He would join the Navy and deployed to the colony world of New Singapore.

Human-Covenant War
"Is this what the front is really like?"

- Hendricks on his first deployment.

Battle of New Singapore
Being deployed to the recent attacked colony world of New Singapore, Hendricks was sent to the front lines as a pilot to drop off marines and other troops to reinforce the front lines.

Hendricks piloted a pelican dropship down to the surface within a hot zone containing a large Covenant presence. While flying down, phantoms and banshees chased down the ship, forcing Hendricks into abrasive action to save himself and the troops. Hendricks eventually lost the Covenant patrols and landed his crew on the ground.

While flying back to the UNSC ship he was deployed from, a phantom shot down the pelican, forcing Hendricks into a crash. While Hendricks survived, his co-pilot died in the crash. Hendricks began to explore the city with nothing more than a magnum and tried to return to UNSC controlled land.

While moving through the city, Hendricks mainly used stealth to avoid Covenant patrols and other Covenant deployments. While moving through the city, Hendricks engaged small bands of Covenant soldiers mainly to steal supplies off of them. Hendricks soon found a small Covenant relay station in order to contact UNSC forces. Upon entering the station, Hendricks was able to clear the station before word to get out to the Covenant. Hendricks was also able to find some Covenant data at the station which he also transmitted to the UNSC with his distress call. Soon, a rescue team arrived along with a few squads of marines to secure the station and take Hendricks back to his ship.
