===[[First Battle of Earth]]===

[[Image:Pain.png|thumb|right|The Brute Chieftain Tartarus, about to brand the Arbiter who was once a Supreme Commander with the [[Mark of Shame]].]]

The game begins shortly after the events of ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. As it begins, we catch a small glimpse of the [[Covenant]] via a cut scene, for the first time learning a bit about their society, leadership and community. A [[Sangheili]] holding the rank of Supreme Commander is brought before the High Council, to be evaluated for his "colossal failure" in being unable to "safeguard" [[Installation 04]] from Master Chief. He is wrongfully accused of heresy, and sentenced to death.

He is wrongfully accused of heresy, and sentenced to death.

[[Master Chief]] is on ''[[Cairo Station]]'', one of the three hundred Orbital Defense Platforms on station at Earth. There, his armor is upgraded to Mark VI, and he is taken to a ceremony, celebrating the 'victory' at [[Alpha Halo]], or Installation 04, alongside Sergeant Major Avery Johnson and Commander Miranda Keyes. The player will go through some "diagnostics" such as if their aiming is correct, shields work, etc. As the ceremony takes place, the disgraced Sangheili Commander is tortured and branded by [[Chieftain]] of the Jiralhanae, Tarturus, with the [[Mark of Shame]]. At the [[Orbital Defense Platform]], the ceremony is interrupted when the High Prophet of Regret arrives in-system with a small Covenant fleet, attempting to destroy the station's [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]].
