Prologue

It had been 2 years since the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn had split during a Slipspace transition and stranded John-117 and AI CTN 0452-9, better known as Cortana and the MasterChief, in deep space. Cortana had sent out a distress signal, but knew it could be years before they were found. The MasterChief went into cryostasis to await rescue but not before giving Cortana one final message. It was Wake me...when you need me.

Now after 2 long years, the UNSC has picked up on the signal and has sent a ship, Point of No Return, to find them. Now that ship is combing the debris field where the MasterChief is stranded...
