'' | ''(Three [[Pelican]]s rocket away from ''[[UNSC In Amber Clad|In Amber Clad]]'', jet engines thundering, and spear out towards [[New Mombasa]]. The [[Assault Carrier]] hovers high over the city, [[Gravity Lift]] engaged.)'' | ||
'''Cortana''' | '''Cortana (Radio):''' The message just repeats. 'Regret, Regret, Regret.' | ||
'' | ''(The [[Master Chief]] watches from the stern of a Pelican as the clouds roll by below.)'' | ||
''' | '''[[Commander Keyes]] (Radio):''' Catchy. Any idea what it means? | ||
''' | '''[[Sergeant Johnson]] (Radio):''' ''(as the dropships approach the outskirts of Mombasa, passing over a convoy of [[Warthog]]s)'' Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to [[Earth]]. | ||
'' | ''(Inside the cockpit of the Pelican, Johnson leans against the bulkhead behind the two pilots.)'' | ||
''' | '''Sergeant Johnson:''' And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet! | ||
'''Pilots (in unison):''' Hoo-rah! | |||
''' | '''Cortana (Radio):''' Regret is a name, Sergeant. The name of one of the [[Covenant]]'s [[High Prophets|religious leaders]]. A [[Prophet]]. [[Prophet of Regret|He's]] on that carrier, and he's calling for help. | ||
'' | ''(A [[Marine]] sniper/spotter team lies prone on a rooftop, and the Pelicans pass over their position.)'' | ||
''' | '''Marine (Radio):''' Immediate; Grid kilo 23 is hot. Recommend mission abort. | ||
'''Johnson''' | '''Pilot (Radio):''' Roger, recon. ''(To Sergeant Johnson)'' It's your call, Sarge. | ||
'' | '''Sergeant Johnson:''' We're going in. Get tactical, Marines! | ||
''' | '''[[Lord Hood]] (radio):''' Master Chief, get aboard that carrier, and secure the Prophet of Regret. This is the only place on Earth the Covenant decided to land. That Prophet is going to tell us why. | ||
'''Pilot''' | '''Pilot:''' Thirty seconds out... stand by to... whoa... | ||
''(The pilot goes silent as a huge [[Scarab|walking tank]] comes into view. Its leg spears a bus, and then its main gun focuses and fires, giving the lead Pelican a glancing blow. The two other Pelicans veer off, plasma turrets on the tank's bank tracking them. The lead Pelican flips inverted, hits a building, and slides through a low brick wall, before blacking out the frame.)'' | |||
''(Your view is blurry, and Cortana fakes tapping on your visor)'' | |||
'''Cortana''' | '''Cortana:''' Hey... wake up. | ||
'''Sergeant Johnson:''' Shake it off, Marines. Clear the crash site. Go, go, go! | |||
' | ===Part 02: They'll Regret That Too=== | ||
''( | ''(As you arrive at a bombed-out building and a firefight breaks out)'' | ||
'' | '''Marine 2:''' Secure this area! | ||
'''Johnson''': | '''Sergeant Johnson:''' If they didn't know we're here before, they do now. | ||
''([[Jackal]]s come around a corner)'' | |||
'''Sergeant Johnson:''' We got Jackals in the courtyard! | |||
''(Later, A group of [[Drones]] flies into view)'' | |||
'''Sergeant Johnson:''' Buggers, headin' over the rooftops! | |||
''(Later, The sound of [[Phantom]] engines drifts over the rooftop)'' | |||
'''Sergeant Johnson:''' Eyes up! Phantom's back! | |||
''(Later, another Pelican arrives, hovering over the courtyard)'' | |||
'''Pilot 2 (Radio):''' My girl's a little big for that courtyard, Sergeant. I see a good LZ on the other side of these buildings. Meet you there, over. | |||
'''Sergeant Johnson:''' Copy that. Someone get a satchel on the gate! | |||
''(A pair of [[Hunters]] breaks through the gate)'' | |||
'''Cortana:''' Hunters. | |||
'''Sergeant Johnson:''' Stand back, Marines. Let the Chief show you how it's done. | |||
''(Once the Hunters are down)'' | |||
'''Cortana (Radio):''' Second squad, this is Cortana. What's your status, over? | |||
'''Marine 3 (Radio):''' We're operational Ma'am, barely. Our pilots didn't make it. | |||
'''Cortana (Radio):''' Find a hole, stay put. We'll come to you. | |||
''(When you reach the far courtyard, a third Pelican drops in and unloads Marines.)'' | |||
'''Commander Keyes (Radio):''' Sergeant, I need you on that bird. | |||
'''Sergeant Johnson (Radio):''' Ma'am? | |||
'''Commander Keyes (Radio):''' My Pelicans are going to start airlifting armor and reinforcements into the city. They'll need an escort that isn't afraid of a little hostile ground fire. | |||
'''Sergeant Johnson (Radio):''' Understood. I'll keep an eye on 'em. Chief... good luck. | |||
''(Johnson climbs aboard the Pelican and dusts off)'' | |||
''(Once you reach the second squad's position)'' | |||
'''Marine 3:''' Chief! Glad you could make it. Crash site's on the other side of this [[Hotel Zanzibar|hotel]], Chief. Covenant are crawling all over it. Follow me. | |||
''(As you move into the darkened hotel)'' | |||
'''Marine 3:''' Stay outta sight. | |||
''(A Marine pulls up in a Warthog, honking the horn)'' | |||
'''Marine 3:''' The only tube left back there is (unintelligable). | |||
'''Cortana (Radio):''' That bridge is the most direct route to the city center. | |||
===Part 03: A Day at the Beach=== | |||
'''Marine 3:''' Oh man, I love the beach... | |||
'''Marine 2:''' I hope you packed a suit, mate! | |||
'''Cortana (Radio):''' Cut the chatter... we got trouble. | |||
''(As you negotiate the beach)'' | |||
'''Commander Keyes (Radio):''' Chief... the carrier just launched a wave of pods. They're inbound on your position. | |||
(Covenant [[Orbital Insertion Pods]] slam down on the beach all around you, and armed [[Elite]]s spring from them) | |||
'''Cortana:''' This tunnel leads up to the bridge. It's full of rats... but it beats swimming. | |||
''(As you move into the highway tunnel)'' | |||
'''Cortana:''' I've been analyzing the Covenant [[Battlenet|tactical chatter]]. They're surprised, confused... I don't think they expected us to be here. Not... you and me, all of us... humanity, on Earth. Odd, I know, but it does help explain why they came here with such a small fleet. | |||
===Part 04: Speed Zone Ahead=== | |||
''(When you come across a group of [[Shadow]]s in the tunnels)'' | |||
'''Cortana:''' The Covenant must be trying to regroup. Don't let them. | |||
''(Once you approach the exit of the tunnel, the level transitions)'' | |||
