John-117 - Master Chief
I looked at the screen.
"This Is Doctor Monk, I got some bad news."
"You guys are on planet?"
"Have been for a couple days, our mutual friends there?"
"Yes."
"I'm sending information packages. It concerns the Great Journey, concerns a whole bunch of things. The direct information logs are stored on the following sites... Apparently the enemy was keeping a lot of very dirty secrets here."
"Got it. See you there"

The enemy fleet opened fire and then the Front slipspaced in.
UNSC, Front, alien rebels, all of us worked as one to chop the enemy fleet into pieces. We landed hard and fought our way on the ground, warthogs and other vehicles. The enemy fought hard, I remembered the spray of plasma in the air. The facility we hit... well we found out what the Great Journey was, found out what those rings would do if they were allowed to fire.
The ring had to be destroyed. It had been set to go off by one of their Prophets, if that signal went off all life in the galaxy would die. The agreement went out and we set up one of our ships to explode. I took my warthog and raced out as fellow Spartans and Athenians helped cover our escape, many of them knowing they would die. I remember running my car as fast as possible, just thinking one thought: I had to get back to her.
Had to get back to Cortana. I gunned my engine until it died and made my way to a crashed ship. I flew off with others and, with that done, I watched the Halo array, the most deadly weapon ever to be created, be destroyed. This was a big win and with the intel we gathered... I think the war was going to end soon, one way or another.
