'''Synopsis'''<br>
The first issue opens with a meeting between SPARTAN-II washout [[Musa]] and several [[Admiral|admirals]] in January [[2553]], discussing the importance of the [[SPARTAN-II Program|SPARTAN-IIs]] during the [[Human-Covenant War|war]] and its moral implications. Musa argues that despite the defeat of the Covenant, their [[Covenant remnant|remnants]], as well as resurgent [[Insurrectionist|human rebels]], still pose a major threat and reveals that he has initiated [[SPARTAN-IV Program|a new generation]] of Spartans to combat them. The story then goes three months back, to [[2552#October|October 2552]], with a group of [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODSTs]] led by Sarah Palmer being deployed into combat.
In [[2553#January|January 2553]], [[Lieutenant Commander]] [[Musa]], 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 Chieftain|Brute 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 Brute 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.
