Part 2/10:
The tale begins in the galaxy known as Branter, where urgent evacuation missions are becoming a grimly frequent necessity for humanity's surviving forces. Master Chief JN leads a squad of Spartans tasked with evacuating civilians who harbor deep resentment towards the UNSC (United Nations Space Command). As uneasy negotiations unfold, a sudden message alerts them to the presence of Covenant invaders, raising the stakes significantly when communication is severed with one of JN's teams positioned on a mountaintop.
