Winter Contingency is the second level in the campaign of Halo: Reach and the first level to feature gameplay.[2] It immediately follows the first level Noble Actual, which includes the game's opening cinematic.
Summary[edit]
In the level, Noble Team is sent to Visegrad, a remote agricultural region of the planet Reach, to investigate a disturbance in the communications relay responsible for the planet's communications to the rest of the UNSC, and the disappearance of the Army troopers sent in to investigate before them.[3] Sabotage by insurrectionists is suspected, but the cause of the disruption is revealed to be a Covenant advance infiltration force.[4] At the Visegrad relay, Noble Team finds the corpse of a researcher alongside his surviving daughter. Shortly after, several Sangheili Zealots attack the Spartans, and after a brief scuffle they retreat deeper into the facility. Eventually Noble Team brings the relay back online, and contact Colonel Holland, declaring Winter Contingency.
Transcript[edit]
Two UH-144 Falcons fly over a mountainous landscape.
Carter-A259 is shown from behind, looking over at the other Falcon.
- Commander Carter-A259: "Listen up, Noble Team. We're looking at a downed relay outpost, fifty klicks from Visegrad. We're going to introduce ourselves to whoever took it out, then Kat's going to get it back online."
- Lieutenant Commander Catherine-B320: "Just get me under the hood, Commander."
- Chief Warrant Officer Jorge-052: "Sir, why would rebels want to cut off Reach from the rest of the colonies?"
Carter is shown from the front.
- Carter-A259: "You get a chance, maybe you can ask 'em, Jorge."
The camera shifts to behind the two Falcons.
- Kat-B320: "Commander, we just lost our signal with HQ."
Cut back to the second Falcon from Carter's point of view.
- Carter-A259: "Backup channels?"
- Kat-B320: "Searching... Nada. Can't say what's jamming us."
The two Falcons are once again shown from behind, from a greater distance. They are now approaching the outpost.
- Carter-A259: "You heard her. Dead zone confirmed. Command will not be keeping us company this trip."
- Warrant Officer Emile-A239: "I'm lonely already."
The Falcons bank left and hover over the outpost. Fade to black.
{Gameplay}
- Carter-A259: "Shoot down attempts are likely, so keep your distance."
- Pilot (COM): "Yes, sir!"
- Carter-A259: "Let's stay focused. Watch your sectors."
The two Falcons head in opposite directions as the Comm Relay Hub comes into view.
- Jorge-052: "There's the communications outpost."
- Kat-B320: "Reading a distress beacon."
- Carter-A259: "Could be the missing troopers. Let's check it out."
- Carter-A259: "Put us down on the bluff."
The Falcon circles for a landing.
- Carter-A259: "Jun, I want your eyes in the sky."
- Warrant Officer Jun-A266: "Sir."
The Falcons land side by side, and Carter jumps down.
- Carter-A259: "Let's go, Six."
Noble Six exits the Falcon along with Carter, Emile, and Kat. Jun and Jorge remain in their respective Falcons to provide sniper support.
NOBLE Team[edit]
A distress beacon has been detected near Visegrad Relay Outpost. Investigate and locate the beacon.
- Carter-A259: "Alright, Noble Team. Spread out. Watch the approach."
Six follows Noble Team down the hillside. Emile swiftly jumps on to the top of a boulder and checks the surrounding area.
- Emile-A239: "Structure point 3-4, looks clear from this angle."
The Spartans advance further down the hill.
- Kat-B320: "Distress beacon's coming from just south of here, Commander. We're close."
- Carter-A259: "Roger that. Eyes peeled."
Soon they come to a burning vehicle next to a small building. There are blood spatters on the ground near the wreckage, but no bodies. Emile begins inspecting a broken pallet on the ground and removes a red object from it.
- Emile-A239: "Found the beacon."
Emile tosses the beacon to Kat.
- Carter-A259: "Make out any ID?"
- Kat-B320: "Negative, but it's military."
Kat drops the beacon on the ground.
- Jorge-052 (COM): "So, where are all the troopers?"
- Kat-B320: "Why are we not seeing explosives residue?"
- Carter-A259: "Noble Three, can you confirm any 'ex residue in
