Locust War[]
Marcus Fenix went to The Rusty Nail two days after returning from a mission, where he lost squadmate Gil Gonzalez in battle. Anya Stroud met him here and told him she was sorry about Gonzalezs death. When two tough guys hit on Anya but wouldn't go away, Anya hit one while Marcus stopped the other one from hitting her, and convinced him to leave. When the first guy discovered who Marcus was, he quickly decided to leave them alone. Lt.Draper was also seen drinking at the bar shortly before this fight.[1]
