'''{''Gameplay''}''' | |||
*'''[[Fernando Esparza|Pilot]] (COM)''': "Ready when you are, Chief." | |||
''The Chief boards ''Echo 216. | |||
'''{''Cutscene''}''' | |||
''The Chief steps inside the Pelican.'' | |||
*'''Pilot (COM)''': "Alright, let's move." | |||
''The Pelican begins to lift off. The Chief stands next to the troop bay's entrance and stares out the open door while holding onto a side rail with one hand.'' | |||
*'''Pilot (COM)''': "How long has it been since I met you? Six hours? Maybe seven. It's been... eventful. Six months on my own, surviving... barely. Seems like a dream now. ''This'' on the other hand... mostly feels like a nightmare. Mostly." | |||
*'''[[The Weapon|Weapon]]''': "Chief?" | |||
''The Chief opens his free hand, allowing the Weapon's avatar to materialize on it. For a moment, she just silently stares out the Pelican's door as it flies over the Ring. She glances at the Chief, then looks away, hesitant to ask her question. Finally, she looks up at him again and asks her question. '' | |||
*'''Weapon''': ''(concerned)'' "Are you okay?" | |||
''The Chief turns and looks down at her.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "What you said back there. About [[Cortana]]. You let her down? I don't understand. Your mission was to-" | |||
*'''John-117''': "Destroy her." | |||
*'''Weapon''': "But you didn't. What happened?" | |||
*'''John-117''': "[[Catherine Halsey|Halsey]] initialized you. I was suppose to deploy you." | |||
*'''Weapon''': "And you did. Right?" | |||
*'''John-117''': "Yes." | |||
*'''Weapon''': "So what happened?" | |||
''The Chief hesitates for a few seconds before answering.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "[[Atriox]] came for you. He attacked the ''[[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]]''. [[Battle over Installation 07|We fought. He won.]]" | |||
*'''Weapon''': ''(stunned)'' "He won?" | |||
''Scene slowly rotates around them.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': ''(looking away slightly)'' "Atriox beat me. Surgically. Precisely. Brutally. Next thing I remember I was [[Warship Gbraakon|being woken up in this Pelican.]]" | |||
*'''Weapon''': ''(quietly)'' "You want to know who killed her? You need to know." | |||
''She places a hand to her chest.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "She was important to you. Very important." | |||
*'''John-117''': "She's..." | |||
''He trails off, clearly not comfortable talking about this.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': ''(changing subjects)'' "[[Installation 07|This Ring]]. It's not like the others. There's something else here." | |||
*'''Weapon''': "And that's why I'm still here?" | |||
''The Chief doesn't reply. The Weapon's avatar disappears as the Pelican begins to descend.'' | |||
*'''Pilot (COM)''': "Second Spire coming up. Where do I drop you off?" | |||
''The Chief turns to the troop bay's opening and prepares to disembark.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "Close." | |||
''The Pelican reaches its destination.'' | |||
*'''Pilot (COM)''': "Close it is. Call me when you're done, Chief." | |||
''The Chief jumps out of the Pelican and lands near the base of the Spire.'' | |||
'''{''Gameplay''}''' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Wow! Look at the Spire! It's so... new. Evolved. Different. Not like the last one." | |||
*'''John-117''': "And you're sure this is the one?" | |||
*'''Weapon''': "It's acting as the Command Spire. Coordinating the repair operation." | |||
*'''John-117''': "Can you shut it down?" | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Hopefully. We just need to look for a door." | |||
''The Chief starts searching for the Command Spire's entrance. It doesn't take long for him to find a door. After eliminating the Banished troops guarding the door, he deploys the Weapon onto a nearby terminal.'' | |||
'''{''Cutscene''}''' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "I'll get this open." | |||
''Smiling confidently and with her back to the door, the Weapon raises her hand and snaps her fingers. The Chief approaches the door, his weapon pointed at it. When nothing happens, he lowers his weapon and turns to her.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "Is there a problem?" | |||
*'''Weapon''': "I don't think so." | |||
''She turns to face the door directly and snaps her fingers three more times. The door remains locked. Defeated, the Weapon turns back to the Chief.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Okay, there might be a problem. Something, and I think we know [[The Harbinger|who]], has modified the sequencing needed to access the spires." | |||
*'''John-117''': "Plan B?" | |||
*'''Weapon''': "We're only at B? Seems higher." | |||
''There's a rumbling sound from nearby. They look up to see a beam of blue energy - just like the one they and the Pilot saw back at the ship graveyard - shoot out from a [[Forerunner]] structure on a cliff.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Okay... plan B." | |||
''The Chief uploads her back into his armor.'' | |||
'''{''Gameplay''}''' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Those Beacons are part of a Ring-wide communications network. They can adapt to any frequency, any purpose. It's quite incredibly really. Get me inside and I should be able to use the pulse to reconstruct a pure version of the sequence." | |||
*'''John-117''': "Should?" | |||
*'''Weapon''': "I'm making this up as I go along." | |||
*'''Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker)''': "The Command Spire must not fall! Deploy promptly! Hunt [[John-117|him]] down! Wipe him from this Ring!" | |||
''A pair of [[Kaelum Workshop Banshee|Banished Banshee]]s descend upon the Chief.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "You see that, Chief? What are they?" | |||
*'''John-117'': "Banshees." | |||
