Two | Two Marines—Ghost and an [[Unnamed Marine (Prototype)|unnamed female]]—take shelter in a forest on an unknown planet, surrounded by their dead comrades. The female marine asks her Sergeant about his call sign, "Ghost", while he dispassionately treats her wounds. With her dying words, she asks him, for once in his life, to "be human". The Marine's death and last words leave the usually-emotionless Ghost deeply disturbed. | ||
Three years later, the planet Algolis is under attack by the Covenant. The Marines defending | Three years later, the planet Algolis is under attack by the Covenant. The Marines defending UNSC Weapons Research Facility T12A are taking heavy casualties fighting Covenant air and ground forces, trying to buy time for the remaining civilians to evacuate. However, the Hades Corps of UNSC Engineers refuses to retreat until all weapons and navigational data are destroyed in compliance with the [[Cole Protocol]]. As Covenant forces began their final push towards the base, the [[HRUNTING/YGGDRASIL Mark I ADS]] the Marines were sent to destroy flies out of a nearby hangar. | ||

Ghost single-handedly engages the Covenant forces on the ground and in the air, taking out large numbers of their forces easily. In the ensuing battle, Ghost is overwhelmed by ground infantry. The suit's [[Energy Shield|shielding system]] starts to fail, and the suit is completely disabled when a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|plasma grenade]] severs its (and Ghost's) left arm. | ||
As Ghost struggles | As Ghost struggles inside the disabled armor, he looks up at the escaping shuttles and flashes back to the female Marine's death. He admits that the moment she died in his arms, a part of him was lost and that he had become a "ghost"—a shadow surrounded by death. A countdown on the suit's HUD finishes, and the suit's system requests a voice command to activate a self-destruct function. Ghost turns to face the advancing Covenant for one last glance, and gives the voice command: "Be Human". The prototype suit explodes in a nuclear detonation, killing Ghost and all of the surrounding Covenant. | ||

He redacts his previous request for Ghost's court-martial, listing him as [[Missing in Action|missing]] during heavy combat on Algolis and further stating that Ghost had demonstrated great conduct as a Marine and human being. He then informs of their rendezvous with the [[UNSC Heart of Midlothian]]. | ||

*Strangely, the frigate that the Marines retreated to following the battle on the surface knowingly rendezvouses with the UNSC ''Heart of Midlothian'', while the [[Cole Protocol]] demands that if Covenant forces are detected, a ''random'' jump must be executed. However, as the Protocol also states that the jump must not be executed towards any human population centers, it is possible that the jump was not considered a violation. | *Strangely, the frigate that the Marines retreated to following the battle on the surface knowingly rendezvouses with the UNSC ''Heart of Midlothian'', while the [[Cole Protocol]] demands that if Covenant forces are detected, a ''random'' jump must be executed.
