-When you're a war journalist, you see a lot of horrible stuff. All the stories I've done - I've seen the absolutely worst of [[Human|humanity]]. But I've also got to seen the best. [[2552|Six years ago]], I saw ''him''. The greatest, most mysterious hero of our time, up-close in action. I witnessed, first hand, what he did [[Battle of Mombasa|that day]], and it changed everything for me. Anyone listening to this knows exactly who I'm talking about. The guy who saved us, saved [[Earth]], saved mankind: Master Chief Petty Officer [[John-117|Spartan-117]], whom we now know as simply "the Master Chief".

-A few months ago I was hired to do an in-depth profile on the Chief - exclusive access, the whole thing - since then, I've gotten to talk with a lot of people who claim they know the ''real'' Master Chief; the boy, the soldier, the hero... the traitor? See, I've always known where the story was going before it started. I'd known exactly the story I wanted to tell for years, the story of all of us wanted to hear - glossy, inspiring, the blockbuster hero biography. That's all this was supposed to be. But the truth isn't always that clean.
-When I pulled that first loose thread, something broke. Now everything is caving in and I find myself stuck with all these ugly questions, questions I never intended to ask. Fabricated histories? People who aren't who they say they are? Cover-ups of cover-ups? That steady drumbeat of theories that used to sound insane, now they don't seem so '"out there".
-And these disturbing rumors, reports of anomalies. Something big is happening in deep space, and I can't even corroborate a single fact about one man's life. It's clear to me now. I can't fix the pretty story, but maybe I can break the ugly one.
-For the first time in my career I can honestly say I don't know the shave of where is this is going. And in fact, the possibilities have me lying awake at night. But I believe we all deserve to know the real story. We need to know where this leads. I know I do.
-So I find myself back at the beginning. Who is the Master Chief? Where does he come from? And he is keeping us safe?
-Join me as I hunt the truth about the Master Chief.}}
