The story opens with the Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and the other [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-IIs]] of Blue Team—Fred-104, Kelly-087, and Linda-058—aboard the {{UNSCShip|Special Delivery}}, an [[Owl]] stealth insertion craft, en route to the surface of Reach, a once-thriving colony and the heart of the [[UNSC]] military that had been [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] [[2552|seven years prior]] to their [[Operation: WOLFE|mission]]. Blue Team had been ordered to retrieve potential war altering assets from within CASTLE Base, hidden deep under the [[Highland Mountains]]. The Owl's small flight crew of three of the UNSC's best remaining operatives—crew chief [[Stella Mukai]], pilot [[UNSC rank structure|Major]] [[Eznik Van Houte]], and co-pilot [[UNSC rank structure|First Lieutenant]] [[Maks Chapov]]—had been tasked with the delivery of Blue Team and their excavation equipment to the planet's surface. However, they soon realize that the simple snatch-and-grab mission will be considerably more difficult than expected. The ''Special Delivery'' is spotted and attacked by enemy aircraft. They narrowly makes it to the ground while under fire from [[Morsam-pattern Seraph|Seraphs]]. | The story opens with the Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and the other [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-IIs]] of Blue Team—Fred-104, Kelly-087, and Linda-058—aboard the {{UNSCShip|Special Delivery}}, an [[D102 Owl]] stealth insertion craft, en route to the surface of Reach, a once-thriving colony and the heart of the [[UNSC]] military that had been [[Glassing|glassed]] by the [[Covenant]] [[2552|seven years prior]] to their [[Operation: WOLFE|mission]].

Back on solid ground, the Spartans aren't given much time to recover before the attacking Seraphs make another pass. Blue Team is forced into a defensive hold while attempting to unload their cargo and crew from the wreckage of the Owl. After briefly gaining control of the situation thanks to Fred's improvisation with the excavation equipment's [[plasma drill]], John notices the sigil of the [[Banished]] on the hull of a downed Seraph, revealing that the ruthless faction of mercenaries had occupied Reach. As per protocol, the Owl is destroyed via an internally-stored [[octanitrocubane]] charge to cover their tracks. | Back on solid ground, the Spartans aren't given much time to recover before the attacking Seraphs make another pass.
