*'''John''': "More hostiles. Ready up." | *'''John''': "More hostiles. Ready up." | ||
''The Phantom flies away as Blue Team attacks. They clear the canyon then head into a tunnel where more Covenant have taken position.'' | |||
*'''Sangheili''': "Form up! We must not allow the humans to tread in the holy land!" | |||
''If the player stalls.'' | |||
*'''Fred''': "We should move on. Don't want any Covenant patrols getting the drop on us." | |||
''More Covenant are further in the tunnel.'' | |||
*'''Unggoy 1''': "We going inside yet?" | |||
*'''Unggoy 2''': "No. Stupid shield is still in the way." | |||
''When they see the player.'' | |||
*'''Unggoy''': "The Demon! Run!" | |||
''Blue Team exits the tunnel. They see another Forerunner gate at the top of the hill.'' | |||
*'''John''': "There's a Forerunner facility here." | |||
*'''Fred''': "Covenant seem to think it should belong to them." | |||
*'''John''': "Break through their line." | |||
''The Spartans engage the Covenant, who have set up [[Shade]] turrets at the gate.'' | |||
*'''Sangheili''': "Drive the humans back! This temple is ours!" | |||
''Blue Team reaches the top of the hill. An energy shield blocks further passage.'' | |||
*'''John''': "The path is shielded." | |||
''When the Covenant troops are defeated, the shield disappears.'' | |||
*'''John''': "Area clear. Move up. The shield lowered when the last of the Covenant dropped." | |||
*'''Fred''': "Almost like someone was trying to keep the Covenant out." | |||
*'''Linda''': "But not us." | |||
*'''Kelly''': "Assuming we're right and Cortana is on this planet, how did she get here?" | |||
*'''John''': "[[Mantle's Approach|The Didact's ship]] was pulled into slipspace. It could have ended up anywhere." | |||
''The Spartans head into the temple. Inside another console appears, which also whistles Oly Oly Oxen Free.'' | |||
*'''Fred''': "The signal again." | |||
*'''Kelly''': "Activate the console?" | |||
*'''John''': "Seems like we're supposed to." | |||
''John touches the console's hologram, this time dragging the right circle into the middle one. The console folds into the elevator, which lifts Blue Team down its tunnel. The circular building in the distance begins spinning faster.'' | |||
*'''John''': "More activity around the large structure." | |||
*'''Linda''': "Chief, what's happening to that building when we use these consoles?" | |||
*'''John''': "I don't know." | |||
*'''Fred''': "Too bad the Forerunners didn't think to leave a manual." | |||
*'''Kelly''': "If that signal is Cortana, she's leading us to the consoles." | |||
*'''Fred''': "She hasn't proven the most reliable guide recently." | |||
*'''John''': "We keep going. We find out what's happening." | |||
''The elevator stops at a tunnel leading to the outside. Blue Team reaches the edge of a chasm. As they exit, another slipspace portal bearing a Guardian appears.'' | |||
*'''John''': "It's another one of those..." | |||
*'''Kelly''': "I wonder... have the Covenant been coming through with them?" | |||
*'''Linda''': "Stands to reason. Any ships caught in the slipspace bubble would be pulled through." | |||
''A [[light bridge]] appears to ford the chasm.'' | |||
*'''John''': "Light bridge activated on approach." | |||
*'''Kelly''': "We're definitely being led somewhere." | |||
''Fade to black.'' | |||
'''{''Cutscene''}''' | |||
''The Spartans cross the light bridge to the other side, reaching a threshold leading to a canyon path. They look around cautiously.'' | |||
''The light bridge deactivates behind them. The Spartans watch it fade away, until Fred turns to look down the path.'' | |||
*'''Fred''': "Chief. Look." | |||
''The Spartans turn and see a dead Elite. They walk over to inspect its body.'' | |||
*'''Kelly''': "What did this?" | |||
''The Spartans look ahead, and see more dead Covenant littering the path.'' | |||
''Cut to a bird's eye view of the Spartans heading down the canyon amid the corpses. They keep their guns at the ready. Fred steps over a Jackal while Linda watches their back with [[Nornfang|her sniper rifle]].'' | |||
''The Spartans round a corner and reach a door marking the end of the path. It appears to be closed, for now.'' | |||
''A mechanical body steps out in front of the door. It is the [[Warden Eternal]]. The Spartans level their guns at him.'' | |||
*'''John''': "Identify yourself." | |||
*'''Warden''': "I am the Warden Eternal. I stand in defense of Cortana." | |||
*'''John''': "She called me to her." | |||
*'''Warden''': "And you came ''scampering''." | |||
''The Warden steps toward John, towering over him. The other Spartans step back to surround the Warden, but he only watches John.'' | |||
*'''Warden''': "She knows your forgotten name. Who you were before you were 117." | |||
''John lowers his assault rifle a bit, struck by his claim.'' | |||
*'''Warden''': "Do you find it odd, your trusted companion should keep so much to herself?" | |||
*'''John''': "Take me to Cortana." | |||
*'''Warden''': "Not just yet." | |||
''The Warden vanishes into a slipspace portal.'' | |||
*'''Warden''': "Come. Let us talk some more." | |||
''The door behind Warden opens. The Spartans head inside, and it slowly shuts behind them.'' | |||
