What began as a high-profile hero story quickly turns into a full-blown investigation. Sources claim they know the “real Master Chief”: The boy, the soldier, the hero…the traitor? But who’s telling the truth?

S1.00. PRIMER

Master Chief was born in the metropolis of Elysium City. Then known as John, he grew up like any kid in the Outer Colonies. Childhood playmates and school teachers share charming stories. But what happens when a single document throws everything into question?

S1.01. A HAIRLINE FRACTURE

An obscure record from the far reaches of the galaxy contradicts everything. Government officials and conspiracy theorists weigh in. Stories of a remarkable young man are once again torn down by conflicting accounts.

S1.02. BAD RECORDS

Conversations with retired military paint very different pictures of John. More questions arise about John’s home planet and his involvement in a violent training incident. The cracks in the official account widen.

S1.03. CRITICAL CONDITION

Rumors of discontent across the military and rumblings in the Outer Colonies are cause for concern, but a mandatory meeting at ONI headquarters may bring greater repercussions.

S1.04. CROSSING THE BLACK

A visit deep inside ONI branch headquarters brings unexpected results. A voice from the past returns. And an in-flight incident sparks a flame that can't be put out.

S1.05. OUT OF TIME

With major questions about the Master Chief now out on the open network, a flood of feedback and theories come in from all corners of human space. Rumors spread that ONI has fabricated elaborate lies, but why? What are they covering up? Has the investigation now put everyone's lives at risk?

S1.06. BOXING STORY

They’ve been inundating my inbox with messages like these around the clock for the past four days: voices from all corners of inhabited space, a staggering sample size of factual testimonials, and a deluge of theories in every shape and color imaginable.

Earlier this week I released the beginning of my story, the hunt for truth about the Master Chief, posing a large, messy question to anyone who might listen. And now, even though I wasn’t sure how to process all of it, answers were flooding in—I suddenly had direct access to a hive mind that spanned the galaxy, and it was buzzing loud.

S1.07. WHO'S LISTENING

FERO drops a bomb that ripples throughout human-occupied space, calling the Master Chief's allegiances into question. Did the Master Chief do that? Or are there more nefarious elements at play? 

S1.08. DRIP, DRIP, DRIP

A new report surfaces about a Spartan abductee, but there's no time to check the facts. FERO is missing, and the Senate meeting is about to begin.

S1.09. PHANTOMS

Freshman Senator Andrew Del Rio wastes no time turning Biko into an anti-Chief campaign, but news from the Outer Colonies tells a very different story. With the truth about the Spartan program hanging in the balance, how far will ONI go to bury it?

S1.10. GAG ORDER

The window on Petra's lead is closing. With only 72 hours to get past ONI and into Deep Space, it'll take a miracle--or a timely intervention--to keep the story on track.

S1.11. DOWN TO THE BONE

Petra warns against the dangers of going public, but the gears are already grinding on one last, big plan. It's time to burn ONI once and for all.
