: " It is 2553, and the three-decade long Covenant War that defined a
: generation has suddenly drawn to a close. Yet, in the remotest parts of
: human space, tensions remain that threaten to overflow into another
: full-scale conflict. Beneath the surface of the planet Gao lies a vast
: cavern system renowned for its therapeutic effects and rumored miraculous
: cures. But now Gao natives are turning up brutally murdered down there –
: violent acts that happen to coincide with the recent arrival of a UNSC
: research battalion protected by Spartan Blue Team, led by the renowned
: Spartan-II Fred-104.
: Maverick detective Veta Lopis of the Gao Ministry of Protection is only
: trying to do her job as the Special Inspector assigned to catch a serial
: killer – one who is possibly hiding within the Spartan ranks – but she
: never anticipates the situation spiraling out of control into an all-out
: crisis. When Gao is revealed to harbor ancient Forerunner technology that
: could solidify the UNSC’s military supremacy for centuries to come,
: Insurrection loyalists within the planetary government will do anything –
: even align with a vicious faction of what remains of the Covenant – to
: ensure that never happens…. "
I fully expect Gao and its magical healing caverns to be the galaxy's hippie capital and top destination for spiritual pilgrimages.
Other than that the story is seeming very traditional. Game-changing Forerunner tech, everyone wants it, and it has to be destroyed in the end. The detective angle is something new, though. I hope the serial killer doesn't turn out to be one of the Spartan-IIIs. Have the IVs defect all you want but keep that out of Nylund's plucky Spartan babies. It could be that the killer is someone else and the summary is just giving us a red herring, though.
