''The Babysitter'' is focused around an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] squad aboard [[Unnamed Destroyer (The Babysitter)|Destroyer DD-993]], who are sent on a mission to investigate alien ruins and eliminate a [[Covenant]] [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]] on an [[Unnamed Planet (The Babysitter)|unidentified planet]] in a Covenant-held sector of space.
''The Babysitter'' is focused around an [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODST]] squad aboard [[Unnamed Destroyer (The Babysitter)|Destroyer DD-993]], who are sent on a mission to investigate alien ruins and eliminate a [[Covenant]] [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]] on an [[Unnamed Planet (The Babysitter)|unidentified planet]] in a Covenant-held sector of space.


The story opens with ODSTs [[O'Brian (The Babysitter)|O'Brian]], [[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]], and [[Checkman]] discussing their upcoming mission (with a [[Berger|Marine]] trying to eavesdrop on them); O'Brian, the squad's sniper, is upset that he's being replaced as the marksman on this mission. When [[Cortez]], the squad's sergeant, sits down to join them, he brings news to the table that upsets the squad, especially O'Brian: the sniper replacing him is a [[SPARTAN-II]], and he's the backup.
The story opens with O on the planet in close proximity to each other; Cal, Dutch, and Cortez land in a forest, and O'Brian lands in a swamp, after hitting a cliff and breaking his oxygen tank in the process. Dutch and Cortez go to get gear to retrieve O'Brian, but stop when Cal simply walks into the swamp, unphased by the thick mud, and lifts the drop pod out of the mud, throwing it to the side. Dutch tells O'Brian that Cal singlehandedly saved him from certain death, and his contempt for the SPARTAN grows.
 
Shortly after, the squad meets SPARTAN [[Cal-141]], and Cortez briefs them on the mission: they are to drop into this planet under the cover of a meteor shower and eliminate a Prophet to gain a tactical advantage in this sector; the Prophet's death will break up the supply chain to other planets. In addition, alien ruins were found on this planet that predate both [[human]] and Covenant architecture; they need to take photographs of the ruins.
 
The squad enters the asteroid ring surrounding the planet in their [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pods]], losing Checkman in the process; his pod bumps into an asteroid which knocks him off course, sending him plummeting into the planet the wrong way. The other four pods land on the planet in close proximity to each other; Cal, Dutch, and Cortez land in a forest, and O'Brian lands in a swamp, after hitting a cliff and breaking his oxygen tank in the process. Dutch and Cortez go to get gear to retrieve O'Brian, but stop when Cal simply walks into the swamp, unphased by the thick mud, and lifts the drop pod out of the mud, throwing it to the side. Dutch tells O'Brian that Cal singlehandedly saved him from certain death, and his contempt for the SPARTAN grows.


The squad plots out the mission from there; the Prophet will be landing at a logistics site north of their landing zone, and they need to get there before it does to set up for the shot, but before they can do that, they need to photograph the ruins on the way.
