SIZE MATTERS
{Cutscene}


 * John-117: "Who are you?"


 * The Librarian: "I am the remains of the Forerunner, once known as the Librarian."


 * The Librarian: "My memories were retained to assist humanity on their path to the Mantle. Though sadly, that plan is now at risk."


 * The Librarian: "The Didact is leaving Requiem. Soon. You must not allow it."


 * John-117: "Leaving?"


 * The Librarian: "He seeks this - The Composer. A device which will allow him to finally contain the greatest enemy ever faced by the Forerunners. You."


 * The Librarian: "Mankind spread into the stars with an unexpected, desperate violance. Entire systems fell before the Didact's warrior servants rose to halt the aggresion."


 * The Librarian: "When the Didact finally exhausted the humans after a millenia, his sentence was severe."


 * The Librarian: "We had no way of knowing that the Forerunners were not your only enemy."


 * The Librarian: "Humanity hadn't been expanding. They were running."


 * The Librarian: "Weakened from our conflict, we were no match for the parasite which pursued you.


 * The Librarian: "The Forerunners made plans for a final, great journey. But the Didact refused to yield our Mantle of Responsibility. He would save all life in the galaxy... at a cost."


 * The Librarian: "In the Forerunners' quest for transcendence, the Composer had been intended to bridge the organic and digital realms. It would have made us inmortal."


 * The Librarian: "But its results soured. The stored personalities fragmented, and our attempts to return them into biological states created only abominations."


 * The Librarian: "Such moral concerns faded from the Didact's attention."


 * The Librarian: "The Flood only assimilated living tissue."


 * The Librarian: "The Composer would provide the Didact his solution... and his revenge."


 * John-117: "The Promethean... they're human-"


 * The Librarian: "They were only the beginning. He would have encrypted your entire race if we had not removed the Composer from his care and imprisoned him here."


 * The Librarian: "Reclaimer, when I indexed mankind for repopulation, I hid seeds from the Didact. Seeds which would lead to an eventuality. Your physical evolution. Your combat skin. Even your ancilla, Cortana. You are the culmination of a thousand lifetimes of planning."


 * John-117: "Planning for what?"


 * The Librarian: "He has found us."


 * The Didact: "Even in death, her meddling continues."


 * The Librarian: "Reclaimer, the genesong I placed within you contains many gifts, including an immunity to the Composer, but it must be unlocked."


 * John-117: "How?"


 * The Didact: "Relinquish your contact, essence!"


 * The Librarian: "Your evolutionary journey must be accelerated."


 * John-117: "Can I defeat the Didact without it?"


 * The Librarian: "No."


 * John-117: "Then do it."


 * The Librarian: "Prepare."

Glitches
The SPARTAN-IV sniper at the beginning of the level may experience a pathfinding glitch that prevents him from boarding the Mammoth. He will run left toward the rock wall and continue to run in place; neither walking into him nor meleeing him has any effect. Restarting the level does not seem to fix the problem, either.
