Reckoning

Episode 05 is the fifth of five "episodes" in the Iris campaign. It can be found at http://206.16.223.61/X84xE2/flash/web/index.html. Once the page is loaded, there is a floating and rotating thing, with several Forerunner glyphs on it. Three of them link to files to download, and one links to a video that can be played. One of the files, Log5_Transcript.txt, contains the transcript of the video:

The anomalous world is in a perilous location beyond the line. {//} (THE SECRETS IT HOLDS MUST BE PRESERVED) {//} (PLANS WITHIN PLANS WITHIN PLANS) The inhabitants; these unique denizens, must be researched. They may hold answers to our own mysteries. {//} (WHAT IRONY THAT WE DISCOVERED THIS TREASURE, ONLY AT THE END OF THINGS.) {//} (BUT WHAT FORTUNE THAT WE STILL HAD TIME TO SAVE THEM) The thing we built on that world will vouchsafe their lives, {//} (BUT PERHAPS ONE DAY IT WILL BE USED FOR ITS INTENDED PURPOSE) If the plan succeeds, and they are saved, it will be a good world. If the plan fails, {//} (AND THE ADVERSARY SUCCEEDS) it will remain an enigma forever {//} (WITH NO-ONE LEFT TO RECLAIM IT)
