Commander Miranda Keyes

Summary

Commander Miranda Keyes (voiced by Julie Benz) (described as one of the most ballsiest officers in the fleet) was the daughter of Captain Jacob Keyes. As of 2552, she held the rank of Commander in the UNSC navy, and commanded the frigate UNSC In Amber Clad. In 2552 she accepted posthumously The Colonial Cross for her father for his actions during the events of Installation 04.

The First Battle for Earth

At the start of the battle her vessel was docked with Cairo Station. After the station was boarded she fought her way to her vessel with the help of Sergeant Johnson and Spartan 117. Then she took the In Amber Clad down to New Mombasa, where she dispatched Pelican dropships full of forces to join the massive battle with the Covenant in progress there.

During the battle, the In Amber Clad was the only vessel close enough to follow the High Prophet of Regret when his Assault Carrier entered slipspace inside the city.

Installation 05

They followed the Carrier through slipspace and ended up at Installation 05. There, she dispatched her full compliment of ODSTs to assist the Chief in his pursuit of the prophet of Regret. She then ordered him to kill that Prophet.

Meanwhile, Miranda and Sergeant Johnson went to the Library of the Halo along with most of the Marines of the ship. They attempted to retrieve the Index and although Keyes was sucessful, most of the Marines were killed or infected by the Flood. After a brief fight with the Arbiter, Keyes and Johnson was captured by Tartarus and his band of Brutes. The Brutes then took Keyes and Johnson to High Charity, where they met the High Prophets of Truth and Mercy. They were taken aboard seperate Phantom dropships before the Master Chief could rescue them.

Keyes was then taken to the Control Room of Installation 05 because she had been designated a Reclaimer by 343 Guilty Spark. Tartarus tried to force her to activate the Installation, but they were interrupted by the Arbiter and Johnson, who killed Tartarus. She then questioned Spark about the Halos and was told that they were on standby and could be remote activated at The Ark.

She is currently on Delta Halo.
