Ensign McNamee looked at his overview console, as always, it was blank. Nothin but blank space out there. He checked his watch, two more hours till his shift was done. No idiot was gonna just fly outta the blue and trigger the alarms, this is Earth after all. One of the safest places in the whole galaxy.

Then the alarms went off. The Ensign stared around in disbelief, he checked the monitor. It was a tiny anomally, a UNSC tag on it, it was a slipspace pod. He turned on his COM "unidentified UNSC vessel please respond"

There was a very long pause, it felt like the longest period of time in the Ensigns life.

"This is Spartan S13" Sean replied "Terra squad ghosts of reach"
