Official summary
Plot synopsis
The issue opens in 2556, with the UNSC Cascadia deploying a D79-TC Pelican to the planet Cleyell, rumored with a strong presence of Kig-Yar scavengers, with an ODST team led by Holly Tanaka. One of the ODSTs indicates that rescue civilians is not the life for an ODST, but one of his colleagues tells him that such missions usually end in a firefight. The ODST then ask Tanaka if she knows how to handle a rifle. The narrative jumps back to 2551, three days after the Kig-Yar's attack to the compound. Tanaka mouns her father's demise and blames the other two survivors by releasing the prisoner who led the Kig-Yar to the compound. One of the survivors reveals that the one who released the prisoner was Tanaka's father; he decided to release him because if he had decided to kill him, it would have demoralized the other survivors. After the discussion, the survivors decided to recover an emergency cache near the cave, but the compound's doorstep is surrounded by Kig-Yar forces. When Tanaka asks how they'll get through the Kig-Yar, the other two survivors reveal they are actually Insurgents, and then they proceed to train her.
Back in 2556, the ODST team lands in Cleyell's surface and find a transmitter wedged down in a crack. When one of the ODSTs ask why someone would stash a transmitter there, another ODST founds a dead civilian with plasma burns in his body. Again in 2551, Tanaka and the survivors attract the Kig-Yar into a trap.[2]
