''The scene cuts to a lecture theatre. A number of cadets stand around a [[holotank]]. [[Mehaffey]] leads the lecture. The hologram shows a battle plan of the [[wikipedia:Battle of Cannae|Battle of Cannae]].''
 
*'''[[Colonel]] [[Mehaffey]]''': "The [[Wikipedia:Pincer movement|pincer movement]]. Red represents the Romans' troops. Blue Hannibal's. When the Romans attacked, Hannibal's cavalry galloped in from behind. The Romans were completely surrounded."
 
*'''[[Junjie Chen]]''': "How do we apply this?"
 
''The scene switches briefly to a number of [[Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle]]s falling through the atmosphere.''
 
*'''Colonel Mehaffey''': "Drop behind enemy lines... attack from the rear.. and neutralize."
 
''Between Mehaffey's lines, the scene switches back and forth to the cadets advancing through gunfire in a forest on an exercise. They take cover.''

*'''[[Thomas Lasky]] (exhausted)''': "You're gonna get us all killed."

*'''Thomas Lasky''': "Go!"
 
''Cadets scramble and fall down as explosions continue to pepper. Michael Sullivan speaks into a wall-mounted intercom unit.''
 
*'''Michael Sullivan''': "Mayday!"
 
''The camera cuts around the room frantically. A door is burst from its hinges. A [[Stealth Sangheili]] approaches the cadets, creating a ripple in a pool of water.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/Content/assets/en-us/Podcast/343Sparkast_014.mp3 '''343 Sparkast 014''']</ref> As the cadets cower, an MA5 is heard discharging outside the room and the Sangheili lets out a quick scream. As the cadets cower, John-117 steps through the doorway.''
 
*'''[[John-117]]''': "Stay close to me. I'm your best chance for survival."

*'''Thomas Lasky''': "You okay?"
 
*'''Chyler Silva''': "Go!"
 
''The combat continues. Two cadets in battle dress are seen locking hands. Silva, tired, closes her eyes in despair.''
