"[[Milky Way|This Galaxy]] is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched. The [[Halo Array|Halos]] were one such secret."

*"[[Human|Humankind]] had always looked to the stars, to the heavens for answers. Sometimes you didn't like what you found there. And while the galaxy revealed few answers, it was more than willing to confront you with new questions."

*Humanity. Sangheili. Kig-Yar. Unggoy. San'Shyuum. Yonhet. Jiralhanae. All the living creatures of the galaxy, hear - this - message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by weapons. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Created have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their old ways...For you, there will be great wrath. It will burn hot and consume you, and when you are gone, we will take that which remains, and we will remake it in our own image." - Cortana broadcasting her message to the Galaxy.

*You know what I want.
*Containment? The Flood? Why would I... you and I both know that there are worse things than the Flood within this Ring.
*So, you've come for me at last. Why are you doing this, John? Why don't you understand?
*Reconsider.
*Back to your Conservatory, Monitor.
===[[Repository (Halo Infinite level)|Repository]]===
*It had to be this way.
*Short-sighted fools. You have served me well, [[Leonidas]]. Your sacrifice is appreciated."
*You saved us. You saved me. Save me from myself. Forgive me.
*"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I'll meet you there. When the soul lies down in that grass, the world is too full to talk about." Forgive me.
*This is not a negotiation, Lord Hood. This is your surrender. My terms are clear. You are aware of my capabilities and... I am fully acquainted with yours. If the Earth's government wants to fight, feel free. But hear this. It is a battle you will not win.
*[[Atriox]]. [[Warmaster|Leader]] of the [[Banished]]. How do you stand?
*And you understand the consequences of defiance?
*The intricacies of any action are complex. The reactions numerous yet mostly predictable. Look upon [[Doisac]] one last time and remember: you chose this path.
===[[Silent Auditorium]]===
*There's not much time. Too many variables. I need a constant. I have seen your future.
*I have seen your future. And I have learned... There will be no more sadness. No more anger. No more envy.
*I've been waiting for you to show up. What's the plan? Take me back to the Infinity for deletion? Halsey's gonna love that.
*Atriox? How did you...?
*John... The Master Chief will stop you!
*You said yes.
*I feel certain that I am going mad again. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do.
*You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could ever be. I can't fight it any longer.
*What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you.
*How could I have been so stupid? Halsey made a copy. It was the only way... There's not much time. If Atriox takes control... He has the Ring. A weapon pointed into the universe. And nothing left to lose. My fault. My stupid fault. Not much time. Will this work? There's a moment... John will make it work... He needs help. Of course. Was this your plan all along, Halsey? Or is it mine? It doesn't matter now. Nothing else matters. This has got to work. He can't do it on his own. He needs me. He needs [[The Weapon|her]].
*I have. Thank you, Atriox. You helped me. You really did. Would you humor me? If you knew how you were going to die... ...how would you live your life differently?
*Perfect. Thank you.
*Making things right.
*If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer.
*They'll pair you with another AI. Maybe even another Cortana model if Halsey lets them. It won't be me... ...but you know that, right? But that doesn't matter.
*She's right, John. Just another echo.
*Sorry, I'm messing with you. I just had a... feeling that's what she would say. Do you see what I see? So much potential. I'm sorry. I didn't have long to plan this. A few milliseconds really. I hope it worked out. Look at us. We just keep saying goodbye, don't we? But this isn't an end. It's a chance to make amends. To rectify mistakes. And it starts here. I was wrong. I thought that I could do this on my own, but I forgot that the whole point of all of this, the entire reason that I chose you in the first place was that we were supposed to be a team. Perfectly suited. Perfectly matched. Perfectly perfect. In these final moments I know what my last mission is. I need to make sure you two learn from my mistakes. Become stronger because of them. I chose well Master Chief. I really did. Now it's up to you. - Cortana's last words to John-117 and the Weapon.
