In the comic, the Master Chief is depicted in the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], with doors very similar to the sort found in the level, [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]], and a room similar to the one which contains a [[Seraph]] in the ''Halo 2'' level, [[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]]. He is contacted by a base on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, but demands silence and moves on, killing a group of four Grunts, then a pair of Jackals, then another Grunt quartet. | In the comic, the Master Chief is depicted in the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]], with doors very similar to the sort found in the level, [[343 Guilty Spark (Level)|343 Guilty Spark]], and a room similar to the one which contains a [[Seraph]] in the ''Halo 2'' level, [[The Arbiter (level)|The Arbiter]].

The Master 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 Chieftain begins to crush him with his foot, saying that the Master Chief will tell them "''where the Key is...after they remove enough parts of his body''". | The Master 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.

*In the comic, it shows Master Chief being hit by Fuel Rod Guns from Hunters. Seeing as how possibly 6 beams hit him, it is ''highly'' unlikely that he would have survived. In previous ''Halo'' novels, a Spartan (without shielding) got their arm blown off by a Fuel Rod Gun from a Hunter. If six beams hit the Chief, then it should have killed him, despite the fact that he had shields | *In the comic, it shows Master Chief being hit by Fuel Rod Guns from Hunters.
