Terminal (Halo 2: Anniversary)

"How well do you know your friend, human? And what will you call me when you learn the truth of what I've done?"

- Arbiter Thel 'Vadam in the Halo: The Master Chief Collection terminals trailer.

Halo 2 Anniversary features Terminals accessible to the player in each level. Animated by Sequence, these terminals follow the story of Arbiter Thel 'Vadam and have connections to the story of Halo 5: Guardians. The terminals have been stated to be placed in more conspicuous locations than in the earlier games, as 343 Industries wishes all players to be able to find them. Like the terminals of Halo 4, the Halo 2 Anniversary terminals will not be hosted on the game disc and will only be accessible online.

Fictionally, the terminals are presented as a report made by the ONI agent, Lt. Commander Jameson Locke, and being read by SPARTAN John-117.
