Introduction

Halo is an American military science fiction television series developed by Kyle Killen and Steven Kane for the streaming service Paramount+, loosely based on the video game franchise of the same name.

Produced by Showtime Networks, 343 Industries, Amblin Television, One Big Picture, and Chapter Eleven, the series follows a 26th-century war between the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) and the Covenant, a theocratic-military alliance of several advanced alien races determined to eradicate the human race.

Pablo Schreiber and Jen Taylor star as Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 and Cortana, with the latter reprising her role from the video game series, and are joined by Natascha McElhone, Yerin Ha, Bokeem Woodbine, Shabana Azmi, Olive Gray, Charlie Murphy, Kate Kennedy, Bentley Kalu, Natasha Culzac, and Danny Sapani.

Outline

John, Halsey, Soren, Laera, and Kwan land near ONI’s secret headquarters on Onyx. John serves as a distraction, taking on ONI forces and willingly being captured before fighting through in an attempt to confront Parangosky; this allows Soren and Laera to search for Kessler at the ONI training facility. Kwan and Halsey enter a Forerunner cavern; at the end of the cavern, they run into science personnel led by Miranda Keyes. Meanwhile, Perez, now a trainee in the SPARTAN-III programme, argues with Kai over their training simulation. Kai questions Ackerson about this, and he reveals the partial truth about Reach to her, but tells her John is working for the Covenant. Kai confronts John, who reveals their teammates’ fates and ONI’s attempts to sabotage them. Though John allows Kai to beat him up on Ackerson’s orders, he reasons with her to reconsider ONI’s narrative and go against Ackerson. Cortana contacts Parangosky and provides data on her location, and secretly leads John to the keystone still in UNSC hands. A Covenant priest, named Uto ‘Mdama, detects Cortana’s transmission and orders Var to execute Makee, but he and his loyalists slaughter ‘Mdama’s assembly instead, protecting Makee as she reaches for their captured keystone.
