Lovic

"Sir, thank god you're here. We’ve been lost out here for hours. After we lost contact we headed for the RV point when these, these…these ‘‘things’’!…they ambushed us. We’ve gotta get out of here, sir…"

- A frightened and confused Corporal Lovic reports to the Master Chief

Corporal Lovic was a Marine NCO in the UNSC, and had been picked by Sergeant Johnson to lead the second squad on a search for a weapons cache, that turned out to be a Flood Containment chamber.

"Sarge! Captain! Can you hear me? We’ve got contact! Lots of them! They’re not Covenant! They’re just tearing through us! What?!!…no!!!"

- Corporal Lovic’s distress call to Sergeant Johnson

Lovic and his men had then been attacked by a group of Flood, and took refuge in a structure. Based on his transmission to Johnson, it was likely he had been attacked by an Infection Form, and had either torn it off, or another Marine helped him. They were occasionally joined by a few escaped survivors of the first squad, including Private Bisenti.

When the Chief arrived at their position, Lovic and his squad followed him to a large tower where Foehammer was extracting them. Fighting through waves of Flood, it is unknown whether Lovic was turned into a Combat Form, or was picked up by Echo 419, but it is assumed he died when the Chief destroyed the ‘‘Pillar of Autumn’’’s fusion reactors.
