The novel picks up directly where ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' left off, with [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]], [[Franklin Mendez|Chief Mendez]] along with a group of [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] and [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] stranded on [[ | The novel picks up directly where ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]'' left off, with [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]], [[Franklin Mendez|Chief Mendez]] along with a group of [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] and [[SPARTAN-III Program|SPARTAN-IIIs]] stranded on [[ONI Research Facility Trevelyan|the Sharpened Shield]] within a slipspace bubble, now lying in the remnants of the artificial planet [[Onyx]]. While they explore the Forerunner construct and attempt to find a way out, ONI director [[Admiral]] [[Margaret Orlenda Parangosky|Margaret Parangosky]] assembles a black ops team known as [[Kilo-Five]], which is led by [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Serin Osman]], a failed [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]] candidate and a protege of Admiral Parangosky. The team also consists of a SPARTAN-II, [[Naomi-010]]; three [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, [[Vasily Beloi]], [[Malcolm Geffen]], and [[Lian Devereaux]]; and the AI construct [[Black-Box]]. They are accompanied by a [[civilian]] academic known as [[Evan Phillips]], who is notably one of the few humans fluent in the [[Covenant languages|Sangheili language]]. | ||
Kilo-Five is assigned on a covert mission to sow discord between disparate [[Sangheili]] factions by any means necessary, and later bring Dr. Halsey in once she has been located. Their mission takes them to various planets, including [[New Llanelli]], [[Venezia]] and [[Sanghelios]]. At one point, they accompany [[Terrence Hood|Admiral Hood]] on a diplomatic mission to meet [[Arbiter]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] on Sanghelios. Meanwhile in the Dyson sphere, [[Lucy-B091]] discovers a local population of [[Huragok]], who assist the human survivors in establishing communications with the ONI ships prowling Onyx's debris field. Trevelyan is eventually brought into normal space from its slipspace bubble by the Huragok, and Parangosky sends Kilo-Five inside to arrest Halsey, while ONI dispatches science teams to recover Forerunner technologies from the construct. | Kilo-Five is assigned on a covert mission to sow discord between disparate [[Sangheili]] factions by any means necessary, and later bring Dr. Halsey in once she has been located.
