*"I requested your assistance, Commander, and do not need a report on events that occur on my own doorstep. What I do require is a detailed account of your previous engagement-"
*"[[Jorge-052|Jorge]]. It's been too long."
*"What have you done with my armor?"
*"Indeed. Visegrad Relay. Its data center was home to one of my xeno-archaeologists, Professor Laszlo Sorvad. Perhaps you could shed some light on his death."
*"Irrelevant. The [[Sangheili|Elites]]. Tell me more about them."
*"[[Sangheili Zealot|Zealots]]? You're certain?"
*"Your primary objective? Commander, are [[Carter-A259|you]] a puppet or a Spartan?"
*"There are those at ONI, myself included, who believe the Covenant dispatch Elite advance teams to hunt down artifacts of value to their religion. Survivor accounts suggest such teams are small, nimble, and almost always Zealot-class. No doubt they came to the station for the abundance of ONI excavation data stored there. And you let them get away."
*"Professor Sorvad's final entry in his field notes made reference to a "latchkey discovery". Latchkey... not a word he would use lightly. So let's hope that the data module your Lieutenant Commander stole contains it."
*"Before you ask, I was alerted the moment you attempted to access its contents. As I am with any unauthorized tap. That data is classified Tier One... I could send you to the brig for interfering with my work."
*"Are you threatening me, Commander?"
*"That... will be all, Jorge."
===[[The Package (level)|The Package]]===
*"Apologies for the unusual security measures, Commander, but the stakes demand it."
*"Yes, well, as they say...news of my death has been greatly exaggerated. I only wish the same could be said of the rest of Noble Team."
*"It may please you to learn the data module Noble Two procured from the Visegrád station contained precisely what my scientist promised: a latchkey discovery. It has unlocked, at last, the secrets of this excavation."
*"Your orders were a pretext to bring you to me, and have been overridden. You are here, Team Noble, to assure the delivery of this vital data to a secure location."
*"Others will handle the demolition."
*"Colonel Holland will be briefed. You belong to ONI now."
*"Before you is an alien artifact neither Human nor Covenant in origin. Advanced beyond our comprehension...until now. Thanks to Noble Two, the decryption of its data is nearly complete."
*"The decrypting process is still underway..."
*"Bury any of it, and you bury mankind's best chance of survival! Commander, you've been wondering what your Spartans died for? They died for this. Please. Buy me all the time you can."
*"Spartans, you cannot allow the Covenant to break through the door to my lab."
*"I need more time. Whatever you need to do, do it."
*"Package is almost ready. Just a little more."
*"Well done, Spartans! I'm opening the laboratory door."
*"Knowledge. A birthright from an ancient civilization. This AI is its custodian, and she has chosen you as her couriers."
*"By this AI, yes. Her measure of you carries as much weight as my own..."
*"...Perhaps more. You are to take her to the UNSC ship-breaking yards in Aszod. There, you will find a Halcyon-class cruiser waiting to get her off-planet."
*"Do you? Mankind is outmatched. When Reach falls - and it will fall - our annihilation is all but certain. Unless...we can glean from this artifact a defense against the Covenant. A game-changer. On the level of the conical bullet in the nineteenth century, or faster-than-light travel in the twenty-third."
*"An apt question, if there were somewhere else to place our hope. There is not."
*"Take it, Lieutenant... She has made her choice."
*"Do you have it?"
*"Say the words, please."
*"I require no escort, Commander-"
===[[Lone Wolf]]===
*"It didn't take long for Reach to fall. Our enemy was ruthless. Efficient. But they weren't nearly fast enough. For you had already passed the torch. And because of you, we found Halo, unlocked its secrets, shattered our enemy's resolve. Our victory - your victory - was so close... I wish you could have lived to see it. But you belong to Reach. Your body, your armor - all burned and turned to glass. Everything...except your courage. That, you gave to us. And with it, we can rebuild."
