UNCONFIRMED REPORTS

{Cutscene}

Two Pelicans arrive at Apogee Station. POV shot as Locke and the others exit one of the Pelicans, and armed Meridian settlers exit the other.

{Gameplay}

• Edward Buck: "Looks like we got an escort."

• Holly Tanaka: "Be surprised if they weren't. Sloan can't be happy about UNSC marching around out here."

• Governor Sloan (COM): "The lady is correct. My team's there to keep an eye on things while you look around. Nothing personal, Spartans."

• Jameson Locke: "(hesitantly) No offense taken, Governor. We'll find our targets and be out of your way shortly."

The Spartans and miners head into the station. Leaving the dock, they pass the hallways to reach an outdoor. Other miners are already there, fighting attacking Promethean Crawlers.

• Locke: "Prometheans."

• Tanaka: "Clear them out! Sloan's people can fight, but they shouldn't have to."

The Spartans and miners defeat the attackers.

• Olympia Vale: "Area's clear."

• Buck: "Let's move on. See if we can find any signs of Blue Team."

If the player stalls.

• Vale: "A lot of money going into this, where's the profit?"

• Buck: "Sure your mom was signal intelligence? You sound like a banker's daughter."

• Tanaka: "Liang Dortmund pays a couple generations of chumps to break off the glass, then has land rights to an entire planet. It's a long con. But it'll pay."

• Tanaka: "Don't make sense, Sloan's people going into the mountain. They were supposed to be chipping off the glass, not digging in the dirt."

• Buck: "Sounds like an object lesson in properly following orders."

The Spartans pass through the area and head up the stairs. They reach a landing dock, in which is parked the ONI Acrisius prowler. Several Prometheans, including Knights and Soldiers have surrounded it.

• Locke: "Clear the Prometheans. I want a look at that Prowler."

More Knights and Soldiers warp in, bringing their support class Watchers.

• Any member of Osiris: "Knight spawned a Watcher."

More Prometheans warp in.

• Buck: "Reinforcements. Look sharp."

When all the Prometheans are destroyed.

• Locke: "All clear."

• Vale: "Blue Team just left their Prowler parked in the middle of everything?"

• Tanaka: "Must've landed here for a reason. Ship's log might tell us something."

• Locke: "Let's run a scan."

If the player stalls.

• Vale: "You know, we've seen Promethean attacks since Requiem, but no record of any this intense."

• Tanaka: "Something riled 'em up, that's for sure."

• Buck: "Never been to a place with an AI for a governor. Not sure how I feel about that."

• Vale: "It looked like he was holding things together."

• Buck: "Well, sure, it seems it would work out most of the time. That is, 'till a call had to be made that I don't think I'd want a machine making."

Locke enters the Prowler and activates his Artemis system. His HUD shows images from the Prowler's databanks.

• Tanaka: "Look at this."

• Buck: "Looks like a map of Apogee Station. It leads down inside the mountain."

• Tanaka: "Marked a path to the door outside to the mines."

• Locke: "Governor Sloan."

• Sloan (COM): "Spartan Locke?"

• Locke: "We're looking for access to the mine near our position."

• Sloan (COM): "You think this soldier you're chasing is down there? Not likely."

• Locke: "I'm asking politely for access to your facility, Governor."

• Sloan (COM): "Opening the door for you now. (heavy static) You watch yourselves down there."

A door on the side of the landing dock opens. The Spartans pass through and reach an enormous debris hill. A few meters away there is a miner wielding a sniper rifle.

• Miner: "Stand back! Snipers perched ahead!"

The miner is suddenly shot by a binary rifle-wielding Soldier and disintegrates. Promethean Armiger Snipers fire down at the Spartans.

• Any member of Osiris: "The Prometheans have this entrance bottled up."

The Spartans push up the hill and defeat the snipers.

• Locke: "This area's secured. Governor Sloan, there's a door blocking our way at this location."

• Sloan (COM): "Opening now, Spartan."

The door into the mine opens, leading to a dim cavern path.

• Buck: "Don't see any signs of Blue Team being engaged in combat through here."

• Vale: "Think they found another entrance?"

• Buck: "My money's on the Prometheans never engaging them."

• Vale: "That doesn't make any sense."

• Buck: "Making sense and being a fact aren't always the same thing."

If the player stalls.

• Vale: "What do people usually eat way out here?"

• Tanaka: "Similar to military rations. Foods that don't go bad too quick."

• Vale: "Taste any better?"

• Tanaka: "Hmmm. Nope."

• Buck: "You know, after years of human progress, you'd think we'd have figured out the recipe for the perfect MRSE."

The Spartans head into the cavern. They open the door at its end, leading to a large underground room with mining platforms. A Soldier at a weapons cache inspects a SAW.

• Soldier: "Primitive. Yet functional. It will serve our purpose."

• Soldier: "These are not the humans approved by Warden Eternal."

The Spartans engage the Promtheans. The room around them shakes.

• Tanaka: "Earthquake!"

• Locke: "Watch your heads."

The Spartans clear out the Prometheans and head to the next platform, but more begin to warp in.

• Any member of Osiris: "Spawn gates bringing more Prometheans!"

The Spartans destroy them and head to the end of the platform. A Promethean Knight arrives with troops.

• Any member of Osiris: "More Prometheans inbound!"

The Prometheans are defeated.

• Locke: "Area's clear. Move into the structure."

The Spartans head up the stairs and enter a quarry site, which had uncovered Forerunner ruins.

• Vale: "There's no record of Forerunner artifacts on Meridian. They must have just uncovered this."

The Spartans drop to the bottom of the quarry. Floating Forerunner droids pass them by.

• Any member of Osiris: "Something here. Similar design to a Monitor."

• Vale: "Non-communicative. And they don't seem interested in us."

• Locke: "Move forward. But keep an eye on them."

The Spartans head into the ruins. They reach a Forerunner elevator platform, adorned by circular roof rings and lava falls.

• Buck: "Forerunners did not lack a sense of style."

• Locke: "Looks like the only way is down."

• Vale: "Look at all of this!"

• Locke: "Record everything. We can get a good look at it later."

SALVATION LIES WITHIN

The Spartans step onto the elevator and it slowly lowers into the cavern.

• Sloan (COM): "(heavy static) Spartans- I'm- losing- your- signal..."

• Locke: "Governor?"

• Buck: "Privacy at last."

• Vale: "This place is huge. Why wouldn't Sloan report a find of this size?"

• Tanaka: "Mother hell..."

• Locke: "Tanaka?"

• Tanaka: "Just realized. Buck was saying Blue Team didn't fight Prometheans? Well, they didn't have to sweet-talk Sloan either."

• Vale: "You think Sloan let them down here?"

• Tanaka: "Reckon it's a possibility."

• Locke: "A possibility, but not a certainty. If Sloan's hiding something, we'll draw it out of him after we investigate this structure."

The elevator touches down at a platform. The Spartans step off and approach its door.

Fade to black.

{Cutscene}

The Spartans enter an enormous room vigilantly, looking around for any signs of Blue Team. Ahead of them is a light bridge leading to a platform, and above it around scale-like pods. As they approach, a loud ec
