==Official summary== | ==Official summary== | ||
{{Article | {{Article quote|August [[2558]]. [[Rion Forge]] was once defined by her relentless quest for hope amidst the refuse and wreckage of a [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|post-Covenant War galaxy]]—years spent searching for [[John Forge|family]] as much as fortune. But that was before Rion and the crew of her salvager ship [[Ace of Spades]] encountered a [[Spark|powerful yet tragic being]] who forever altered their lives. This remnant from eons past, when the [[Forerunners]] once thrived, brought with it a revelation of ancient machinations and a shocking, [[Forerunner-Flood War|brutal history]]. Unfortunately, the Ace crew also made dire enemies of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] in the process, with the constant threat of capture and incarceration a very real possibility. Now with tensions mounting and ONI forces closing in, Rion and her companions commit to this being’s very personal mission, unlocking untold secrets and even deadlier threats that have been hidden away for centuries from an unsuspecting universe....{{Ref/Reuse|S&S}}}} | ||
==Plot synopsis== | ==Plot synopsis== | ||
Months after the Librarian's imprint gave him the mission of "right what the Forerunners did wrong" below [[Mount Kilimanjaro]], Spark reflects about his life as the human named [[Chakas]], his fateful encounter with [[IsoDidact|Bornstellar]], releasing the [[Ur-Didact]] from the [[Djamonkin Crater]], how the [[Librarian]] connected his', Bornstellar's, and [[Riser]]'s lives and how, of the three of them, now he's the only one that remains. After his reflection, he sees the Halo ring on the Saggitarius Arm, the same ring Spark never expected to see again. | |||
Three weeks earlier, on August [[2558]], the ''[[Ace of Spades]]'' crew lands on the planet [[Sonata]], to visit Rion's mother and inform her about [[John Forge]]'s death. | |||
