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."

{Gameplay}

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.

Errors
In the final cutscene, Del Rio refers to Commander Sarah Palmer as "Lieutenant" when ordering her to arrest the Master Chief.
