Short Summary

Ruwan explains to the soldiers how his brother, Colonel James Ackerson, and him made up the Key of Osanalan that the Covenant have been searching for when they were boys.

The UNSC come up with a covert operation to bring the Key to Covenant command. The Key will be tracked as to locate the whereabouts of top Covenant leaders, and thus stage a significant assault on the Covenant. Ruwan insists that he be the one to deliver the Key to the Covenant, by himself. When the Covenant picks him up, he declares the Key of Osanalan is, in fact, himself. The ploy works, and Ruwan is taken to the Minister of Inquisition. Ruwan is still being tracked by the UNSC, and they use his position to target and destroy the Covenant ship he is on.

Meanwhile, Master Chief has fights his way out of the Forerunner ship and returns to Earth. His drop can be seen in the opening cutscene of Halo 3.
