 * Cortana: "Mayday, mayday. This is UNSC FFG-201 Forward Unto Dawn, requesting immediate evac. Survivors aboard. Prioritization code Victor 5-3-Sierra-117."

A computer screen is seen:

''The screen flickers. Cuts to John-117 inside his cryo chamber. His visor reflects off the blue light outside the chamber. The blue light is revealed to be emitting from a holotank. The light flickers red before turning back to blue. Fades to black. Fades in to the space, where a few stars are seen. Blacks out.''

''Title fades out. Scene cuts to Commander Thomas Lasky, in front of a holographic screen, reviewing the distress signal.''


 * Bridge crew #1: "Lock on to frequency, tracking coordinates."


 * Bridge crew #2: "Tracking now."


 * Thomas Lasky: "Play it again, please."

As the signal plays again, Lasky starts to space out.


 * Bridge crew #2: "We have a lock."

The bridge is thrown into disarray as the crew begin to talk at the same time and an alarm sets off.


 * Bridge crew #3: "Shall I play it again, sir?"

Lasky starts to breathe deeper and louder, while the voice gets fainter.


 * Bridge crew #3: "Sir? ...Commander Lasky?"

''Lasky's breathing gets louder, his eyes begin to look around the room. Cuts to Lasky opening his eyes as a teen, inside a cryo chamber. He coughs ''


 * Announcer: "Cryo pods opening."

''Lasky falls out, vomiting bronchial surfactant. Next to him, Chyler Silva and Michael Sullivan are seen thawed out and vomiting surfactant as well.''


 * Chyler Silva: "Lasky? You okay?"

Lasky doesn't respond and continues to vomit.


 * Chyler Silva: "Are you alright?"

''Cuts to Lasky walking to his locker, still coughing. Cuts to Sullivan in his battle uniform looking at Lasky.''


 * Michael Sullivan: "Lasky, let's go!"

Cuts back to Lasky as he gears up, still coughing.


 * Walter Vickers (COM): "Hastati Squad, 4 minutes to rendezvous point!"

Lasky takes out his assault rifle.


 * Chyler Silva: "Copy, Vickers. T-Minus 4 minutes."

Cuts to Lasky's right hand wrist, which is bruised.


 * Michael Sullivan: "Will you be able to shoot with those hands?"

Lasky tightens his gloves.


 * Thomas Lasky: “We'll find out."

Chyler runs for the exit.


 * Chyler Silva: "Come on!"

Sullivan follows her.


 * Michael Sullivan: "Axios!"

''Lasky runs out of the building. Cuts to his Heads-up display as the sunlight blinds his eyes. Lasky pants and coughs. He looks up at a small hill, where Silva and Sullivan are already climbing to the top.''


 * Michael Sullivan: "Lasky, come on, let's go!"

''Lasky walks a few step ahead before sprinting. Cuts to a forest with explosions.''


 * Voice: "Under heavy fire!"


 * Sullivan: "Covering!"

''Sullivan fires his assault rifle. Silva fires hers for a short second before continuing.''


 * Silva: "Moving!"

''The three cadets move on to the RV point. A slow motion of Lasky running through explosions and gunfire is shown before going back to standard motion.''


 * Sullivan: "See you at the party."

''Lasky, Silva and Sullivan get up and continue running. A few shots of them running are shown. Sullivan is then shot by a Tactical training round and falls backwards. Lasky and Silva notice this and turn around.''


 * Lasky: "Sully!"

Cuts to a brief shot of Sullivan 'dead' and then to Silva running.


 * Silva: "We have to leave him!"

Lasky hesitates.


 * Vickers (COM): "Lasky, what the hell?!"

Vickers roughly shoves Lasky as he passes.


 * Walter Vickers: "Stop stepping on our dicks, Lasky."


 * Michael Sullivan: "Hey, ease up, gingerbread."


 * Junjie Chen: "No, Sully. Vickers is right."

Chen approaches Lasky.


 * Junjie Chen: "My combat score sucked because of you."
