| ''Halo: Fireside'' is set on May 21, 2559 - shortly after [[Operation: SPEARBREAKER]]. The story is divided into a number of short segments, each focusing on a different set of characters predominantly from ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' and its [[Downloadable content|DLC expansions]], and depicting day-to-day life aboard the ship and in the [[Second Ark Conflict]]. The story begins with a short monologue written by [[Isabel]] on the nature of hope, with her hoping to gain more of an understanding of the concept and how the various crew of the ship (including [[Mary]], [[Andrew Sandmoore]], and [[Jerome-092]]) percieve it - with the goal of being able to factor it into her calculations on how to fight against the war. The monologue then concludes with her wondering what the [[Banished]] hope for.

| The second section of the story focuses on [[Captain (NAVCOM)|Captain]] [[James Cutter]] heading to the [[bridge]] of ''Spirit of Fire'', and reminiscing on his service aboard the ship immediately prior to and during the events of ''[[Halo Wars]]'' - including his interactions with [[Serina]] and [[Ellen Anders]], both of whom now missing from the ship's crew.

| The third section of the story focuses on [[Lieutenant Colonel]] [[Morgan Kinsano]] and her [[Firestorm Battle Group]], and depicts an alternate perspective on the events first detailed in the [[Phoenix Logs|Phoenix Log]] for the [[multiplayer]] map [[Sentry]]. Kinsano and her forces are deployed to [[Site Ricochet]] (the in-universe codename for the Sentry multiplayer map), with the goal of reconnoitering the site and how large of a presence the Banished have there. While scouting, Kinsano reminisces on her own youth as a child on [[Reynes]] and her early career as an [[insurrectionist]]. The scouting party is then interrupted by the emergence of a [[Forerunner]] construct, which fires upon the Banished troops and leaves all [[Jato 'Ratum|but one]] dead. Kinsano reports as such to Cutter, before being ordered to retreat in light of new intelligence about a Banished attack on [[Fort Jordan (location)|Fort Jordan]].

| The fourth section of the story depicts [[Sunray 1-1]]'s celebrations at [[Quebec Base]] following the completion of a successful mission - a long-range assassination of a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]] first mentioned in the 100th issue of [[Canon Fodder]].{{Ref/Site|Id=CF100|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/sweet-centennial|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Canon Fodder - Sweet Centennial|D=24|M=09|Y=2021}} The section focuses on characterising the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]], the majority of whom were never given any screen time in ''Operation: SPEARBREAKER'', and fleshing out their intra-team interactions - showcasing a rare moment of downtime for the team.

| The story concludes with a final monologue from Isabel, noting that she has found the most obvious symbol for hope to have emerged in the form of fire; something that can symbolise many things to many people, and concluding that "''a spirit of fire is a spirit of hope''".
