## Plot

Noble Six meets the rest of Noble Team, shortly before they are dispatched to investigate why a communications relay has gone offline. They discover Covenant forces have invaded Reach. The team is relocated to defend Sword Base, an Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) installation, from a Covenant assault. After repelling the attack, Noble Team meets Catherine Halsey, a scientist and the mastermind behind the Spartan program and their MJOLNIR powered armor. Halsey inquires about Noble's engagement at the relay, suspecting the Covenant were attempting to retrieve highly classified ONI data from the site.

Jun and Six discover an invasion force gathering on the planet. The UNSC launches an assault the next morning to repel the invasion. Noble Team assists the strike force, targeting key artillery stations and command posts. A cloaked Covenant supercarrier reveals itself; lacking a conventional weapon to destroy the carrier, Jorge and Six smuggle a slipspace engine onto a Covenant corvette en route to refuel at the carrier. With the timer damaged, and knowing that he will not make it, Jorge entrusts Six with his dog tags, then forces him out of the hanger of the corvette, remaining behind to detonate the engine and destroying the Covenant super carrier. Another Covenant fleet arrives at Reach soon afterwards.

Back on Reach, Six assists with city defense and civilian evacuation at New Alexandria, and reunites with Noble Team, but Kat is killed by a Covenant sniper. Recalled to Sword Base for a demolition mission, Noble Team is redirected underground by Halsey to an ancient alien artifact, which she believes is vital to winning the war against the Covenant. Noble Team is entrusted with transporting the artificial intelligence Cortana and the data on the artifact to the UNSC *Pillar of Autumn*, docked at a shipyard. Jun leaves the team to escort Halsey off Reach.

En route to the *Pillar of Autumn*', Carter is critically wounded and sacrifices himself to allow Six and Emile to reach the shipyard. Emile uses a mass driver emplacement to defend the *Autumn* against aircraft while Six fights through Covenant ground forces to get Cortana to *Autumn*'s captain, Jacob Keyes. When Emile is slain by Elites, Six remains behind to operate the gun and destroys a Covenant supercarrier, ensuring the *Autumn*'s escape. Cortana, using the data from the alien artifact, leads the *Autumn* to a Halo ringworld, leading to the events of *Halo: Combat Evolved*. In a post-credits scene, Six fights a last stand against overwhelming Covenant forces, eventually dying to a Covenant elite. In 2560, Six's damaged helmet remains on the grassy plains of a now-restored Reach. A narration by Halsey eulogizes Noble Team, who enabled humanity's victory over the Covenant.
