Adam Andrews: Difference between revisions

Line 37:

After the end of the [[Human-Covenant War]] in [[2552]], Adam continued to use Optican as a tool to help in the rebuilding of humanity. With a new [[Unified Earth Government]] initiative pioneered by [[President of the Unified Earth Government|President]] [[Ruth Charet]] to rebuild the UEG's infrastructure and a health plan for the survivors of the war, Optican (and Adam) was front-and-centre. This saw him dealing with subjects as varied as [[artificial limb]]s, advanced wheelchairs, instant-application [[medigel]], physical therapy, mental health, and the study and treatment of diseases from dozens of worlds - all of which had been spread thanks to the immense movement of refugee populations in the war. Unusually however, one of the very first partnerships Adam invested in following the war's conclusion was a partnership with [[Misriah Armory]] - a military-industrial corporation usually known for building weapons for the [[United Nations Space Command]]. The Optican-Misriah partnership had resulted in the creation of the [[EV-44 Nightingale]] - a tiltrotor aircraft and brainchild of Adam Andrews, originally intended as a purely medical support aircraft though eventually turned into a highly customisable airframe that could support "the best of both worlds."{{Ref/Reuse|Hippocratica}}

In [[2560]], Andrews was involved in the writing and recording of an autobiography, [[Not Far from the Tree: The Autobiography of Adam Andrews]]. During the recording sessions for the book, Andrews found it difficult to recall some of the earlier and more painful memories of his life. These included his experiences during the battle of Arcadia in 2531, and his rescue by {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}} forces, and triggered several flashbacks to memories of his childhood. The recording sessions for the audio book kept Adam awake for over thirty-six hours at a time.{{Ref/Reuse|Hippocratica}}

Adam's recollections of his evacuation from Arcadia had also brought with it a curiosity about the battle itself, and the "magician" that had saved him from the Covenant. As such, throughout his adult life, Adam began to research ''Spirit of Fire'' and her [[Battle of Trove|mysterious disappearance]] following the conflict on Arcadia - even sending scout teams to the planet itself to scour the [[Glassing|glasslands]] in search of evidence of who had been present in 2531. One such scout team deployed to [[Fort Deen (location)|Fort Deen]] ultimately led Adam to a region of Arcadia that had escaped glassing during the [[Second Fall of Arcadia|Covenant return]] to Arcadia a decade later - a [[Arcadia Forerunner ruins|Forerunner ruins complex]] located deep in the jungle. During the original battle in 2531, the location had been the site of a ''Spirit of Fire'' [[firebase]] deployment, and the destruction of a Covenant {{Pattern|R'awuw|Scarab}} assigned to defend it. Thirty years later, the site remained hidden and untouched, with the detritus from the battle left to rot.{{Ref/Reuse|Hippocratica}}
