The Truth and Reconciliation is the third campaign level in Halo: Combat Evolved. The Master Chief and a team of UNSC Marines must rescue Captain Keyes, who is being held prisoner aboard the Covenant ship, the Truth and Reconciliation. After boarding the ship by using its gravity lift, the Master Chief fights his way through the interior of the Covenant battlecruiser to rescue Captain Keyes and several other prisoners from the ship's brig. This is the first level in which Mgalekgolo, Sangheili Zealots, and Stealth Sangheili are encountered.
In 2026 the level was remade entirely for inclusion in Halo: Campaign Evolved.
Transcript[edit]
The Truth and Reconciliation[edit]
{Original Cutscene} {Anniversary Cutscene}
The view pans across a plateau with a Covenant Ket-pattern battlecruiser above it.
- Cortana: "The enemy has captured Captain Keyes, and are holding him aboard one of their cruisers, the Truth and Reconciliation. The ship is currently holding position approximately three hundred meters above the other end of this plateau."
Pelican Echo 419 comes into view, it starts to land.
- Marine #1: "So how do we get inside the ship if it's in the air? The Corps issued me a rifle, not wings."
- Staff Sergeant Parker:[Note 1] "There's a gravity lift that ferries troops and supplies between the ship and the surface. That's our ticket in."
The Pelican lands in an unoccupied area.
{Gameplay}
- Cortana: "Once we get inside the ship, I should be able to lock on to the tracking signal from Captain Keyes' neural implants."
- Sergeant Parker: "Hit it, Marines, go go go! The Corps ain't payin' us by the hour!"
Fire Team Charlie and the Master Chief get off the Pelican and head forward.
- Cortana: "Stick to the higher ground on the right. We should be able to recon the Covenant position without being spotted. I'm detecting Covenant Stationary Guns near the next pass. I recommend using your Sniper Rifle to take out the gunners while I call for Marine support."
- Cortana (COM): "Get ready to move in to support us, Sergeant. The Master Chief is going to covertly take out as many of the Covenant as he can. Don't open fire until you hear the enemy return fire on us. That should let us keep the element of surprise."
The Master Chief takes out as many Covenant troops as he can, before being spotted by the Covenant, who open fire at him.
- Parker: "Let 'em have it!"
The Marines open fire.
One of the Unggoy runs for a Shade turret.
- Cortana: "Alert! A Covenant is making a run for that stationary gun. (NAV point appears on the Unggoy) Take him out!"
More Covenant troops enter the area, but are eventually all eliminated. The area is secure.
- Marine #1: "Hey, we did it! We're right behind you, Chief!"
The Chief starts to move up the slope.
- Cortana: "Stop. Motion tracker shows movement around the next bend."
- Parker: "We're ready to advance as soon as you call for us, Cortana."
As Fire Team Charlie move further up the plateau.
- Cortana: "Covenant forces detected up ahead. The path up on the left should let us sneak up around them."
- Sergeant Parker: "We'll hang back while you get into position, Chief."
If the Chief takes the left flank:
- Cortana: "Cortana to Fire Team Charlie. The Chief has the left flank covered. Recommend you move up the middle."
If the Chief moves up the middle:
- Cortana: "Cortana to Fire Team Charlie. The Chief has secured the middle. Get ready to move up the left, you should be able to flank the enemy."
- Marine #1: "Roger that."
As the UNSC forces takes out the last of the Covenant infantry, a Spirit dropship lands nearby and drops a lance of Covenant.
- Cortana: "Alert! Covenant dropships are inbound!"
After clearing the area, they walk through a path and reach the cruiser's landing zone, which is defended by a number of troops.
- Cortana: "We're directly under the ship now."
- Sergeant Parker: "Good work, Marines."
- Marine #1: "Alright! Are we bad or what?"
- Marine #2: "Mother of God...I'd never thought I'd get close to one of these things. How the hell are we suppose to get inside that monster?"
or
- Marine #2: "If we're gonna board that thing, we need a plan."
- Cortana: "The Covenant use a Gravity Lift to ferry troops and supplies between the ship and the surface. We need to ambush them at the Grav Lift's loading zone, and use the lift to enter the ship."
- Marine #2: "Oh, is that all! That's us, the few, the proud, the expendable."
If three or more Marines from the team are killed:
- Cortana (COM): "Cortana to Echo 419, requesting reinforcements from our position."
- Flight Captain Carol Rawley (COM): "Roger, Cortana, Echo 419 on approach."
The team engages the Covenant defense, while Echo 419 enters the landing zone and drops another team of marines.
- Marine #1: "Crap, those stationary guns are gonna tear us to pieces!"
or
- Marine #2: "Sir, those freakin' guns have us pinned down!"
Another Spirit approaches, dropping a group of Unggoy
- Cortana: "Alert! Covenant Dropships are inbound!"
- Marine #1: "Man, there's always something..."
Numerous Covenant troops soon drop from the cruiser's Gravity Lift, engaging the team.
- Marine #1: "Contact, enemy in sight!"
or
- Parker: "Covenant forces sighted! Let's hit 'em, Charlie Team!"
The team eliminates all Covenant resistance, including a pair of Mgalekgolo.
- Parker: "We've secured the area. Let's square away the grav lift. Marines! Prepare for boarding action."
or
- Parker: "This area's clear. No hostiles present. Marines, secure the grav lift and prepare for boarding!"
- Marines: "Yes, sir!"
The Marines gather under the grav lift.
- Cortana: "Once we're inside the ship, I can home in on the Captain's command-neural interface. He'll probably be in or near the ship's brig, which should narrow our search."
If any of the Marines are KIA:
- Cortana (COM): "Cortana to Echo 419. We've reached the Gravity Lift and are ready for reinforcements."
- Rawley (COM): "Copy that, Cortana. Hang tight, gentlemen. Foe Hammer out."
- Cortana: "Once we're inside the ship, I can home in on the Captain's command-neural interface. He'll probably be in or near the ship's brig, which should narrow our search."
Pelican arrives
- Rawley (COM): "Echo 419 inbound, clear the dr
