Captain Firefox

Captain Firefox prior to the destruction of the Liberty.

Captain Firefox is the main protagonist in The Odyssey.

## Personality

Firefox is a thinker, though he also knows when to act quickly. He is a learned leader, he prefers to work alone or with someone close to him, but still competent in command scenarios. A quirk presumably gained from his time as a pilot in the colonial wars.

## Early life

Not much is known about Captain Firefox's early life, other than he apparently grow up in Texas with his brother, Firedamned ,and that he served as a fighter pilot against the Dual Nation Coalition in the Colonial Wars.

## Aboard the Liberty

In Season 1 of the Odyssey Cpt. Firefox is captaining the new cruiser Liberty sent out on its maiden voyage to investigate the disappearance of colony ships in a region of space designated the Gamma Sector. Prior to the mission, he records an audio log expressing his frustration about the mission and High Command's decision to send the Liberty on its own. Despite these pleas for a different course of action they are ignored and he is sent on the mission anyway with an experimental AI and a new crew. On the bridge Cpt. Firefox shows signs of concern that there are only three crew members on the bridge. The AI reassures him that it could run the ship electronically without any crew on board if necessary. Before the launch he opens a ship-wide comm-channel and delivers a well received motivational message for the crew. The AI directly says that it detects cheering on several decks. The Liberty enters Jump Space towards the Gamma Sector. When the Liberty gets to it's destination, they find the two colony vessels destroyed and shot into bits of debris. Cpt. Firefox orders for the Liberty to be set on a course back to Earth suspicious of the lack of enemy vessels in sensor range. Navigation says that they can enter Jump Space in five minutes, so while they deploy two shuttles to investigate the debris in the meanwhile. Suddenly two unidentified ships jump out of Jump Space and begin firing weapons. In retaliation the Liberty begins firing at both ships. The Liberty begins to accelerate away to escape, but the enemy ships target the Liberty quickly and cause significant damage to multiple decks. Finally the Liberty jumps out. When they exit Jump Space they realize they are in a dense asteroid belt. Navigation informs Firefox that controls aren't responding. Firefox gives the order to evacuate, and tells Cmdr. Nelson to bring the sensor data to the fleet when he returns to Sol. Before the escape ships containing a copy of the sensor data can get away; they are shot to pieces by the unknown vessels which seemed to have followed them somehow. A few minutes later the Liberty hits an asteroid, luckily Cpt. Firefox had entered a cryopod by the recommendation of the A.I to mask his bio-signs and thus had minimized damage to himself during the crash. "(SEA1 Betrayal)"

A few hours later the AI awakens him and informs him that it has managed to put out the fires and has cautiously been reactivating ship systems. Cpt. Firefox begins salvaging ship systems and begins building a small vessel which he later names the "Orca". During the construction of the Orca Firefox and the newly named AI or A.L.I.E. discuss the situation. A.L.I.E. points out that the ships that attacked them look like the old Dual Nation Coalition ships back in the Colonial Wars. Firefox agrees and is disturbed by the possibility of their advent with Earth unguarded. A.L.I.E. also points out that they may have a more advanced type of Jump Drive because the Liberty's scanners never detected the ships before they arrived. Firefox finally leaves the area and begins drifting to find a suitable location to set up a base. "(SEA1 First Steps)"

## At the asteroid base

The next day Firefox wakes up with news that there are anomalies drifting by the edge of the system. They are coming in and out of sensor range and they do not appear to be recognizable as ships. Firefox later decides to go to a nearby asteroid and to begin building a base and later a small fighter later be named "Firefox". "(SEA1 Foundations)"

After significant improvements on the asteroid base including the installation of an antenna and sensor system. A.L.I.E. detects an unarmed DNC cargo vessel and suggests that they should raid it. The plan is set in motion and Firefox takes the Firefox out to attack. The attack is successful and after a firefight on board he locates a room housing what appears to be an experimental energy shield; to erase information and evidence he blows the ship up with several well placed warheads. "(SEA1 Contact!)"

Upon the return to the base the construction of a large exploration vessel called the Vengeance begins at the asteroid base. Construction is complete when A.L.I.E. detects a signal from an incoming DNC fleet. "(SEA1 Building Vengeance)"

Firefox begins to retreat through the base to the Vengeance. While this happens A.L.I.E. remotely scrambles the Firefox and the other fighters to distract the DNC from attacking the base. While Firefox successfully escapes from the asteroid base using the Jump Drive on the Vengeance, the Jump Drive malfunctions and he ends up crashing on a planet later named Utopia. "(SEA1 Setback!)"

## On Utopia

After a week on Utopia, Firefox has managed to build a sizable base from parts of the Vengeance and local resources. During a nap, A.L.I.E. wakes him up saying she has received a transmission by its creator, Dr. Keen. During the conversation between Firefox and Keen, he sends him weapons blueprints and information that A.L.I.E. is being blamed for the destruction of the Liberty. After the transmission Firefox begins upgrading the weapons on Utopia Base. "(SEA1 Utopia)"

Sometime after this, the guns are completed and the Captain begins work on a shield generator. After finishing the shield generator and several other modifications to the base, he builds a jet. More modifications to the base and the Jet has a successful test run. "(SEA1 Preperations)"

## The Siege of Utopia

While flying his jet, Captain is recalled to the base by A.L.I.E.. A.L.I.E. informs him that DNC ships have entered the system. He heads back to the base and A.L.I.E. informs him that the DNC are deploying 2 drone deployment vehicles. Captain orders the new weapons to be activated. They manage to repel the first wave of drones but the weapons are incredibly damaged, so Captain has to take out the jet to attack the next wave. After a long dogfight, he manages to destroy the ships but not before the walls and the weapons have taken significant damage. "(SEA1 Utopia Under Fire!)"

DNC Ships in orbit begin the siege on the ground, focusing fire on the mountain. Captain attempts to salvage something to go underground with him but he can't think of what to bring, even contemplating using the jet to escape until A.L.I.E. tells him to stop. It tells him to go sit down and relax, and it says and old friend will fill him in. Captain sits down on a chair in front of his computer screen when Commander Nelson comes on the screen and says that he survived. Captain asks how, and he says that he will fill him in after the battle. The three ships in orbit appear to have "UNSC" markings. After a long battle, the new ships come out on top, and Firefox has a sigh of relief as a with Commander Nelson aboard comes down. "(SEA1 The Siege)"
