User:Norman-123/Adam-309

SPARTAN-309 was a Spartan II Class III. He was later moved to the SPARTAN-IV program, where he was placed into Ghost Company.

Early Life
Adam was born on Tribute to a sucessful businessman and his wife. He was an only child and his childhood was mostly happy. However, everything changed when he was six years old. An insurectionist attack left his parents dead, and Adam was sent to an orphanage. A few weeks later, a man from ONI conducted several interviews on the children. A few days later, Adam was replaced with a flash clone that later died.

SPARTAN Training
In 2540, Adam and the rest of the Spartan II Class IIIs were told that they were to be the best soldiers the UNSC could have at their disposal, becoming a weapon to strike agaisnt the Covenant and the Insurection. Adam's ears perked up at this; he wanted nothing more than to avenge his parents by killing every innie in sight.

Adam initially did not cope well in training, as a result of his somewhat spoiled upbringing.This earned him the scorn of some other trainees who were brought up in more harsh enviroments. However, he adapted to the Spartan training, and managed to fit in. He was put into a three-man team, along with Olivia-361 and Lucia-349.

Operation:UNSAFE HARBOUR
Turquoise Team's first mission was to destroy a Covenant refit station located in the [blank] System, similar to the Unyielding Heirophant, except much, much smaller, only capable of supporting a fleet of maximum twenty ships. Turquoise Team slipped into the station using a captured Seraph and docked on the ship. They then moved through the hangar, encountering initially a small amount of resistance. After emptying the hangar, they slipped through the hangars, using the SPI's stealth capabilities to reach engineering. From there, they planted a SHIVA Nuke, which would cause a chain reaction, destroying the space station and damaging the nearby ships. They returned to the hangar, stole another seraph and escaped.

Battle of New Tokyo Gas Mines
Turquoise Team was sent to New Tokyo, a gas giant rich in methane, to disrupt a Covenant gas mining operation, along with several platoons of ODSTs. They boarded the Covenant space station constructed there and attempted to destroy it. The human attackers steadily pushed forwards, encountering stiff resistance. Adam and Turquoise Team were sent to engineering, where they were to rig the station to self destruct. Meanwhile, the ODSTs would create distractions and generally raise hell with the defenders. Despite the ODST's distractions, Turquoise Team still were forced to battle through hordes of Covenant. Just as they were about to reach engineering, a group of commando elites engaged Turquoise Team.

Turquoise Team battled with the commando elites, until all the elites were defeated. Sadly, Olivia-361 was killed in conflict. The rest of Turquoise Team rigged the ship to self-destruct and fled the ship. Unfortunately, reinforcements arrived and delayed the ODSTs in their attemptin escape, resulting in Adam and Lucia being the only survivors of the Battle of the New Tokyo Gas Mines.

Operation:FINAL FLAME
Operation:FINAL FLAME was a last ditch attempt to try and delay the Covenant at the New Asia system. Turquoise Team was sent to delay the Covenant in order to buy time for the the UNSC to evacuate civalians. Turquoise Team used an ONI Prowler to lay several HORNET Mines, destroying 6 Covenant Warships and damaging 4.

Siege of Paris IV
Turquoise Team was deployed to the capital of Paris IV to defend agaisnt Covenant attack. Turquoise Team fought off several waves of Covenant, until five scarabs were dropped off into the capital. Turquoise Team destroyed 3 scarabs, but they were forced to retreat. Shortly afterwards, Paris IV fell to the Covenant.

Fall of Reach
"There are consequences for glassing a world, shipmaster."

- SPARTAN-309 to a Sangheili Shipmaster, shortly before kiling him

Fall
Adam was stationed on Reach when the Covenant appeared in-system, and he was initially ordered to defend a Orbital generator, along with a battalion of Marines. They held off several waves of Covenant, and then it was reported that a two Scarabs was approaching their postion. Adam and Lucia went ahead to take them down. They took a Hornet, each Spartan leaping off the Hornet, landing on the Scarab, rigging it to blow, getting back on the Hornet and fleeing. They then returned to the generator, only to find that it was already being overrun.

Hijacking a Ride
The two Spartans and their pilot, at Adam's suggestion, avenged the defending Marines and Spartans by killing the remaining Covenant. At Adam's suggestion, they ditched the Hornet and hid, waiting for Covenant extraction craft to arrive. Sure enough, a Spirit soon arrived to extract the Covenant forces. However, instead of triumphant warriors, they found two angry Spartans and a UNSC Pilot. The three of them killed the pilots and flew the Spirit to a Covenant frigate. They rampaged through the frigate, killing much of the crew. It was apparent that many of the fighters were busy on Reach's surface, battling with Marine and Army personnel all over the planet. They slew the entire crew, and only to find once that they had secured the bridge that neither SPARTAN or pilot had no idea how to fly the ship.

Securing a Driver
In the end, they risked sending out a message, hoping that somebody would have a vauge idea how to fly the ship. The SPARTANs were in luck, and a ONI Agent that had extensive training in Covenant systems, along with several marines and a 7th Generation "Smart" AI recieved their signal. They sent the pilot to pick them up in a Spirit, and returned to the ship. The SPARTANs and the marines began doing a deck-by-deck search for surviving Covenant, and found mostly terrified grunts. They killed all survivors, and dumped their bodies off the ship.

No, we're not here to pick you up-we're here to kill you
The crew of the captured frigate then went to look around the area, looking for UNSC survivors. They found a group of almost hundreds Covenant, and recieved a message from an Ultra Elite named Karos 'Garamee, claiming that he had wounded and required them to activate the Gravity Lift and extract them. Instead, the UNSC members activated the weapons systems, blasting the the Covenant warriors. They managed to evacuate a couple Marines, and then made several blind jumps, continuing their deck-by-deck search for survivors, all while sweeping the ship for tracking devices.

Titan
"Twenty wraiths, about a hundred infantry, just two of us. I pity the Covenant."

- Adam-309 on the size of their target.

Adam-309 and the rest of Turquoise Team was sent to was sent to defend Titan, a moon orbiting Saturn, from Covenant attack. They found themselves holding down defensive postions around the capital of the city, Othrys. A massive horde of Phantoms began flying towards the city. The AA guns of the city were overwhelmed by sheer numbers, and Covenant forces began landing all over the city, followed by massive groups of infantry approaching from outside of the city, along with armor support.

Turquoise Team was sent to defend a shipyard on the outskirts of the city from Covenant attack, along with two hundred ODSTs. The SPARTANs/ODSTs had several mounted missile pods and mounted heavy machine guns. The initial wave consisted of a couple grunts, and was promptly dealt with in a matter of seconds. However, sheer numbers began gradually wearing down the UNSC Numbers, and as Covenant armor began to approaching the postion, shipyard, the situation gradually got worse and worse.

With Wraiths bombarding the postion from afar, Covenant infantry and light vehicles coming non-stop at them, the UNSC forces, despite having superior postions and cover, were gradually being overrun by sheer numbers. After two hours of almost non-stop fighting, Turquoise Team and the ODSTs were forced to fall back, leaving the shipyard to be destroyed by the Covenant. They soon found that the various defensive postions around the outskirts of the city were in similar postions, and fought for every bloody inch with the Covenant, being pushed back slowly but steadily.

Turquoise Team, along with just under a thousand ODSTs, Marines and Army that were defending postions on the outskirts of the city that were overrun fell back to an couple drab, ugly but defensible appartment buildings. Placing as many turrets around the buildings and surrounding areas as possible, and digging down, they proceded to hold off the Covenant again.

This time, they were in luck-the streets of the area they were holding out in made usage of Covenant tanks impossible. Since the UNSC forces were defending, they had a massive advantage. They mined the area, making advance a slow, painful approach for Covenant. However, again, sheer numbers overwhelmed the UNSC Defenders and they were forced to keep falling back after 5 hours.

Shortly afterwards, all forces were ordered to fallback to Rally Point Kilo, which was an ONI-controled building, and also fairly defensible. They were then informed that this was one of the last places in the city that was defensible, and that they would have to hold the line at all costs. The UNSC forces continued to defend the area, as with the orders.

Meanwhile, Turquoise Team was sent tto take down a group of wraith tanks that were bombarding the UNSC base from afar. They snuck towards the Wraith's postions, and found that there were roughly twenty wraiths in the remains of a nearby mall. Luckily, none of the wraiths were paying much attention. Turquoise Team snuck towards the postion, and with Lucia covering Adam with her sniper rifle, he snuck in the area, armed with his weapons and a Fury tac-nuke. He managed to sneak into the Covenant camp and arm the nuke, and then escape. This caused the Covenant forces to be reduced by twenty Wraiths and about a hundred infantry.

They were then given another mission, this time to destroy another similar group of AA Wraiths. This would allow the pelicans to extract the surviving UNSC forces. Turquoise Team made their way to the location of the AA Wraiths-a park at the center of the city. Turquoise Team slipped into the camp, rigged the warhead and fled again.

Now, the pelicans could safely land and provide reinforcements. The UNSC forces were able to use the window of opportunity to escape the doomed moon before more Covenant arrived.

Battle of 4 Vesta
While retreating from Titan to Earth, they found a Covenant corvette docked on 4 Vesta. The corvette was damaged, and the Covenant were attempting to repair it. Turquoise team decided to stop and trade up their pelican for the corvette. They landed the pelican near the repair site, where several grunts, engineers and brutes were trying to repair the corvette.

Turquoise team and a squad ambushed the few brutes and grunts that were defending the area, hammering them easily, with their pelican pilot providing air support, leaving only the engineers alive. They quickly managed to secure the damaged corvette, although they found that the engine was crippled beyond serious repair, that would take several months. They left the corvette on the asteroid and continued back to Earth.
