 *"This cave is not a natural formation. Someone built it, so it must lead somewhere. I've hacked into the Covenant [[Battlenet]]. They're actually broadcasting tactical data on unencrypted channels. We should show them who they're dealing with. Master Chief? I'm going to use your [[MJOLNIR|suit]]'s transponder system to monitor their chatter." - In the cave structure in the Halo's surface.
 *"New traffic on the Covenant Battlenet...a lot more crew made it off the Autumn than I had predicted—the Captain really gave them hell! If we can find Captain Keyes and other survivors, we have a chance to coordinate an effective resistance."
 *"New traffic on the Covenant Battlenet! I've found Captain Keyes! He's being held on a Covenant cruiser, the [[Truth and Reconciliation|''Truth and Reconciliation'']], a ship I disabled before we abandoned the Autumn. The ''Truth and Reconciliation'' touched down on a desert plateau roughly three hundred kilometers up spin."
 *"There's our ride. Get aboard, and let's get out of here." - When Foe Hammer approaches.

 *"The Covenant use a [[Gravity Lift]] to ferry troops and supplies between the ship and the surface. We need to ambush them at the loading zone, and use the lift to enter the ship."
 *"We're in. I've got a good lock on the Captain's [[Command Neural Interface|CNI transponder]]. No Covenant defenses detected." - On board the Truth and Reconciliation.
 *"Chief, let's see if we can find a way to open this door."
 *"I'd like to see ''you'' crack a 128,000-bit modulating encryption key." - About opening the door, to the Master Chief.
 *"One moment, sir. Accessing Covenant Battlenet. According to the data in their networks, the [[Halo|ring]] has some kind of deep religious significance. If I'm analyzing this correctly...they believe that Halo is some kind of weapon. One with vast, unimaginable power." - After Captain Keyes and the Marines were set free.
 *"Now I see...I have intercepted a number of messages about a Covenant search team, scouting for a "[[Control Room]]". I thought they were looking for the bridge of a cruiser I damaged in the battle above the ring. But they must be looking for Halo's control room."
 === [[The Silent Cartographer (Level)|The Silent Cartographer]] ===
 *"The Covenant believe that what they call 'The Silent Cartographer' is somewhere under this island. The Cartographer is a map room that will lead us to Halo's Control Center. The island has multiple structures and installations and one of them contains the map room."
 *"There, in the cliff wall. I'll bet the Silent Cartographer is somewhere inside that facility."
 *"They're already inside! We need to get in there quick, before they discover the location of Halo's Control Center!" - On [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulty.
 *"The Covenant are putting up a real fight! Cartographer must be here. My analysis indicates that the map room should be at the bottom floor of this facility. Let's keep going inside.
 *"Don't let them lock the doors!" - When fighting the Elites and Grunts guarding the door leading to the Silent Cartographer.
 *"Interesting. I underestimated the Covenant's understanding of Halo's subsystems. They've locked the doors, and we don't have enough firepower to get through them. Cortana to Captain Keyes."

 *"Keep trying. Let me know when you've reestablished contact, and then tell him that the Master Chief and I have determined the location of the Control Center. We'll be heading there as soon as we're topside." - To Foe Hammer.
 *"Let's get moving. Foe Hammer. Here are coordinates and a flight plan I've worked out."
 *"The Covenant did a thorough seismic scan. My analysis shows that Halo is honeycombed with deep tunnels, which circle the whole ring." - When Foe Hammer brought to Cortana's attention, that the coordinates lead to the underground.
 *"Look on the bright side, Foe Hammer: The last thing the Covenant will expect is an aerial insertion...from underground."

 *"The Covenant presence here is stronger than I anticipated. They seem to have the entire region secured."
 *"Interesting... the weather patterns here seem natural, not artificial. I wonder if the ring's environment systems are malfunctioning... or if the [[Forerunners|designers]] wanted the installation to have inclement weather." - On the first bridge.
 *"I thought the Covenant had eliminated all the Marine forces in this area."
 *"We need to get up this ridge. Marines, hold your positions. We'll handle those guns. Master Chief, we should scale the ridge and get below those stationary guns."
 *"Resistance appears to be increasing. We must be close to the Control Center." - In the circular room, near the third chasm.
 *"Analyzing. This must be the Control Room. Subtle. The entrance to the Control Room is at the top of that pyramid structure. Bring me up there and I should be able to get us inside."
 *"This is it: Halo's Control Center." - When the Master Chief entered the Control Room.
 *"That terminal, try there." - Briefing the Master Chief, to put her chip into control panel.
 *"Never been better...you can't imagine the wealth of information. Knowledge...so much...so fast. It's glorious!"
 *"What are you talking about?" - When the Master Chief asked her, what sort of weapon Halo is.
 *"This ring isn't a cudgel, you barbarian: it's something else...something much more important. The Covenant were right...this ring...it's Forerunner. Give me a second to access... Yes, the Forerunners built this place, what they called a 'fortress world,' in order to... No, that can't be. Oh, those Covenant fools, they must have known; there must have been signs!"
 *"The Covenant found something, buried in this ring, something horrible, and now...they're afraid."
 *"The weapons cache he's looking for. It's not really -.. We can't let him get inside!"
 *"There's no time. Get out of here, find Keyes, stop him! Before it's too late!"

 *"I've spent the last 12 hours cooped up in here, watching you toady about, helping that thing get set to slit our throats!"
 *"Oh? I didn't realize. He's your pal, is he? Your chum? Do you have any idea what that bastard almost made you do?!"
 *"You sure that's a good idea?" - Smiling ironically, when 343 Guilty Spark wanted to purge her.
 *"Do what? I have the Index! ''You'' can just float and sputter!"
 *"You have no idea how this ring works, do you? Why the Forerunners built it? Halo doesn't kill Flood, it kills their food: Humans, Covenant, whatever—we're all equally edible. The only way to stop the Flood is to starve them to death. And that's exactly what Halo is designed to do: wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life. You don't believe me? Ask [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|him]]."
 *"Left out that little detail, did he?"
 *"Chief, I'm picking up movement!"
 *"We need to go, right now."
 *"We can't let the Monitor activate Halo. We have to stop him. We have to destroy Halo. According to my analysis of the available data, I believe the best course of action is somewhat... risky. An explosion of sufficient size will help destabilize the ring, and will cut through a number of primary systems; we need to trigger a detonation on a large scale, however. A star ship's fusion reactors going critical would do the job. I'm going to search what's left of the Covenant Battlenet, and see if I can locate the Pillar of Autumn's crash-site. If the ship's fusion reactors are still relatively intact, we can use them to destroy Halo." - When the Master Chief is leaving the Control Room.
 *"That's the pulse generator. The center core is the signal amplifier. That's what we need to shut down. We need to interrupt the pulse generator's energy stream. I've adjusted your [[Energy Shield|shield]] system so that it will deliver an EMP burst to disrupt the Generator. You will need to walk into the beam to trigger it. The EMP blast should neutralize the generator; but it will also drain your shields, and you will be vulnerable until they recharge."
 *"I've located the Pillar of Autumn. She put down twelve-hundred kilometers upspin. Energy readings show her fusion reactors are still powered up. The systems on the Pillar of Autumn have fail safes that even I can't override, without authorization from the Captain. We'll need to find him or his neural implants, to start the fusion core detonation. One target remaining. Let's take care of the final pulse generator."
 *"No, that'll take too long."

 *"The Covenant network is in absolute chaos! From what I've been able to piece together, their leadership ordered all ships to abandon Halo when they found the Flood, but they were too late. The Flood overwhelmed this cruiser and disabled it. The Covenant are terrified the Flood will repair the ship and use it to escape from Halo. They've sent in a strike team to kill the Flood and repair the ship for immediate departure. I've got a good lock on Captain Keyes' CNI transponder signal! He's alive! And the implants are intact! There's some interference from the cruiser's damaged reactor. I'll bring us in as close as I can."
 *"Oh... I see! Coordinate data needs to be—" - When the Master Chief was teleported in upside down.
 *"Right. Sorry." - When the Master Chief hits a part of his helmet with his fist.
 *"Analyzing damage...This hole was caused by some kind of explosive. Very powerful if it tore through a ship's hull. All I detect down there are pools of coolant. We should continue our search somewhere else." - In a hangar with a large hole in the floor.
 *"Warning! Threat level increasing!"
 *"That jump into the coolant is looking better all the time, Chief!"
 *"Trust me! It's deep enough to cushion our fall!"
 *"Chief, we need to jump now!" - When you're still refusing to jump to the hole.
 *"Power source detected. There's the Gravity Lift. It's still operational! That's our way back in!" - When you've reached the Gravity Lift.
 *"The Covenant Battlenet is a mess. I can't access the ship's schematics. My records indicate that a shuttle bay should be... Here." - Marking the target with a nav point.
 *"Look, in the corners. The Flood are gathering bodies here." - In the large hangar.
 *"He's delirious! In pain! We have to find him!"
 *"The Captain! His vitals are fading! Please, Chief, hurry!" - After the last message from Captain Keyes.
 *"No human life-signs detected. The Captain! He's one of... [[Flood |them]]. We can't let the Flood get off this ring! You know what he'd expect... What he'd want us to do."
 *"It's done. I have the code. We should go. We need to get back to the Pillar of Autumn. Let's go back to the shuttle bay and find a ride."
 *"Perfect. Grab one of the escort Banshees, and use it to return to the Pillar of Autumn."

 *"I need you to upload me into the control systems. The terminal is located next to the main viewscreen."
 *"I leave home for a few days, and look what happens. This won't take long." - When she appears from the terminal.
 *"There. That should give us enough time to make it to a lifeboat and put some distance between ourselves and Halo before the detonation."
 *"He's in my data arrays, a local tap!"
 *"At least I still have control over the comm channels." - To the Master Chief.
 *"I'm detecting taps throughout the ship, Sentinels most likely. As for the Monitor... he's in Engineering. He must be trying to take the core offline! Even if I could get the countdown restarted ... I don't know what to do."
 *"The ship was heavily damaged when it crashed. Head to the cryochamber. We should be able to get to the engine room through there."
 *"Engine room located. We're here." - When you entered to the Engineering.
 *"Alert! The Monitor has disabled all command access. We can't restart the countdown. The only remaining option is to detonate the ship's fusion reactors. That should do enough damage to destroy Halo. Don't worry, I have access to all of the reactor schematics and procedures. I'll walk you through it. First, we need to pull back the exhaust couplings. That will expose a shaft that leads to the primary fusion drive core."
