Chapter 1: The Crash

When a UNSC Frigate ends up being overrun by the Flood, the only Spartan 1, known as Barracuda, is forced to fight through his former friends. He manages to reach the bridge and divert the ship away from Earth, by altering the Warp Path. As a result, the engine overloads and the ship ends up nearly tearing itself apart. The damaged craft drifts into the atmosphere of an uncharted planet.
