In [[2553#January|January 2553]], [[Commander]] [[Musa-096]], a former [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]], has arranged an audience with several [[Admiral|admirals]] in [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]]. Despite reprehending the morality of the SPARTAN-II Program, Musa stresses the importance of the Spartans in the [[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]] and argues that they are still necessary, revealing that he has created [[SPARTAN-IV Program|a new generation]] of the supersoldiers. Three months earlier, in [[2552#October|October 2552]], a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]], including Sarah Palmer, are deployed on a planet under Covenant attack. On the surface, [[Admiral]] [[Kovalic]], protecting an important [[Artificial intelligence|AI]], is heading to an extraction point, but his [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] is attacked by a [[Jiralhanae | In [[2553#January|January 2553]], [[Commander]] [[Musa-096]], a former [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-II]], has arranged an audience with several [[Admiral|admirals]] in [[HIGHCOM Facility Bravo-6]].

Three months earlier, in [[2552#October|October 2552]], a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]], including Sarah Palmer, are deployed on a planet under Covenant attack. On the surface, [[Admiral]] [[Kovalic]], protecting an important [[Artificial intelligence|AI]], is heading to an extraction point, but his [[M12 Light Reconnaissance Vehicle|Warthog]] is attacked by a [[Jiralhanae Chieftain]]. Palmer's [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle|drop pod]] lands nearby and she defends Kovalic from the Chieftain and other [[Covenant]] forces converging on their position. Even though she is wounded by a [[Type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|Needler]] shard, Palmer eventually kills the Chieftain and saves the admiral. Three months later, while still recovering in a [[Lockhart medical station|UNSC medical facility]], Palmer is visited by [[Jun-A266]], who invites her to join the SPARTAN-IV Program. | ||
A group of [[Insurrectionist]]s have stolen plans to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}. While some stand in disbelief, others feel it will be used to control the colonies; the leader, [[Ilsa Zane]], plans to take the ship for the Insurrectionists instead. Meanwhile, Sarah Palmer undergoes the augmentation procedures to become a SPARTAN-IV. Later, during a training exercise against several Marines, she rushes ahead of her Spartan-IV teammates, who are disabled in the process, to accomplish the objective. Jun-A266 and Musa-096 berate her for this, with the latter emphasizing the importance of Spartans working as a team. Later, while the new SPARTAN-IVs are given a tour of ''Infinity'' by [[Thomas Lasky]], the Insurrectionists make their way aboard the ship disguised as a construction crew. They take Captain Del Rio hostage and make their way to the bridge, taking control of the ship and hold the crew hostage. After realizing that the ship's AI, [[Aine]], has been shut down, Palmer decides to take the initiative and outfits herself with [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR armor]], picking the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/S variant#GEN2|Scout]] variant from the armor bay's limited selection of suits. | A group of [[Insurrectionist]]s have stolen plans to the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}.
