In the system there is a [[Fleet of Particular Justice|host]] of [[Covenant]] Ships, who notice the lone ship. A [[Prophet]] forbids the fleet to fire on the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Pillar of Autumn]]'', for fear of damaging the ring. Instead, the Covenant are willing to sacrifice more lives in order to board and capture the ship rather than blasting the ship to pieces. As a result of this, the ''Pillar of Autumn'' and her crew are able to destroy four covenant ships, but not without being somewhat further crippled from the Covenant onslaught. Meanwhile, technicians on the ''Autumn'' are preparing for battle and thawing out a single soldier from cryogenic sleep, presumably the last [[SPARTAN-II]] known as the [[SPARTAN-117|Master Chief]]. | In the system there is a [[Fleet of Particular Justice|host]] of [[Covenant]] Ships, who notice the lone ship.

The Covenant proceed to take out the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Autumn's]]'' defenses and board the ship. Deprived of defensive options, the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Autumn's]]'' captain, [[Jacob Keyes]], initiates the [[Cole Protocol]] and tells the crew to abandon the ship. The [[Master Chief]] is entrusted with the AI [[Cortana]]; given the wealth of tactical information the [[AI]] contains,(force deployment, weapons research, and the location of Earth) Keyes cannot allow [[Cortana]] to fall into Covenant hands. [6] The Chief fights through the Covenant invaders, reaches the last remaining lifeboat, and heads to the surface of the ringworld known as Halo. At the same time, a special contingent of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s, or ODSTs, leave the Autumn by "Human Entry Vehicles", which rocket the ODSTs to the surface. On the ground, the ODST Commander, [[Major Antonio Silva]] and his second-in-command, [[Melissa McKay]], prepare to establish a ground base from where the human forces will launch their guerrilla resistance against the Covenant. Silva is aided by a Class C Military AI named [[Wellsley]], an AI who thought he was The Duke of Wellington to prepare to take a tall butte from the [[Covenant]]. | The Covenant proceed to take out the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Autumn's]]'' defenses and board the ship.

Meanwhile, a Covenant [[Grunt]] named [[Yayap]] leads his squad into the ''Pillar of Autumn''. Extremely cautious and cowardly by nature, Yayap and his team decide to rescue a Covenant Special Operations [[Elite]] wounded by the Master Chief, rather than fight the humans. The five small aliens drag the black-armored Elite back to their craft and escape the deteriorating ''Autumn'' as it plunges towards the Ringworld's atmosphere. | Meanwhile, a Covenant [[Grunt]] named [[Yayap]] leads his squad into the ''Pillar of Autumn''.
