Detailed Summary
The story begins at an ODST drop above the planet Ariel. The narrator, Romeo, talks about how they are always alone. It then jumps back in time to an archaeological colony on the surface of the planet, where a doomed researcher escapes a deadly Covenant attack on the surface, stammering inside a structure to call for help.
Meanwhile on a UNSC Frigate, Romeo and another Marine talk about the Spartan project and how stories about them are fake. One of the stories was when the Master Chief was young, just after the augmentation on the UNSC Atlas, he was bullied into fighting with four other ODST's and killed every one of them. As the story stops Romeo and a Marine named Brimley get into a fight, but it is soon broken up by Dutch. Their superior officer, Master Sergeant Frost, confines Romeo and Dutch to their quarters because of the fight, and the story then jumps back to the fight on Ariel as the narrator talks about how Dutch and wife, Gretchen, met, and shows Dutch viewing a recorded video message from her. The scene cuts to the ODST squad who have now landed on Ariel and they find that the area is desolate, with no signs of bodies left. They find one lone civilian body but he was killed by natural causes. It then concludes with Romeo questioning the loneliness of the planet, and the words "To Be Continued..." at the bottom of the page.
Trivia
- Issue 1 shows the only time that Master Chief's face has been shown, though it is covered by a shadow, hiding distinct features.
