Bio
SPARTAN-G052 was a SPARTAN-III that was in Gamma Company before being shipped to Noble Team for a while. After staying in Noble Team during the period from a month before the Battle of Reach to half a week away from the Battle of Reach, he was then sent to a Headhunters group with Kent-B011, a SPARTAN-III from Beta Company, which had been wiped out not so long ago by the Covenant.

Kent and Josh both had near-perfect scores of 99.41% in the Headhunters test, so they were paired up together. TheY joined the Battle of Reach and were nearly killed by a blasting shockwave from a Brute Chieftain's gravity hammer. Kent and Josh were mortally wounded, even with his MJOLNIR Mark V (H) Battle Armor on, and Kent died a few months later from the heavy wound. Josh had to abandon Kent because of overwhelming Covenant forces, but came back a few hours later with a Pelican. He picked Kent up, as plasma bombardment rained heavily down around them. Strangely, the Covenant aliens weren't glassing a part of the planet, Josh realized as he watched from the UNSC carrier Star Flash.

The carrier, while attempting a random Slipspace jump, was shot down by a Covenant destroyer, and, as it entered Slipspace, it slowly fell apart.

Just as the Star Flash was nearly fully destroyed, it came out of Slipstream space and, out of control, slammed directly into a rocky mountainous planet. Although much of the weapons and accessories and equipment/gear was still on the Flash, most humans were dead. Only SPARTAN-G052 and the half-healed SPARTAN-B011 were left.

Later, they were rescued by an Elite ship, out of food and dying.

At first they put up a reckless fight, killing most of the Sangheili, until they realized the Elites were Covenant Separatists and had been burnt and shot by Covenant Loyalists. Josh and Kent both got on the ship, and were escorted back to Sol system, to Earth, just before the Battle of Voi occurred. They were healed and given new armor and weaponry: MJOLNIR Mark VI (Headhunter) Battle Armor, M397 DMR, MA7K Carbine, and M6D standard-issue sidearms.

They fought valiantly at Voi, but Kent was killed in the proccess, bringing down nearly a battalion of Brutes with him, by setting off an explosion nearly equal to a nuclear warhead's explosion. Josh was again mortally wounded by a Brute's grenade launcher shot. He had to be rescued off the battlefield, near-dead. He joined in the Battle of the Ark, and found a way out on a half-wrecked ONI prowler, barely making it out of the portal out of the Ark, just before the Arbiter's or the Master Chief's frigate made it out.

He made a random Slipspace calculation with the flickering AI, Melissa, and ended up back at Sol miraculously.
