   Summary

   Captain Lasky orders the Master Chief a two-week shore leave. Overwhelmed by his lack of armor and unused to the flow of civilian traffic, he parks himself on a bench and meets you. John thought he knew everything about himself, turns out you can still teach an old dog new tricks.

   P.S. a healthy mix of the TV show, the books, and the game is used here.
