The first issue begins with [[Wallace|Captain Wallace]], [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Halsey]], and the Spartans II's on board the {{UNSCShip|Commonwealth}} en route to the [[Damascus Testing Facility]] on [[Chi Ceti IV]] in 2525. The frigate is immediate attacked by a [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Unrelenting|vessel]]. Dr. Halsey and the Spartans escape to the surface of the planet. Upon arriving at the facility, the Spartans are introduced and fitted with the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark IV|MJOLNIR Mk. IV armor]]. As the Covenant ship prepares to attack again, [[John-117|John]] recommends that they take MJOLNIR for a field test. John, [[Kelly-087|Kelly]], and [[Samuel-034|Sam]] board a [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] and plan to attack the ship by detonating an [[ANVIL-II Air-to-Surface Missile|ANVIL-II Missile]] inside the vessel. The issue ends as John, Kelly, and Sam leap out of their Pelican prepared to assault the Covenant vessel. | |||

The second issue follows John, Kelly, and Sam as they infiltrate the Covenant vessel. As they explore the ship, Sam is struck by an overcharged bolt from a [[Type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]] wielded by a [[Kig-yar|Jackal]] while trying to protect John. They manage to make it to the ship's reactor room and plant the ANVIL-II missile. As they prepare to leave the ship, Sam must remain behind as the vacuum seal in his armor has been compromised. Rather than die in the vacuum of space, Sam volunteers to hold off Covenant forces and allow the missile to explode, destroying the entire ship. The narrative then jumps twenty seven years forward, as the Covenant lay siege to the city of [[Côte d'Azur]] on [[Sigma Octanus IV]] in 2552. | The second issue follows John, Kelly, and Sam as they infiltrate the Covenant vessel.
