==Description==
This level is set on board the ''Pillar of Autumn''. The main objective of the mission is escaping the ship.
This level is modified depending on the difficulty chosen in the following ways:
*[[Staff Sergeant|Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] makes different speeches at the beginning of the level.
*On [[Easy]] and [[Normal]], the player goes through a testing diagnostic which acts as a tutorial for basic controls and the mechanics of health and shields. On Heroic and Legendary difficulty, this is automatically skipped and the player immediately heads out to find Captain Keyes.
*On Easy and Normal difficulty, the [[Motion tracker]] and grenades are disabled until certain moments in the level. On Heroic and Legendary, they can be used right from the start.
*On Easy and Normal, when you walk through a hallway, a [[Sangheili]] will appear to attack you only for a squad of marines to gun him down.
