In the first idea, the DLC would see the Chieftain returning to ''[[High Charity]]'', in a scene similar to [[The Heretic]] cutscene of ''[[Halo 2]]''. The Chieftain is questioned by the [[Hierarchs]] about his failures and survival at [[Trove]], and is tasked with restoring his honour. The Chieftain is then dispatched to an [[Unggoy]] colony world which is on the verge of an uprising, where a human ship has been seen. The Chieftain puts down the uprising, and learns from the Grunts that the human ship was spotted nearby a mining outpost operated by pirates and mercenaries. The scene ends with the reveal that the ship is {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, ending with the same shot as the post-credit scene in the main game.{{Ref/Reuse|TwitterDLC1}} | In the first idea, the DLC would see the Chieftain returning to ''[[High Charity]]'', in a scene similar to [[The Heretic]] cutscene of ''[[Halo 2]]''.
