The Dawn never found Requiem. Cortana is forced to make a great sacrifice, leaving the Master Chief alone in space. Hundreds of years later, the wreck is discovered on the fringes of inhabited space by bounty huntress Samus Aran. What she finds inside is neither man nor machine, but either way, it is broken... and yet it is strong. Part 1 in a trilogy. Complete, awaiting Part 2.

A cold and ruthless Lone Wanderer leads a solitary life in Rivet City after a series of ethically questionable decisions compels her to take a second look at what she has become… or what she has always been. Often at odds with the principled and stern Harkness, she comes to terms with the notion that between her and the android, she is the one more suited for a mechanical heart.
