The ninth season of the American action comedy science fiction animated/machinima web series Red vs. Blue premiered on June 14, 2011, and concluded on November 14, 2011, The series is loosely based in the Halo universe and is produced by Rooster Teeth Productions.
Season 9 is the first season in the Project Freelancer Saga, as it follows two apparently separate but connected storylines. The first storyline is set in the present that details events that play out in the Epsilon AI's memories of Blood Gulch, which are depicted with the Halo: Reach engine. The second storyline is a prequel, set before the events of Red vs. Blue: The Blood Gulch Chronicles, detailing events concerning Project Freelancer at its peak and is depicted using pre-rendered CGI rather than the Halo: Reach engine, allowing for action sequences and settings outside of the maps provided in Halo: Reach. It is not known until Episode 20 what happens to the characters following Revelation.
Unlike Revelation, machinima and original footage are not blended; each animation type is entirely separate and represent different eras of the Red vs. Blue storyline.
This season follows two different but connected storylines. The present storyline follows Epsilon Church as he relives memories from Blood Gulch in the AI Capture Unit from Season 8, but tries to fix them when the Reds and Blues aren't acting like themselves. The past storyline is set before the start of The Blood Gulch Chronicles, following the agents of Project Freelancer in their peak against a rogue UNSC faction.
In the past, a dropship makes an emergency landing at a medical station. On board are Director Leonard Church and Freelancer agents Washington and Maine. The latter requires emergency surgery, having been shot in the throat; an injury that will leave him unable to speak. The Director asks Washington how 'simulation troopers' were able to hurt Maine. Washington claims that he and Maine were caught by surprise. After the Director leaves, Washington talks with Agent York about his concerns regarding the directions Project Freelancer is taking. The trailer ends with several action clips from the series proper.
