 * Fermion: Reading multiple pings below the orbital defense grid...
 * Gamma Station: Oh, this can't be happening...
 * UNSC Operator: There's no mistake. It's them.

 * UNSC Operator: WINTER CONTINGENCY has been declared. All units are mobilized and ready.

 * Pilot: We're coming in hot. Hold on!

Several more plasma explosions are seen on the planet
