* "They've been waiting outside the planet for three years?" 
* "Asking's not my strong suit."
* "[[Requiem]]. At least we know where we are now." 
* "That can't be right. Scan again." 
* "You mean the planet's hollow?"

=== [[Forerunner (level)|Forerunner]] ===

=== [[Infinity (Halo 4 level)|Infinity]] ===
* "Something tells me that's only because the Didact wanted it that way."

* "Sierra One One Seven to Infinity, what's our status?"

* "The Didact has to be stopped. If [[Andrew Del Rio|you]] won't do that... I will."
* "No, Sir."
* "Get word to Earth that trouble is coming. Cortana and I will do what we can back here."

* "Send me your coordinates. I'll see what I can do about clearing an evac route on my way to you."
* "What can we do to keep the Covenant out?"
* "The device you recovered was a Forerunner weapon. The commander of [[Mantle's Approach|that ship]] wants it back."
* "We don't have any choice, doctor."
* "If we can't move the Composer, we have to make sure the Didact can't either."
* "I'm sorry, doctor. Keep routing your people to the evac centers. Once we take care of the Composer, you won't have much time." 
* "Doctor Tillson, the Composer's location's been compromised. You've got to get the nuke down here!"
* "Ready or not, I need it now!"
* "Cortana, see if you can raise Tillson. Get me a status on the rest of the station." 
* "Cortana, I need that info! (''sigh'') Look... don't think about the Didact. Don't think about the Composer. Only focus on finding me Tillson."
* "Didact's taken the Composer. Get these people to the evac centers!" 
* "Cortana. It's not over. Not yet."

=== [[Midnight]] ===
* "The Didact's got the Composer. We're in a Broadsword carrying a HAVOK-grade payload, on approach to deliver it."

*“He's moving the Composers into position!”
*“Double time, Blue.”

===''[[Halo: Escalation Issue 10|Issue #10]]''===
*“I do not remember my name. I do not remember my family. I do not remember my home. But I can remember the game. We played it everyday. And I never lost. The game… it's the only thing I can remember about the life I had before I met Doctor Halsey. Since then, I have experienced a lifetime of combat. Through thirty years of war against alien aggressors… I have always known my fate. I knew someday I would die in battle. But now that it is here… now that it is time to die… I find I am not ready.” — Internal monologue, while having head crushed by the [[Ur-Didact]]
