Human-Promethean war: Difference between revisions

Line 44:

With a momentary lull in the fighting, John was called to a strategy meeting with Andrew Del Rio, Captain of the Infinity. Skeptical of the threat of the Prometheans, Rio ordered an immediate attack on a Forerunner gravity well preventing the ship from leaving. A strike force of Spartans led by John was deployed with a Mammoth-class ultra heavy ground vehicle supporting the attack. Facing daunting odds, the UNSC was able to defeat a large armored strike force of Covenant and Promethean and disabled the gravity beam. Upon reaching his objective, John was confronted with a vision from the Librarian, who warned him of the Diact's true plans.

In ancient times, the human race was once a great interstellar empire. Fleeing from the Flood, they came into contact with the Forerunner Ecumene. Ignoring their warnings about the dangers posed by the parasite, the Forerunners led by the Didact defeated and imprisoned humanity upon their homeworld. Weakened by the struggle, the Forerunners were easy prey to the resurgent Flood. Despite this, the Didact planned to use the Composer, a device capable of transferring organic consciousness to software format to escape the Flood's infection. But the process was flawed, and the humans who underwent the process were corrupted, becoming fit only to function as the AIs of Promethean war-frames. The Librarian ~~gives~~ John a gift, a medical treatment to counteract the Forerunner's devolution of the human genome, and a means to resist the Diact's plan to enslave the human race once again.

Regrouping aboard the Infinity, Captain Del Rio dismissed the threat of the Prometheans and prepared the ship to depart the system. Defying direct orders, John took the increasingly unstable Cortana and departed the Infinity. Armed with a Pelican gunship provided by Commander Lasky, John launched several attacks on support pillars providing the Didact's Cryptum with shield and power, with the goal of preventing him from leaving the planet and attacking Earth and other colonies.

This attempt ultimately proved unsucessful, as the Didact left Requiem aboard his vessel escorted by a flotilla of Covenant ships. Stowing away aboard a Covenant ship, Master Chief pursues the Forerunner to a UNSC research base orbiting Halo Installation 03 where the Composer is kept. Sandra Tillson, a lead researcher aboard the base, helped guide John to the artifact amidst a swarm of Covenant attackers. Despite reaching the artifact first, the Didact was successful in obtaining the Composer tearing it out of the station's hull with a gravity beam. Testing the weapon, the Composer burned the crew of the station to ash, assimilating their knowledge to power additional war machines. The Master Chief's genetic enhancements rendered him immune to the device's effects.

With the Composer in the Didact's possession, the Forerunner was poised to deal a deathblow to the UNSC, and by extension humanity. Racing back to Earth aboard a Broadsword fighter, the Master Chief was surprised to find the Infinity and a UNSC fleet waiting for him. Flying below the Forerunner vessel's shields, John was able to destroy the ship's point defense guns, allowing Infinity to bombard its hull. Entering through a breach in the armor, John fought his way to the Didact's location.

Despite their best efforts, the Didact began to fire on Earthwith the Composer, annihilating a major population center within North America. Armed with a portable nuclear device, John confronted the Didact once again. While John was unable to hurt the Forerunner with conventional attacks, Cortana, nearing the end of her life, disabled the Didact's armor and immobilized him with hard light bindings. With the last of his strength, John used a Promethean grenade to destroy the Forerunner's armor and detonated the nuclear bomb manually.

With the last of her power, Cortana was able to teleport John to a safe distance from the vessel where he was recovered by the UNSC. John spoke with Lasky about the lost of his closest friend. Back on Earth, John rejoined Palmer and the other Spartans, preparing for their next inevitable battle.

Later, the Didact, seemingly surviving the loss of his ship, gave a speech to his followers. The Forerunner swore his vengeance against humanity would continue, and he would see the Forerunners return to power at any cost.

While their defeat at Earth proved a set back for the Promethean/Covenant alliance, it did not result in their defeat. Months later, the Infinity returned to Requiem with a compliment of Spartans, determined to reclaim the planet at any cost.
