Charlie Company goes to retrieve the NOVA bomb, and their commanding officer would probably be nicknamed NOVA-1 due to his mission.
They were repurposed to defend the generators after HIGHCOM noticed Covenant massing to take them over. All of them were killed, save 4, and NOVA-1 was dead.
HIGHCOM may have been asking for NOVA-1, but got no response since he was dead. The Spartans arrived at the generators to meet the marines, they went inside, and Fred began talking with Whitcomb about rescuing him.
While Fred was busy talking, Spartan-259 could have answered the man in the trailer: This is Sierra-259. You've got Spartans on the ground, sir. We're not going anywhere." to calm him down since NOVA-1 and his company were slaughtered at the generators.
This would be from the novel FIRST STRIKE; the beginning few chapters pick up where TFoR leaves off (we don't witness Reach's fall in TFoR, it falls about 30 mins after the PoA leaves, when the novel ends). S-259 is probably a member of Team Beta, since he would not have been with Team Alpha (Fred, Kelly, Joshua), Team Gamma (Grace, Anton, Li), or Team Delta (they were virtually crippled from their fall to the surface, and were only healed within CASTLE base by Halsey... and S-259 wasn't in CASTLE base).
