Earth: Orbital Defense Platform Cairo Station: 4 hours and 50 minutes since contact with Princess Celestia

Fleet Admiral Lord Terrance Hood was looking out at humanity's prized planet, Earth. The planet that mankind first named home since the Stone Age and then reached for the stars in the 1900's during the Cold-War which involved the United States of America vs. the Soviet Union. If it wasn't for the Americans and their space program NASA, then mankind wouldn't be far out in space. He was starting to wonder if he should have went with Captain Allen to see this planet, but no. He has priorities at Earth and he has the major responsibility of commanding the entire UNSC Navy from Earth to other far away planets. He was the best Fleet Admiral that the UNSC has right now. He then went on to the bridge and saw UNSC Navy personal doing their duties and other various activities. A fireteam of the marines aboard the station were playing slapjack with ODST squadron Omega 7. And some of the personal and soldiers were at the snack bar onboard the bridge and he saw ODST Sergeant Dobbin getting his daily coffee.

"Ugh!", the Sergeant groaned as he pulled the top of the coffee maker. "Guess I'm the only person on this defense platform who KNOWS to change a coffee filter. Thanks guys!"

"Hey Sergeant!", Lord Hood said in a positive tone. "How's your new squad going out for you? I heard that the last squad that you were in was a pain in the ass."

"What sir? Oh yeah THAT squadron. They were a bunch of dicks anyways except for that one girl Veronica who is in my squad now."

"I hear you sarge. I had troubles like that before when I was your age."

"How's the Euclid's Anvil's mission? Have they reported back sir?"

"Thanks for reminding me about that. I forgot to check in with them. I'll see you later sarge, you can go back to your thing right now."

"Affirmative sir."

Lord Hood then went to the personal at the computers who were working as hard as a college student taking their final exam before summer vacation.

"How's the Euclid's Anvil's mission going everyone?", Lord Hood asked the crew aboard the bridge.

"We haven't heard back from them in like five hours sir!", said one of the officers.

"What do you mean?! They should've reported back by now!"

"That's not all sir.", a female voice said from one of the Navy personal at the computers. "We haven't heard from the Captain or the crew at all!"

"Thank you Officer Miller.", Lord Hood said.

"They are nowhere even near the planet on our moniters Lord Hood.", a male voice said from the Bridge. "Has there been a mutiny on that ship or have they all gone rouge?"

"It's not likely son. No crew in the UNSC Navy would throw a mutiny on that ship for just a exploration mission. And it is very unlikely for everyone to go rouge against the UNSC they're all good men and women that I know. Their comms must be messed up since they're out in neutral space. However I'm not making chances. Keep an eye on that and see if you can get a signal to them. It could be a Covenant Remnant trap or worse. Let's keep our jets cool and figure this out in the meantime."

Earth: Office of Naval Intelligence HQ: 5 hours since contact with Princess Celestia

"You know you never tell me much about him. How he acts, what he knows, or anything else. You really ARE someone of secrets. Me and the rest of ONI know your secrets and actions before and after the human-Covenant war. I am NOT an ONI agent instead I am slightly a friend of them and a historian.  I want to know more about him because I'm curious about this Spartan. Besides every Spartan is one-of-a-kind in the UNSC. Can you please tell me more about him Dr. Halsey?", the man asked.

"I already told you about him. John is the best Spartan that me and everyone else knows.", Dr. Halsey said. "Some people say that he is almost a god against the Covenant. He's the reason WHY humanity isn't wiped out from this war with the Covenant. My work saved the human race! If it wasn't me or Mendez we wouldn't be here right now alive."

"I ALREADY know about Sierra 117 Dr. Halsey, I'm asking about someone else."

"Then who is it then?"

"Have you heard of Captain Allen of the Autumn-Class Cruiser the UNSC Euclid's Anvil?"

"Yes, why?"

"Did you know we found a new star system, Captain Allen and the crew of his ship went on an exploration mission."

"No I haven't."

"There's someone special on that ship that you know."

"That ship has an elite crew I'm sure they'll survive."

"No. We haven't heard from them in five hours."

"I'm sure that their comms are messed up since they're in neutral space. Captain Allen is known for his naval actions and is a communications expert."

"UNSC Spartan Alpha 91 was on that ship with UNSC A.I. Hannah and Captain Allen."

"Wait?! He's still alive?!"

"Yes doctor."

"How come no one has told me of this?"

"We haven't heard from the ship or seen the ship on our scanners. We might think that they're KIA. But their profiles say that they're MIA."

"Well what do we do and why am I involved in this?"

"ONI has a generous offer for your help doctor. If you help ONI with this they'll get rid of some of your 'horrible' war crimes from the public view."

"Sounds fair enough, I'll help."

"Alright. We also have an agent that can help us."

"Who is it?"

"Here he is. Doctor Halsey meet ONI Agent Locke."

"A pleasure to meet you doctor.", said Spartan Locke.

Orbital Defense Station Cario: 6 Hours since contact with Princess Celestia

"Have any of you got new reports of the Euclid's Anvil Officer Miller?", Lord Hood asked on the bridge.

"Negative sir.", Miller said. "Nothing, it's just dead space out there."

"Do we know if there has been any Covenant activity there Miller?"

"No, but we got a message."

"Lord Hood.", Locke said behind Lord Hood.

"Spartan Locke it's a pleasure for you to be here.", Hood said to the Spartan. "What's an agent from ONI like you being here on this station?"

"The UNSC High Command and the office have ordered me to help you with this problem that you're having."

"Affirmative. Miller can you play the message?"

"Affirmative. It's from THE Arbiter!", Miller said.

"The Arbiter? What does he want?", Hood replied.

A big screen came on and it showed the Arbiter in his golden armor.

"Hello humans.", said the Arbiter in a peaceful tone. "I heard about your problem with one of your ships. I believe it's called the Euclid's Anvil if I'm correct? If so then I have some news for you. Since I'm busy fighting against the Covenant Remnant I got some valuable information with me. You see the planet that you sent your ship to explore is uninhabited and there are some rumors of it having six forerunner artifacts on the planet. They are in some form of necklaces from what I can tell from the Covenant battle net. If you need my help I'll be gladly to assist you. Arbiter out."

"I guess that he is willing to help us.", Lord Uood said. "Continue to find anything from the ship Miller. Me and Locke will speak with the Arbiter."
