Halo: Reach radio conversations: Difference between revisions

===Breakpoint===

Radio is located on the floor, next to the control panel near the window, in the Research Station.

*'''Golden Arrow''': Bravo zero-zero-one, this is Golden Arrow. I do believe you were steering that bird in the wrong direction, over.

*'''Bravo 001''': Negative [undecipherable], I'm flying blind! You need to point [[Mitchell|me]] in the direction of the LZ.

*'''Golden Arrow''': You got it, Bravo zero-zero-one; happy to oblige. Link up with Uniform Delta one-zero-one-five-three-niner-niner-zero, heading south-south-west. Slips about one-zero-zero knots. Advise you head for the tree tops and fly straight [undecipherable]. We got more of them problems of our own down here.

*'''Bravo 001''': I say again, "that's a negative", Golden Arrow. I've got [[Red Team|high value assets]] [undecipherable], caught fire on the way to Boneyard. Need an LZ clear, over.

*'''Golden Arrow''': With respect, Bravo, unless you have a cartful of tactics with my name on it, you don't have anything of value in that bird. Get your ass to evac.

*'''Bravo 001''': All right, Golden Arrow. If I can't set her down, I'll [undecipherable] on your head, out.

*'''Golden Arrow''': Well why didn't you say so? Come down close to the tree line at 2.3 klicks west of your current position. That's where me and my boys are, over.

*'''Bravo 001''': I'm gonna need that LZ cleared, Golden Arrow; I'm gonna be right on top of you in three mikes.

*'''Golden Arrow''': Hell, I'm gonna clear you a spot myself, Bravo. Look for the trooper with big-ass grin on his face.

*'''Bravo 001''': Roger that; I'll see you. Out.

Radio is located on a large concrete pad alongside the dirt trail labeled 'Mountain Road'.

*'''[[Recon 43]]''': Gamma 1 Actual, this is Recon 43. We are in position, over.

*'''[[Jake Chapman|Lt. Jake Chapman]]''': Recon 43, this is Gamma 1 Actual, gimme a radio check, over.

*'''Recon 43''': <fading in> Got eyes on three [[Ghost]]s and twenty-four infantry. Typical scout detachment, please advise.

*'''Chapman''': Recon 43, do not engage. Sit tight and keep your eyes and ears open. I say again, gimme a radio check, over.

*'''Chapman''': Recon 43, you are not cleared to engage. I say again, you are not cleared to engage.

*'''Chapman''': Is there anyone else close to their grid? Dammit!

*'''Recon 43''': Looks like we're on our own, boys. This is their eyes and ears, we flatten these guys and disengage, tag your targets and get ready to go loud on my mark.

*'''Chapman''': Recon 43, this is Gamma 1 Actual. I say again, you are to stand down and withdraw immediately, do not engage, over.

*'''Recon 43''': Fire, that's it, make 'em count! <gunfire>

*'''Chapman''': What do we have that we can send to support them? Dammit!

*'''Recon 43''': Pull back, move and shoot, move and shoot! Where the hell did all these hostiles come from?

*'''Chapman''': Tell [[Beta Romeo Actual]] that the company we are expecting is going to be arriving a little sooner than we anticipated. <fades out> (directed to Recon 43) I say again, you are not cleared to engage! Stow your weapons, we are reading multiple inbound hostiles in your sector—you do ''not'' want their attention, over!

*'''Recon 43''': Aw, damn! Tip of the spear, nothin', it's the whole god-forsaken fleet! Fire, fire, fire!

*'''Chapman''': Recon 43 respond. Check in. I say again, Recon 43, do you read me? Dammit. Get [[Red Team]] up and running, high alert. We're about to have company.

===Powerhouse===

Radio is located on the kitchen counter of the dormitory (area is labeled 'Dormitory', natch). The dormitory is the single story building south of the gate.

*'''Buckman''': Gamma 1, [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-412|Facility Alpha 412]] is overrun, and I'm heading to your location with what's left of Gamma 5, over.

*'''Chapman''': Gamma 5? damn, it's good to hear you. How many are you bringing? I thought [[UNSC Battle Network|BNet]] said your house got knocked down.

*'''Buckman''': Confirm. ODG-412 is slag. Lost all but fourteen able bodies. Making our way over in two 'Hogs and a radio van.

*'''Chapman''': The more the merrier. Looks like we got makin's for a party. Some honest-to-god Spartans are ridin' up here with some boys from [[Third Mechanized|Third Mech]] as we speak.

*'''Buckman''': Hate to break it to you, Gamma 1, but Covie's hit us with two divisions at A-412. How many Spartans you got on approach?

*'''Chapman''': Gamma 5, say again? That was two divisions, over?

*'''Buckman''': That's affirmative. We put a dent in 'em, but that's about it. The only reason I ain't one of them on the line with you right now is [[UNSC High Command|HighCom]] decided to drop every available asset right on top of em, and us. Over.

*'''Chapman''': Well, I hope you're bringing extra ammo, then, Gamma 5.

*'''Buckman''': All we could carry and then some. ETA twenty-five mike, out.

*'''[[Beta Red Actual]]''': Gamma 1 Actual, my team is in position. Get your people ready to move as soon as I give the signal, over.

*'''Chapman''': With respect Red, we might not be Spartans, but this is our home. My men will die here if I ask them to.

*'''Beta Red Actual''': I don't doubt that, Gamma 1 Actual. Let's hope we won't need them to. Defensive perimeter online.

*'''Chapman''': This is nuts. What in the hell are those autoturrets supposed to do against what they're bringin'? Over.

*'''Beta Red Actual''': Divide their attention.

*'''Beta Red Actual''': Visual. Thirty-two [[Wraith]]s moving with two hundred sixty infantry at two hundred meters, closing on our lines due west at six kilometers per hour. Beta Red, hold position until I trigger primaries, then close on their front line as fast as you can.

*'''Chapman''': Dammit, Red, I heard you [[SPARTAN-II|Spartans]] were crazy. Gamma 5, radio check over.

*'''[[Buckman|Lt. Buckman]]''': Five by five, Gamma 1 Actual. [[F-99 Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle|Drone]]'s holding station at over ten thousand feet. We got eyes on the whole damn thing.

*'''Chapman''': Those Spartans ''are'' crazy, they're gonna get us killed.

*'''Buckman''': Holy...! <static> You're ain't gonna believe this! Beta Red just punched right up into the guts of that Covie column! Ever see a Spartan go hand to hand with a Wraith? Unbelievable!

*'''Chapman''': What are eleven Spartans gonna do against thirty thousand Covenant? They're dead men.

*'''Buckman''': Can't argue that, but those Spartans just bought us some time! We might just make it outta this alive! Get ready to move, over!

*'''Chapman''': <unintelligible, fading in> Let's get the hell outta here.

===Boardwalk===

The radio is located in the north-west corner of the map, bottom level (in the 'Courtyard' area), on a bench next to an overlook.

*'''Chapman''': Unknown station, this is Gamma-One-Actual. Do you read, over?

 

*'''[[Iron Fist]]''': Gamma-One-Actual, this is Iron Fist. We read you. What is the current status of [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|Facility Alpha-331]]?

 

*'''Chapman''': Facility Alpha 331 is overrun and offline, defense grid at uniform delta  is running at starvation levels. If you're taking survivors, we've got a few.

 

*'''Iron Fist''': Negative, Gamma, we are en route to support [[Team Beta|Beta-Red]]. Any word on their status?

 

 

*'''Iron Fist''': Acknowledged. There is a temp evac station 50 klicks west along your current vector at Uniform-Delta-zero-zero-eight-niner-six-three-niner-eight-seven. I'll let them know you're coming.

 

*'''Chapman''': Might want to tell them to pull up stakes. Beta-Red may be tough as hell, but I have no idea how long they'll be able to tie up two armor divisions.

 

*'''Iron Fist''': Say again, Gamma? Over.

 

*'''Chapman''': I said Beta Red may be tough as hell but - oh, my god!

 

*'''Iron Fist''': Gamma-One-Actual, we lost you, say again? Over.

*'''Chapman''': Iron Fist, This is Gamma-One-Actual. Three Covenant [[Covenant Cruiser|cruisers]] just dropped out of cloud directly above us, holding at approximately twenty thousand feet, traveling due east at approximately three hundred knots - three-zero-zero knots!

*'''Iron Fist''': Visual confirm, Gamma 1. They just passed within 50 meters of our bird.

*'''Iron Fist''': Go NOA and punch it, there's still a chance we can pull Beta outta there.

*'''Chapman''': (disbelief) Wait a minute, you're not thinking of heading ''into'' that mess, are you?

*'''Iron Fist''': Godspeed, and see you on the other side Gamma. Out.

===Reflection===

Radio is located at the south end of the map (area labeled 'Back Hall'), in the room with the vending machines.

*'''{{UNSCShip|Majestic}}''': Alpha 20, This is UNSC ''Majestic'', two mikes out from window. Once we're on station you'll have us for all of three-zero seconds, over.

 

*'''Alpha 20''': Acknowledged, Majestic. Stand by, we are waiting for the go/no go on the shoot. Uploading telemetry on target.

 

 

*'''Alpha 20''': CENTCOM, OWA is one mike three-zero seconds out from window, DD with five-zero one-hundred-sixty charlie mike, once on station we'll have three-zero seconds of trigger time, over.

*'''[[Central Command|CENTCOM]]''': Alpha 20, this is CENTCOM. Beta Red is directly in the splash zone. Until we have visual confirmation of their status we are no go, over.

*'''Alpha 20''': CENTCOM, those cruisers are burning birds out to five-zero klicks; hell, they've hit civvy evac birds all the way out to CIS. Beta Red have gone above and beyond but there's no way out for them, they just bought us our window, now give me the go and I'll finish the job.

*'''CENTCOM''': God help us. Go hot. Out.

*'''UNSC ''Majestic''''': <fade in> (???) This is Majestic. Copy, Alpha, requesting go for shoot.

*'''Alpha 20''': Affirmative, we are go on the shoot.

*'''UNSC ''Majestic''''': Acknowledge, shoot is a go, out.

*'''UNSC ''Majestic''''': Six rounds, target number KT 2005.

*'''Alpha 20''': Copy, ''Majestic'', target number KT 2005.

*'''UNSC ''Majestic''''': Shot, over.

*'''Alpha 20''': Shot, out.

*'''UNSC ''Majestic''''': Splash, over.

*'''Alpha 20''': Splash, out.

*'''UNSC ''Majestic''''': Rounds complete, over.

*'''Alpha 20''': Rounds complete, out.

*'''Alpha 20''': <fade in> Alpha 20 to Majestic, all three target vehicles neutralized. I don't even want to guess what happened below.

*'''UNSC ''Majestic''''': I copy, Alpha. End of mission, all three target vehicles neutralized. It's been fun, hope we get a chance to do it again. Out.

*'''Alpha 20''': God willing. Out.

(loops)

===Boneyard===

Radio is located in the north-east corner of the map (area labeled 'Junkyard'), inside the temporary prefab building next to a rock wall.

*'''Chapman''': Gamma 5, holy crap, [[Buckman]], d'you see that?

 

*'''Buckman''': See it? Felt that in my damn chest. Whoever pulled that trigger wanted those sons-of-bitches dead.

 

*'''Chapman''': Can't believe we just walked outta that crater. We gotta be the two luckiest bastards on this whole planet.

 

*'''Buckman''': Luck ain't got nothing to do with it, [[Jake Chapman|Jake]].

 

 

 

 

*'''Buckman''': Here we are, hightailing it to anywhere else. Doesn't seem right.

*'''Chapman''': Well, pretty soon won't ''be'' any place else to run to. What's next, [[Earth]]?

*'''Buckman''': Jake, anyone tell you you talk too damn much?

*'''Chapman''': All the time. What the hell else was there to do on Reach besides chase pioneer girls?

*'''Buckman''': Now there's nothing. Now there's nothing at all. Five out.

[loops]

A radio conversation is supposedly found on this map. It is said to be found under the downed UNSC [[Longsword]] on the beach. <ref>http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=53577081</ref>

'''[1]''': I swear, you're pathological about entering places through the HVAC system.

'''[2]''': Ha ha ha.

'''[1]''': There's still three friendlies registering with the security system.

'''[2]''': Yeah. They got names?

'''[1]''': Kinda. Chump One, Chump Two, and [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, Ph.D]].

'''[2]''': You got lifesigns, or?

'''[1]''': I got a bunch of noise, is what I got.

'''[2]''' Yeah?

'''[1]''': What I don't have is her exiting through a secure checkpoint.

'''[2]''': So it may just be her badge, right?

'''[1]''': And if she's actually down there?

'''[2]''': She's either dead, or is refusing to leave her most recent pet project.

'''[1]''': I'm not carrying her narrow ass outta here.

'''[2]''': Neither am I. Either she's dead, and it ain't gonna matter, or she's alive and can't interfere with the op.

'''[1]''': Yeah?

'''[2]''': If she's alive, I say whoever finds her puts two in her head, then dumps the body in a rigid container of thermite 'nades and pulls the pin. See if they pull any recognizable teeth out of that mess.

'''[1]''': Harsh. We could just strap her to one of these [[Medium Fusion Destructive Device|Mike Foxtrot Delta Deltas]].

'''[2]''': Sounds like we got a plan.

===Courtyard===

Radio is located at the bottom of the ramp that leads out of Sword Base (area labeled 'Bend'), to the west side of the (blocked off) exit on a concrete ledge.

'''Blue-Delta''': "Dragon X-ray, be advised that you are the only UNSC ground asset in that grid."

'''Blue-Delta''': "That's a negative, Dragon X-ray. I say again; be advised that you are the only UNSC asset in that area."

'''Dragon X-ray''': "Roger, Blue Delta. We're picking up that movement again due east. You got something to soften it up?"

'''Blue-Delta''': "You got a location, Dragon X-ray?"

'''Dragon X-ray''': "Grid as follows: Whiskey-Delta-One-Five-Seven-Four-One-Seven-One-Two, Over."

'''Blue-Delta''': "I copy Whiskey-Delta-One-Five-Seven-Four-One-Seven-One-Two."

'''Dragon X-ray''': "That is correct. Request immediate support from any assets on-station. Over."

'''Blue-Delta''': "Dragon X-ray, it looks like all I've got available at this time is the [[UNSC Aegis Fate|UNSC ''Aegis Fate'']]."

'''Dragon X-ray''': "Blue Delta, is the ''Aegis Fate'' 'wet Navy'?"

'''Blue-Delta''': "Negative, Dragon. She's currently listed as an exo-asset; a frigate."

'''Dragon X-ray''': "Whoa! We are less than a klick from the target area, Blue Delta. We ain't that desperate for help."

'''Blue-Delta''': "Understood, Dragon X-ray. Give 'em hell out there, and good luck."

===Waterfront===

Radio is to the right of the gate at the end of the road (area labeled 'Road') that leads out of the pumping station.

When I'm done, I'm gonna loop it and split. There's no sense sticking around here yapping any longer than 'tis necessary.

I saw a "for sale" sign go up in the front yard of your dad's place, but your older -brother didn't put it there. Some out-of-towners might have.

When there's nothing left to look forward to, there's nothing but absolute destruction. These folks don't do things by half-measures.

They aim to kill us all, burn our cities and leave [[Reach]] as one more burned-out rock spinning in the darkness.

And they're gonna do it too. Nothing you and me can do to stop them. They've done it plenty of times before.

They've bloodied our noses at [[Harvest]], at [[Madrigal]], at [[Miridem]], but this time it's gonna cost them. This time they're gonna jerk back a bloody stump.

There's no two ways about this. It's gonna be a nightmare. The heavens are gonna burn, and the ground is going to tremble beneath our feet.

They're gonna rain death and destruction down on our heads, but we're not gonna give up a single damn inch of dirt without a fight.

And they're gonna get their full measure of nightmare, too. And when I see 'em, I'm gonna tell 'em - "welcome to the nightmare, you sons of bitches. Welcome to Reach."

[loops]  

===Holdout===

Radio is located on a table in the yellow building on the west side of the map (in the 'Field Office' area). (Building contains an ammo resupply crate, and has a small shed on the roof.)

'''[2]''': Come on, spit it out.

'''[1]''': You, uh, got a zombie plan?

'''[2]''': Hell yeah.

'''[1]''': Yeah? Maybe we could exchange notes.

'''[2]''': Well, uh, I dunno man. Zombie plans are kinda... deeply personal things.

'''[1]''': Well, I'm just saying, it's just, I got all these things in my mind, you know, and getting 'em out in the open really helps  reveal any flaws they might have.

'''[2]''': Makes sense.

'''[1]''': Okay.

'''[2]''': Huh. So, zombies can still hear and stuff, so that makes guns a weapon of last resort, right?

'''[1]''': Yeah, yeah, guns all fire ammo, too.

'''[2]''': Exactly. So I was thinking that, hey, what is a weapon that'll keep them out of grabbing range, AND won't run out of ammo? A  spear.

'''[1]''': Hold up.

'''[2]''': What?

'''[1]''': Now, see, this is workin' already.

'''[2]''': Huh?

'''[1]''': Spear! I thought so too at one time, but the possibility of getting it stuck in the brainpan of a walking corpse is very real.

'''[2]''': Oh yeah, you're right. Man, I hadn't thought about that. Well, uh...

'''[1]''': Ball-peen hammer.

'''[2]''': But, you'd have to get right up on top of the zombie to use it, man.

'''[1]''': Yeah, so if I'm the one running around killing zombies, man?

'''[2]''': What?

'''[1]''': A single charged blow to the head would drop most zombies. It'd work on cheetahs, too.

'''[2]''': What the... There aren't cheetahs on Reach. Anyway, we should probably be working the kinks out of our alien invasion plan first. Aliens are smarter, faster, and more technologically advanced than zombies. They're also here. Zombies, not so much.

'''[1]''': When in doubt(?), you're reaching in a place no self-respecting Marine would spend any amount of time.

'''[2]''': Hey, we ain't in the ''[[UNSC Pillar of Autumn|Autumn]]'' yet, pal.
