Transcript
We open on a dim desert landscape, with sand flying off of dunes in the audible wind.

''A cloaked figure trudges through the sandstorm. The shape of a SPARTAN-II helmet is visible under the hood. The edges of the cloak flutter in the breeze as the figure keeps moving forward. We see the long trail of footprints left behind.''

''Finally, the figure reaches some bare rocks and stops. In the distance, we see large sharp-edged rocks sticking out of the ground in a manner that evokes the dead, damaged Forerunner aesthetic. Above them, a large, bare moon sits in the sky.''

The figure starts to continue, but the ground ripples and the rocks lift into the air as we hear a strange, mechanical groan.

The figure stops.

''The rocks hover briefly and then fall. As they touch down, the ground falls away, sucked downward as something rises up.''

''The figure watches as a large, lit machine floats upward, cascading sand beneath it. It continues to rise, casting shadow over the land.''

''The figure stares up at the mechanical giant, now with visible Forerunner aesthetics, and a Spartan hand exits the cloak. It holds an empty data crystal chip--Cortana's.''

''The machine lifts what are now clearly large wings formed of disconnected segments, hovering in an organized pattern. It pulses, sending a shock wave outward that blows back the figure's hood, revealing John-117. He clutches the chip with resolve and looks upward. The machine's light reflects from his visor.''

We cut to titles hovering over the desert landscape:
