Halo: The Cole Protocol: Difference between revisions

==Plot synopsis==

The book opens with an attack by Kig-Yar in [[the Rubble]], an [[Insurrectionist]] asteroid base which was constructed as a refugee base during the Siege of Madrigal. The Jackals are attempting to steal navigation data from [[Ignatio Delgado]] and his friend [[Melko Hollister]]. The Jackals want the data because it would lead the Covenant to humanity's home world, [[Earth]]. Melko manages to escape the fighting at Delgado's insistence that the last remaining navigation data leading to [[Earth]] must be kept safe. Unfortunately, Melko is shot and later dies of his wounds.

Lieutenant Keyes returns and meets with [[Admiral]] [[Preston Jeremiah Cole|Preston Cole]], and expects to receive a court-martial for his actions but instead is congratulated and thanked by Admiral Cole then promotes Keyes to [[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]]. Commander Keyes leaves and the Spartans enter; during the battle the ''Petya'' was abandoned, and they are looking for a new [[UNSC prowler|Prowler]]. Cole grants them the ship and gives them new orders, describing them as more dangerous than ever, to the satisfaction of Gray Team. Delgado enlists in the [[UNSC Navy]]. Soon after, Keyes returns to his apartment and his daughter, [[Miranda Keyes|Miranda]].
