In [[2517]], [[List of "Seven" references in Halo|seven]] weeks out of the OCS, [[Lieutenant (Jr Grade)]] Keyes was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Magellan}} when those orders were rescinded and he was chosen to assist [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] with her task of searching for usable subjects for her [[SPARTAN-II]] project. In order to fool anybody who were suspicious, they told them that they were looking for a school for their daughter, and the both of them began observing the chosen subjects for the program. The first child they chose was SPARTAN subject number 117: [[John-117|John]]. Keyes never forgot this assignment or the names of each and every one of those children. | In [[2517]], [[List of "Seven" references in Halo|seven]] weeks out of the OCS, [[Lieutenant (Jr Grade)]] Keyes was assigned to the {{UNSCShip|Magellan}} when those orders were rescinded and he was chosen to assist [[Dr. Catherine Halsey]] with her task of searching for usable subjects for her [[SPARTAN-II]] project.

He became a foremost hero early in his career when he led a small group of security troops against a [[Covenant]] ambush of the frigate {{UNSCShip|Meriwether Lewis}} and held the Covenant off long enough for the ship to escape. He later toured on the Frigate Midsummer Night. He garnered many citations and years of combat experience against the Covenant during these tours. During one of these tours, Keyes went to [[Charybdis IX]]. There, he killed his first [[human]] being with a [[pistol]], during a riot. | ||
