E3 Demo
When the Master Chief is escorted to him, he is wounded surrounded by some of his fallen comrades. Banks is shocked to see that the back-up he called for resulted in a SPARTAN. Immediately after, he calls for an air strike on a Covenant artillery a few hundred meters away. While MC provides cover fire, Banks converses with Major Easley. Once the artillery is destroyed, Banks gives MC his SMGs.
