Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn/Transcripts/Part 4

''UNSC Forward Unto Dawn's cryo chambers. Cortana's voice can be heard.''


 * Cortana: "I don't recognize...."

''Cuts to a closer shot of one of the chambers.


 * Cortana: "I can't...remember.."

One chamber suddenly burst open.


 * Cortana: "...so much of myself."

''An air hose bursts under pressure, sending a ring-shaped pressure seal flying outward. Cuts to a wider shot of the room. ''


 * Cortana: "I'm lost..."

Cuts from the screen showing a scan of the Forward Unto Dawn to a haphazard shot of the room.


 * Cortana: "...I'm scared."

''As the shot suddenly goes into slow motion, light reflects off the ring and a dramatic chord plays, clearly an homage to the Halos. As the shot returns to regular motion, an orange light scans the ship, turning the alarms on. Cortana's voice suddenly overlaps.''


 * Cortana: "Hello? Who's there?"


 * Cortana: "It appears to be an alien construct."


 * Cortana: "The data confirms it was not built by the Covenant"


 * Cortana: "No need for more analyzing."

Cuts to black.


 * Cortana: "We are in danger."

'''HALO 4 FORWARD UNTO DAWN PART IV '''

''Cuts to an ODST as he is blown apart by a grenade. Thomas Lasky, Chyler Silva and April Orenski running through a firefight between ODSTs, Marines and Covenant forces. MA5Ds, Plasma Rifles, and Needlers can be heard firing. At one point, Orenski can be seen trying to guide the other cadets.''


 * Orenski: "Come on! Let's go!"

''As Lasky looks around, a Marine screams as he is shot down and a Sangheili Zealot can be seen wielding a Plasma Rifle. Two cadets are killed by Needlers and another Marine is engulfed in an explosion. Lasky then notices Colonel Mehaffey wielding an assault rifle yelling at the cadets.''


 * Mehaffey: "Get to the dorms, go!"


 * Lasky: "Colonel Mehaffey...?"


 * Mehaffey: "Go, go, go go!"

''Mehaffey is suddenly hit by Needler rounds as Lasky watches in horror. As she goes down, everything is now in slow motion. Lasky looks on in horror as the Zealot barks orders. Two ODSTs are seen shooting. As Lasky turns, a Marine is about to get ambushed by a Kig-Yar Sniper. Cuts to a brief shot of the Marine before going back into fast motion as Silva approaches Lasky.''


 * Silva: "Tom!"

Silva pulls Lasky, still in a trance, by the arm.


 * Silva: "Come on, let's go!"

Cuts to more shots of Marines fighting.


 * Marine 1: "Fall back!"


 * Marine 2: "Protect the cadets!"

As the firefight tips even more to the Covenant's favor, Junjie Chen grabs the pair.


 * Lasky: "JJ, is that you?!"


 * Chen: "To the dorms!"

''Cuts to a shot inside the dorms. Hastati Squad, minus Dimah Tchakova has regrouped.''


 * Sullivan: "What's happened?"

Vickers tries to open the doors to no avail.


 * 'Vickers: "Doors are locked!"


 * Sullivan: "Over here; in Lasky's room."

''Hastati quickly squeezes into the room. Cuts to various close-up shots of the cadets as reality starts to sink into them.''


 * Sullivan: "Oh my god...Dimah, she's dead."


 * Lasky: "Colonel Mehaffey..."


 * Vickers: "We'll be too if we don't do something!"

Sullivan scatters his hand on the holotable, trying to activate it but is unsuccessful.


 * Sullivan: "Comms are offline"


 * Vickers: "It's a whole new war."

''The Zealot laughs but suddenly stops as blood suddenly shoots out from the back of its neck. As it falls, John-117 pulls out his combat knife and activates his helmet lights. He looks over at the cadets and approaches them. Cuts to the cadets looking at him in fear and awe.''


 * John: "We don't have much time. Let's go."

''Cuts to Lasky looking at him. Cuts again from Silva looking down.''


 * John: "Kelly, infrom Command I have four survivors."

''Cuts again to Vickers' dead body. Cuts to a medium shot of the SPARTAN with the cadets.''


 * John: "Take your team north. Rendezvous at Evac Alpha for Pelican extraction.

John turns to face the cadets.


 * John: "We'll meet you there. Chief out."

Cuts to a close-up of Lasky


 * Lasky: "How did you find us?"


 * John: "A distress beacon"


 * Sullivan: "Why did you come for us?"


 * John: "You're the only survivors."

Cuts to a close-up of Sullivan.


 * Sullivan: "In the school?"

Cuts to Sullivan's POV of John.


 * John: "On the planet."

Lasky and Silva look away in shock.


 * John: "We've got fifteen minutes to evac point. Armor up."

Cuts back to Sullivan.


 * Sullivan: "It's-It's locked."

John looks at him before tearing the locker door open and throwing it aside.
