*'''Comms Officer''': ''"In [[2552]], the [[John-117|Master Chief]] and [[Cortana]] found themselves on an ancient alien world, far beyond the edge of our [[Milky Way|galaxy]]. Known by the [[Forerunner]]s as [[Installation 00|the Ark]], this incredible construct served as the birthplace for the [[Halo Array|Halo ringworlds]], as well as the setting for [[Human|humanity]]'s [[Battle of Installation 00|climatic battle]] with the [[Covenant]]. With the help of allied alien force, led by [[Thel 'Vadam|the Arbiter]], Master Chief, Cortana, and the UNSC mounted an epic assault across the Ark and onto a newly forged Halo built in its great foundry. Known as [[Installation 08]], this ring was intended to replace the destroyed [[Installation 04|Alpha Halo]], but the Master Chief had more immediate plans for the enigmatic weapon. By activating the unfinished ring over the surface of the Ark, the Master Chief succeeded in crippling the [[Flood]] — a powerful alien parasite that was poised to become a threat even greater than the Covenant."''

*'''Comms Officer''': ''"Through the blast successfully neutralized the immediate danger, Installation 08 tore itself apart, damaging sections of the Ark's inmense superstructure and terraformed surface in the process. The Master Chief and Cortana narrowly escaped the blast themselves, and the ensuing destruction left them stranded on the remains of a badly damaged [[UNSC frigate]] called the ''[[UNSC Forward Unto Dawn|Forward Unto Dawn]]''. Adrift in deep space, the Master Chief placed himself in [[Cryonics|cryogenic]] [[Cryo chamber|storage]] in hopes to survive long enough to be found."''

*'''Comms Officer''': ''"The events at the Ark represented a historic, almost unimaginable victory for the UNSC, but at great cost, as some of their greatest heroes gave their lives to secure it. In the years that followed, humanity began to rebuilt. Leveraging both new alliances and new technologies, the period followign the Covenant War saw advancements not just in technology and knowledge, but in diplomacy and preparation, as Humanity vowed to secure a position of strength in the galaxyy, and ready itself for any threat the future held. But that readiness was tested quickly — and in [[2557]], after four years adrift, the UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'' was pulled into the gravity well of a mysterious Forerunner [[Shield world|shield world]] called [[Requiem]]. Yet again, we were to be confronted with just how dangerous this galaxy's secrets can be..."''
