Hall Dowski (Earth-5875)

"I submit that we've done all we could reasonably be expected to do, that the longer we delay the harsher the Covenant will be. It makes sense to surrender now."

- - Ensign Hall Dowski

Ensign Hall Dowski was a junior officer of the UNSC Navy and a crew member of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn under Captain Jacob Keyes.

Biography
By 2552, Ensign Hall Dowski was attached to the UNSC Iroquois under the command of then-Commander Jacob Keyes. During the pivotal Battle of Sigma Octanus IV, Dowski proved to be a very capable and competent operations officer, and her performance became one of the reasons she was transferred to the UNSC Pillar of Autumn alongside the recently promoted Captain Keyes. After the Autumn retrieved Cortana during the Fall of Reach and jumped to slipspace, she was involved in the Battle of Installation 04.

When the command crew of the Autumn crashed-landed on Installation 04 aboard a Class-3 Bumblebee, she became paranoid with the Covenant's slaughtering of the crew and attempted to convince the rest of them to surrender to the Covenant. Upon hearing this, Lieutenant Viktor Singh threatened to kill her, while Keyes became worried her paranoia would pass to other Marines. They then tied Dowski after she contined to insist on her plan so that the Covenant could find her and she could "surrender".

After being found and captured by a lance of sangheili and unggoy soldiers, she betrayed her crew by identifying her commanding officer and all of them could be taken prisoner so she would be proven right. However, the Covenant systematically slaughtered everyone on the crew, including Dowski, and leaving only Keyes alive.
