Stories

What they find is a peril more deadly and terrifying than any Human threat.

2: Armor Testing: The only way to test Spartan armor, is to send a Spartan. The question is what's really being tested? The power of the Mjolnir Mark VI battle armor, or the mettle of the ODSTs trying to find its weaknesses?

3: Breaking Quarantine:  One of the untold tales from Halo is Sergeant Johnson's escape from the clutches of the Flood menace. Now's the time to reveal how the UNSC's toughest Marine got out of an inescapable trap.
