'''[[Benjamin Giraud]]''' (voiceover): There's a story you tell yourself when the world blows up in your face. There's no way you could have seen it coming. No one could have, so there was no way to stop it. This is what lets you sleep at night. But go back in your mind to before it all happened. Replay it in your head, except this time, maybe you'll see it: something small, out of place. Maybe it's just a single thread, but it's the truth. Nobody saw it coming when they arrived, an alien race known as the [[Covenant]]. Before [[2552]], there was no way anything like that could ever happen on Earth. On one of those distant planets in the [[Outer Colonies]], maybe. But an attack on [[Earth]]? Couldn't happen, [[Battle of Earth|until it did]]. It's called [[glassing]].

[[Covenant Navy|Covenant warships]] [[energy projector|rain]] [[plasma]] down on a planet until everything and everyone on the surface melts. Usually it's complete world destruction. Earth only got a taste. The prolonged orbital bombardment destroyed [[Africa|East Africa]], killing millions before it ended. None of us were safe anymore. But something else happened that day, too. Or someone. You've heard the eyewitness accounts, every skeptic has seen the footage, I was there, and yet still to this day it's unbelievable. A massive man in [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|green armor]] appeared, seemingly out of nowhere in [[New Mombasa]], performed [[SPARTAN-II augmentation procedures|superhuman feats]] to singlehandedly repel a [[Battle of Earth|global invasion]], and then [[Battle of Installation 00#Aftermath|disappeared]]. This was the [[John-117|Master Chief]]. The [[Unified Earth Government]]'s military body, the [[UNSC]], eventually released a statement: who he is, where he came from, and that he's continuing to keep us safe. And that was that. But, who is the Master Chief? Where did he come from? Is he continuing to keep us safe? I'm Benjamin Giraud, and this is '''''Hunt the Truth'''''. For all us cosmopolitan Earth types who don't venture into the far reaches of space, there's a planet way out in the Outer Colonies called [[Eridanus II]]. If you're thinking of visiting, don't bother. It was catastrophically glassed in a Covenant attack in [[2530]]. But 19 years before it got wiped out, our hero, Master Chief Petty Officer John-117, then known as John, was born in a metropolis called [[Elysium City]]. That's where I started. | ||
