Halo: Last Light: Difference between revisions

==Plot summary==

In [[2553#July|July 2553]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] has deployed the [[717th Xeno-Materials Exploitation Battalion]], escorted by [[Blue Team]], to the [[human]] [[Outer Colony]] of [[Gao]] in the [[Cordoba system]] to locate a [[Forerunner]] [[ancilla]] located deep within the planet's [[Montero Cave System]]. The ancilla, [[Intrepid Eye]], was awakened from stasis when [[Line Installation 444-447]] on [[Shaps III]] sent a distress signal to [[Covert Support Base 4276]] on Gao after nearby Forerunner ruins were [[Glassing|glassed]] on the planet. When Intrepid Eye attempted to contact the rest of the [[ecumene]], only Commander [[Murtag Nelson]] of the UNSC detected the ancilla's signal, bringing them to the planet in search for her. The UNSC's presence is unwelcome on Gao; the planet's residents embrace Gao's near-total independence from the [[Unified Earth Government]] and believe the UNSC's arrival at the colony is an attempt to increase the military's control over Gao. Intrepid Eye's curious [[Huragok]] companion, [[Roams Alone]], has become fascinated with the humans, and chooses to heal their illnesses, while erasing their memories of him or Intrepid Eye. However, this results in more Gao natives flocking to the planet's caves, where the Forerunner support base is located, in hopes of having their own maladies cured by the cave's apparent therapeutic effects. Learning that the UNSC intends to capture her and of the UNSC's poor reception on the planet, Intrepid Eye murders several Gao residents in the caves, hoping that Gao blames the UNSC for the murders that started when they arrived. However, it instead results in a joint [[Gao Ministry of Protection]] and UNSC investigation in the caves in search for the murderer, while the UNSC covertly hopes to find the ancilla within the caves.
