== | ==Official summary== | ||
{{Article quote|Here it is—the blistering conclusion to HALO: UPRISING the story that connects the video games: Halo 2 and Halo 3. Find out where Master Chief has been and where he is going, before you pick up an Xbox 360 controller and finish the fight. Meanwhile, Earth is under siege—the human resistance is faced with impossible odds with no hope in sight against the overwhelming Covenant forces. Be there to see the event that may turn the tide of the entire war. From the creative collaboration of the Eisner Award-winning creative team of Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev (New Avengers, Daredevil) comes the final issue of this explosive interstellar epic arc!}} | |||
== | ==Plot synopsis== | ||
The story starts off in the [[Cleveland]] sewers with the hotel concierge [[Ruwan Ackerson|Ruwan]], [[Myras Tyla]], and a squad of [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]]. They eventually end up in a secret underground [[Military base|UNSC base]]. Ruwan explains to the marines how he and his brother, [[Colonel]] [[James Ackerson]], made up the [[Key of Osanalan]] when they were boys. | |||
The UNSC come up with a covert operation to bring the Key to Covenant command. The Key is to act as a tracking device 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]] on the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Harbinger of Piety]]''. Ruwan is still being tracked by the UNSC using a chemical tracking compound referred to as [[Tykos 30]], allowing the [[Orbital defense platform|MAC platform]] ''[[Nassau Station]]'' to lock onto his position and fire, destroying the Covenant ship he is on. | |||
Meanwhile, [[John-117]], having failed in his attempt to take control of the [[Anodyne Spirit|Forerunner Dreadnought]]'s trajectory, fights his way out of the Forerunner ship's airlock in another commandeered [[Karo'etba-pattern Ghost|Ghost]]. On the surface of the Dreadnought, he is informed that the command ship holding the "key" is to be destroyed, and that he will be within the radius of the blast unless he takes immediate evasive maneuvers. He moves to another part of the Forerunner ship to avoid being caught in the blast's wake. The Master Chief is then ordered to find a way to return to Earth quickly. His subsequent drop can be seen in the opening cutscene of ''[[Halo 3]]''. | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*While communicating with the UNSC, the Master Chief states that he is in low Earth orbit. However, at the top of the very same panel its stated that the Covenant fleet is in high Earth orbit. He also states that he has secured the ship's bridge, but is then ordered to proceed to the bridge. | |||
