''In the first, desperate days of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] has enacted the [[United Nations Space Command Emergency Priority Order 098831A-1|Cole Protocol]] to safeguard Earth and its [[Inner Colonies]] from discovery by a [[Covenant|merciless alien foe]]. Many are called upon to rid the universe of lingering navigation data that would reveal the location of Earth. Among them is Navy Lieutenant [[Jacob Keyes]].
