Far above the once military fortress of the UNSC, the Blade’s Edge, a UNSC Epoch-class Carrier that has recently been enlisted by ONI: SECTION III after receiving a distress call from Horizon, a small colony on the edge of UNSC space. With confirmation of Forerunner technology present, ONI has begun the preparations for a containment investigation.  

Across the scared hull of the ship, pelicans and cargo-ships skim the edge and begin to make their way into the hanger bay where hundreds of troopers, all with standard issue armour race from one end of the hanger to the other as warthogs, mammoths and even mantises are loaded into their locking bays, ready for quick assault on hostile territory. Overseeing the entire operation was SPARTAN-W114, or rather known by most as Gravedigger.  Standing there with his hands on his hips, he awaits Avalon to inform him that those specially chosen return from shore leave and meet him in the CIC.
