Back in the present, Adam arrives at the executive-level pad where an [[EV-44 Nightingale]] VTOL, a customizable airframe developed postwar in partnership with [[Misriah Armory]], awaits him. He boards the aircraft alone, accompanied by two other EV-44s carrying private military specialists as a precaution. As the Nightingale takes off, Adam makes a call to Dan, now his [[2548|12-year]] husband. The conversation is strained, revealing the distance between them due to Adam’s work commitments. Adam promises to explain everything to Dan the next day, hoping for understanding. | Back in the present, Adam arrives at the executive-level pad where an [[EV-44 Nightingale]] VTOL, a customizable airframe developed postwar in partnership with [[Misriah Armory]], awaits him.

As the Nightingale flies over Arcadia, Adam recounts the planet’s history, [[Second Fall of Arcadia|ravaged]] by the Covenant and left as a desolate glassed world. He considers the Optican's role in the interstellar healthcare system that arose postwar providing essential medical and psychological support to the countless refugees displaced by the conflict.

He considers the Optican's role in the interstellar healthcare system that arose postwar providing essential medical and psychological support to the countless refugees displaced by the conflict. However, despite these efforts, new threats continually emerge, and Adam feels a deep sense of existential dread—has Lady Luck abandoned them? | ||
The Nightingale lands in a swampy unscathed part of Arcadia, where Adam exits into a clearing surrounded by resilient trees. He walks through the ruins of an old UNSC [[firebase]], marveling at ancient [[Forerunner]] structures. Adam meets with three [[Kig-Yar]] salvagers who have brought a UNSC equipment crate. They are wary of surprises, but Adam reassures them as they walk through an overgrown field, leading them to the ruins of a battle-scarred [[Scarab]]. Adam points out the vehicle's [[focus cannon]], which had survived the battle. | The Nightingale lands in a swampy unscathed part of Arcadia, where Adam exits into a clearing surrounded by resilient trees.
