Synopsis
The first issue opens with a meeting between SPARTAN-II washout Musa and several admirals in January 2553, discussing the importance of the SPARTAN-IIs during the war and its moral implications. Musa argues that despite the defeat of the Covenant, their remnants, as well as resurgent human rebels, still pose a major threat and reveals that he has initiated a new generation of Spartans to combat them. The story then goes three months back, to October 2552, with a group of ODSTs led by Sarah Palmer being deployed into combat.
