SIZE MATTERS
{Cutscene}


 * John-117: "Who are you?"


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


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


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


 * John-117: "Leaving?"


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


 * Librarian: "Mankind spread into the stars with an unexpected, desperate violence. Entire systems fell before the Didact's Warrior-Servants rose to halt the aggression."


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


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


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


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


 * 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."


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


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


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


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


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


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


 * 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."


 * 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?"


 * Librarian: "He has found us."


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


 * 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?"


 * Didact: "Relinquish your contact, essence!"


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


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


 * Librarian: "No."


 * John-117: "Then do it."


 * 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.

Mistakes

 * There is an inconsistency on the gender of the pilot of Papa Foxtrot 766. After being shot down, it is a male Marine who answers Palmer. However, when John-117 reaches the crash site, there is only a male Marine there, and a female voice will express her thanks for the rescue.
 * In the final cutscene, Del Rio refers to Commander Sarah Palmer as "Lieutenant" when ordering her to arrest the Master Chief.
