| “ | Enter the Nexus and discover its true purpose. | ” |
Nexus is the eleventh campaign main mission in Halo Infinite, under the fifth campaign section "Reformation".
Overview[edit]
| “ | Chief and the Weapon breach the Nexus, a part of the Ring's substructure meant to direct the Spires in the reconstruction of Zeta Halo. The Weapon attempts to infiltrate the Nexus's systems, but is intercepted by the Harbinger, seeking to use the AI to gain full control of the Ring. Chief activates a failsafe routine to delete the Weapon, but is denied by the Weapon herself, who severs the link to the Harbinger. Chief and the Weapon proceed to the Command Spire. | ” |
Nexus marks the point of no return for the game, as upon completing the mission, the game will immediately begin The Command Spire, which starts Repository on its completion, and so on. Thus, the player will not be able to do any side missions until after the completion of the main campaign.
Transcript[edit]
{Gameplay}
Level begins where the previous one left off.
- John-117: "Where now?"
- Weapon: "Down... I guess."
- John-117: "You guess?"
- Weapon: "Yeah. This is all new. Fresh."
With nowhere else to go, the Chief starts heading downward.
- Weapon: "The Nexus appears to be below the gravity lift into the Spire. We need to find it."
The Chief encounters a Banished squad.
- Unggoy 1: "If we kill him here, we'll make the Hand of Atriox for sure."
- Unggoy 1: "That means there's TWO open spots on the roster!"
The Chief clears the room of Banished and moves on to the next room, which contains additional Banished troops.
- Weapon: "More Banished? (annoyed) How come they're here?"
- John-117: "To protect the Harbinger."
- Weapon: "Clearly. Will it work?"
- John-117: "What do you think?"
- Weapon: "If I told you what I... Oh, I get it. Sarcasm. You're funny, too."
The Chief encounters more Banished.
- Sangheili: "Our orders are to protect the Harbinger at all costs! Fight!"
The Chief fights his way through more Banished, as well as the Harbinger's Skimmers.
- Jiralhanae: "Bring the demon down! The Reformation will not be stopped!"
The Chief enters a room containing a hologram of the Command Spire.
- Weapon: "Look at that! The hologram. It looks like the Spire above us. We're heading in the right direction."
After killing all the Banished in the room, the Chief heads down a corridor, up a ramp, and into a room with a window that overlooks the floor below.
- Whispers: "Darkness had stretched its color. Deep blue across the pane. No cloud to make night duller. No moon with its tarnish stain."
The Chief exits the room through one of the doors on either side and heads down to the lower level. He fights through more Banished, including a Sangheili Warlord and a Spec Ops Sangheili.
- Sangheili Warlord: "The Harbinger's work must be completed! You will go no further, human!"
The Chief kills these high ranking enemies and continues down a corridor.
- Whispers: "Now in this hour of waking from under brows of stone - a new pale day is breaking and the deep night is gone."
The Chief continues his search for the Nexus, battling more Banished, including a Mgalekgolo pair. After a lengthy fight, he kills both Hunters. He then activates a piston, which raises itself and reveals an opening in the floor.
- Weapon: "Well... that's different. What now?"
- John-117: "Down."
The Chief jumps into the opening and slides down a long winding tunnel.
- Weapon: (squealing with excitement) "Wahoo!" (laughs)
The Chief lands.
- Weapon: "That was fun. Wanna do it again?"
- John-117: "Where now?"
- Weapon: "Should be close now. Let's look around."
The Chief searches the room he landed in and quickly spots an unlocked door. He heads through it.
- Whispers: "Boundless spaces of night contract. And in your opening eyes I see. Night born in day and in time eternity."
The Chief sees a group of Aggressor Sentinels behind a window. One of them scans him as he moves by. He enters the room on the other side and finds himself in a massive open chamber. A deep chasm separates him from the other side. There's also an anti-gravity gondola here.
- Weapon: "Hmmm. That's not good. We're gonna need to find a way over this chasm."
- John-117: "Can we use that gondola?"
- Weapon: "Yes. Yes we can. Get me over there."
The Chief steps onto the gondola and activates its terminal. The gondola rumbles to life.
- Weapon: "Okay. Gondola's active."
The gondola starts moving, triggering a hostile response from the Sentinels in the chamber.
- Weapon: "Chief, watch out! Sentinels, incoming!"
Multiple waves of Aggressor Sentinels attack. The Chief holds them off long enough for the gondola to make its way to the other end of the chamber.
- Weapon: "The Nexus is close by. This way."
The Chief gets off the gondola and heads through an unlocked door.
- Whispers: (Hums)
The Chief comes across another deep chasm, but a light bridge activates on its own, allowing him to cross. There are some Aggressor Sentinels here, but they ignore him (even if he attacks them). He crosses the bridge and finally enters the Nexus itself.
{Cutscene}
The Weapon's avatar materializes on the Chief's hand as he enters the Nexus' central chamber. Holograms of multiple Reformation Spires appear all around them. A hologram of Zeta Halo appears as well.
- Weapon (in awe): "Look at this place. All the Spires... interconnected. Just waiting to become something more. So much potential. It's exquisite."
- John-117: "It's dangerous."
- Weapon: (awkwardly) "Of course. I'm not suggesting we change the plan..."
She gestures at the Spires around them.
- Weapon: "...but you can see it, right?"
- John-117: "All I see is a problem."
- Weapon: "I don't believe that."
She turns around and spreads her arms out, taking in the magnificence of the sight around them.
- Weapon: "A part of you must recognize the grandeur of this achievement."
She turns back to the Chief.
- Weapon: "You're not a machine. You can't be that closed off."
The Chief doesn't reply.
- Weapon: (almost pleadingly) "What will it take for you to trust me?"
- John-117: (struggling to answer) "I..." (changes subject) "Spire first."
The Weapon stares down in disappointment. After a moment, she looks back up and gives the Chief a weak smile.
- Weapon: "If you say so."
Her avatar dissolves.
