On [[2559#December|December 12, 2559]], Browning was aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} when it was [[Battle over Installation 07|ambushed]] by [[Banished]] forces upon its arrival at [[Installation 07]]. As the ''Infinity'' fell to the Banished assault, Browning was evacuated onboard the [[SKT-29 Bumblebee|lifeboat]] ''[[Papa Tango Delta Zero Nine]]''. Both lifeboats managed to fly through a destroyed [[Banished]] [[Banished dreadnought|dreadnought]], though only ''Echo India Bravo Zero Eight'' came out unscathed. ''Papa Tango Delta Zero Nine'' was hit, losing its back section, and spun out of control.{{Ref/Novel|RP|1}}

Browning's lifeboat crash-landed on the surface of the ring, and was lodged inside a crevice, leaving its occupant trapped.

However, after the explosion on the ring and its sudden [[slipstream space|slipspace jump]], they lost contact with Horvath.

Biography

Early life

Lucas Browning was born in Vaslo, on Alluvion,[1] circa 2524 and grew up in a household of nurses and caregivers.[2] He was evacuated from the planet when he was still a child.[1]

Eventually, Browning became a combat medic in the United Nations Space Command Marine Corps.[2] Browning was attached to UNSC Infinity since the flagship was retrofitted over Earth.[1]

Battle for Zeta Halo

Main article: Battle for Zeta Halo

On December 12, 2559, Browning was aboard the UNSC Infinity when it was ambushed by Banished forces upon its arrival at Installation 07. As the Infinity fell to the Banished assault, Browning was evacuated onboard the lifeboat Papa Tango Delta Zero Nine piloted by TJ Murphy. Browning was the last person to board the lifeboat as Spartan Bonita Stone held a collapsing beam above him so he could reach the lifeboat. During its escape from the flagship, Browning’s lifeboat flew through a destroyed Banished dreadnought, but it lost its back section to weapon fire, and spun out of control as it entered the ring’s atmosphere.[5]

Browning's lifeboat crash-landed on the surface of the ring, and was lodged inside a crevice, leaving its occupant trapped. The crew took turns transmitting a distress call, which was answered by Spartan-IV Tomas Horvath of Fireteam Intrepid. However, after the explosion on the ring and its sudden slipspace jump, they lost contact with Horvath. The event, which fractured the ring, also buried the lifeboat deeper into the crevice, until Spartan Bonita Stone arrived and tore open the lifeboat’s hull to pull out each survivor, including Browning.[6]

Over the next six days, Browning and other lifeboat survivors travelled across the region with Spartan Stone. They eventually rendezvoused with another group of survivors led by Spartan Nina Kovan.[7] Browning bonded with two supply staff personnel from Kovan’s group: Erik Bender and Gavin Jo. The group, led by Stone and Kovan, traveled to the UNSC stronghold at the wreckage of the UNSC Mortal Reverie;[2] they arrived on December 19.[8]

Browning participated in the defense of Reverie when it came under Banished assault on January 31, 2560. Along with other members of his lifeboat group, he was stationed at a medical tent at the secondary barricade.[9] On February 2, as the UNSC forces fell to the Banished assault, Browning and Gavin Jo were attacked by a Sangheili Enforcer. While Jo was impaled by the Sangheili’s energy sword, Browning was saved by Kovan. Browning tried to stabilize Jo’s injury, but Jo asked him to leave as more Banished troops approached.[10] Browning fled along with other UNSC survivors of the battle. In order to prevent the Banished from finding Spartan Kovan and the rest of the lifeboat group, Browning stole a Ghost and les the Banished troops away from his friends. He expected to be killed, but was instead taken by the Banished as a prisoner of war.[11]

At some point following the fall of the UNSC stronghold at the Reverie,[12] the Banished unearthed a Forerunner cylix underneath the wreckage, which had been converted into a Banished outpost.[13] Under the supervision of War Chief Escharum, Browning was forced by Banished soldiers to interface with the cylix,[14] releasing the Xalanyn known as "The Harbinger" from stasis.[15] Browning was then taken to Chak 'Lok's Tower for interrogation,[16] and following his time at the Tower, he was taken to the Harbinger.[17] The Harbinger spoke to Browning, leaving him in a hysterical state.[18]

Personality and traits

Having grown up in a household of nurses and caregivers, Lucas Browning learned that a little attention and comfort could ease the suffering around him—this belief inspired him to become a medic. During the Battle for Zeta Halo, Browning experienced imposter syndrome and had feelings of self-doubt due to his young age and inexperience.[2]
