Makee	Jan gaikhoji diibe ni Maduriga ni kheluuga ts'ukhijahe?	The relic on Madrigal was not where I predicted?
Mercy	Gaikhoji diibe ni juuts'uji.	It was precisely where you predicted.
Makee	Tkha jayetanjahe?	It did not make its way back to us? (It did not make its way back?)
Mercy	Chinji, k'aidon k'uucho ga.	Taken, from a kaidon warrior.
Makee	Jan mosik'weya.	I don’t understand.
Mercy	Ch'intan ch'adomo o -Ghashank'o zhi tkhaacho- tkha t'iyaq'ujen. K'e me mos ba.	He claims that the Spartan who took it, one known to our warriors as Demon, was able to bring it to life. As you can. (The Spartan who took it, one known as Demon, was able to bring it to life. As you can.)

Makee	Qkhe, jan--	Oh, I...
Mercy	Domo p'uko moq'asqas ii k'e ni tkhet'a ba muuri o, q'a qkhan ba mos ch'aamosik'ojaga.	You study the book of human stories not because they are your people, but so that you might better know the mind of our enemies.
Makee	Kkhagadza.	That's right.
Mercy	Jaja k'e o jan oni tkhaari ch'anaachaga. Nizhi jan o qkhan ch'aamosik'ojaga.	Perhaps at some point you will read them to me. So that I may also know the enemy.
Makee	Jan o k'e ba mosone juuch'inji, Q'iitu.	I appreciate your counsel, Mercy.

Episode 102: Unbound

Thel	Ch'anggagomo.	The sacred ring.
Makee	K'e satkhijahe?	You're sure?
Mercy	Oq'ogakha ba ts'uutsukho. Tkhahant'u ni.	It is one of the keystones. Finally.
Truth	Bit'a ba riin ngani pkha.	We must have it.
Makee	Chkhan ba jan o oq'ogakha khech'imijaga.	I will retrieve the keystone myself.
Regret	Niri ni k'e niinekhe, Hirajo.	Your place is here, Blessed One.
Makee	Jan ni diibe jan o iikuji. Jan o tkha q'unqijaga, k'e daaghajahe?	I know where I belong. Are you worried I'll forget?
Mercy	Ngajo o k'e p'uucho. Ch'adzumat'u zi khaayajo tkhunga p'uucho.	No one questions your loyalty. We question sending someone of your importance on such a hazardous mission.
Makee	K'iri o domo ba riikhe zi k'aachot’u ba aaleya q'a jan o aa'ala.	I can move among the humans in a way the rest of you cannot.
Mercy	Dzuutu nasa--	It is too dangerous--
Makee	Q'iitu, k'e o jan juuch'iiji. K'e o jan ch'anggonji, Oq'o Ch'awaruut'u oni jan q'onji. Ghaazhi k'e o jan oni ne tskha'iji, jan o riin oni ne waaka waqkhijaga. Jan o oq'ogakha maaroji. Tkha o qkhado ch'anggagomo oni riin gwijaga.	Mercy, you took me in. You tutored me, and taught me of the Great Journey. For what you have done for me, allow me to deliver this gift to us all. I will find the keystone. And it will lead us to the sacred ring.

Sangheili Guard	Jan ba ine q'unqa, Hirajo, q'a kheluuga nis ts'aheya - Maduriga ni.	Forgive me, Blessed One, but the artifact is no longer here on Madrigal.
Makee	Tkha nis ts'aheya jan o iik'uji. Q'a tkha ruut'iyaji, nguuka nis ga huunjo. Ine ba jaja atkha o tkha me la'ajo oni gwijaga.	I am aware it is no longer here. But it was active, radiating energy from this place. And that should be enough to lead us to its twin.
