Curt B Creamer

Major Curt B Creamer is a commissioned officer of the UNSC Spartan operations. One of the most experienced ODST veterans by the Covenant Wars end, Curt served for most of his acting career in the Bullfrog unit of the Orbital Drop Shock Troopers. 
== Birth and early life ==
Curt: Where are mummy and daddy? Did the monsters get them?Isabelle: Ssh, baby. I won't let them get you.Born to the police officers Lucia and Olaf Creamer, Curt B Creamer was born in 2527, in Pirth city, Arcadia. His parents line of work meant that he did not see them often, but the family was still incredibly close, despite the fact that for most of his childhood Curt was raised by a hired governess, the elderly Isabelle Hutz. When the Covenant invaded Arcadia in 2531, his parents fought alongside Marines from the UNSC Spirit of Fire, but were unfortunately killed by a burst from a Sangheili ultras plasma rifle. Curt was at home during the start of the invasion, and was hurried to Cargo transport Two by Isabelle. Isabelle was nearly killed on the way by a shot from a Type-51 carbine wielded by a T'Vaoan sniper. However, before the jackal could execute the two, an ODST sergeant killed the creature with an M7s submachine gun, saving the lives of the pair. After reaching Transport Two, guarded carefully by Spartan-II Alice-130, who had hijacked a wraith, one of the marines stationed at the transport was struck dead by a plasma pistol shot from a group of invading Unngoy, followed by Kig-yar and even a Sangheili major. Yelling at Isabelle to get onto the transport, Curt pulled the pin on the fallen soldier's frag grenade, killing several of the Unngoy and wounding the Sangheili when they got close. This easily allowed Alice to mop up the survivors.
 
== Teenage years and enlistment ==
Bennier: Stand down, you fucking traitor. You're lucky that I don't---Curt: Bennier, enough. Matt, please. We need every soldier that we can get.Matt Nylund: Oh, I will fight the UNSC's war. I'll just do it on my own terms. Terms where I'm not a worthless piece of cannon fodder.-The confrontation between Beta-Six and Matt Nylund.Despite wanting revenge on the covenant for killing his parents, Curt refused to join the Spartan-III Alpha company when offered the opportunity to do so, believing that he could do it in a different way. After being adopted by Isabelle, he moved to and was educated on Vyrkan, a colony station built with a self sustaining biosphere, functioning much like an actual planet. Once he graduated from the local military school with flying colours, Curt joined the ODST bullfrog division, intending to drop directly into Covenant occupied territory, break into their command centres, and slaughter every one of them. After he joined the ODSTs, Isabelle bought a UNSC propaganda poster featuring an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper, and proudly showed it to her friends and neighbours, stating that her adopted son was now a soldier fighting for humanity. During his training, Curt excelled at all exercises, up to the point where fellow trainee and rival Matt Nylund considered him a threat. His jealousy of Curt led to him formulating a plan to take over the academy, kill all cadets, and bring the academy under his control, where they could build a rebel cell in order to fight the covenant on their own terms. Upon assembling a group of like minded ODST trainees, Nylund destroyed the base's communication array, cutting it off from any outside help. Before the command staff could alert the garrison of the sabotage, Nylund executed them with a stolen M6H magnum and hacked into the power supply, cutting it off from all rooms except the command centre. However, the garrison became aware of the sabotage and assaulted the control room. The ensuing gunfight woke up Curt and seven other trainees, who realized the blackout had sent an insurrectionist fleet inbound to take the academy. Knowing that if the trainees were to retake the base they had to be armed and armoured, Curt broke into the armoury and equipped himself with the bullfrog BDU, urging the others to suit up, as it was time they started acting like the ODSTs they were training to become. Equipped with BR55 battle rifles, Curt and the seven other trainees stormed the command centre, killing the ten rogue trainees guarding the door. Upon entering, Curt confronted Nylund, but was force to kill him with his M6G after the traitor refused to back down. The squad then rebooted the power and comms, bringing the academy back under UNSC control. For his actions in this incident, Curt left as second lieutenant.
== Later career ==
Eventually, Curt was promoted to first lieutenant. After destroying an important covenant weapons factory, the Holy Forge, which had been creating a fleet to invade human space, Curt earned shore leave, which he used to return to Vyrkan, visit Isabelle, and spend some time on the shores of artificial oceans. During this time, he met sergeant Martha Brumm. The two got to know each other over the course of two months, and developed a romantic relationship which culminated in a night in bed together. However, the two later decided to break off their relationship due to the fact it could distract them from their duties. After the long shore leave ended, Curt returned to the front lines, where he was reunited with his squad, unit Beta-Six. Interestingly, sergeant Brumm had been reassigned to the unit. The two generally avoided maintaining anything other than a working relationship, but they did briefly attempt to reignite their romantic history. Ultimately, this attempt failed, but the two remained close friends. 
== Destruction of Reach ==
After defending Sigma Octanus IV, Curt and Beta-Six were recalled to Reach, where they were assigned to the UNSC Savannah. When Savannah donated its slipspace drive for operation UPPERCUT, Curt and Lieutenant Commander Raleigh Swift engaged Phantom boarders, who attempted to take out the reactor of the warship. As the Corvette Ardent Prayer began bombarding the damaged warship, Beta-Six made it's way to the SOEIVs, with Swift sacrificing himself so the rest could escape. 
During the battle of New Alexandria, he was the acting commander of unit Beta-Six, due to Swift having died when the Savannah was destroyed. Coming into contact with Spartan B-312, Beta-six fought alongside the Spartan-III until they reached a civilian evac point and escaped the Jiralhanae occupied zone, heading for a rendezvous point at the nearby UNSC Pillar of Autumn. Curt's UH-144 Falcon was later commandeered by Noble six, who used it to manuever through the Covenant infested skies of the once proud city. Upon delivering Six to a Reunited Noble team, Curt set out to the nearest evac point, where he again came into contact with B-312, and used a scorpion tank to reach the doors of a destroyed Sword base, but then left in the scorpion to escape a burning Reach with his squad. Eventually, Beta-Six reached the Pillar of Autumn, and fled Reach. After arriving at the Mega construct known as halo, Beta-Six participated during the battle for its surface.
== War for Alpha Halo and encounter with the flood ==
Due to the fact that Beta-Six was deployed heavily on the surface of Alpha Halo, it was not long before they encountered the parasitic organism know as the flood. When sent by Cortana to investigate the disappearance of Marine Squad Recon Seven, upon reaching the squads last known location, a jungle swamped with thick fog, they found nothing but a MA5B Assault rifle and spent casings littering the ground. The area was splashed with human blood, which interestingly was mixed with splotches of Sangheili as well. As Curt searched the surrounding ground, he found a terrified Unggoy, who did not shoot, nor scream, but instead blubbered about parasites. When he inquired the Unggoy about what had happened, it simply wailed that "It" had taken them. Ordering squad member Bennier to watch the grunt, Curt and Beta-Six proceeded through the mist, until they were approached by two running humanoid figures in the darkness. Ordering the two to identify, they revealed themselves to be ODST Gunnery sergeant Marcus Stacker, Private first class Chips Dubbo and Jonesy the cat, the Autumns ships cat. When inquired about the location of survivors and wounded, Stacker bitterly laughed, stating that he, Chips and Jonesy were all that were left. As Curt was about to ask the strength of the Covenant force, the Grunt captive was heard screaming, and M90 shotgun shells sounded off. Dubbo yelled that they needed to leave immediately, and as Beta-Six and survivors ran back to the Falcon that they had flown in on, Bennier was seen battling three mysterious creatures that resembled Sangheili. Small, Squidlike organisms were seen scuttling along the forest floor, and the captive was seen screaming at the top of his lungs, firing bursts at the mysterious beings with a Plasma pistol. Upon defeating the creatures, Beta-Six hastily boarded the Falcon along with Dubbo, Stacker, Jonesy and the Captive. Curt opened a comms channel to Cortana, while Brumm interrogated the Grunt. Once he told Cortana of what he thought was a new Covenant species that had the ability to mimic and infect other organisms, Curt was informed that the reality was far worse, and he and his squad were incredibly lucky to be alive. What they had encountered, the Unggoy had called the flood, and Cortana told Beta-Six that it was an ancient parasite, one that the ring had been built to destroy. Once he was informed of the Masterchief's plan to use the Pillar of Autumns reactors to blow up the ring, Curt ordered Beta-Six to find a slipspace capable craft to escape the halo's destruction. Chips scanned the sections of the ring, and learned of a Condor troop transport that had landed during the Autumns crash and had since been abandoned. However, the surrounding area was home to a swarm of flood. Knowing that they did not have any other choice than taking one of the Covenant warships in orbit, Curt ordered Chips to pilot the falcon to as near a location as they could. Before the falcon carrying Beta-Six landed, Curt gave the Unggoy captive an M7s SMG, M41 SPNKR rocket launcher, and a backpack to carry Jonesy, stating that the plasma pistol that the covenant soldier currently carried was completely ineffective. Curt himself grabbed a SAW class light machine gun, with the rest of the squad arming themselves with flamethrowers, M90 shotguns, and MA5B assault rifles. Once the rag-tag group deployed, they were instantly swarmed by flood pod infectors. Keeping the horde back with fire, fragmentation grenades and buckshot, Beta-Six managed to reach the outcrop where the target had landed. However, before Curt could make it inside, he was slashed across the back by a combat form. To stop the flood super cells from mutating him, Martha torched Curt with a short burst from her flamethrower, severely scarring him but saving his life. She then picked an unconscious Curt up and carried him into the Condor, then slammed the troop bay door behind her. Curt had several trauma kits applied to the burn area before his condition was stabilised. He awakened just in time to see the ring being destroyed. Upon seeing this, he ordered Chips to take the condor out of the system, before spending some time with Martha to recover from his wounds. 
== Trip back to Earth and battle of installation 00 ==
Taking a month to arrive at the Sol system due to the Cole protocol, Curt used this time to recover from his injuries. He attempted once more to restart his relationship with Martha. The two initially hit rough ground, but it ran smoothly after a week. Growing closer due to the shared experiences of the squad, Beta-Six ran a lot more effectively as a unit. After a month of slipspace jumps and avoiding Covenant patrol groups, the squad arrived back in the sol system, where they were reassigned to Cairo station security. After repelling covenant boarders, Beta-Six was deployed planetside in order to stave off the guerrilla war effort that the covenant had been utilising in the African jungles. The squad made use of several M12A1 Force application vehicles to drive the jiralhanae out of several tactical points. After the portal to an unknown forerunner location was opened, Curt and Beta-Six were deployed through the portal in order to route the enemy forces. Deployed alongside the legendary John-117, Curt and the Beta-Six division manged to fight their way to Avery Johnsons pelican, and were then redeployed at another location. This second location, at least for Curt and Squadmate Wong, was being deployed alongside the Masterchief once again to take a Forerunner control spire in order to deactivate the energy shield protecting the Prophet of Truth. Being given a spartan laser by the chief, Curt then used the weapon to devastate enemy armour, and provide covering fire on a hornet that was sent in to be piloted to the third spire by 117. However the flood proved to be a far more devious foe than mission command had ever dreamed of. After destroying Voi, they arrived at the ark in order to wipe out humanity. Curt, Wong, and one of the surviving members of the elite strike on the tower held off the dreaded parasite, with Curt swearing loudly upon realising that it had followed the Shadow of Intent all the way to the ark. After several blasts from his laser weapon, the battery ran dry, and Curt was targeted by a flood infected jiralhanae armed with a Type-25 spike rifle. As the heated spikes sped towards the defenceless ODST, Wong jumped in front of his commander, taking the attack. Upon a shocked Curt realising this, Wong simply stated that Curt would have done the same for him, before acknowledging the immense amount of blood pouring out of his wounds. As Wong collapsed, Curt grabbed him and carried him onto the hornet, which the elite was now piloting. As the second elite boarded the side seat, Curt placed the mortally wounded trooper in the hornet, removing his helmet and uttering the words "I'm sorry", before Wong expired. As the VTOL aircraft flew to the location of the damaged Shadow of Intent, Curt pondered about how Wong had always been rather standoffish and never liked the members of Beta-Six, wondering why he had chosen to sacrifice himself for a man that he didn't know that well. After boarding the Shadow of Intent, he was reunited with Bennier and Martha, where he sadly informed them of Wong's demise. Beta-Six was evacuated by the Shadow of intent along with the rest of the UNSC forces sent to the ark.
== Post War life ==
As the war ground to a halt, Curt pondered his future, given that the covenant as a single organisation no longer existed. Deciding to return to Vyrkan, he spent three months there, exploring the islands in the artificial ocean and spending time at his home town. During this break, he met the T'vaoan kig-yar Res A'siin, who had been offered amnesty by the UNSC in exchange for information in 2548, due to the fact that the covenant had branded him as a heretic. Curt got on surprisingly well with the alien, and A'siin offered to teach him how to go fish-diving, though Curt declined the offer. After unwinding at the colony where he had grown up, Curt then returned to active duty due to the growing threat of the insurrection. Beta-Six was then deployed along with Delta-Four, Omega-Three, and Alpha-Nine. The primary objective was to capture a UNSC stronghold that had been overtaken by insurrectionists. As the four units approached the target in a pair of condors, eight M71 Scythes began firing at the troop transports, severely damaging Delta-Four's condor, and forcing both to make an early landing. As the condors touched down and deployed troops, it was clear that the terrorists were very well dug in, as they had set up multiple machinegun emplacements, and were bombarding the group with rockets. As it became clear that they were not going to be able to take the fortress through a direct approach, Curt instead formulated a different plan. Bennier, Buck, Agu, and Kaladas were to break into the base from behind and kill any rebel guards that got in their way. In order to distract the rebels from this plan, Curt sat down with the rebel leader in an attempt to begin negotiations. As the two talked, Curt suggested letting the rebels have the stronghold so long as they did not bother the UNSC any further. The rebel commander responded with the fact that they did not want the fortress, they wanted the planet. After stating that the UNSC would not give the world up, the commander coldly responded that they would reconsider after seeing what had happened to him, and then promptly shot Curt in the chest. Severely wounded, Curt still taunted the Insurrectionist leader by stating that she had missed his heart, leading her to state that that fact could easily be remedied, she picked him up in a headlock, threatening to shoot him. At that second, the infiltration team burst through the door. As the rebels engaged the ODSTs, Curt punched the rebel leader in the face, before Bennier opened up with his M90 shotgun, knocking the leader back. As the group began imprisoning the rebel survivors, Martha ordered a medic to tend to Curt. 
== Battle of Talitsa ==
Spending six months in a military hospital due his injuries, Curt used the time just before he was discharged to use tattoos of flames coming up to his elbows to cover up the burn scars on his arms, and one of the helljumper symbol to cover up the scarring on his back. He and Beta-Six were then reassigned to a larger company of ODSTs in order to combat the growing insurrection on the planet Talitsa. Due to the fact that talitsa was anti-centralist, the UNSC was currently engaged in the largest conflict since the covenant war in order to take it back. The company that Beta-Six was assigned to was placed under the command of Major Dugan-001, a Spartan-II who had been reassigned to Project JAVELIN during the war, and regarded ODSTs as ONI's hounds. The rebel group that 001 had assigned them against was backed by the Kra'dossh Insaali, a group who's name was taken from a Sangheili insult meaning "dishonourable ones". The Kra'dossh were led by a Sangheili Evocatus delegatus named Ortan Vadinos'ai, who, after the war, had deduced that the only thing that mattered was the survival of the legion. Knowing that he had to lead the group to ensure that it survived, Vadinos'ai killed his leader and went rogue with the legion. These ex-covenant mercenaries were the brutes of the insurrection, supplying their employers with covenant tech and vehicles that were often damaged or non-functional. The insurrection fixed up these vehicles with human tech, equipping damaged locust walkers with gauss weaponry and rocket powered legs. Curt was deployed alongside Beta-Six and two other squads during his first engagement, which took place in a large canyon. As the group proceeded with caution, one of their warthogs was disabled by an EMP, putting them on high alert. When a hostile showed up on the group's motion tracker, Bennier immediately killed it with an M319 Grenade launcher, then inspected the carcass, revealing it to be an Unggoy. This highly confused Curt, expressing that the UNSC was fighting terrorists, not aliens. At that moment, the disabled warthog was destroyed by a gauss blast, followed by Sangheili rangers descending on the group from the canyon walls. Humans followed this group, and instantly the unit was surrounded. As they fought these insurrectionists, a vehicle that resembled a locust landed on the battlefield. As Curt and other members of Beta-Six opened fire, the vehicle leaped onto one of the canyon walls. It locked down it's legs into the rock and spun up it's main cannon, raining gauss from the sky. While the the insurrectionists attacked the rock that the unit was taking shelter behind, Curt noticed an EMP grenade that had been dropped by a fallen sangheili. Ordering Beta-Six to cover him, Curt sprinted and grabbed the grenade, while the locust began firing it's main cannon directly at him. Unfazed by this barrage, Curt scaled the canyon walls, then jumped onto the front of the locust, planting the grenade. Curt then casually jumped from the locust while it exploded. Without the firepower support, the ODSTs mopped up the rebels easily. With this threat eliminated, Beta-Six then captured the area and returned to base.001 was surprised to see the group alive, stating that perhaps the ODSTs were not as incompetent as he previously believed, and simply reassigned them to yet another combat role. Due to the fact that Dugan pushed the unit extremely hard, disregarded them as expendable, and did not care how many he lost, a small group of troopers began to question his leadership. Curt believed that the major would do the right thing in order to win the battle of Talitsa, but Martha Brumm did not. This put her into conflict with Curt, who still attempted to keep the unit safe. During this time, Curt removed the arms from his ODST BDU, in order to combat the heat. During a scouting operation, Curt was deployed solo. Arriving at an area that Major Dugan told him to scout out, Curt did not notice any signs of rebel activity. After scanning the area repeatedly with a sniper rifle, he noticed something that raised his attention; a small group of rocks tumbling down a hill. As he searched the cliffs, he noticed the air wavering in front of him. Realising that he was surrounded, Curt panickily attempted to contact the major, only to be knocked out by a punch to the jaw. His assailants, a group of spec-ops sangheili, then lifted his unconscious body and carried him onto a nearby troop transport. Hours later, he awoke at a nearby Insurrectionist detention centre. Realising this, Curt grimly accepted his possible future. Stripped of his armour and weapons, Curt was forced to slave in the mines, mining for ore that the terrorists could use to create weapons. During this period, he met Wanda, a fellow detainee. She inspire his hope for the possibility of escaping, and he began formulating a plan. Basing his ideas off those of Matt Nylund at his training academy, Curt and Wanda created an insurrection within the insurrection, knowing that they needed to escape. As the group gathered weapons, Curt began putting together the final stages of his plan. When the inmates were taken to the mines one morning, Curt initiated phase one of his plan. While they were toiling, Curt threw a chunk of ore at one of the sangheili guards, severely wounding him, and was thus taken to solitary confinement by a group of four guards. While he was thrown into his cell, the other inmates enacted their plan. With the number of guards being reduced drastically, the inmates attacked and killed the guards, then confiscated their weapons. As Curt sat in his cell, he swallowed a minor poison that forced him to regurgitate the contents of his stomach. These contents were the components of an M6P magnum and three magazines of ammunition. When the soldiers guarding the cellblock turned to check up on him, Curt shot them with his M6P. He then grabbed the key rings from one of the guards and unlocked his cell. Seizing the BR55 of one of the guards, Curt then unlocked the cells of other POWs, and urged them to strike back. While the riot outside continued, Curt and his rag-tag army rampaged through the insurrectionist headquarters, heading for the command centre. As the guard dealt with the riot outside, Curt broke into the command centre as the inmates caused havoc in the halls of the base. Using the handprints and retinal scans of the deceased base commander, Curt attempted to access highly classified files and communiques, which the computer reluctantly let him access. Downloading rebel data, Curt noticed something suspicious in one of the files. Upon opening it, it was revealed to be an encrypted message from one of the high ranking officers on the talitsa campaign, who was allied with the UNSC. Decrypting it revealed hundreds of files on UNSC tactics, vehicles, and a holographic message from this individual. Once Curt opened this message, it was revealed to be Dugan-001, having defected to the Kradossh Insaali. Furiously downloading this information, Curt then planted a bomb under the central command terminal. Storming off towards the armoury, he then donned his confiscated ODST gear, and ran outside to a captured Mastodon. Jumping onto this leaving troop transport, he then waited in the troop bay, brooding over the reasons that Dugan could have betrayed the UNSC over. After a journey that lasted a few hours, the troop transport arrived back at the UNSC firebase that housed the ODST unit. Reuniting with Beta-Six, Curt assembled a small squad of ODSTS in order to confront the traitor, leaving Brumm, Bennier, and Vi to guard the exit. Bursting into the command centre of the firebase, Curt confronted Dugan with this squad, bringing up the fact that he was a traitor. Dugan initially denied this, but upon being showed the communique, admitted to it. Upon attempting to arrest him, Dugan stated that he would not be coming quietly, and lunged at the group with a pair of Bloodblades, having taken them from a silent shadow commander during his operational history. With the traitor slashing through the group, Curt attempted to stop him with a shotgun, but was moderately wounded by Dugan. With the Spartan-II calmly walking outside the base, Curt managed to get through a communication to Bennier, saying that the major had gone rogue. Applying biofoam to the affected area, Curt then rushed outside, seeing that Dugan had escaped. Knowing that the group was left without a leader, Curt was hastily promoted to major, and then set out with the unit to hunt down the rogue spartan. With the entire unit being divided into groups, Curt instructed every soldier to keep their eyes and ears open for any sound or movement. With Beta-Six proceeding cautiously, one of the comms spiked up, saying that they had found a damaged piece of Mjolnir on the ground. VISR identification revealed that it belonged to Dugan. However, shortly after this communique, all of the squads vitals flatlined, and their names winked off the roster. Due to the fact that this team was the closest to Beta-Six, Curt ordered the squad to scan the area using VISR, and ordered all squads to return to his position. As this was passed, grenades went off, and Curt rushed to Beta-Six's position. VISR mode revealed a cloaked figure clad in mjolnir, rapidly attacking Beta-Six. As Bennier shot off an EMP grenade, Dugan simply kicked this grenade away. As Curt scrambled towards the figure, it sent a punch in his direction, knocking Curt back. Grabbing Bennier's EMP grenade, Curt jumped onto Dugan's back as the rogue spartan was attacking squadmate Ling. Planting the grenade in the Mjolnir armour's fusion reactor, Curt was then knocked off by Dugan as the rogue Spartan flung him into a rock wall. Upon being asked if he had any last words, Curt responded with one: Boom. At that second, Bennier detonated the EMP grenade, sending several of Dugan's armour systems offline and disabling his energy shielding. Dugan was then relieved of his weapons at shotgun point.
== Enrolment in the SPARTAN-IV program ==
Spending time at his house on Vyrkan, Curt was enjoying a fish salad prepared by Res A'siin, who had rapidly became known as the town cook. As Curt was about to take another bite of this salad, he was rudely interrupted by a knock on the door. Upon answering it, the offender was discovered to be a tall man clad in black. Inviting him in, Curt was informed that he was a representative of the SPARTAN-IV program known simply as Jun. Revealing that due to Beta-Six's outstanding combat record, they had been selected for an opportunity to join the second generation of these super soldiers. The other members had already been approached by Jun, and all had accepted. Remembering his time with John-117 and Noble Six, Curt agreed, and the two departed Vyrkan.
After arriving at the station where they were scheduled to be augmented, Curt reunited with Bennier, who expressed interest in the upcoming surgical procedures. Shortly afterwards, the surgery began. The various treatments went well, aside from the skeletal lacing. This nearly killed Curt, but last minute intervention saved his life. Once the surgery was ended, Curt was eager to try out his new abilities, but was instead told to take it slow. Immediately after recovering from his injuries, he was sent into the brutal training theatre, and went up against automated shotguns, armoured marines, and simulated animals. Repeatedly being defeated by these enemies, Curt later learned how to use the few weapons that he was given to his best advantage, and managed to scrape through the challenge. Once passing, he was assigned Recruit class Mjolnir before later using the ODST variant. 
== SPARTAN career and created conflict ==
Reuniting with Beta-Six, Curt led the group throughout the insurrection and periods of conflict that followed the Human-Covenant war. Participating in the second battle for requiem, Beta-Six was later evacuated by the UNSC Infinity. However, the created conflict caught the group off guard. On the Infinity while it was stationed with the UNSC home defence fleet, Curt woke up to find the ship placed on high alert. Upon asking around, it was revealed that a rogue AI simply known as Cortana had taken over a large number of Promethean forces and was using them against any organisation that she perceived as a threat to her plans of imposing the forerunner mantle of responsibility. Before he could ask anything else, the Infinity made a slipspace jump away from the Sol system. Once this happened, the crew settled into a sort of life on the run. Approximately a week after the slip away from the Sol system, Curt was summoned to the bridge by Lasky, who informed him that Vyrkan was currently under attack from Created forces. Due to Curt's familiarity with the colony, he was to lead Beta-Six to repel the attack. Curt was informed that the Infinity could not stop long in order to drop them off, and so the chances of it retrieving them were quite minimal. Simply responding by saluting the captain, Curt then walked to the assemblage bay and donned his Mjolnir armour. Rendezvousing with Beta-Six on a pelican stocked with weapons to be used in the operation, the Infinity briefly dropped out of slipspace to deploy the dropship, and then left once more. Upon docking with the colony, it was revealed by the local security forces that the Prometheans were taking major populace centres, herding all of the civilians into the square of the first town that they had taken. Arming themselves and the police with the heavy weaponry in the pelican, Beta-Six assaulted the forerunner armigers, taking down several. As the civilians were kept in the large group, a large Created fleet showed up at the edge of the asteroid field that Vyrkan was located in. Upon being informed that the colony had a slipspace drive, which was the way that it was in it's current location, Curt sent Martha to access the control room, located in the government building in the city. As Martha typed in the escape vectors, the fleet drew nearer. Firing the engines to get clear of the asteroid field, the fleet noticed the escape attempt and opened fire. Most shots missed, but a small number hit the station. Just before a Guardian was about to take the station offline, Vyrkan slipped into slipspace, escaping. 
== Civilian life and family man ==
After spending a few weeks on the run, Beta-Six managed to remove their armour, and for the time being attempted to live as civilians. Curt reprogrammed a promethean crawler that was disabled during the earlier battle, and later married Martha. Knowing that they could spend years before UNSC retrieval, Curt simply spent the time growing crops, using his old Mjolnir armour as a scarecrow. Eventually, the pair conceived twins, who were born in Mid-2559. Finally finding peace, Curt did not let anything disrupt it, maintaining radio silence with the outside world. 
== Personality and Traits ==
Usually calm, Curt remembers every major betrayal against him. A known UNSC loyalist, he attempts to justify their actions, no matter how dubious. After nearly being infected by the flood, he gained minor PTSD, but usually ignores it, no longer considering the covenant the most terrifying thing in the universe. He has a tendency to mock his enemies, usually driving their desire to kill him. Curt has a slight protectiveness of small children, orphans in particular. He once had a hatred of many covenant client species, but armed a captured unngoy (due to the flood and the desperateness of the situation), and got along well with the skirmisher Res A'siin. Ultimately, he became a calmer man after settling into civilian life, doing many a thing to ensure that this calm remained. 
Curt stood 1.87 metres tall before augmentation, and twelve centimetres taller afterwards. He has fair features, brown-black hair, and is on the average of SPARTAN fitness. 
Weaponwise, Curt favours the M6G magnum, due to it's immense power and reliability. He prefers the BR55 Battle rifle to the M392 DMR, due to the fact that the rifle handles easier and has more power. He is somewhat fond of the MA5B assault rifle, and dislikes the MA37 because of its kick. On missions that require stealth, Curt wields the M6C/ SOCOM pistol, along with the M7S SMG. After joining SPARTAN ops, he commonly used the M6H2/Tactical variant, along with the BR85HB battle rifle. He has used the M739 SAW on multiple occasions, and is somewhat competent with the M6 Spartan Laser.
