTAN-II program.


==List of appearances==
KING UNDER THE MOUNTAIN file contained:
*''[[Halo: First Strike]]'' {{1st}}
 
*''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' {{Mo}}
*Information on the [[Forerunner]] artifact found on [[Sigma Octanus IV]].
*A full map of the CASTLE base facility on [[Reach]] that included a path to artifact, the [[Forerunner Crystal]], beneath the surface of [[Reach]].
*Along with the map was a complete survey of Menachite Mountain, where the original mineral mines were located before they were taken over by [[ONI]]. Menachite Mountain was an extinct volcano which is where [[Dr. Halsey]] found the [[Forerunner Crystal]] artifact.

In the folder she found extensive records of the [[SPARTAN-II|Spartan II program]] and its members.  This indicated that Ackerson had knowledge of and an interest in the supposed top secret Spartan II program.
