Armor Testing is the second story in the Halo Graphic Novel, written and illustrated by Ed Lee, Jay Faerber, and Andrew Robinson.
Summary
Spartan-062 stands in a Pelican Dropship in a low orbit around Earth, awaiting for permission to commence an orbital drop from an unamed UNSC Naval Captain. Upon the Captain's mark, Spartan-062 leaps from the craft and plummets towards the Earth.
Meanwhile, groundside ONI personnel monitor Spartan-062's biosigns and MJOLNIR Mark VI Armor, which is being tested.
Shortly after breaking through the cloud layer, Spartan-062 overrides the carapace safeties and withdraw their SRS99C-S2 AM Sniper Rifle, sensing all is not well below, and opens fire upon a group of ODSTs.
At an elevation of 4,000 feet, the air foil carapace opens and Spartan-062 glides to the surface as their chute opens, only to ditch it a little earlier than planned due to the hostile presence.
Upon landing, Spartan-062 is immdeiately attacked by two ODSTs, one opening fire with an SMG and the other lunging at them with a mock energy sword.
Spartan-062's shields flare and they react instantly. Grabbing the wrist of the ODST wielding the "sword", Spartan-062 uses them as a human sheild, delivering a powerful kick to the ODST with the SMG at the same time. The other ODSTs open fire, but are absorbed by Spartan-062's human shield.
The Spartan ditches the ODST as the bullets strike his body and rolls for cover behind some rocks. Once within cover, Spartan-062 hurls a frag grenade onto the middle of the unsuspecting ODSTs, neutralizing Echo 1 through 5.
