Intro
Begins as the Pillar of Autumn exits slip-space and its crew discovers a large ringworld structure of unknown origin. UNSC Pillar of Autumn had been followed through Slipspace by around a dozen Covenant ships, who ultimately engaged the Autumn and sent several boarding parties to board the ship. Captain Jacob Keyes orders John and Guest to be woken from Cryosleep. The Covenant pursues the Pillar of Autumn and attacks. With the ship heavily damaged, the Pillar of Autumn's captain, Jacob Keyes, entrusts the ship's artificial intelligence (AI) known as Cortana to Master Chief and Guest in order to prevent the Covenant from discovering the location of Earth. Keyes orders the crew to abandon the Pillar of Autumn while he stays with the ship until the end, taking manual control to guide it into a crash landing on the Halo ring. He sees it as his duty to secure the ship's safety.
