The film opens in February [[2553]], four months after the [[Battle of Earth]] and one month before the official end of the war. Recon Marines belonging to the 267th Marine Regiment, led by Lieutenant Ashton, are sent to destroy the San Solano observatory, an abandoned base in [[Wikipedia:Argentina|Argentina]] behind enemy lines, as part of the preparation for the opening phase of Operation Chastity – a search-and-destroy operation to cleanse Argentina of the last pocket of [[Covenant]] resistance on Earth. | The film opens in February [[2553]], four months after the [[Battle of Earth]] and one month before the official end of the war.

Ashton is called to a classified meeting with Lt. Commander Thordarson, of ONI Section Three. He is informed that the Covenant that attacked San Solano were from the ''Chaste Ascendancy'', a crashed {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} that was carrying numerous Covenant criminals who were put into service in exchange for freedom. At his urging, the [[Sangheili]] [[Swords of Sanghelios|allied with humanity]] were convinced not to [[Glassing|glass]] the crash site. As for the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]], they were part of the 11th Division and most of their pods were destroyed. Claiming there may be a few survivors, Thordarson orders Ashton to rearm his men for one more mission before they can go home. Ashton reluctantly tells them the news but assigns a few trusted Marines (Winters, Ince, and Foster) to Thordarson’s command Pelican in case the Lt. Commander tries to pull something unusual. | Ashton is called to a classified meeting with Lt. Commander Thordarson, of ONI Section Three.

[[File:Op Chastity - Pelican Down.jpg | [[File:Op Chastity - Pelican Down.jpg|thumb|250px|"Pelican Down."]]The 267th and 29th are deployed by Pelican to an abandoned control tower where the ODST survivors are claimed to be. However, they do not find any troopers but instead the Spartan, [[Maria-062]], under orders by Thordarson to investigate the area. She tells him that the ODSTs managed to put a tracker on their target before the Covenant killed them. They return to the Pelicans with Maria, where Thordarson tells the Marines of their true mission: to acquire a Covenant cargo that he suspects is a weapon of mass destruction. The cargo has been tracked to the Las Armas munitions factory, where ''Chaste Ascendancy'''s crew has assembled. As an airstrike could risk setting off the device, the Marines are deployed to capture the package. | ||
As they reach the site, the Covenant shoot down their Pelicans and an enormous battle breaks out. Most of the Marines and Maria struggle to hold off the enemy from the crash site. Thordarson and Ashton’s select team are cut off from the others and proceed to the target through underground tunnels. The squad reaches the Las Armas factory, where they kill a few Grunts and find the weapon, which appears to be a [[Forerunner]] box that Thordarson orders them not to touch. However, before they can claim it, a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] and his [[Jiralhanae Stalker|Stalkers]] attack and capture the Marines. | As they reach the site, the Covenant shoot down their Pelicans and an enormous battle breaks out.
