Introduction

Careening up into the Shield World, the Spirit of Fire grazes a Covenant Destroyer, damaging its Power Core. After a vicious retaliation and a quick fix, Anders is discovered, and attempts are made to rescue her from the planet’s surface. Once a major Covenant threat is nullified, an FTL Reactor Core is moved into position, and inserted deep into the Apex Site Base. Forge faces his ultimate threat, as he battles the Arbiter to activate the Core, as an all-out evacuation and Shield World detonation is attempted.
