However, the Superintendent is rather limited in terms of communication, only able to interact with the Rookie by manipulating municipal electronic signs (for example, lighting up a sign to read 'keep right' to guide the Rookie in that direction) and speaking through a number of pre-recorded phrases. The Superintendent serves as a guide to the Rookie during the campaign, in a similar manner to the way Cortana guided the Master Chief. With all data transferred out, the Superintendent's computer core immediately shut down. Quick, now essentially carrying the memories and personality of Vergil, and in effect the Superintendent itself, then disconnected from the core. Įventually, the Rookie, along with Captain Dare, managed to reach the data core, where they discovered the Huragok Quick to Adjust, which had transferred the data of the Superintendent's Vergil subroutine to itself. In the following night, the construct aided the ODST known as " the Rookie" in evading Covenant foot patrols in the rubble of the city by giving him access to a map of the city, as well as activating lights and signs leading him to safety. Later that day, the Superintendent aided both UNSC Marine and NMPD forces remaining in the city in fighting off the recently arrived Covenant occupation force. Sadie and Mike Branley managed to "force" the duty officer to turn the Superintendent back on however. The duty officer at NMPD headquarters refused to reactivate the AI, even when ordered to do so by Dare. Frustrated, Kinsler had the whole AI shut down despite the fact that without the Superintendent, the city's evacuation would grind to a halt. With the troopers scattered about the city by the Slipspace shockwave, Dare was separated from the ODSTs and holed up in a nearby building where she attempted to find a way of getting the AI to safety by herself.ĭuring the day, the Superintendent's Vergil subroutine routinely helped Sadie Endesha get out of dangerous situations, including ambushes by corrupt police Commissioner Kinsler. This is when Captain Dare was dispatched on a secret mission with a team of ODSTs, which involved the retrieval of the Superintendent - though her squad was unaware of this objective. Some time later, when the Solemn Penance initiated a slipspace transition over the city, the resulting shockwave severely damaged, as well partially disabled the Superintendent. The Superintendent only replied with its pre-recorded phrases. The COMM officer then told the AI they would send a team to retrieve the construct's data, and ordered the Superintendent to redirect all comm traffic through her. The Superintendent was then asked to upload its logs for the last twenty-four hours, for which the AI only replied with repeating the phrase "KEEP IT CLEAN". The officer contacted the AI, asking it to put Kinsler on the line, but it did not comply. Soon, a report of data corruption was received by a communications officer aboard the prowler UNSC Tokyo Rules.

Driven by its innate fascination with all machines, it started to repair the Superintendent's data core, which had been damaged in the attack. Soon after the Covenant invasion, a defected Huragok known as Quick to Adjust made its way into the Superintendent's data center. During the Covenant invasion on October 20, 2552, the Superintendent declared a "Metropolitan Emergency" on the city of New Mombasa.

Just before Earth came under attack by the Covenant, the Superintendent was performing a routine seismic scan when it picked up a seismic anomaly, which would prove to make the Superintendent's data on the anomaly a priority target for Covenant Jiralhanae forces and Captain Veronica Dare's ODST squad. The Superintendent's core under New Mombasa. The Superintendent had a subroutine called Vergil, originally created by Doctor Daniel Endesha to look after his daughter, Sadie Endesha. The Superintendent's data center was located deep below the city, with its main core residing under a shaft connected to ONI Alpha Site on the surface. It was also apparently used by the NMPD to observe people and record their conversations through its cameras and other equipment. It was one of six similar Superintendent AIs on Earth.
