{{Article Quote|[[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s from the [[105th | {{Article Quote|[[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s from the [[105th Shock Troops Division|105th Division]]—more famously known as the "Helljumpers"—have arrived at a distressed science colony on the planet [[Ariel]]…only problem? The place is totally abandoned. As the Helljumpers investigate, trying to figure out what happened to the colonists, it becomes increasingly clear that the colony isn’t quite as empty as it seemed… the discovery of a large [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] military presence raises more questions than it answers. Helljumpers "[[Taylor H. Miles|Dutch]]" and "[[Kojo Agu|Romeo]]" have penetrated farthest into the Covenant-held facility, and when all hell breaks loose, it will be the ultimate test of their fighting prowess—and their friendship.}} | ||

Issue #2 begins with Dutch and Romeo in the colony's reactor complex, under fire from Covenant forces. The story then jumps back some time, back to the planet surface, where [[Master Sergeant|MSgt]] [[Frost]] orders the Marines to spread out and investigate the entire settlement. Dutch and Romeo head to the generator complex, where they find suspicious footprints. Deeper down to the subterranean complex, their communications link with the surface is disrupted. | Issue #2 begins with Dutch and Romeo in the colony's reactor complex, under fire from Covenant forces.

Moving further, they switch on [[VISR]] and witness multiple [[Unggoy]], guarded by [[Sangheili]], digging for something in the reactor room. On the surface, Frost notices that Dutch's and Romeo's signal is gone, and contacts the other teams, including [[Campbell (ODST)|Campbell]] and [[Higgins]] in the motor pool. However, as they proceed to leave, they are ambushed and killed by [[Kig-yar]]. Meanwhile, Dutch and Romeo, with their comms still down, decide to head back to the surface to inform Frost of the situation. As they head back, they are attacked by Covenant. Under fire from Grunts and Elites, Romeo shoots a walkway's supports, bringing it down on two Elites. However, [[plasma]] bolts from a dying Elite's [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle|plasma rifle]] hit the reactor, damaging it to the point of imminent meltdown. | Moving further, they switch on [[Visual Intelligence System, Reconnaissance|VISR]] and witness multiple [[Unggoy]], guarded by [[Sangheili]], digging for something in the reactor room.

Dutch and Romeo escape, but encounter more Covenant forces in another room. With their communications back online, Romeo asks for backup, just as an Elite ambushes Dutch and easily overpowers him, knocking him down. Meanwhile, the generator explodes, setting off a chain reaction in the underground complex. The ODSTs on the surface detect this, and despite [[Michaels]]'s protests, Frost decides to leave Dutch and Romeo behind and get into safe distance of the explosion. | Dutch and Romeo escape, but encounter more Covenant forces in another room.
