 Meanwhile, out in space, [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana]], along with the last survivors of [[Installation 04]] and [[Sergeant Johnson]], find out that one of the cryotubes that Master Chief found contains [[SPARTAN-058|Linda-058]]. The others had contained marines, but they had died due to cryotube malfunction. While in the [[Longsword]] the Master Chief strips off some pieces from the craft, to reinforce a [[DX-class Spirit Dropship|Covenant dropship]] they are going to use. As they walk into the hanger of the Ascendant Justice, Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson witness Polaski practicing how to drive a Covenant dropship. As they enter [[Epsilon Eridani]], they see what has happened to Reach after the Covenant glassed the planet. They move the flagship closer as they notice that, during the glassing of Reach the Covenant "missed" a spot. The small fleet - consisting of a dozen cruisers, two assault carriers, and three squadrons of [[seraph]]s - ask why a flagship is at Reach. While on the ship, the survivors hear a UNSC E-band transmission (the E-band transmission is 5 notes "''Oly Oly Oxen Free''"). No one on the bridge recognizes it - except the Master Chief. The section then returns to July 14, 2523 as a memory reviews the time when the Spartans played capture the flag against [[Tango Company]].
-Back on ''Ascendant Justice'', the human crew debate whether they should go down to Reach in the reinforced Covenant dropship. Cortana looks around to see a spot which can be a extraction site to pick up the people going down to [[Reach]]. On the way down, cruisers start to surround them in their dropship. The humans find a canyon with some movement in it. Before landing Master Chief says the code for "''Oly Oly Oxen Free''" and says to land them in a safe spot where the survivors would find them. The Chief wanders out alone to see if there is a trap. Haverson backs him up. At the bottom of the ramp Chief senses a single signal. The friend-or-foe tag indicating who it belonged to, so the chief proceeded with cation. The Chief drew his pistol only to lower it descovering that it was [[Spartan-044|Anton-044]] who had disabled his FoF tag so the Covenant wouldn't discover his location. He led the Master Chief to the entrance of a cavern, where two Spartans, [[Spartan-093|Grace-093]] and [[Spartan-008|Li-008]] were, both operating chainguns that were bolted to the sides of two boulders. The Master Chief and Anton, followed by Grace, went into the cavern. Inside, Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb was standing at foldout card table, which was the headquarters for Camp Independence.

 [[Admiral Whitcomb]] asked why the Chief was here, instead of the mission with Captain Keyes deep in Covenant territory. The Chief told him about the events that happened on Halo, and while he was telling the story, Haverson and the others from the dropship arrived. Haverson asked Whitcomb how he was alive, and the Admiral told Haverson that while everyone was evacuating, he had stay behind because the U.N.S.C. was working on a new bomb called a [[Nova|NOVA]]. Whitcomb armed the Novas with fail safe tampering detonators and a countdown timer. Whitcomb had a team of Marines, Charlie Company, to help arm the Novas, but they were wiped out, but he then saw Red Team on coded COM and 'asked' to borrow a few Spartans, who armed the Novas and give the Covenant trouble with hit-and-run exercises.
