Damon's programming was completed on [[2553#November|November 23, 2553]] at around 1419 hours.<ref name="R4"/> Damon was created under the direction of [[Rear Admiral]] [[Serin Osman]] to assist Fred-104, who was ordered to have his [[Neural interface|neural lace]] upgraded so that his [[Mjolnir|armor]] could store an enhanced [[A.I.]] that would be able to interface with him. By December 12, Damon and Fred had been acquainted for less than two weeks. It was on this date that Fred and the other Spartans of [[Blue Team]] participated in the first stage of [[Operation: RETRIBUTION]] on [[Venezia]]. Damon was present for the surface op which resulted in the successful of elimination of [[black market]] crime boss [[Georgi Baklanov]] and the arrest of gunrunner [[Ross Nyeto]]. Upon returning to the {{UNSCship|Silent Joe}}, the {{Class|Sahara|heavy prowler}} that had gotten the team there, Damon could tell that Fred was wondering whether they were ready for for more action. The A.I. preemptively displayed readouts for each Spartan's armor and offered an analysis concerning the battle-readiness of each. Fred advised against reading his mind like that, at least until they got to know one another better, as he found it extraordinarily creepy. Damon begrudgingly agreed to refrain from doing so in the immediate future.<ref name="R4"/>

The following day, the ''Silent Joe'' arrived in the [[Shaps system]] in pursuit of [[Stolen Faith|a]] [[Mudoat starsloop]] that an undercover [[Ferret]] team led by [[Veta Lopis]] had secured passage on.<ref name="R10"/> The purpose of following the [[Kig-Yar]]-crewed vessel was to discover the location of a primary base of operations for the [[Keepers of the One Freedom]] and to potentially rescue hostages the group was suspected of kidnapping. It soon became clear that [[Salvation Base|the base]] they were looking for was located on [[Taram]], a [[natural satellite|moon]] of [[Pydoryn]]. Blue Team was ready to insert via [[Owl]] but was recalled to the situation room by [[Captain]] [[Piers Ewen]] before they could launch. It seemed that the Keepers had been alerted that something was afoot, making the mission much riskier. Fred vocally pushed back against the idea that the mission had to be cancelled because of this, which Damon noted had plainly irritated Ewen. Speaking across [[TEAMCOM]] for all three Spartans to hear, Damon said that Fred should apologize in accordance with protocol. A short time later, the A.I. offered condolences to him when it appeared that Lopis and the rest of her team had perished, as Damon had been able to tell Fred was fond of them. The captain eventually instructed [[Anki Hersh|his senior intelligence analyst]] to ping the Ferrets and in response, a transmission from [[Olivia-G291]] stated that the situation on the ground was "dark and uncertain". Damon recognized that she was using a redundancy code to get a hidden message across. Damon estimated that there was an 83.3% chance that the [[Spartan-III]] was trying to say [[Dark Moon Enterprises]] was involved with what happened to the missing persons they were after. Fred passed on his A.I.'s suspisocions, saying that Damon thought Dark Moon was behind their kidnapping, to which Damon sharply corrected him, saying that he had only said they might be ''involved''.<ref name="R10">'''[[Halo: Retribution]]''', chapter 10</ref>

Damon presented itself as a ghostly, hairless face that appeared neither male nor female and spoke with an androgynous voice.<ref name="R4"/> During its time working with Fred, the A.I. thought it very efficient to read the [[Spartan]]'s mind in order to anticipate queries before he actually asked them. It was also no trouble whatsoever to determine when Fred was lying to him. Damon was eager to make their partnership work as Osman intended.<ref name="R4"/>
