In the first idea, the DLC would see the Chieftain returning to ''[[High Charity]]'', in a scene similar to [[The Heretic]] cutscene of ''[[Halo 2]]''. The Chieftain is questioned by the [[Hierarchs]] about his failures and survival at ~~the~~ [[~~Etran Harborage~~]], and is tasked with restoring his honour. The Chieftain is then dispatched to an [[Unggoy]] colony world which is on the verge of an uprising, where a human ship has been seen. The Chieftain puts down the uprising, and learns from the Grunts that the human ship was spotted nearby a mining outpost operated by pirates and mercenaries. The scene ends with the reveal that the ship is {{UNSCShip|Spirit of Fire}}, ending with the same shot as the post-credit scene in the main game.{{Ref/Reuse|TwitterDLC1}}

In the first idea, the DLC would see the Chieftain returning to ''[[High Charity]]'', in a scene similar to [[The Heretic]] cutscene of ''[[Halo 2]]''. The Chieftain is questioned by the [[Hierarchs]] about his failures and survival at [[Trove]], and is tasked with restoring his honour. The Chieftain is then dispatched to an [[Unggoy]] colony world which is on the verge of an uprising, where a human ship has been seen.

The second idea starts around the last level of the main game's campaign, with the Brutes being pushed back by the UNSC and Flood on both sides. The Brutes attempt to seal the entrance portal to the shield world to trap the humans inside, before escaping. The Brutes then travel to a Forerunner mining world for repairs, only to discover it infested with Flood.{{Ref/Reuse|TwitterDLC1}}
