ONE MINUTE STORIES | EPISODE THREE

This is fleet commander Lucious pendragon broadcasting my final message to UNSC Command. Today I speak to you from the devastated planet Reach, where we are standing on the precipice of unimaginable loss. Our home, our bastion of hope, is under siege by an overwhelming force. Our defenders have fought valiantly, but we find ourselves facing an enemy that seems unstoppable.

As I speak, our brave soldiers, marines, and pilots are engaged in a desperate struggle for survival. They fight not just for Reach, but for the future of humanity itself. Their sacrifices will be remembered, and their courage will forever inspire us. It is with a heavy heart that I report the inevitable truth:
Reach is falling.

We have witnessed the might of the Covenant, a relentless and merciless foe. They have pushed us to the brink.
