| Meanwhile, [[James Ackerson|Colonel James Ackerson]] is being interrogated by the [[Jiralhanae]] aboard the {{Pattern|Ket|battlecruiser}} ''[[Triumphant Declaration]]''. He is about to be killed when he coaxingly states that if "''The Covenant attack Earth...they will never find the key.''" The [[Jiralhanae Captain|Brute Captain]] interrogating Ackerson uses [[Jiralhanae combat knife|a knife]] to lacerate Ackerson until he reveals more information. Ackerson states that this key, if not found, will force [[Halo Array|the Halos]] to malfunction "''like they did before''". He also calls the key the "[[Key of Osanalan]]" and tells that it is hidden in the city of [[Cleveland]]. Ackerson then loses consciousness, leaving the Brutes confused and worried.

|
| On Earth, a new character named [[Ruwan Ackerson|Ruwan]] is introduced. He serves as a concierge for a high-line motel in Cleveland as it is attacked by the Covenant. He meets [[Myras Tyla]], a performer staying there. The two evade the Covenant through the city, but are finally caught and herded together with what seems to be most of the population of the area into [[Jacobs Field]], where the Covenant declare that to live they must find and give to them the Key of Osanalan. Myras is confused, but Ruwan states with certainty that he "''knows exactly what that is.''" Suddenly, the Covenant herding the humans at the stadium are attacked by [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] rappelling down from [[AV-14 Hornet|Hornets]]. As everyone flees, Myras and Ruwan escape, whilst Myras questions how she had lived her life, and blames it all on her boyfriend, [[Philip]]. With twisted fervor, she pushes herself to escape, while thinking of spending a new life with Ruwan. They escape together, riding a [[M831 Troop Transport|Warthog]] to safety. They head to an old section of the city not under attack. They help themselves to some supplies on the Warthog, and set up a little camp for themselves. They chatted a while, but a [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] appears. After they drive to safety, Ruwan and Myra are saved by a team of [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] and escape the city in a [[Pelican]].

|
| John-117, in the meantime, finds himself faced by an extremely large force of Covenant troops. He falls to the floor after being hit by several [[assault cannon]] beams, and is confronted by a [[Jiralhanae War Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]] who begins to interrogate him about the Key of Osanalan. However, the Spartan sticks the Brute with a [[Anskum-pattern plasma grenade|plasma grenade]] and escapes. The Chief then continues his push through the ship, eventually arriving in the Prophet's chambers and setting his sights on the Prophet. He holds up his [[Type-51 Carbine|carbine]], sights the Prophet and fires a round. However, the Prophet is protected by [[energy shielding|shields]] and the Spartan is shot in the back by a [[Kig-yar|Jackal]]. He falls and lands right in front of the Prophet's Brute guards. While the Chief manages to get several shots at Truth, he soon makes his escape, as the Chief is left to fight the guards. He kills them all and starts to find a way off the ship.

| In a flashback, the Key of Osanalan is revealed to be a fictional object made up by Ruwan and his brother, James Ackerson, when they were kids. Colonel Ackerson spoke of the "key" and divulged this false information in order to prevent the Covenant from destroying Cleveland where Ruwan resided. In the Cleveland sewers, Ruwan, Myras, and a squad of UNSC Marines make their way into a secret underground [[Military base|UNSC base]]. Ruwan explains to the marines how he and his brother, Colonel James Ackerson, made up the Key of Osanalan when they were boys.

|
| The UNSC come up with an operation to leak the whereabouts of top Covenant leaders, and thus stage a significant assault on the Covenant. This is done using the "key" as bait and Ruwan insists that he be the one to deliver the key to the Covenant by himself. When the Covenant picks him up, he declares the Key of Osanalan is, in fact, himself. The plan is approved and Ruwan is injected with [[Tykos 30]], a chemical tracking compound. The ploy works, and Ruwan is taken to the [[Minister of Inquisition]] on the battlecruiser ''[[Harbinger of Piety]]''. Ruwan is still being tracked by the UNSC which the Covenant detects and falsely believes to be for rescue. However, Ruwan explains that it is actually a targeting vector before the [[Orbital defense platform|MAC platform]] ''[[Nassau Station|Nassau]]'' destroys the ''Harbinger of Piety'', killing Ruwan and the Minister of Inquisition. In the aftermath Lepidus confronts Ackerson who taunts the Brute about his wild-goose chase. Enraged, Lepidus decapitates Ackerson in retaliation.
| | On some pages the Covenant speak... well Covenant... See [[Covenant language]] |
|
| |
|
| Meanwhile, John-117, having failed in his attempt to assassinate Truth, fights his way out of the Forerunner ship's [[airlock]] in a [[Type-32 Rapid Assault Vehicle|Ghost]]. On the surface of the Dreadnought, he is informed that the command ship holding the "key" is to be destroyed, and that he will be within the radius of the blast unless he takes immediate evasive maneuvers. He moves to another part of the Forerunner ship to avoid being caught in the blast's wake. The Master Chief is then ordered to find a way to return to Earth quickly. His subsequent drop can be seen in the opening cutscene of ''[[Halo 3]]''.
| | {{Template:spoiler}} |
| | In the comic, the Master Chief is depicted in an unknown ship of apparent Forerunner design, with doors very similar to the sort found in [[343 Guilty Spark]] and a room similar to the one which contains a [[Seraph]] in the Halo 2 level [[The Arbiter]]. He is contacted by a base on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, but demands silence and moves on, crushing the Covenant who engage him. As this happens, the scene cuts to an interrogation of [[Colonel James Ackerson]], captured by the Covenant aboard the Covenant Cruiser [[Triumphant Declaration]]. He is about to be killed in celebration of the defeat of Earth before he vexingly states that if "[The Covenant] attack earth...[they will] never find the key.". The Brute Captain is intruiged by this and uses a large knife to lacerate Ackerson until he reveals that this key, if not found, will force the Halos to malfunction "like they did before", that it is hidden in the city of [[Cleveland]], and that it is called the [[Key of Osanalan]]. Before he can reveal more he either falls unconscious or dies, leaving the Brutes confused and worried. A new, self-doubting character named [[Ruwan]] is introduced who serves as a concierge for a high-line motel in Cleveland under attack by the Covenant. He meets [[Myras Tyla]], a performer staying there who comandeers several weapons from a dead marine and manages to escape with Ruwan. They try to flee in vehicles but find the road blocked, and are finally herded together with what seems to be most of the population of the area into a stadium, where the Covenant declare that to live they must find and give to them the Key of Osanalan. Myras is confused, but Ruwan states with certainty that he "knows exactly what that is." |
| | The Chief, in the meantime, finds himself faced by an extremely large force of Covenant troops, including at least three Hunter Pairs who fire on him simultaneously. He is hit by several beams and falls to the floor. A Brute Chieften begins to crush him with his boot, saying that the Chief will tell them where the Key is...after they remove enough parts of his body. |

| | * Alex Maleev - Covers, Penciling, Inking |
| The first issue's release was pushed back for an unknown reason from July 18, 2007 to August 22, 2007, which was met. It is said that its delay was due to a last minute change in a major plot point of ''Halo'', and it was decided that ''Halo: Uprising'' needed reworking. However, due to writer Brian Michael Bendis' concurrent work on the "''Secret Invasion''" series, the release of all issues of ''Halo: Uprising'' was pushed back.
