Thumbnail of the website.

Dr. Catherine Halsey's Computer is a marketing website for the Halo: The Television Series Season One. The site is framed as Doctor Catherine Halsey's computer, and contains information on characters well as planets in the series.[1]

OverviewEdit

Site openingEdit

The site opens with the words "Connecting", and "Welcome, Dr. Halsey", before showing the "GOLSTENT TOUCH PAD V15" and having six symbols being entered into it.

Main contentEdit

The site updated during season one, providing information about the status of characters and locations as they changed acting as a sort of epilogue to each episode. The ONI Database side of the site only added planets as they became applicable to the series, with zero updates to the text after they were added.

VideosEdit

The site also contained a touchpad where if a reader entered the correct password a video was shown.

  • Week 1: The first password was revealed on social media in the form of a video titled "//System Update.- Week 1" where several symbols were floating around, and 6 symbols turned Green in consecutive order.[2] When entered on the website, a teaser for the second episode of Season 1 "Unbound" would play called Halsey's Assurances.[3]
  • Week 2: The second password was revealed on social media in the form of the video titled "//System Update.- Week 2" where several symbols from Week 1 were floating around, and 6 different symbols from week 1 turned green in consecutive order. When entered on the website, a teaser for the third episode of Season 1 would play called "Admrial Parangosky Has A Plan For Miranda".
  • Week 3: The third password was revealed on social media in the form of a video titled “//System Update.- Week 3” where several symbols from Week 1 floated around, and 6 new symbols illuminated green in consecutive order giving a new password. When entered into the website, a teaser for the fourth episode of Season 1 would play called “What Makes Him So Special?”.
  • Week 4: The fourth password was revealed on social media in the form of a video titled “//System Update.- Week 4” where several symbols from Week 1 floated around, and 6 new symbols illuminated green in consecutive order giving a new password. When entered into the website, a teaser for the fifth episode of Season 1 would play called “What Is Happening To Master Chief?”.

The Admiral’s activities and monitoring priorities indicate she is not aware of our activities and plans.

Disabling or eliminating Parangosky is outside the scope of our initial implementation of Zed Protocol overrides.
Soren-066

 

Local intelligence assets report a ship IFF code matching that used by Soren in previous encounters has been detected in Madrigal airspace from a vector originating in outer system settlement (ref: RUBBLE).
Jin Ha

 

  • [!RECORDS DAMAGED!]
  • TIER 2A INSURRECTION COMMAND
  • SECTOR ONE\\MADRIGAL
  • DECEASED.
Remains recovered by Governor Vinsher for independent UEG identification testing did not arrive. Lack of organized Ha-faction activity reinforces initial assessment that Jin Ha is deceased. Surviving allies could be reorganizing under new leadership. This is being monitored.
Kwan Ha

 

  • [NO CAA RECORDS]
  • TIER 3B INSURRECTION ASSOCIATE
  • SECTOR ONE\MADRIGAL
  • ARTICLE 72 FUGITIVE

Before his disappearance, Governor Vinsher confirmed Kwan Ha was present on Madrigal, and was moving to neutralize her. Destruction of Ha-family surface site and skypipe is assessed to be a result of possible sabotage by Kwan Ha, given her knowledge of the facility and its safety measures.

Reassessment of threat level is recommended.
Cortana

 

  • (CTN 0452-9)

  • CURRENT MISSION AREA: R&D\\WHITETOWER\\CORTANA

Cortana has been briefed on the extraction plan, and provided with the secondary and tertiary Zed Protocol reaction conditioning flags.

Neural bridge connection is steady and ready for shutdown order.

All connections are green. No notable SPDR counter-intrusion activity detected on the FLEETCOM network.
Makee

 

  • (SUBJECT 4d4b45--E2-52)
  • FLEETCOM VISITING OFFICER’S QUARTERS (VOQ)
  • INTELLIGENCE ASSET

Contact made with Makee, but persuasion results are inconclusive.

Current plan of record is incapacitation and placement in cryostasis for detailed observation and experimentation.

The orders to S-134 and S-028 are clear: incapacitate first, then prevent all contact between S-117, Makee, and the artifact. - AS
Vinsher Grath

 

  • COLONIAL GOVERNOR
  • SECTOR ONE\\MADRIGAL
  • UEG DELEGATED AUTHORITY

Status is unconfirmed, but uncontrolled activity by business and political affiliates indicates high probability that Governor Vinsher has been eliminated, incarcerated, or otherwise removed from direct involvement in Madrigal affairs.

Last known activity was a movement with personal guards to Ha-family deuterium extraction outpost. The facility was destroyed shortly after he was scheduled to arrive. ONI local assets are en-route to the site for independent damage assessment.

ONI DatabaseEdit

Earth

 

  • Class: Capital System
  • Status: Defense Zone Alpha [UNSC Priority]
  • Diameter: 12,756 km
  • Gravity: 1.0 G
  • Population: 7,190,234,109 [UEG estimate 2.23.2550]
  • Climate: Temperate (managed)
  • Ecology: Complex biosphere (remediation ongoing)
Earth lies at the center of a large and well-established network of habitats and industrial sites spread throughout the Sol system. Cheap spacelift and fast fusion drives make intrasystem transport a routine matter, tying the lives of billions together in a web of information sharing and resource trade that stretches from Mercury to the Oort cloud. Security measures are mediated, to avoid productivity and morale impact. Work continues on an expansive upgrade of Earth’s orbital defense grid.
Reach

 

  • Class: Inner Colony
  • Status: Defense Zone Beta (UNSC Priority)
  • Diameter: 15,273 km
  • Gravity: 1.08 G
  • Population: 703,341,500 [CAA census 12.7.2535]
  • Climate: Temperate (volatile)
  • Ecology: Complex biosphere (limited t-clade introduction)
The largest and most prominent of Earth’s colonies, Reach was the first extrasolar world to be settled by humans, and was invaluable for later colonial expansion due to its confluence of slipspace routes and habitability. The majority of its population is of Eastern European descent, primarily Hungarian and Romanian. In addition to being a key mining world, Reach supports the most significant shipyards outside the Sol system. The Reach Military Complex is a network of surface fortifications, weapon satellites, and patrolling warships which form the most extensive line of defense in human space.
Madrigal

 

  • Class: Outer Colony
  • Status: Priority Resource Site - WARNING! Incursion Detected
  • Diameter: 12,000 km
  • Gravity: 1.03 G
  • Population: 59,305,892 [CAA census 12.6.2537]
  • Climate: Warm
  • Ecology: Stage 4 terraformed biosphere (systemic regression)
Madrigal possesses extraordinary deposits of deuterium (²H), which is a critical strategic resource used for military and civilian fusion reactors. A large, well organized Insurrection campaign resulted in the destruction of the Colonial Military Authority (CMA) garrison force in 2496 and collapse of the UEG-authorized government. Peacekeeping forces departed the planet in 2535 as part of the UNSC redeployment against Covenant incursions in the sector. The planet is currently under factionalized Insurrection control, with gray market deuterium exports funding what remains of the local economy. ONI continues to monitor events on the planet and conduct targeted strikes, in cooperation with local collaborators, to secure critical deuterium extraction sites for UNSC use.
The Rubble

 

  • Class: Unauthorized Colony
  • Status: Ungoverned
  • Diameter: -
  • Gravity: Variable
  • Population: 54,000 [ONI estimate 3.11.2551]
  • Climate: Artificial (unstable)
  • Ecology: N/A
The “Rubble” is an illegal and unauthorized habitat based around an occupied Xedon Industrial Cluster in orbit at the Hesiod L5 point. The facility is closely tied to the nearby colony of Madrigal for deuterium fuel and volatiles, but has no formal relationship with the warlords of that world. ONI analysis indicates the location is a major transhipment point for unauthorized slipspace transports, pirate activity, and smuggling in Sectors One and Three. Intercepted comms-traffic indicates substantial support for Insurrection ideologies.
High Charity

 

  • Diameter: c. 350 km (ONI Project BASEARROW estimate)
  • Gravity: Unknown (assumed c. 0.9 - 1 G)
  • Population: Unknown
  • Climate: Artificial
  • Ecology: N/A
Based on analysis of Covenant battle network (cf. “proselytization relay”) traffic and network organization, the mobile capital-ship designated HIGH CHARITY is the central logistical and strategic coordination node in the alien armada. The facility was believed to be outside of human-charted space until 2540, when it was first sighted above the glassed colony of Harvest. BASEARROW long-range sensor scans have provided first-order estimates of size and mass, but no detailed assessments of accompanying fleet forces or station armament has been possible at this time. Locating and assessing this facility is a priority task for the Office of Naval Intelligence.
Mamore

 

  • Class: Outer Colony
  • Status: Defense Zone Yankee [Security Cordon]
  • Diameter: 14,398 km
  • Gravity: 1.11 G
  • Population: 490 million [UEG census 2.5.2537]
  • Climate: Warm
  • Ecology: Stage 1 terraformed biosphere (t-clade adaptation)

Priority settlement target for second-wave exosolar development after development of the slipspace drive, drawing on volunteers from Jovian habitat clusters. Adaptation of terrestrial organisms proceeded well ahead of schedule, including test settlement of cetacean pods.

Mamore was a collection and processing point for populations displaced during counter-Insurrection campaigns of Operation: TREBUCHET and evacuations from Sector One and Sector Two during initial Covenant incursion, leading to rapid expansion of arcology centers and orbital infrastructure.

Anti-UEG sentiment has been a notable element of Mamore since establishment; the native “Freedom and Liberation Party” umbrella group has claimed responsibility for the Haven arcology bombing that killed two million citizens, among other crimes. UNSC peacekeeping operations and targeted Spartan strikes have significantly degraded rebel activity and influence in the arcology centers. An active and aggressive Insurrection presence is still present in ungoverned outer regions.
Eridanus II

 

  • Class: Outer Colony
  • Status: Ungoverned
  • Diameter: 13,521 km
  • Gravity: 1.01 G
  • Population: 0 [UNSC Navy remove survey 07.11.2530]
  • Climate: Dry
  • Ecology: Simple biosphere
Eridanus II was selected for experimental terraforming by Reach For Life pioneer group in 2440, but first permanent habitats were not laid down until 5.13.2497. A biomedical emergency was declared in the colony on 3.5.2530, with surviving researchers evacuated to Arcadia and New Jerusalem. UNSC and CMA records indicate counter-insurrection activity in the Eridanus system, but details are redacted. Colonial infrastructure was abandoned in-place, and recovery operations were canceled due to Covenant activity in proximal slipspace termini.
