'''Before the Storm''' is the eleventh campaign level of ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

==Transcript==
'''{''Cutscene''}'''

''Fade in to the canyon where the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] are stationed. A Phantom carrying [[Fireteam Osiris]] and slows to a hover over a ledge to land.''

===TO THE HUNT===

'''{''Gameplay''}'''

''[[Jameson Locke]] and the other Spartans drop down from the Phantom. A Sword of Sanghelios [[Sangheili Storm|Storm Elite]] runs past. The [[Forerunner]] [[Constructor]] also exits the Phantom and begins flying away.''

*'''[[Olympia Vale]]''': "There goes the Constructor."

*'''Locke''': "When it activates the [[Guardian]], we hit [[Sunaion]]. Let's report in to [[Sarah Palmer|Palmer]]."

''If the player stalls''

*'''[[Catherine Halsey]] (COM)''': "Spartans, the Constructor seems to working as planned, but it could take some time. Palmer was looking for you."

====Reporting to Palmer====

''Commander Sarah Palmer is speaking to the Arbiter [[Thel 'Vadam]], at his meeting tent.''

*'''Arbiter''': "Everything is prepared. We will begin when the Constructor is ready."

*'''Palmer''': "Halsey set the calibration. Let us take care of the guns. Just make sure you come through with that air support."

''If the player speaks to Palmer.''

*'''Locke''': "Commander? Mission complete. Doctor Halsey has the Constructor."

*'''Palmer''': "Good work, Osiris. Once Halsey has the Constructor sorted, Arbiter's people can move on Sunaion, and I'll get her off world."

====Reporting to Halsey====

''Dr. Halsey is at the Constructor control balcony. She waves when the player comes close.''

*'''Halsey''': "Osiris? Come look at this!"

''If the player speaks to her.''

*'''Halsey''': "I'm using this structure to upload the recording from Meridian into the Constructor. Make sure you're ready to go when I give the signal."

*'''Locke''': "Standing by, Doctor."

*'''Halsey''': "Get comfortable. It could be hours before- I take it back! It's headed for Sunaion! It's moving toward the Guardian!"

*'''Locke''': "Arbiter! It's time!"

''Fade to black''

'''{''Cutscene''}'''

''Fade in to Swords Banshees and a Sword Phantom zooming over the sky. On the ground, the Arbiter lifts his lit energy sword, the [[Prophet's Bane]].''

*'''Arbiter''': "Today the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant faction|Covenant]] will fall! [[Sanghelios]]! will be free!"

''The other Storm Elites roar and light their energy swords. They then walk to their dropships, the Spartans and Halsey following.''

*'''Halsey''': "You know what I did to create the Spartans. All in the name of the greater good."

*'''Locke''': "Doctor, we don't have time-"

*'''Halsey''': "[[Cortana]] is built from a matrix of my own mind. The [[Domain]] gives her incredible power."

*'''Locke''': "I understand."

''Locke turns and begins to walk away.''

*'''Halsey''': "Spartan Locke!"

''Locke turns to face Halsey.''

*'''Halsey''': "Stop her. But please. Bring John home to me."

''Halsey looks at Locke pleadingly. Fade to black.''

''Level ends.''

-==Trivia==
-*There is an [[Mission Intel|Intel Log]] where [[Murok 'Vadam]] led the Covenant to the Arbiter at the [[Elder Council Chamber]], and was summarily executed for his betrayal. According to the novel ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'', Murok was not the [[Koida 'Vadam|first known member]] of Thel's [[House of Vadam|keep]] to betray him and eventually die at his hands. Him assassinating  the last Covenant Elites was his introduction scene to this game, while him killing his would-be-assassins was his introduction in the aforementioned novel.
-===Easter eggs===
-*In this level, there is an [[Mission Intel|Intel Log]] where a Unggoy named [[Gribyam]], self-proclaimed biologist, was observing Dr. Halsey, and coming up with very absurd notes of Human biology.
