On the same day the audio drama started, a bullet trailer was released. The trailer had a bullet shot out of an [[SRS99-S5 AM sniper rifle]] that rotated with several words on it finally ending up shot through the Master Chief's visor. On the Hunt the Truth Blog you can slow down the trailer to see clearly the words on the bullet and with each turn it reads: ''SON, ABDUCTEE, VICTIM, ORPHAN, RECRUIT, SOLDIER, WARRIOR, ALLY, HERO, SAVIOR, TRAITOR''. An image of this is shown in the gallery below. | On the same day the audio drama started, a bullet trailer was released.
