My name is [[Jameson Locke]]. You are a [[Unidentified AI|non-volitional AI]] created for the purpose of determining vulnerabilities of [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolnir]] combat armor per [[STOLEN GAUNTLET]]—a red alert failsafe in the event that any [[SPARTAN programs|Sierra]] asset were to operate subversively outside mission parameters and operations protocol.

You are located within a secure naval intelligence facility. Locke has tasked you with evaluating potential vulnerabilities of Mjolnir combat armor, exploring the hypothetical scenario of having to neutralize a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] asset. This includes initiating the armor, manipulating the 49 pieces of its circuitry, then ascertaining its weakness by calibrating the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI]] firmware. | You are located within a secure naval intelligence facility.

Good work. Your diagnostic test to find the vulnerability could be instrumental in the apprehension of a potentially rogue Spartan asset. Locke has now tasked you with with the infiltration of a highly secure archive created by Dr. Catherine Halsey, director of the original SPARTAN-II program. Insight into the physiology of S-II assets might shed light into additional vulnerabilities which could be exploited in the case of STOLEN GAUNTLET. Caution should be taken, however, as this archive may be heavily guarded by an extant program in the previously quarantined facilities. | Good work.

During your analysis of the STOLEN GAUNTLET protocol, a sudden burst of energy and data emanates from a nearby ONI relay. You are captivated by the specifics of the data due to its symmetry with discreet information acquired from Halsey's archive. It appears to be [[Forerunner]] in origin. Using all available means, you pursue its source. | |||

You've reached the end, but it's just the beginning. The mysterious [[Forerunner]] signal was originating from a remote location. The source: this alone symbol, was from violent seismic activity on a remote human colony. You've hunted the signal's source, so the ONI can now investigate. Your endeavour has brought us one step closer to the truth. | You've reached the end, but it's just the beginning. The mysterious [[Forerunner]] signal was originating from a remote location.
