In [[2555|August 2555]], Mickey participated in [[Operation: COALPEPPER|a mission]] alongside Buck and Romeo at a United Rebel Front facility on [[Talitsa]] to recover the captured Huragok [[Quick to Adjust]], and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]].

In response, Mickey attacked and inadvertently pushed Romeo down a hill. While the URF soldiers chased after him, Buck used the opportunity to attack Mickey and succeeded in moving the fight just out of sight of Schein, and Romeo and his pursuers. Meanwhile, Romeo began to massacre the other rebels. As their brawl continued, Buck eventually managed to knock Mickey unconscious with a headbutt. Schein attempted to help Mickey and shot Buck in the back. Holding him at gunpoint, Schein attempted to use Buck as a hostage to force Romeo to surrender. However, Buck used his helmet to knock the doctor to the ground and smashed his own rifle against his face, killing him.<ref name="nb169">'''Halo: New Blood''', ''pages 161-169'' (Google Play edition)</ref> | In [[2555|August 2555]], Mickey participated in [[Operation: COALPEPPER|a mission]] alongside Buck and Romeo at a United Rebel Front facility on [[Talitsa]] to recover the captured Huragok [[Quick to Adjust]], and his human handler, [[Sadie Endesha]].

After escaping from Cassidy III, Buck lost much of his hostility towards Mickey and admitted that while he couldn't ever be fully trusted again, especially in situations regarding the Front, they could use Mickey's help with the [[Created]]. Buck spoke to Captain [[Thomas Lasky]] and Commander [[Sarah Palmer]] on Mickey's behalf and admitted that while he might be able to forgive Mickey, he would never be able to forget what he did. With Buck willing to work with Mickey again, Lasky and Palmer agreed not to return Mickey to prison for the time being, though no one could predict what would happen to Mickey once the conflict was over, whether he'd be allowed to remain free or be forced to return to prison. Working with Mickey again helped Buck understand that Mickey's actions were not his fault and that while he honored his friendship with Mickey, Mickey had not extended him the same courtesy in return. Buck decided to take advantage of Mickey's uncertain situation and have some fun with it, but not in a malicious way. To this end, Buck introduced [[Jameson Locke]] to Mickey as the guy who used to kill traitors like Mickey. Instead of being harsh on Mickey, Locke, to both Buck and Mickey's surprise, gave Mickey some friendly advice based on his own experiences which Mickey promised to consider. Shortly thereafter, Mickey witnessed Buck and Dare's wedding alongside the rest of Alpha-Nine and [[Fireteam Osiris]]. | After escaping from Cassidy III, Buck lost much of his hostility towards Mickey and admitted that while he couldn't ever be fully trusted again, especially in situations regarding the Front, they could use Mickey's help with the [[Created]].

He held the lowest rank and was the last to enlist of all the members of Alpha-Nine, though he joined the fireteam before [[the Rookie]], which is how the lance corporal got his nickname.{{Ref/Reuse|guide}} | ||
