'''Flight Officer Captain Carol Rawley''' (alternatively known by her [[Call Sign]] ''' | '''Flight Officer Captain Carol Rawley''' (alternatively known by her [[Call Sign]] '''Foehammer''') was the pilot of [[Pelican]] transport [[Echo 419]] on the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' in [[2552]]. She had great talent in the way of hostile insertions and mounting rescues, and this made her stand out among the other pilots on the ''Autumn''. Foehammer was voiced by [[Tanya Pettiford-Wates]]. Her copilot was [[Lieutenant Frye]].<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 38</ref> She is technically an unseen character, as players can only see her ship. She is a member of the [[23rd Naval Air Squadron]]. She also appears to be the leader of the Pillar of Autumn's Pelican contingent.<ref> [[Halo: The Flood]] page 39</ref> | ||

[[Foehammer]] escapes in the ensuing battle and descends to the surface of [[Installation 04]], where many [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] forces have landed. There, she helps the [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana]] pick up scattered [[Marines]] and get them out of the battlefield and back to [[Alpha Base]]. She and Frye assist the Chief and Cortana many times through the [[Battle of Installation 04]], including helping them rescue [[Captain Keyes]] in a daring raid on the ''[[Truth and Reconciliation]]'', landing them and a squadron of Marines on a beach to take the [[Silent Cartographer]], ferrying them to the [[Control Room]], and landing them at the [[Flood Containment Facility]]. She is tragically shot down later by [[Covenant]] [[Banshee]]s, as she attempts to pick up the Chief one last time and escape Installation 04 as the ''[[Pillar of Autumn]]'' explodes and destroys Halo.<ref>[[Halo: The Flood]], page 338,339</ref> | ||
