First off, yes I know there's other threads, but if I post this on the "OMGOSH GUYZ!!11! Dare is eeeeevil" threads it probably wont get noticed.
(And I prefer calling her Veronica to Dare)

As far as most people on this forum, inclding myself know, Veronica is an ONI spook, if this is the case she could just of been using special ONI gear to predict the slip-space jump that the covenant was about to initiate, and she could of re-directed the ODSTs away to avoid death from the slip-space rupture. I don't think she's evil, but that's always another theory.

Check out the group, Planet Reach and talk about Bungie's next game without the annoyance of the public forum. Oh and it's nice there too.

You thought you had lag, it took Jesus 3 days to re-spawn.

It is what Buck calls her in the opening cut scene. So we assume it is her real name.

There was a video I found of Jason Staten talking about campaign in a different vid to the one where he shows off the pistol where he starts up the campaign and shows the bit just before they jump, Dare comes in with her helmet off and one of the ODSTs calls her Veronica, I dont know where the link is, should be somewhere on here.

I think she re-routed them onto her own mission. Initially the ODST's think they're supposed to be heading for the covenant ship. She tells them to change course but no one hears her. Someone screams they are going off course and she says they are going right where she needs them to go.

She has some underlying mission that we don't know about. A mission from ONI that she needed this group of ODST's for.

It also seems like her and Buck have some history.

@Deidg nactal
Make a real post, I spealt one word wrong, get over yourself.
If all your gonna do is act as though you're the grammer police then get out my thread.

@Another One
Both theories are believeable, but admittedly yours does sound more convincing, ONI does hav a habit of making secret missions without informing their troops. (I read some of the books)

Well her Service Tag is Dare.V.500341[S1]. Sense Buck brings up her name in the trailer; the V most stand Veronica. This could also mean her full name is Veronica Dare.

I'll bring the tritium laser cutters if you bring the beer!

Funny story.

Actually I think she looked pretty surprised when she saw the ship leaving, I think she knew it could be dangerous but didn't know the covenant would do it.

I don't think she's evil, it's quite obvious she just used her ONI power to redirect the team out of their initial mission, to make them go out to the Alpha ONI building, probably to go collect classified information.

You're probably thinking "Why go secure information, when the earth, the last human world is being invaded", well I don't know, but it seems ONI thought it was important.

Anyway this is just my guess, this is probably why Buck was angry, because she was taking control of his squad and changing their mission.

I personally don't think she's evil, her ONI mission might be more important than the lives of few ODST but I don't see her intentionally betraying them.

ok the vid that i watched of the opening cutscene had horendous sound so i guess i didn't hear it

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Veronica is a mysterios character, indeed. Howver, cast your minds back a few months when Bungie was talking about the "enemy" in ODST.
They said it was a female but the Rookie doesn't meet her...

this 'other mission' was planned before hand, as from the random readings in the updates, she wanted her own squad to go to the ground. also buck takes the shotgun from Romeo and hands him the sniper rifle knowing they aren't landing on the ship but the rest of the team don't know this yet 'how am i supposed to use this INSIDE the covenant cruiser?' was Romeo's response.

Good day. I'm an active and fairly enthusiastic member of the Bungie fan-base and pride myself on many qualities. If you want to send me a PM, go right ahead. No I won't spam your inbox with group invites, I will respond in the best way possible. Thank you, and as I had opened, I'll close - good day.

"could have" not "could of"

though a good theory by the way

Being a leader comes with a reasonable price. You're expected to Lead those around you to victory, bring them home safely, or, as in most cases, a combination of the two. You must be fearless, yet cautious, and must always keep a level head even in the most dangerous of situations. Name's War. Welcome to the team.
