Kyle, Jason's brother, runs into Jason's bedroom of his apartment to wake Jason up. Kyle is breathing heavily. Someone was standing behind him. "Jason.., someone wants to talk to you." Kyle stammers, his strong Russian accent clinging to his words. "Who the hell wants to talk to me this early in the damn morning Kyle?" Jason says sleepily. The woman behind Kyle begins to speak. "You are Jason Romanov Ignatius Freeman, Spartan 357 are you not?" the woman said. Jason is immediately awake at hearing his name and his Spartan number being used in the same sentence. "Yes, I am he, ma'am" Jason says in his deep booming voice, "What is your name ma'am?" Jason asked. "My name is Halsey. I and my team of recruiters have been watching you. We know of your past services on Requiem and Reach. You are being called out of retirement, Major Freeman. Suit up. A warthog is waiting outside for you." Without another word, she left.
Jason immediately goes to the armory he built in his apartment building's basement. He opens the steel doors to reveal a slightly narrow room. On one side are armor pods each containing his and his brother's armor sets, and on the other side, are their service weapons. Jason goes over to his best armor set and releases it. This set contains an ODST helmet with a silver visor, ODST shoulder pauldrons, Collar/Grenadier chest plate, GUNGIR knee guards, a tactical TACPAD on his left arm, and a modified shield generator. This armor set is colored black and blue for his old squad "The Bruisers". After he suits up, he grabs his weapons. He grabs an M16A4 assault rifle he modified to fire standard assault rifle rounds, equpped with an EOTech sight, and a Masterkey underbarrel shot gun. He equips a Desert Eagle as his sidearm, and a seven inch long battle knife as his melee weapon, and goes back upstairs to meet his ride. "Took ya' long enough!" a marine said. Jason gets in the hog without a word.
When Jason arrives at the base in Area 51, he is greeted again by Halsey. "Good evening Major Freeman," she says trying her hardest to keep her tone even. Even Halsey is afraid of Jason. Jason responds saying "Good evening, Doctor. Lets' get this over with. What's the mission?" "Let me take you to the briefing room first, Major" was the response. In the briefing room, holograms of different commanders and generals were projected around a table. At the sight of Jason, they saluted which is odd because most of them outrank Jason. 'That's new' Jason thought. Immediately, Cpt. Lasky of the UNSC Infinity speaks. "We have detected that the Prometheans have returned. They just gave us a hell of an entrance by taking Haumea, and are already shooting up Besdilore. We need you to join the resistance there and help put a stop to the invaders." Jason says immediately, "Who is on that planet, Captain Lasky? I must know this. Are they Spartan? Marine?" Lasky responds, "Both, Major. Halsey, get that man on a ship and set it on a course to the Infinity. Jason, I wish to brief you and deploy you in person." Jason exits the briefing room and immediately boards a transport to the Infinity.
