"Akula"
Status: M.I.A.
Last Official Sighting: New Alexandria, Reach
Interview with squadmate PFC. Jenkins on board the pillar of autumn after the battle for reach:
?: When was the last time you spoke to "Akula"?
J: Um it was before the attack on the city of New Alexandria, Sarge said that the Army needed some guys to help out with evacuating the city. Which I thought was odd since the attacks hadn't happened at the time. Sarge asked "Akula" and a couple of other guys including "Quick" to go and assist the army guys.
?: Then what happened?
J: Our squad always kept radio contact so we gave "quick" a long range radio. We said good luck to "Akula" and the others, and they moved out. A few hours later "Quick" checks in, just confirming they'd arrived in the city and linked up with some army guys.
?: What did the rest of your squad on board the pillar of autumn do while "Akula" and the others were in the city?
J: We continued with our day-to-day routines, carried out checks on our equipment. But we always had one guy stay by the radio to monitor the other team. Then a few hours after "Quick" had checked in, We were orderd to prepare defensive positions in the shipyards. One guy carried the radio to the location we'd been orderd to fortify, immediately after we arrived at the location "quick" is on the radio, there's gunfire in the background, "quick" said that the city was under attack by the covenant, and that the squad was holding their own but several of the army guys were either K.I.A. or W.I.A.
?: How did your team back in the shipyards respond?
J: We tried to get the captain to let us go and reinforce them, but the captain wouldn't allow it, said that they'd be out of danger by the time we got there. We set about reinforcing our current position, as ordered. Some of us weren't happy with the situation but we had to keep our cool, last thing we wanted was for some of us to be shot for desertion.
?: What happened next?
J: "Quick" got back on the radio, said they were falling back, they lost a few men. About an hour later he came back over the radio saying that he was on a bird out of the city with a couple of wounded squad members, he also said "Akula" had stayed behind to help keep the LZ open. Few days later these two Spartans show up and one had been in the city during the battle, he'd picked up "Akula's" Rifle, he handed it over to sarge and said that there was no body or tags near it.

Jenkins battle log:
Halo Day 01: "we had to evacuate the ship, covies were waiting for us, we landed on some mysterious ring"
Day 02: "cortana ships AI says this ring is called a Halo" -few hours later- "we got into a firefight with covies today, Mendoza and I are certain we also saw "Akula" sarge says it was just a vision due to stress and fatigue. But we know what we saw"
Day 03: "We were ordered to link up with the captain at the location of some weapon cache a spec ops elite gave up, I dont trust him, I think this could be a trap" - hours later - "We saw "Akula" again this time everyone saw him, he didn't respond to us though, his armor was different too, wait a minute why was I being interviewed back on the autumn after reach? And why were they interested in "Akula"?
