Prologue:

Master Chief and the arbiter awoke from several years of cryo during slipspace. Neither one knowing when nor where they were. Eventually after a very lengthy conversation with Cortana they discovered with much surprise that it was the year 2572 and that they were "in a galaxy far far away" unknown to even her. She also told them a war was going on here between two groups called the republic and the CIS. They also discovered that they already had an alliance with the CIS but that the republic did not yet know. Cortana told them that they should probably convince the republic that they were allies and appear to work for them. When the time comes they would turn on them, but not before the order was given.

The arbiter quickly agreed but chief wanted to know more about this strange place and both of these groups. Cortana understood and informed him of all she knew. After several hours of listening and learning about where he was chief finally agreed when cortana told him this was their best chance of survival

Cortana told them that in time they would have a large army and fleet under their command and that soon they could conquer this galaxy. The arbiter was very anxious but chief still didn't fully agree. He didn't like the thought of enslaving or possibly killing off an entire galaxy no matter how unknown or hostile. The arbiter told chief that they could probably get them to listen without too much innocent death. Cortana proved his point by telling them of a planet called kashyyyk were the main inhabitants are humanoid creatures covered in hair called wookies. We can gain their respect by a show of strength towards their leaders. Later I will figure out more about what exactly that strength will be. Finally chief fully agreed and they started getting prepared.

"Oh ya, I didn't want to worry you but our ship is damaged and about to crash on an uncharted planet," cortana said as the ship started to tilt.

"I'm not worried," said chief as he put on his helmet and exchanged a slight nod with the arbiter as they both slowly began to rise.
