Line 4:
In this [[Alternate Universe Fic]], the Covenant probe attached to the UNSC ''Iroquois'' never managed to transmit Reach's location to the Covenant, setting back the battle for Reach. The SPARTAN-IIs embark on Operation Red Flag, the mission to capture a Prophet that was sleeved in canon when the Covenant came for Reach. In this, they will be aided by the crew and ODSTs of the ''Pillar of Autumn'', as well as two later-generation SPARTAN teams, one of which is [[Halo: Reach|Noble Team]].

=== This fanfic contains examples of the following: ===
 
* [[Ace Pilot]]: The author has declared that he wants to make more use of this aspect of Six's than we saw in canon.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Wa in combat.
Line 18 ⟶ 17:
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: Most of Spearhead has issues, but they are very good at what they do. Nicole compares them to the Flying Tigers.
* [[But for Me It Was Tuesday]]: Nicole is utterly nonplussed by Spearhead's antics.
* [[The Chains of Commanding]]:
{{quote|Things had been so much simpler when he was just a Master Chief.}}
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Halsey saying that "Six is just like John" and Six telling John that Carter had already brought up [[Halo: Reach|the lone wolf business]].
Line 65 ⟶ 64:
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Jonathan's entire shtick. One of his more noticeable accomplishments is that he took what was basically [[wikipedia:Model 24 grenade|a German Model 24 "potato masher" grenade"]], and then switched out the handle for a pipe bomb. Yes, that's right, he put a grenade ''on another grenade''.
** [[Memetic Mutation|Yo, we heard you like grenades...]]
* [[Super Soldier]]: All the SPARTANs, of course, but Wa and the Shock Trooper project of which he's the sole survivor take the enhancements [[Up to Eleven]], closer to [[Warhammer 4000040,000|Adeptus Astartes]] levels. The story postulates that, in this AU, the SPARTAN-III programme was shut down after the destruction of Beta Company and a new SPARTAN-IV programme set up, with Noble now coming from the IVs.
* [[Technology Porn]]: Here and there, especially Colonel Yang's rundown of the ''Autumn'''s new capabilities.
* [[This Is Gonna Suck]]: Captain Keyes has a minor one when he is told that the ''Autumn'' has been reclassified as a [[Glass Cannon|battlecruiser]].
