Prologue (Halo 5)

(Another adventure, another chapter. Welcome viewers to another chapter and this time it's the beginning of Halo 5. Enjoy)
————————————————————————
Deep within a ONI facility, Dr. Catherine Halsey walks down a walkway in the middle of a dark circular room, lined by tall black monoliths. Reaching its end, Halsey places her left hand on a scanning panel and the door opens to let her into her own lab. Inside, Debussy's Prelude No.4 is softly playing. As she passes her desk, Halsey sets her journal on it. The desk is adorned with books, ONI paper files, an active holoscreen, and a framed photo of Miranda Keyes. Nearby is a hologram of a human brain.

Halsey reaches into the wall and pulls out an armored matrix. She then heads to the far end of the lab, where there is a glowing blue holotank.

Halsey: (voiceover) "Spartan Locke."

Halsey plugs the armored matrix into the blue holotank. Standing on it is a projection of a blue woman, Cortana.

Halsey: (voiceover) "I have spent enough years with ONI to know the truth."

Halsey smiled at her AI and Cortana smiles back.

Halsey: (voiceover) "Once this is over, after all I have done..."

Halsey turns the handle of the matrix in the tank. Cortana's hologram vanishes as she's transferred to its chip.

Halsey: (voiceover) "They'll order you..."

The room darkens and Halsey's smile fades.

Halsey: (voiceover) ...to kill us both.

On a seat inside a Pelican's troop bay lies Jameson Lockes's helmet. A rotating cylindrical holotank lowers from the ceiling. It activates, displaying several holographic photos of destruction on several human colonies. Members of Fireteam Osiris are looking at the holotank. Well all the members apart from one. Jun, Noble three is currently checking out his weapons making sure they are in great condition for battle. An additional screen appears on it as Thomas Lasky begins his transmission.

Thomas Lasky (Video COM): "Fireteam Osiris. Over the last 72 hours, five colonies have experienced identical events. Massive destruction, Forerunner in origin."

Olympia Vale stands up. A 3D portrait of Catherine Halsey appears on the holotank.

Lasky (Video COM): "Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey has managed to contact us."

Edward Buck scratches his chin.

Lasky (Video COM): "She claims to have information on these attacks."

Holly Tanaka passes an M6H magnum to Vale as they look at the holotank. Another screen appears on it as Sarah Palmer joins in.

Sarah Palmer (Video COM): "Halsey is currently in Covenant custody on the surface of Kamchatka."

Locke stands up as the holotank shows battle plans for Kamchatka.

Palmer (Video COM): "Your mission is to insert behind enemy lines, retrieve Halsey and bring her back to UNSC Infinity."

The hologram of the Kamchatkan mountain ranges disappears, and a Sangheili hologram replaces it.

Palmer (Video COM): "Be advised. Dr. Halsey is accompanied by Covenant supreme leader Jul 'Mdama. If you have the opportunity..."

Locke: "Understood, Commander."

Lasky (Video COM): "Good luck, Spartan Locke. Infinity out."

The holotank shuts down.

Locke: "Tracking gear online?"

Vale activates her Artemis Tracking System.

Olympia Vale: "Affirmative."

Tanaka grabs her helmet from the overhead compartment and approaches the center of the Pelican.

Holly Tanaka: "Say, before we make this jump, anybody want to say a few words?"

Buck stands and picks up his M45 shotgun, cocking it and holstering it on his back.

Edward Buck: "I figure if God can hear how scared I am, so can everyone else. Locke, you buying the first drink when we're done?"

Locke: "You ask, you buy."

Buck chuckles. Locke turns to the others. Jun the stands up holstering his sniper on his back before joining the others.

Locke: "Fireteam Osiris, the light is green."

Locke turns around and opens the troop bay door. Before anyone can make a move Jun jumps out. Everyone else looks at each other in surprise before Vale and Tanaka put on their helmets and jump joining Jun in the sky. Buck smiles and passes Locke his helmet before putting on his own helmet and jumping off the Pelican. Locke puts on his helmet, turns around, and jumps. He joins the others in the sky.
