Replying...
Intro. (Art by BloodBorealis) You are a Gen II Spartan during the last years of the war against the Covenant. (Between the end of Halo 2 and the beginning of Halo 3.) You have been assigned to protect a UNSC research team on an expedition to a newly discovered Halo and away from the fanatical radars of the Covenant, in order to gather as much information as possible about this massive ring world. His frigate was just minutes away from arriving in the ring's atmosphere, and everything seemed to be in order, until suddenly a Covenant capital ship broke through Slipspace totally unruly and crashed into his ship, forcing the pilots to make a forced landing in a clearing. You tried to rescue as many Marines and scientists as possible despite the casualties, but then you realized that the Covenant ship had landed very close to yours, with an oddly small army of only Elites coming out of the ship, almost as confused as you...
