Three days later

( A UNSC Pelican including an Autobot Elite Guard ship was seen hovered in orbit, drawn by Dominic's distress call. The two ships have drifted through the galaxy like silent sentinels, their metallic forms glinting against the endless sea of stars like a beacon of hope in the heart of the void.)

(Inside the Autobot Elite Guard ship, Thom is seen chatting with Spartan Phoenix and his teammates through the radio.)

Thom: Listen up everyone, Ultra Magnus has talked a distress beacon coming from a planet in the far side of the galaxy. The signal from Fire Team Augustus's leader Spartan Dominic, This morning Ultra Magnus tried to contact any of the members of Augustus. There was no response from them.. Our objectives is to locate the squad and gather information of this planet of where it came from.

(Thom activated a hologram of the planet.)

(As Thom deployed the holograph of the planet, silence fell over the dropship like a heavy curtain. Everyone's eyes we're locked onto the planet that was appearing on the screen. Its surface burned a deep crimson, like a wound carved into the galaxy itself. Jagged mountain ranges that's stretched across the horizon like broken tooth, while swirling dust storms crawled over the terrain, painting a picture of a world long abandoned by life. The sight was haunting, a silent reminder that something or perhaps everything had gone terribly wrong.)

Spartan Kingsley: What in the name of the -?

Spartan Halvardson: Good god it looks like it was extinct? The planet looked like it's covered in blood?

(In the cockpit where Kevin and Taylor we're at, Kevin's face looked horrified to seeing the planet in a drone view looking like a dead planet with no life.)

Kevin: I-Is it just me?

Taylor: Oh good god, i think I'm about to throw up!! (He held his lips with both hands)

Spartan Phoenix: The planet. It looks all, reddish.

Thom: That's where Ultra Magnus picked up the signal, and where it was sent from. This planet also involved another Spartan team

Spartan Phoenix: Who may that be if i may ask son?

Thom: Fire Team Helios. 

Spartan Hunter: Fire Team Heilios? They we're there in the planet as well>

(Hunter stood up from his seat behind Commander Phoenix.)

Thom: Yes, According to Silverbolt, they were deployed here to retrieve data and DNA from something inside the planet. Whatever it is, I'm guessing it's not human... maybe something alien.

Spartan Phoenix: Damn... Anything else we should know before we deploy?

Thom: Yes... Ultra Magnus want's to locate and retrieve the rest of the Spartan team, whether if it's a whole squad or not, we still have to retrieve them. His next objectives we're to gather intel about that planet, including it's species and nature inside the planet. Please be advised, incase if we run into anything hostile in the planet we have to execute them at once, who knows what maybe inside the planet.. That is all everyone, start gearing up.

(Thom ended the video log and started to control the ship as they entered the planet already.)
