''Cut to the Master Chief, under cover in one of the last Liches.'' | ''Cut to the Master Chief, under cover in one of the last Liches. The shields protecting the ship from Slipspace fade away.'' | ||
*'''[[Master Chief]]''': "Cortana?" | |||
*'''[[Cortana]]''': "Still here." | |||
''More Phantoms and Liches cross in the background as the Master Chief gets us from his cover and looks up. He sees a Halo installation.'' | |||
*'''Master Chief''': "A Halo?" | |||
*'''Cortana''': "[[Installation 03]]. It's where ''[[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]]'' found the coordinates for [[Requiem]]." | |||
''Cut to a front view of the Master Chief, looking up at the Halo.'' | |||
*'''Master Chief''': "They why are they bypassing it?" | |||
''Cut to a rear view of the Master Chief. The asteroid belt is visible, along with a human station built into one of the asteroids.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Because the [[Composer]]'s not ON the ring." | |||
''Numerous Phantoms and Liches approach the station. Cut to a front view of the Master Chief again.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "What are you waiting for? That station's not going to save itself." | |||
''Fade to black. A moment later, a gunshot can be heard. Cut to the inside of the Lich. A [[Sangheili]]'s shields flare as he collapses on the floor, the entry wound in the head still smoking. The Master Chief steps over the body, carrying a Covenant carbine, as he walks toward the control panel.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': ''(voice distorted)'' "Put me into the console." | |||
''The Master Chief steps up to the panel and inserts Cortana into the console. A hologram of the station comes up.'' | |||
*'''Master Chief''': "This is [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] Master Chief to base. Do you read?" | |||
*'''[[Sarah Tillson]]''': "Yes! I hear you! This is Sandy Tillson of [[Ivanoff Station]]! We're under attack! | |||
*'''Master Chief''': "They're after a Forerunner artifact you took from the Halo ring." | |||
''Cut to an outside view. A Lich approaches the station.'' | |||
*'''Sarah Tillson''': "How do you know about that?" | |||
*'''Master Chief''': "Doctor. I need you to protect that artifact until we arrive. Send whatever-" | |||
''The hologram of the station flickers and disappears completely, replaced by the figure of Cortana, who's undergoing another rampancy fit.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': ''(voice distorted and high-pitched)'' "Do you know what that condescending bitch said to me after our first game of chess?" | |||
*'''Master Chief''': "Cortana..." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Even I don't call him by name anymore." | |||
''A red signal flashes on the screen as the Lich flies toward the station on a collision course.'' | |||
*'''Master Chief''': "Correct your approach." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Yes, well he also said he works better alone." | |||
''The Lich flies dangerously close to the station with no deceleration. The red signal continues to flash.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "I can see why you chose him, [[Catherine Halsey|Catherine]]." | |||
*'''Master Chief''': "Cortana!" | |||
*'''Cortana''': "I'm your greatest achievement and you detest me!" | |||
*'''Master Chief''': "Pull up! NOW!" | |||
''The Lich crashes just below the open landing bay. Fade to black.'' | |||
