The issue opens with [[John-117]] onboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], which is currently passing [[Jupiter]]. He is contacted by a [[Io Station|UNSC facility]] on [[Io]], but stays silent and moves on, killing a group of four [[Unggoy|Grunts]], then a pair of [[Kig-yar|Jackals]], then another Grunt quartet. | |||

As this happens, the scene cuts to an interrogation of [[James Ackerson|Colonel James Ackerson]], captured by the Covenant aboard the [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]] ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]''. He is about to be killed in celebration of the defeat of Earth before he coaxingly states that if "''The Covenant attack Earth...they will never find the key.''" The [[Jiralhanae Captain|Brute Captain]] interrogating Ackerson is intrigued by this, and uses [[Jiralhanae combat knife|a large knife]] to lacerate Ackerson until he reveals more information. Ackerson states that this key, if not found, will force [[Halo Array|the Halos]] to malfunction "''like they did before''". He also said that it is hidden in the city of [[Cleveland]], and that it is called the [[Key of Osanalan]]. | As this happens, the scene cuts to an interrogation of [[James Ackerson|Colonel James Ackerson]], captured by the Covenant aboard the [[CCS-class Battlecruiser]] ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]''.

The Master Chief, in the meantime, finds himself faced by an extremely large force of Covenant troops, including at least three [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] pairs, who fire on him simultaneously. He is hit by several beams and falls to the floor. A [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] begins to crush him with his foot, saying that the Master Chief will tell them "''where the Key is...after they remove enough parts of his body''". | The Master Chief, in the meantime, finds himself faced by an extremely large force of Covenant troops, including at least three [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]] pairs, who fire on him simultaneously.

*Some of the [[door]]s inside the Forerunner Dreadnought appear very similar to the sort found in the level, [[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]], and another scene has a room similar to the one which contains a [[Seraph]] in the ''Halo 2'' level, [[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]]. | *Some of the [[door]]s inside the Forerunner Dreadnought appear very similar to the sort found in the level, [[343 Guilty Spark (level)|343 Guilty Spark]], and another scene has a room similar to the one which contains a [[Seraph]] in the ''Halo 2'' level, [[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]]. | ||
*In the comic, it shows Master Chief being hit by Fuel Rod Guns from Hunters. Seeing as how possibly 6 beams hit him, it is ''highly'' unlikely that he would have survived. In previous ''Halo'' novels, a Spartan (without shielding) got their arm blown off by a Fuel Rod Gun from a Hunter. If six beams hit the Chief, then it should have killed him, despite the fact that he had shields. | *In the comic, it shows Master Chief being hit by Fuel Rod Guns from Hunters.
