Operational history
Battle of Earth
- Main article: Raid on Kilimanjaro
- Main article: Battle of Voi
When the Master Chief returned to Earth, Kilo 023 was responsible for extracting him, Arbiter Thel 'Vadam, and Sergeant Johnson from the A2 Hydroelectric Facility in the Tanzanian jungle. Hocus used the dropship's heavy weapons loadout to destroy two Covenant loyalist Phantoms in the process.[3] Shortly after their return to Crow's Nest, the base was attacked by the Covenant. Kilo 023's escape with wounded soldiers was delayed by Jump Pack Brutes, until the Master Chief arrived to fight them off.[4] After the base's evacuation, Commander Miranda Keyes briefly took command of the Pelican to coordinate offensive efforts around Voi.[5][6]
Expedition to the Ark
- Main article: Battle of Installation 00
- Main article: Battle of the Citadel
Kilo 023 was among the Pelicans aboard the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn when the frigate traveled through the Portal to Installation 00. Kilo 023, with Johnson, the Master Chief and several ODSTs aboard, successfully landed on the Ark. The ship served as backup while the Marines attempted to locate the Ark's Cartographer, though Hocus was able to spot it herself. Kilo 023 dropped off 'Vadam at the entrance to the Cartographer to assist the Chief and later picked them up once they determined Truth's location.[7]
Kilo 023 joined the strike force of Pelicans and Sangheili Phantoms sent to lower the Citadel's protective shield. Encountering heavy AA flak near the shoreline, Kilo 023's wing man was shot down, killing its crew and taking Kilo 023's Warthog with it, though Kilo 023 itself landed safely, later assisting the Master Chief as he made his way to the last barrier tower. It is unknown whether she participated in the final assault on the Citadel itself.[8]
