Blake (Earth-5875)

Private Blake was a specialized Auton synthetic of the UNSC Marine Corps. October 3rd, 2558, she and a squad of seven were sent by the UNSC Navy to acquire an important Enclave asset in the Enclave world Zealous Pertinence. However, the mission became a failure after their ship, the UNSC Mandela, was invaded by a kig-yar pirate faction, and were dispatched on the colony unprotected.

Operation HOMEWORLD
A specialized Auton synthetic, Blake was selected to be incorporated into the UNSC Marine squad, led by Sergeant Sergei Wilks, in order to participate into the top-secret Operation HOMEWORLD, a mission devised by the Office of Naval Intelligence which sought to study and dismantle further operations taken by Jul 'Mdama's biggest Enclave operatives. Aboard the Strident-class heavy frigate UNSC Mandela, Blake spent several martial arts training sessions alongside Wilks, observing as the experienced Marine easily defeated Lance Corporal Mitch Bueller and Corporal Tamara Easley in combat. After the session, Blake was asked by Easley if she was understanding the feedback of the Sergeant, to which she replied that the duo "looked like dung birds" while fighting.

Hostage
Two days after the start of the operation, Blake and the rest of the crew were awakened as the ship just landed from slipspace, one day before their final destination. As the bridge investigated the cause of the disruption, Blake played poker with Bueller and other Marines. She asked if Easley wanted to play, to which she replied negatively as she was in patrol.

During the investigation, the ship's engines were deactivated, prompting the Marines and Navy crewman to draw their weapons. As they went ahead in the ship, they discovered their weapons had been sabotaged. Despite Sergei ordering Marines to reach the loading bay and drop their vehicles, they were ambushed by a crew of forty kig-yar pirates, who surrendered the humans and took the Mandela, while leaving them, disarmed, within a Class-3 Bumblebee to crash-land on the nearby planet Zealous Pertinence.

Rescue mission
Upon the survivors landing on the planet, they discovered that the world was an abandoned Covenant colony, having been evacuated centuries in the past because of a local xenomorph outbreak that destroyed most of the planet's life. Lately for them, majority of the survivors were captured and used as incubators for Chestbusters by xenomorph Aggressor, including Wilks. Blake and Bueller ventured into the nearby massive hive in order to rescue the survivors, but were attacked by a group of unknown flying animals, which killed one of the Marines. Blake rushed to his body, taking his M6 Spartan Laser and killing the creatures.
