Sunrise on Sanghelios
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
Sunrise on Sanghelios is the third short story in the Halo Waypoint Chronicle series of shorts, written by Alex Wakeford.[1] The debut of the story was first teased at the Canon Fodder Live event on day one of the Halo World Championships 2023, with the story officially debuted in a live reading on the following day by Steve Downes, Keith David, and Jen Taylor - with Wakeford himself narrating the story between the actors' parts.[2] The story is scheduled to be released on Halo Waypoint in text form in a fashion similar to the other previous Waypoint Chronicles, alongside a clipped scene of the voice actors reading their lines.[3]
The short story is set immediately following the final cutscene of Halo 5: Guardians, and depicts the discussion between John-117, Thel 'Vadam, and Catherine Halsey following the game's events, with the live debut featuring all three characters' voice actors reprising their roles from the Halo games to depict them.[2] The scene is itself a fleshing out of the early chapters of the novel Halo: Bad Blood, in which the novel's protagonist Edward Buck had mentioned the trio convening for a brief conversation—though the details of such had been left out of the novel.
