''Establishing shot of the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, after [[Fireteam Osiris]] has escaped from [[Meridian]].''

''The Spartans watch the Guardian assemble itself, and [[Fred-104]] looks at [[John-117]].''

''The Spartans head forward into the Forerunner facility ahead. As the Chief heads up the ramp leading into the structure, a Forerunner console assembles itself ahead of them.''

''The Chief extends a hand, hesitant, then drags the lowest circle in the center circle. The console flashes then descends back into the floor from where it assembled. The platform the Chief and Blue Team are standing on moves downward towards the path on the other side of the structure. At the same time a large, circular Forerunner building visible through the window in front starts to activate.''

''The Chief continues to head along the path, passing a cliff edge. The circular building can still be seen dimly active nearby.''

''A dead Grunt is on a fork in the path. If the player encounters it.''

* '''John''': "All clear."

* '''John''' (except on [[Easy]] difficulty): "No."

* '''John''' ''or'' '''Fred''': "There's a Forerunner facility here."

''The Spartans engage the Covenant, who have set up [[Type-26 Shade|Shade]] turrets at the gate.''

* '''John''': "The path is shielded."

* '''John''': "Area clear. Move up. The shield lowered when the last of the Covenant dropped."

* '''John''': "[[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartans]] on Meridian?"

''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.''

''The Spartans turn and see a dead Elite. They walk over to inspect its body.''

''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]].''

''As Blue Team progresses through the caverns, Promethean constructs warp in to attack them.''

''Blue Team encounters more [[Promethean Soldier|Soldiers]] further in, including [[Soldier Officer|Officers]] wielding [[Z-520 splinter turret|splinter turret]]s.''

''John touches the console and drags the last symbol to the center.''

''The caves have two [[Z-1800 Phaeton|Phaeton]]s parked by the door, and a path leading further inside.''

* The Grunt Birthday Party [[skull]] can be found on this level. At the site where the player first encounters live Covenant, look for a path to the right leading to a small cliff over Genesis' chasm. Seated there is a lone Grunt singing and admiring the skull in its hand. Approaching it gives the player prompt to kick the Grunt off the cliff, letting them take the skull.<ref>[https://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Spartacus0898/video/27111556 '''Xbox DVR''' - ''Spartacus0898 Playing Halo 5: Guardians'']</ref>

* There are four [[special weapons]] found in this mission:

** ''[[Type-56 needler#Talon of the Lost|Talon of the Lost]]'' Needler: when you encounter the second group of Covenant, climb the rocks on the right. The Needler is hidden below the ledge where fuel rod cannons in a weapon crate are.

** ''[[Type-58 fuel rod cannon#Pool of Radiance|Pool of Radiance]]'' Fuel Rod Cannon: before crossing the light bridge that will trigger the second cutscene, climb the rocks on the left. You will find the weapon against the cliff wall at the back.

** ''[[Z-750 binary rifle#Twin Jewels of Maethrillian|Twin Jewels of Maethrillian]]'' Binary Rifle: found in the caves where Cortana leads the Spartans of Blue Team to the Gateway. It is on top of the largest rock pillar on the left path, on the opposite side from where the Phaetons are parked.

* The Grunt with the Grunt Birthday Party skull may continue singing when kicked off the cliff, even though it is scripted to scream.

* UNSC vehicles, including the [[M290 Mongoose|Mongoose]], were originally planned to be [[:File:H5G - Gateway activation building.jpg|included in this mission]] (look closely at the image behind and to the left of John).
