2585, The war with the Covenant has been over 27 years. Even though there has been rebellions and revolts, the UNSC was able to stop them. Ever since the war's ending, technology has increased for humanity both military and civilian life. The United Nations was able to not only give there troopers better armor and shielding, but was able to improve existing ships and make new ones.

The famous Infinity-class supercarrier was able to increase to more than one ship, they was called: UNSC Master, UNSC Soul of Soldiers, and UNSC Chief. UNSC Frigates and Cruisers was given shield defenses and firepower made by Forerunner technology, making them very useful in independent operations. As for civilian life, people can enjoy free energy. Making even the poorest family being able to have light in there homes.

But before all the advancement made by the UNSC, in 2560, the heroes was allowed retirement. For John-117, it allow him to be able to leave the battlefield and experience life.

Soon John and his long time friend Linda began dating, opening him to the ability to love someone that isn't a hologram. As time goes on, he soon marries his long time ally and moved to Reach.

Soon in 2565, Samuel was born. John continues his service as a UNSC Spartan trainer, as for Linda, she work as a Law Enforcer in Reach. By 2070, Sam was showing signs of being like his father physically and mentally.

Soon John decides to train him into a future Spartan program, mostly by his physical abilities while his wife does his mental capabilities.

Five years passed, Sam was finishing his training. "Seems like you have improved over the past few years" John says as he walks to his 10 year old son. "Well, I got it from you sir" Sam claims.

"Well, today, we'll see how you are with instincts, now go see your mother" John soon walks back into the house. "John, I'm glad you aren't so hard on him this time" Says Linda.

John looks to him then back at her "He's improving, this can at least show he's a showing that he can be the next Spartan that I can trust to protect humanity". She continues to look at him then look to her son "Well, if a future threat does come, he should be ready if he's drafted" She says as she walks outside.

Sam and his mother continues with his mental training. "Okay, next part is to know which is your enemy and which is your ally. Sometimes your helmet can malfunction, so you'll need to learn how to trust your instincts" She says.

Soon five body boards comes up, "Now there are 4 that is an ally, but one is an enemy. Chose wisely" She stands back. Soon Sam pulls out a pistol and shoots the boards in the far left, "Nice job, you chose the correct one, training is over for tonight, rest up for tomorrow" Sam nods and walks back to the house.

Unknown to any UNSC military, a lone colony was enjoying the peace it has every since it was colonized before the Great War. But one day, a triangluar warship slips into the planet's atmosphere and deployed dropships onto the planet.

Soon troopers with White armor marches in and takes over the planet and it's resources, soon five other secret colonies was conquered, forming a new empire in the Milky Way.
