Prologue
March 2, 2554
UNSC Reserve Base Camp Hayes
North America
"Spartans never die."
That was their motto, and in a sense it was true. The courage of a Spartan never wavered, or so people said; it was one reason that they became the heroes they were. No one knew, though, how hard a Spartan's life really was, except for the Spartans themselves—even then, they accepted it as their lot in life, all but one.
John sat quietly underground, watching as two young infants slept in their respective cribs. Nearby he could hear the sounds of an operation going on, but his curiosity was not aroused; he knew it was an attempt to save someone who wasn't supposed to exist, an experiment that had led to the creation of himself and his teammates. She only had a slim chance of survival at best, but he knew she was strong enough to make it through—hadn't she proven herself time and again?
"Spartans never die."
Except they did, he'd seen it often enough. He'd watched his team, the only family he'd known, die protecting the UNSC. And now he knew he could easily lose the last remaining member of the SPARTAN-II project, the last family he had, apart from the two children in front of him, his children.
He didn't know what had happened to Fred and the others—they'd been sent to Zeta Doradus on a mission, after the UNSC had been contacted by Dr. Halsey. Dr. Halsey, who had kidnapped one of his teammates, but he trusted it was for a good reason. She had always looked out for them as best she could, he trusted her and believed she was helping in her own way.
He hoped that they were still alive.
