By [[2552]], many of humanity's [[Inner Colonies]] have been destroyed by the Covenant. In a move of desperation, ONI Section 3 orders the execution of [[Operation: RED FLAG|a secret plan]] to capture a Covenant ship using the Spartans. The ship would be taken to the Covenant [[High Charity|home world]] in order to capture a [[San 'Shyuum|Prophet]], one of the aliens' religious leaders, and then use the Prophet as a bargaining chip to negotiate a truce. | By [[2552]], many of humanity's [[Inner Colonies]] have been destroyed by the Covenant.

To aid the Spartans in this mission, an AI, [[Cortana]], is created from Dr. Halsey's cloned brain. John is introduced to Cortana during a live-fire mission to test their capabilities working together, and they perform spectacularly. With Cortana's aid, John manages to overpower a full squad of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, pick his way through a minefield, destroy automated chain guns, and even evade an air strike from a [[SkyHawk|SkyHawk fighter]], all of which are using live rounds. These were authorized by [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], Dr. Halsey's main rival for NAVSPECWEP funding. In a move of revenge, Cortana arranges for a substantial amount of the Colonel's private funds to be sent to a brothel and forges a request to be reassigned to front line duty. | To aid the Spartans in this mission, an AI, [[Cortana]], is created from Dr. Halsey's cloned brain.
