"Snaky" Jones: Difference between revisions

Jones was one of the [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] stationed aboard the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}} and was evacuated with the other personnel on board. Under the command of [[First Lieutenant]] [[Melissa McKay]], Jones joined a convoy that was ferrying supplies to [[Alpha Base (Installation 04)|Alpha Base]]. However, [[Covenant]] ground forces under the command of [[Noga 'Putumee]] soon attacked the convoy using [[Wraiths]], [[Banshees]] and [[Ghost (Vehicle)|Ghosts]]. Jones was in the fourth [[Warthog]] with [[Sergeant (UNSC)|Sergeant]] [[Corly]] when the vehicle was hit by a Plasma Mortar round from a [[Type-25 Assault Gun Carriage|Wraith]]. Corly was killed but Jones was thrown free.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 156</ref> Once recovered, he discovered that his helmet (with his team mic) was missing; as a result, he could no longer call for a pickup as the supply convoy left him for dead. He followed his sniper training and climbed to some cover and an elevated firing position in the form of rocks.

Targets soon presented themselves in the forms of two [[Sangheili]], one being [[Minor Domo Elite]] [[Ado 'Mortumee]] and the other being a [[Zealot]], [[Noga 'Putumee]]. His first shot decapitated [[Ado 'Mortumee]], but his second, aimed at [[Noga 'Putumee]], missed as the Field Master ran for cover. The [[Covenant]] commander responded by calling down [[Banshees]] to locate and kill the [[human]]. It is unknown if Jones was killed by the Banshees' attack run, made it back to Alpha Base or was killed by the flood, or perhaps killed when [[Spartan-117]] detonated the ''Pillar of Autumn'''s engines and destroyed Halo. His fate is unknown.<ref>''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', page 159</ref>
