==Plot synopsis==
==Detailed summary==
After the events of Issue 2, Dutch and Romeo are left under attack by Covenant forces in Ariel's collapsing reactor complex, while the rest of the ODSTs retreat from the site, under orders from [[Master Sergeant|MSgt]] [[Frost]] to leave Dutch and Romeo behind. Issue #3 opens with the ODSTs on the surface witnessing the reactor's detonation, and [[Michaels]] nearly breaking down due to the apparent loss of four men in the facility. Frost orders him to quiet and the Marines move on, to another archaeological dig site some four kilometers away.

Line 37: Line 37:
Moments later, Dutch wakes up amidst the rubble from the explosion, desperately calling out to Romeo, who soon shows up, angrily asking Dutch when was he going to tell him about the transfer. Dutch only replies that they'll settle the matter later, and the two make their way over a pile of debris. They soon encounter a wounded Grunt, and start to interrogate it on what the Covenant were looking for on the planet. They find out that they were after something called "Knowing", but cannot extract more information from the Grunt. They let it go, but Romeo shoots it in the back soon after. The two decide to head to higher ground and re-establish contact with the other ODSTs. On their way, Romeo further questions Dutch about the transfer, and Dutch tells him that he filed a transfer to a non-combat planetside assignment to be with [[Gretchen|his wife]].

They reach the top of a hill, where they observe the landscape with [[binoculars]], soon locating the rest of the ODSTs - and a massive Covenant ground force mobilizing behind them. They realize that if they cannot warn the other Marines, the Covenant will slaughter them. As the two ODSTs begin to formulate a plan to warn their compatriots, several Grunts on a ledge above them proceed to pelt rocks down on them.
