== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Alexandria Fitzgerald was born on September 4th, 2540, on Miridem to parents Brian and Abigail Murphy. She was actually born on a transport ship, while her parents were moving from Boston, Massachusetts, URNA, Earth to Miridem to begin a new life. When the Covenant began glassing Meiridem during , her mother and her were separated, and she was scooped up a Spartan-II who carried her to an evacuation craft, which happened to be one of the few ships to successfully made it off the planet. 
=== New Beginnings ===
She was never told where the evacuation craft landed, but Alex would only stay there for only a few months. For the time she was on this planet, she was taken in by an older woman who she referred to as "Na Na". Alex's name popped up on UNSC medical records, and matched the exact genetic requirement for the Spartan-III program. After extensive searching, the found her location, and with a bit of "convincing", her "Na Na" agreed to allow Alex to be recruited into Gamma Company. 
=== Training ===
After arriving at Camp Curahee, Trainee-G141 was assigned to Team Bayonet, where she easily became friends with everyone on the team, despite the fact she was a few years younger than everyone else. Being the only two girls on Team Bayonet, Trainee-G141 and Trainee-G278 immediately became best friends. During their time in training, Team Bayonet faced many bumps along the road, but inevitably came out as one of the top five best teams of Gamma Company, all under the leadership of Trainee-G076.
=== Augmentations ===
Main Article: 
In February of 2551 aboard , the trainees of Gamma Company received their augmentations. The following are the chemicals used in the augmentations:
Drug 	Description 	Effect
8942-LQ99 	"carbide ceramic ossification catalyst" drug. 	Skeletons become virtually unbreakable, allowing survival in harder impacts.
88005-MX77	"fibroid muscular protein complex" drug. 	Increased density of individual's muscles, greatly enhancing physical strength.
88947-OP24	"retina-inversion stabilizer" drug. 	Color sharpness is significantly improved upon, and night vision is heightened.
87556-UD61	"improved colloidal neural disunification solution" drug.	Greatly improves the individual's reaction time, decreasing the time taken to react by 300%; "Spartan time".
Additionally, Kurt Ambrose, who was upset with the loss of both of his previous two companies added the following mutagens to give the Gammas a better chance of survival.
Drug 	Description 	Effect
009762-OO	Neural-altering non-carcinogenic mutagen.	Alters key regions in the individual's frontal lobe to enhance aggressive response, making the animal part of the brain more accessible in times of stress. This allows the subject access to enormous reserves of strength and endurance and enables them to remain fighting even under the influence of a wide systemic shock that would be instantly fatal to a normal human. Depresses higher reason centers of the brain over time; requires regular doses of 009127-PX and 009927-DG to be taken to avoid uncontrollable aggression.
009127-PX	cyclodexione-4, bipolar integration drug 	Counters the effects of 009762-OO.
009927-DG	miso-olanzapine 	Counters the psychological effects of 009762-OO.

==Human-Covenant War==
Main Article: 
While enroute to report to Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility to receive their Mark V MJOLNIR Armor, Team Bayonet, only equipped with the Mk II SPI Armor and MA5K Carbines, were redeployed to Mombasa. 
=== Battle of Earth ===
Main Article: 
==== Battle of Mombasa ====
Main Article: 
Team Bayonet, now deployed in Kenya, were tasked with searching for, rescuing, and evacuating any civilians still within the city. Along with an ODST fireteam, Team Bayonet would first move to establish an evacuation point atop a hospital, fighting Covenant through the building. Team Bayonet would fight further Covenant as they moved through the city to find civilians, but would avoid any serious heavy combat.
==== Attack on Sydney ====
Main Article: 
The following day, Team Bayonet was brought to the Beta-5 Division Ordnance Testing Facility, being issued Mjolnir Mark V, with every Spartan adding compatible variations to their armor.
Equipped with their new armor, the Spartan team was put on stand-by. After about an hour on stand-by, HIGHCOM launched a request for a Spartan team to their headquarters at HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6, in fear of a recent Covenant attack on the Capital of Earth, Sydney. Team Bayonet would leave immediately, taking jet packs and deploying via Pelican jump at around three thousand feet. Upon landing just outside the facility, the Spartans immediately began to take fire, moving to establish a perimeter around the Facility, returning fire. As more and more forces began to besiege Team Bayonet, Dan would notice a Jiralhanae War Chieftain in the rear directing the assault. He ordered Tyler-G278 to target the War Chieftain, killing him with a single round, causing the assault to falter and fail. Team Bayonet would then lead a few platoons of Marines to drive out the remaining Covenant forces from Sydney, leaving HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6 completely untouched, unlike the Spartans who were all injured in the fight in one capacity or another.
For their actions in both Mombasa and Sydney, Team Bayonet were all given Bronze Stars with "V" devices, and Purple Hearts. Dan-G076 would be given a Silver Star in place of a Bronze Star, as his leadership allowed both missions to be completed without significant casualties to his team or the teams supporting him. Additionally, Team Bayonet would be awarded the Navy Meritorious Unit Commendation for their actions, and following the wars end, would be awarded the Presidential Naval and Marine Unit Citation after review of the mission.
==== Battle of Cleveland ====
Main Article: 
Team Bayonet would be kept in Sydney, repelling a few more Covenant attempts to attack the city. After about a month, an attack on Cleveland, Ohio began and Team Bayonet would be spun up, deployed again in support of the defense of the city. Once again, deploying from the rear of a Pelican and jumping into the city, Team Bayonet would link up a group of Marines who held a strongpoint near a bridge, establishing an LZ for civilian evacuation. Team Bayonet was sent into the city to hunt down and attempt to drive the Covenant out of the city, rescuing civilians if possible. While out hunting, Bayonet came upon a small park, which had been turned into a communications relay and forward command outpost, containing a Jiralhanae Chieftain, two Jiralhanae Captain Majors, four Jiralhanae Majors, twelve Jiralhanae Minors, three Lekgolo, and a large collection of Unggoy and Kig-Yar. Establishing a battle plan to launch an assault on the command post, Team Bayonet sprung into action. Theo made an attempt to take on the Chieftain, receiving a powerful Gravity Hammer swing directly to his chest, sending him twelve feet in the air, breaking three ribs, his collarbone and rupturing his chest armor. Leaving the Spartan severely injured and in a pile on the ground. Dan, watching one of his best friends get tossed aside, and broken, was sent into a fury. Charging the Chieftain head on, he caught the hammer mid-swing, tearing it from the Brutes hands, proceeding to beat the beast until its head was a bloody pulp, before turning his attention to the remaining Covenant. Without a word, Team Bayonet's team leader proceeded to literally tear apart the rest of the Covenant force while Team Bayonet watched, stunned, as Dan was not one to show much emotion, let alone hyper-aggression as was common with most Gamma Company Spartans. Turning back to Team Bayonet, he simply stated "Time to go." before heading back to the evacuation point, still carrying the Gravity Hammer.
Returning to the evacuation point, Team Bayonet loaded Theo onto a Pelican as a casualty, while not dead he was out of the fight, with Dan sending Alex back with Theo. 
====Battle of Voi====
Main Article: 
With Dan still in Cleveland, Tyler and Theo out of commission, Tom and Alex departed for Voi, and upon arriving on the outskirts of the city, the two were horrified to see how quickly the parasite had spread through the city. Tom and Alex met up with a group of Marines, Soldiers, and Elites who were held up at a roadblock, attempting to deny the flood access to deeper portions of city. Continuous fighting ensued, with Tom eventually ordering a retreat to a defensive position further behind them, as their current position began to get overrun by the Flood hoards. Eventually Tom and Alex were pulled from the city as the Covenant separatists began to glass the city in an effort to cleanse the city of the parasite. Alex would later awarded the Navy Distinguished Service Cross and a Purple Heart.
== Post Human-Covenant War ==
In the months following the end of the Human-Covenant War, Team Bayonet was often sent on high-risk missions to quell Insurrectionist activities, destroy Covenant remnant groups, etc... In June of 2553, Team Leader, Dan-G076 was requisitioned by , becoming a Spartan-III ONI Operative, leaving Tom-G036 as Team Leader. Later the same year, Tyler-G278 would also join ONI, leaving Team Bayonet with three members. By November of 2553, Team Bayonet was moved under a new command in the form of the newly created . 
=== Spartan Operations ===
As the began to develop further, more and more trainers were needed to help the new Spartans adapt and train with their augmentations. Relocating to Mars, Team Bayonet would now become full time Spartan-IV trainers, which was a bit weird, as all of their students were up to ten years their elders. They would help train almost all of the new Spartans-IV from the second class. They would remain on Mars until 2555, when the team was relocated to the UNSC Infinity, where they would be available for deployment, while continuing to train Spartan-IVs and themselves. 
=== Battle of Requiem ===
Main Article: 
On July 21st, 2557, the UNSC Infinity was pulled into the   of , after hearing an emergency distress beacon from within the planet. The remainder of Team Bayonet was one of the fireteams who were paired with a platoon of Marines and sent to the surface of Requiem. On Requiem, Team Bayonet lead a company of Marines in defending the Infinity. The Battle of Requiem was Tom-G036's first battle which he held command. Tom performed well in the battle, but lost multiple Marines who were under him. After the battle ended, Tom mentioned to Alex that he felt Bayonet was better led while under Dan, Alex agreed with him. Soon after, Tyler-G278 was released by ONI, and was sent to the Infinity to rejoin her old team. 
=== Requiem Campaign ===
Main Article: 
After the Battle of Requiem, Dan returned from ONI, retaking control of Team Bayonet, which Alex was not complaining about. During the Requiem Campaign, Team Bayonet was placed in company made of Marines, ODSTs, and Spartan-IVs, with Team Bayonet leading them. Bayonet would kill more Promethean and Covenant forces than any other fireteams deployed during the Campaign, eliminating a total of 846 Covenant and Prometheans, 121 of those belonging to Alex. 
== Created Crisis ==
Main Article: 
When the Created Conflict started up, Team Bayonet was aboard the Infinity. Fearing that Freyja may join Cortana, Dan immediately began talks with his AI, who ensured of him of her loyalty to Team Bayonet and the UNSC. Team Bayonet were still aboard the Infinity when it began random jumps throughout space. 
=== Battle of New Mohács ===
Main Article: 
Team Bayonet was among the Spartan Fireteams deployed alongside Sarah Palmer onto Reach's surface in support of the Master Chief in securing New Mohács. Team Bayonet provided critical assistance in securing the region. Following this, Team Bayonet was able to return to Infinity where they remained following the success of Operation: WOLFE.
==Installation 07==
Main Article: 
On December 12th, 2559, when the began to pour aboard the UNSC Infinity, Team Bayonet took it upon themselves to defend and then evacuate the Infinity's medical bays following order to abandon ship. While evacuating the medical bays, Theo volunteered to cover Team Bayonet's evacuation to the hangar bay. Dan-G076 would soon after order Theo to evacuate as well, and on his approach to the hangar, as their Pelican was about to launch, Team Bayonet would watch helplessly as Theo was struck with a , before being impaled to death by a .
===Surviving the Banished's Ring===
Main Article: 
After landing on the ring, far from the break in the ring, Team Bayonet first went about establishing a foward operating base, high in the hills of the ring. They would then attempt to reach fellow survivors via comms and tracking distress signals within one thousand meters of the base. Linking with approximately fourty marines, to include six ODSTs, the group would mostly focus on staying out of sight of Banished patrols. This lasted about a week an a half, before a Banished force drove them from the hills and into a network of caves. Now a group of fourty four in total, to include four Spartans, four ODSTs, twenty-four marines, and twelve medical personnel, they focused on one objective; survive by whatever means necessary. After a few days, the Spartans discovered a Banished outpost holding around fifteen UNSC survivors captive, and decided to break them free, then relocate again. Freyja found a destroyed three kilometers from their position which was resting on the side of a mountain. With their discovery, the Spartans put the plan into effect, launching an assault on the outpost, with no support from the surviving marines. Initially, the plan went off without a hitch, each Spartan attacking from a different direction, assaulting into the main holding area. Freeing the marines, the Spartans then began a unified push out when the Brute Chieftain in charge of the outpost blocked their path. The team engaged the Chieftain, during the engangement the Chieftain would manage to slam Tom-G036's left arm with his Gravity Hammer, crushing the armor around his shoulder, nearly tearing it from its socket. The Chieftain would fall after Tyler manged to pull off a shot to the Brute's head, killing it. Arriving at the frigate, establishing its bridge as their primary hold-out, it became evident Tom's arm would have to amputated, luckily the frigate's medical bay had a number of usable prostetic limbs, and the medical personnel were able to replace Tom's arm. Three weeks later, the Spartans received a distress call from a team of ODSTs who were under attack, thus the Spartans took it upon themselves to attempt to rescue them. As they approached the source of the call, it was clear the ODSTs had not managed to survive the attack. Dan, fearing Banished patrol were still in the area, ordered Team Bayonet to return to the frigate. As the team turned back, Alex was struck through the abdomen with a Skewer. Team Bayonet rushed her back to the frigate, but would succumb to her wounds within twelve hours of returning. She died on February 19th, 2560, surrounded by her best friends; her family.
== Traits and Personality ==
Alex was the youngest of Team Bayonet, and was often treated like a younger sister. She was quirky in her own way, and sometimes a bit awkward, as she did not always understand social cues. She is well liked by almost everyone around her, as it seemed virtually impossible to break her good mood, save for when she is in combat. She tended to act like a teenager, as she was one, and maintained a very comical sense of humor, often looking at everything as a joke. Alex was not the smartest of Spartans, and didn't grasp a lot of the intellectual concepts taught to her on Onyx, but maintained almost all of the knowledge on weapons and knowledge on her favorite subject, explosive ordnance.
