 ==Transcript==
-{{expand-section}}
+'''{''Cutscene''}'''
+''Fade in to the canyon where the [[Swords of Sanghelios]] are stationed. A Phantom carrying [[Fireteam Osiris]] and slows to a hover over a ledge to land.''
+===TO THE HUNT===
+'''{''Gameplay''}'''
+''[[Jameson Locke]] and the other Spartans drop down from the Phantom. A Sword of Sanghelios [[Sangheili Storm|Storm Elite]] runs past. The [[Forerunner]] [[Constructor]] also exits the Phantom and flies toward Halsey.''
+*'''[[Olympia Vale]]''': "There goes the Constructor."
+*'''Locke''': "When it activates the [[Guardian]], we hit [[Sunaion]]. Let's report in to [[Sarah Palmer|Palmer]]."
+''If the player stalls''
+*'''[[Catherine Halsey]] (COM)''': "Spartans, the Constructor seems to working as planned, but it could take some time. Palmer was looking for you."
+====Sangheili Medical Tent====
+''A couple of Sangheili medics are conversing while tending to a couple of wounded Sangheili''
+*'''Sangheili Medic #1''': "The Arbiter anticipates heavy resistance from Sunaion."
+*'''Sangheili Medic #2''': "We will be prepared."
+*'''Sangheili Medic #1''': "When we have multiple patients, who do we treat first?"
+*'''Sangheili Medic #2''': "Begin with whoever holds the highest rank."
+*'''Sangheili Medic #1''': "Brother, if we treat by rank, lives will be needlessly lost."
+*'''Sangheili Medic #2''': "Listen, worm. I once witnessed a surgeon treating a Grunt's punctured lung, when a commander arrived with a broken leg."
+*'''Sangheili Medic #1''': "And he demanded treatment before the Grunt?"
+*'''Sangheili Medic #2''': "The commander waited for the moment, then limped to the operating table and snapped the surgeon's neck."
+*'''Sangheili Medic #1''': "By killing the surgeon, the commander endangered his troops. With no medical staff---"
+*'''Sangheili Medic #2''': "By returning to the frontlines, we avoid further casualties."
+*'''Sangheili Medic #1''': "Mainly our own."
+*'''Sangheili Medic #2''': "Call it cowardice if you will, but if we are dead, brother, who would care for the wounded?"
+*'''Sangheili Medic #1''': "We have traded our honor for a chance to save lives. Cowardice is far beneath us, brother."

+====Arbiter and Palmer====
+''Commander Sarah Palmer is speaking to the Arbiter [[Thel 'Vadam]], at his meeting tent.''
+*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "Everything is prepared. We will begin when the Constructor is ready."
+*'''Palmer''': "Dr. Halsey said the calibration could take days."
+*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "Then we will begin without it! I have waited too long to let this opportunity pass."
+*'''Palmer''': "What did you think of our Sunaion attack heading alterations?"
+*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "It is not the kind of plan I would expect from a human. You suggest flying low and close to the structure."
+*'''Palmer''': "What, you're saying your pilots aren't up to the challenge?"
+*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "I am moments from a decisive victory for my home planet, Commander Palmer. Do not try to goad me."
+*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "Today, the Covenant's spine will be broken. This is a glorious day for the Sangheili."
+*'''Palmer''': "You'll have Humanity's best beside you."
+====Reporting to Palmer====
+''If the player speaks to Palmer while she is talking to the Arbiter.''
+*'''Palmer''': "Halsey set the calibration. Let us take care of the guns. Just make sure you come through with that air support."
+*'''Locke''': "Commander? Mission complete. Doctor Halsey has the Constructor."
+*'''Palmer''': "Good work, Osiris. Once Halsey has the Constructor sorted, Arbiter's people can move on Sunaion, and I'll get her off world."
+====Reporting to Halsey====
+''Dr. Halsey is at the Constructor control balcony. The Constructor is floating above her.''
+*'''Halsey''': "Osiris? Come look at this!"
+''If the player speaks to her.''
+*'''Halsey''': "I'm using this structure to upload the recording from Meridian into the Constructor. Make sure you're ready to go when I give the signal."
+*'''Locke''': "Standing by, Doctor."
+*'''Halsey''': "Get comfortable. It could be hours before-"
+''The Constructor beeps and begins flying away.''
+*'''Halsey''': "I take it back! It's headed for Sunaion! It's moving toward the Guardian!"
+*'''Locke''': "Arbiter! It's time!"
+''Fade to black''
+'''{''Cutscene''}'''
+''Fade in to Swords Banshees and a Sword Phantom zooming over the sky. On the ground, the Arbiter lifts his lit energy sword, the [[Prophets' Bane]].''
+*'''Thel 'Vadam''': "Today the [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|Covenant]] will fall! [[Sanghelios]] will be free!"
+''The other Storm Elites roar and light their energy swords. They then walk to their dropships, the Spartans and Halsey following.''
+*'''Halsey''': "You know what I did to create the Spartans. All in the name of the greater good."
+*'''Locke''': "Doctor, we don't have time-"
+*'''Halsey''': "[[Cortana]] is built from a matrix of my own mind. The [[Domain]] gives her incredible power."
+*'''Locke''': "I understand."
+''Locke turns and begins to walk away.''
+*'''Halsey''': "Spartan Locke!"
+''Locke turns to face Halsey.''
+*'''Halsey''': "Stop her. But please. Bring John home to me."
+''Halsey looks at Locke pleadingly. Fade to black.''
+''Level ends.''
+==Trivia==
+*There is an [[Mission Intel|Intel Log]] where [[Murok 'Vadam]] led the Covenant to the Arbiter at the [[Elder Council Chamber]], and was summarily executed for his betrayal. According to the novel ''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]'', Murok was not the [[Koida 'Vadam|first known member]] of Thel's [[House of Vadam|keep]] to betray him and eventually die at his hands. Him assassinating  the last Covenant Elites was his introduction scene to this game, while him killing his would-be-assassins was his introduction in the aforementioned novel.
+===Easter eggs===
+*In this level, there is an [[Mission Intel|Intel Log]] where a Unggoy named [[Gribyam]], self-proclaimed biologist, was observing Dr. Halsey, and coming up with very absurd notes of Human biology.
