Out beyond the Outer Colonies lies the planet [[Hesiod]], a gas giant surrounded by a vast [[asteroid]] belt. As the Covenant continues to [[Glassing|glass]] the human occupied planets near Hesiod, many of the survivors, helped by a stronghold of human [[Insurrectionist]]s, are fleeing to the asteroid belt for refuge. They have transformed the tumbling satellites into a tenuous, yet ingenious, settlement known as [[the Rubble]]--and have come face-to-face with a Covenant settlement of [[Kig-Yar]] . . . yet somehow survived.

Back on the ''Midsummer Night'', Jacob Keyes attempts to enforce the Cole Protocol on a [[Finnegan's Wake|civilian freighter]]. When the Lieutenant and a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]]s board the freighter, the Insurrectionist captain detonates a bomb in a container, killing a number of ODSTs, including their commander, [[First Lieutenant]] [[Canfield]]. Later, Keyes and the ODSTs are forced to leave the ship by exiting through a hull breach they created because the freighter was rigged to blow the moment the ''Midsummer Night'' was within the blast proximity of the freighter. Keyes leaves first, taking the armor of an ODST and jumping into space, using his rifle to maneuver applying Newton's 3rd law. Keyes is able to contact the ''Midsummer Night''. However, the Insurrectionists on the civilian freighter detonate the ship to kill as many of the escaping ODSTs as possible. Keyes is eventually recovered along with most of the ODSTs, including [[second Lieutenant|2nd Lieutenant]] [[Faison]], despite the dramatic explosion.

On [[Sanghelios]], the recently-appointed [[Sangheili]] [[kaidon]] of clan [[Vadam]], [[Thel 'Vadam]]ee lies in wait for the inevitable attack by someone with doubts as to his capability as kaidon. He soon gets what he is waiting for as three assassins attempt to dispatch him; however, he quickly slays all three of the assassins. He then orders an assembly with all of his clan's [[elder]]s. He first shows the elders that the attack clearly failed as he had no scratch on his body. He then explains that he killed the first two assassins with relative ease, but lies and claims that he let the third assassin live in order to learn who sent the attack. He almost immediately noticed the stirring of one of the elders, [[Koida 'Vadam]]. Knowing the person responsible he calms down and explains his supremacy to all the elders. He then confronts Koida who foolishly tells Thel that he has sent the assassins. Thel then kills him and banishes his lineage from the [[Vadam keep]]. Thel then tells the elders that he is to be sent to a human colony, [[Charybdis IX]], by the [[Hierarchs]].

The ''Midsummer Night'' arrives at Charybdis in order to prevent a group of Insurrectionists from gaining a shipment of [[Type-25 plasma rifle|plasma rifles]] and [[Type-25 plasma pistol|plasma pistols]]. Lieutenant Keyes and Major Watanabe go planetside to meet with an ONI group in order to complete their mission. However, the mission goes bad as the UNSC group gets attacked by Insurrectionists and rioters. Major Watanabe is killed, and Keyes barely escapes the planet. As they escape the system, a [[Covenant fleet]] led by the [[Prophet of Regret|High Prophet of Regret]] eliminates the three destroyers defending the planet and starts to glass the surface.
