''A man walks down a long corridor. A speech is made while he walks down it. The camera angle cuts to the mans midsection, whereby the insigia on his arm denotes the rank of Admiral.'' | |||
*'''Admiral''' (echo): "In war... the first thing lost is time." | |||
''Scene cuts to a large room with the UNSC insignia decorating the wall. A crowd of servicemen and women are seen standing at attention. The scene cuts back to the Admiral walking down the corridor.'' | |||
*'''Admiral''' (echo): "The hours become days... the days, years... and the years into decades." | |||
''The Admiral straightens his uniform and puts on his cap. The scene then cuts to the hall, where the Admiral begins his speech.'' | |||
*'''Admiral''': "Some of us can't remember a time before the Covenant. War is all we know." | |||
''The servicemen and women salute the Admiral, who returns the salute to them'' | |||
*'''Admiral''': "And in our ongoing conflict we've lost more than our sense of time. We've lost loved ones; planets... and entire civilizations. To think there was once a time of peace is almost unimaginable. But we were courageous; we fought back. In our battle for humanity we have lost so much, but we've been given heroes... heroes who fought tirelessly to defend us: at Harvest; at Reach, at New Mombassa...[and] brave soldiers who sacrificed everything to eliminate the [[Flood]]. They didn't fight for glory. Nonetheless, it's there for all to see. | |||
''Camera centres on a view screen behind the Admiral, who also looks to it. The data on the viewscreen details planets lost to the Covenant; ships that lost their entire crews and the brave few who earled the right to be a hero.'' | |||
*'''Admiral''': "Today we launch the '''living monument'''. To those who continue to fight and asked for nothing in return: War takes, but it leaves us with legends, it leaves us with heroes, and heroes never die!" | |||
