The story begins with [[Molly Patel]] recalling the day the [[Covenant]] [[Siege of Paris IV|attacked]] [[Paris IV]] in [[2549]], when she was seven years old. Molly and her parents, without her older sister [[Grace Patel|Grace]], who had spent the night before the attack at a friend's house, try to search for her in the house, but Grace and her friend's family had already left. The [[Patel family]] tries to reach [[Mímir]]'s spaceport, but the Covenant starts to [[Glassing|glass]] Paris IV. Trying to escape the glassing beam, the Patels attempted to seek refuge inside a tunnel located at [[Cochineal Pass]]. Although the Patels barely managed to escape the glassing beam, their vehicle collides with the back of a truck inside the tunnel, killing [[Gotam Patel|Gotam]] and [[Brigid Patel|Brigid]] in the crash. Molly is later found in the pass tunnel by [[UNSC]] troops led by Sergeant [[Avery Johnson]]. | The story begins with [[Molly Patel]] recalling the day the [[Covenant]] [[Siege of Paris IV|attacked]] [[Paris IV]] in [[2549]], when she was seven years old.

On [[2558#September|September 2558]], Molly was living in [[Aranuka]] on [[Earth]], along with her "Newparents" [[Yong Lee]] and [[Asha Moyamba]]. One day, Yong and Asha came home early, informing Molly that they would be leaving Anaruka because they had been hired by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] to study [[Forerunner]] technology on [[Sarcophagus]], living alongside [[Sangheili]] and [[Unggoy]] from the [[Swords of Sanghelios]]. Molly roundly refuses to move with them because of her hate against those species and the Covenant as a whole, even if the Swords are allied with the humans, but when her Newparents mention [[Spartan Operations|Spartans]] will be present to secure the [[shield world]] from any threats, both internal and external, she reticently accepts the move, but plans to leave Sarcophagus when she turns 18. Inside Sarcophagus, a small battle starts near the [[Project GOLIATH|Project: GOLIATH]] site, with Forerunner [[ | On [[2558#September|September 2558]], Molly was living in [[Aranuka]] on [[Earth]], along with her "Newparents" [[Yong Lee]] and [[Asha Moyamba]].

Inside Sarcophagus, a small battle starts near the [[Project GOLIATH|Project: GOLIATH]] site, with Forerunner [[Armiger]]s appearing out of nowhere; Spartans [[Tom-B292]] and [[Lucy-B091]] are dispatched to handle the enemy forces. After the battle, they inform [[Franklin Mendez]] that the armigers were protecting the site, not attacking it. On [[Hesduros]], [[Dural 'Mdama]], "the Pale Blade" and new leader of the [[Servants of Abiding Truth]], leads his forces to the planet and forges an alliance with [[Panom|the]] [[kaidon]] of the [[Panom keep]] to gain access to the same [[slipspace]] portal Dural's father, [[Jul 'Mdama]], used to escape from Sarcophagus [[2553|five years ago]]. | ||
Days later, Molly, along with her Newparents and other families, are transported to Sarcophagus onboard the {{UNSCShip|Milwaukee}}, a {{Class|Poseidon|light carrier}} repurposed as a civilian transport and refitted with some [[Forerunner]] technology recovered inside the shield world. On the ship, they are received by Doctor [[Hugo Barton]], who fills them with the history of [[Onyx]] and some information about Sarcophagus. After settling on [[Paxopolis]], Molly and her Newparents are visited by Mendez, Tom, and Lucy. After being dismissed, Molly hides to hear what the Spartans, Mendez, and her Newparents are talking about, hearing about the incidents happening on Project: GOLIATH's site and how it is repeating itself on several human colonies, and some internal problems between the humans and the Sangheili inside Sarcophagus. After hearing that, Molly interrupts the discussion to express her opinion on how hard it is to get over the ghosts of the war. During the discussion, Molly notes [[Kasha 'Hilot]], headmaster of the [[Pax Institute]], is outside her home. Although initially reluctant, Molly greets Kasha, with both talking about the Institute and its students. Kasha hopes Molly and her family became good allies with the rest of Paxopolis, but Molly is not very convinced of it. | Days later, Molly, along with her Newparents and other families, are transported to Sarcophagus onboard the {{UNSCShip|Milwaukee}}, a {{Class|Poseidon|light carrier}} repurposed as a civilian transport and refitted with some [[Forerunner]] technology recovered inside the shield world.

In the Forerunner structure the Servants of the Abiding Truth soon come to call "The Cathedral" (shorted from "The Great Cathedral of the Esteems Avu Med 'Telcam"), "Pale Blade" settles in to begin assaulting the shield world from the inside out. Over several days, they turn the facility into a citadel, installing gunnery stations and armories and command and control equipment, as well as shuttling all the vehicles they can through the portal from Hesduros. The Sangheili within it grow restless quickly, however, sparking arguments between "Pale Blade" and Buran. "Pale Blade" reveals that the next step of the plan is already in motion; the groups Huragok, Even Keel, has located another of its kind, working at a place known as the Repository. "Pale Blade" aims to capture this second Huragok and use its knowledge of Onyx to his advantage. To do so, the Servants will utilize "utter chaos". | In the Forerunner structure the Servants of the Abiding Truth soon come to call "The Cathedral" (shorted from "The Great Cathedral of the Esteems Avu Med 'Telcam"), "Pale Blade" settles in to begin assaulting the shield world from the inside out.

Spartans Tom and Lucy are sent on [[M121 Jackrabbit| Jackrabbits]] to investigate some tripped sensors near the structure from where Jul 'Mdama escaped. They encounter and easily dispatch a group of Sentinels around the facility with their vehicle's machine guns, and then investigate on foot. They spot tracks left by a Sangheili, and Tom notes that either its a field trip from Paxopolis, or they have a breach. The latter seems more likely, and Lucy comments on their lives getting a lot harder. | Spartans Tom and Lucy are sent on [[M121 Jackrabbit|Jackrabbits]] to investigate some tripped sensors near the structure from where Jul 'Mdama escaped.

Back at the Pax Institute, Molly eagerly goes to her first self defense lesson with Tom and Lucy, only to find that its not the private session she originally envisioned. Kareem, Gudam, and Bakar have all been pressed into the class as well. Molly argues with this, but Tom and Lucy both quickly shoot her down with the logic of soldiers with decades of field experience and an entire Spartan Company's worth of recruits trained. They give her the bottom line; train with the others, or not at all. Molly accepts, realizing that it's not her opponent that she has to change, it's herself. | Back at the Pax Institute, Molly eagerly goes to her first self defense lesson with Tom and Lucy, only to find that its not the private session she originally envisioned.
