Planet Reach, August 2552 Somewhere outside the fallen city of New Alexandria "Why are we running?", the female Spartan asked, as she picked her way through the brush. " We should be fighting.." she continued. The female was wearing what was once Yellow and Purple Reconnaissance armor, but it had become damaged in a recent engagement. The male Spartan ahead of her stopped and waved his arms about wildly, screaming obscenities only he could hear.  He turned to her, " We're NOT running.  Tactical retreat.

Ch. 1 Spartan Commander Rachel Auri sits down in her quarters mulling over a few battle reports she received within the last few hours.
