Two Marines take shelter in a forest on an unknown planet, surrounded by their dead comrades. The female Marine asks her Sergeant about his codename, [[Ghost (Marine)|''"Ghost"'']], while he dispassionately treats her wounds. With her dying words, she asks him, for once in his life, to ''"be human"''. | Two Marines take shelter in a forest on an unknown planet, surrounded by their dead comrades.

Three years later, the planet [[Algolis]] is under attack by the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]. The Marines defending UNSC Weapons Research Facility T12A are taking heavy casualties fighting Covenant air and ground forces, trying to buy time for the remaining civilians to evacuate. However, the Hades Corps of UNSC Engineers refuses to retreat until they've destroyed all navigational data and prototype weapons in compliance with the [[Cole Protocol]]. As Covenant forces began their final push towards the facility, the [[Prototype Powered Exoskeleton|Prototype Suit]] the Marines were sent to destroy burst from the facility.

As Covenant forces began their final push towards the facility, the [[Prototype Powered Exoskeleton|Prototype Suit]] the Marines were sent to destroy burst from the facility. Piloted by ''"Ghost"'', the Prototype Suit single-handedly engages the Covenant forces on the ground and in the air. In the ensuing battle, Ghost is overwhelmed by multiple [[Sangheili|Elites]] and [[Unggoy|Grunts]]. The suit's [[Energy Shield|shielding system]] starts to fail and the armor protect him for a short time, until a [[Type-1_Antipersonnel_Grenade|plasma grenade]] hits the suit's left arm, severing it and disabling the suit. | ||
As Ghost struggles inside the armor, looking up at the escaping shuttles, he flashes back to the female Marine's death. He admits that, the moment she died in his arms; a part of him was lost and that he had became a ''ghost'', a shadow surrounded by death. The countdown on the suit's HUD finishes, and the suit's system requests a voice command for the self destruct. Ghost turns to face the advancing Covenant for one last glance, and gives the voice command 'BE HUMAN'. The prototype suit explodes in a nuclear detonation, destroying everything within its proximity. | As Ghost struggles inside the armor, looking up at the escaping shuttles, he flashes back to the female Marine's death.
