''Establishing shot: the UNSC'' Infinity. | |||
''Cut to the bridge of the ''Infinity. ''Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] is speaking to Captain Lasky. [[Roland]]'s hologram is above his desk.'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "I tried to warn you this was happening! [[Cortana]] is no longer an asset, Captain. She is a danger. She has accessed the [[Forerunner]] [[Domain]], a galaxy-spanning network-" | |||
*'''Roland''': "Cortana's alive?" | |||
*'''Halsey''': "-that allows her to control whatever devices caused this damage." | |||
*'''Roland''': "How is she-" | |||
*'''Lasky''': [[John-117|The Master Chief]] believes she contacted him-" | |||
*'''Halsey''': "What? No. John must not speak to her." | |||
*'''Lasky''': "-and he's gone in search of her." | |||
*'''Halsey''': "You let him go?" | |||
*'''Roland''': "How is that-" | |||
''[[Sarah Palmer]] enters and interrupts him.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Nobody lets the Chief do anything. He does what he wants." | |||
*'''Lasky''': "Until 0630 this morning, when he was declared absent without leave." | |||
*'''Roland''': "This isn't about the Master Chief." | |||
''Halsey interrupts him. Roland looks at her surprised.'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "John is not equipped emotionally to deal with her as a threat-" | |||
*'''Roland''': "'''HEY!''' Is anyone going to answer me?!" | |||
*'''Lasky''': "You're out of line Roland." | |||
*'''Roland''': "Yes sir. But so is everyone else!" | |||
''Roland gestures at Halsey, who looks at him mournfully.'' | |||
*'''Roland''': "You created Cortana, Doc, and now you're throwing her out the airlock with these accusations!" | |||
*'''Lasky''': "Roland." | |||
*'''Roland''': "You think she tricked the Master Chief into abandoning his post? Respectfully, sir, to what end? Why is Cortana the problem?! Because she refused to ''die'' when she was supposed to?" | |||
''Fade to black.'' | |||
''Fade in to a hangar on the ''Infinity''. A [[Mammoth]] is being loaded away. Nearby, [[Jameson Locke]] and [[Edward Buck]] work at a small lab.'' | |||
*'''Buck''': "You're okay with this? Not just another target, you know." | |||
*'''Locke''': "Every target is just another target, Buck." | |||
''Buck picks up and moves a briefcase.'' | |||
*'''Buck''': "Yeah. For you maybe." | |||
*'''Buck''': "I loved being an [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]]." | |||
''Buck raises his pistol [[Whispered Truth]] and mimes shooting it.'' | |||
*'''Buck''': "Point and shoot. None of this gray area BS." | |||
''Locke opens a machine that carries a gray disc suspended in ant-gravity. He takes it out of the machine.'' | |||
*'''Buck''': "I mean, how are we even supposed to bring [[Blue Team|them]] in? Ask politely?" | |||
''Locke activates the disc, and it begins to spin, glow red, and whir.'' | |||
*'''Locke''': "No." | |||
''Locke throws the device at Buck, and his armor locks in place. He struggles to move, as its shields flicker and its limbs become immobile.'' | |||
*'''Buck''': "The hell?" | |||
''Locke pulls the device off Buck's armor, letting him move again.'' | |||
*'''Locke''': "Armor restraint. Short circuit their systems." | |||
''Buck looks at the device worriedly as Locke walks away.'' | |||
*'''Buck''': "You know, Locke..." | |||
''Locke turns to face him as their Pelican rises up.'' | |||
*'''Buck''': "Every other Spartan... every soldier, when they hear about this... they're gonna hate us. You know that, right?" | |||
''Locke looks back at him coldly.'' | |||
*'''Locke''': "You're not the only one here because of him." | |||
''He turns and walks away. Buck doesn't look reassured.'' | |||
''Fade to black.'' | |||
''Fade in on an an [[Space elevator|orbital elevator]] high above the surface of [[Meridian]]. Osiris' Pelican flies to its dock.'' | |||

Run by a private corp now, chipping away the glass, making her livable. | *'''[[Holly Tanaka]] (COM)''': The Covenant glassed this planet in [[2548|'48]].
