| In the comic, the Master Chief is depicted in an unknown ship of apparent Forerunner design, with doors very similar to the sort found in [[343 Guilty Spark]] and a room similar to the one which contains a [[Seraph]] in the Halo 2 level [[The Arbiter]]. He is contacted by a base on Io, one of Jupiter's moons, but demands silence and moves on, crushing the Covenant who engage him. As this happens, the scene cuts to an interrogation of [[Colonel James Ackerson]], captured by the Covenant aboard the Covenant Cruiser [[Triumphant Declaration]]. He is about to be killed in celebration of the defeat of Earth before he vexingly states that if "[The Covenant] attack earth...[they will] never find the key.". The Brute Captain is intruiged by this and uses a large knife to lacerate Ackerson until he reveals that this key, if not found, will force the Halos to malfunction "like they did before", that it is hidden in the city of [[Cleveland]], and that it is called the [[Key of Osanalan]]. Before he can reveal more he either falls unconscious or dies, leaving the Brutes confused and worried. A new, self-doubting character named [[Ruwan]] is introduced who serves as a concierge for a high-line motel in Cleveland under attack by the Covenant. He meets [[Myras Tyla]], a performer staying there who comandeers several weapons from a dead marine and manages to escape with Ruwan. They try to flee in vehicles but find the road blocked, and are finally herded together with what seems to be most of the population of the area into a stadium, where the Covenant declare that to live they must find and give to them the Key of Osanalan. Myras is confused, but Ruwan states with certainty that he "knows exactly what that is."

| The Chief, in the meantime, finds himself faced by an extremely large force of Covenant troops, including at least three Hunter Pairs who fire on him simultaneously. He is hit by several beams and falls to the floor. A Brute Chieftan begins to crush him with his boot, saying that the Chief will tell them where the Key is...after they remove enough parts of his body.
