Commanding Officer - Lord Hood
Senior Officer - Commander Miranda Keys
"Commander, would you mind explaining why the command center is in such a frenzy?" Lord Hood asked. Earths central command center was in chaos.
"My apologies sir. Nobody had any clue what exactly happened. All we know was that one of our frigates, the UNSC Flagstaff came in contact with what appeared to be a derelict Cruiser named the Inquisitor. Then both ships disappeared." Commander Miranda Keys replied.
"A derelict Covenant Cruiser?"
"Yes sir, when the Flagstaff approached the vessel something teleported both of them into oblivion. We don't know what did this, or where they ended up," Keys replied.
"Was there anything of importance on board the Flagstaff?"
"Only a group of Spartans known as Shadow Squadron Sir, and about a thousand personnel,"
"Shadow Squadron?" Lord Hood asked.
"Yes sir, here's their dossier," Keys said handing Lord Hood a portable personnel database, showing the Spartan team on it.

-END OF DOCUMENT-
"I see," Lord Hood said, "I thought that the Master Chief was the only surviving Spartan?"
"As of now, he is," Keys said, "but ONI kept Shadow Squadron on a strict 'need to know' bases. They've been used mostly for special operations against the Covenant and the Insurrections before them. Torch and Burn ops, Reconnaissance, Intelligence Gathering, and so forth. Though nothing we've gotten will ever be as huge as the discovery of Halo and The Flood."
"Shadow Squadron was one of the last hopes humanity had left. God help them wherever they end up."
On board the UNSC Flagstaff
"We've entered the atmosphere."
"Find us some place to set us down Captain."
"I'm trying to, there's more water than land here, and most land isn't big enough to land on."
"There! That patch of land should work."
"Indeed. This is Captain Mendoza to all hands. Brace for a Hard Landing!"
"Shadow Squadron, this is Ghost-257, Brace for Impact!"
The UNSC Flagstaff hit the ground hard, launching all in the bridge forward.
And that's chapter 1. I added what their armor looks like so you can visualize it as you read. If anybody wanted they could set up their Spartans on Halo Reach to get a more accurate picture. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it.
