Vertical Umbrage

Vertical Umbrage is a short story written by 343 Industries and released on November 7, 2022, to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of the release of Halo 4. The story is set in early 2558 during the Requiem Campaign, concurrently with the Spartan Ops mission Everything Has Gone Wrong. The story follows the SPARTAN-IV soldiers of Fireteam Shadow as they board the Zanar-pattern light cruiser Panom's Canticle - a series of events overheard in the Spartan Ops level but not visualised.
