Detailed Summary
In the comic, the Master Chief is depicted in the Forerunner Dreadnought 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 but then he was attacked by a robot space monkeyby 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 commandeers 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 Master 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.

Trivia
- In the comic, it shows Master Chief being hit by Fuel Rod Guns from Hunters. Seeing as how possibly 6 beams hit him, it is highly unlikely that he would have survived. In previous Halo novels, a Spartan (without shielding) got their arm blown off by a Fuel Rod Gun from a Hunter. If 6 beams hit the Chief, then it should have killed him, despite the fact that he had shields. It could be possible though that the beams were on low power, with an intent to stun.
- It should be noted that the Jackals who capture Ruwan and Myras are the kind which appears in Halo 3, while the ones who are onboard the Forerunner Dreadnaught are Halo 2 jackals. It may be possible that the two different kinds indicate an origin from different landscapes on their homeworld, or something like that.
