''John walks out and around the large area, meeting with several security guards and active Mantises being piloted by scientists. The station starts rocking from a large explosion.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "Doctor, what was that?" | |||
*'''Sandy Tillson (COM)''': ''(in shock)'' "The Covenant... the Covenant just shot down the first evac shuttle." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "The station should be equipped with outer turrets. If we can reactivate them, I can program the station's defenses to provide cover for the evacuation." | |||
*'''Sandy Tillson (COM)''': "OK... OK, I'll send you the coordinates." | |||
''Nearby the door leading to the objective, a scientist is watching his coworker trying to work the nearby Mantis.'' | |||
*'''Scientist #6''': "I thought you were the Mantis expert." | |||
*'''Scientist #7''': "I know how to use it to haul cargo, not shoot Covenant!" | |||
''John walks through the door and down the hallway. A security guard is sitting on the floor nearby.'' | |||
*'''Security guard #7''': "Over here, Spartan!" | |||
''John approaches the guard, who stands up and walks toward the control panel for the door, keying it open and allowing John to pass through.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "Officer, seal the door behind me." | |||
*'''Security guard #7''': "Yes sir." | |||
''John walks through the door and up a catwalk to the hallway above as the door closes behind him. Another scan line moves through the station.'' | |||
*'''Didact (telepathically)''': "You impress me, Human. Your singular valor will be preserved and studied, once your Composition is complete." | |||
''The station rocks again and the power is suddenly cut. John moves on and faces an Unggoy and a Kig-yar. He quickly eliminates them and moves on to the door, which unfortunately is locked.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "The power loss triggered an automatic lockdown. Look for a service tunnel." | |||
''John finds the service tunnel entrance not to far from the door and walks down it, taking out an additional two Kig-yar. The door at the end opens.'' | |||
*'''Tim (PA)''': "All hands! Bay 7, Level C-5 is cleared and available for evac! Again, this is not a drill! Bay 7, C-5!" | |||
''John moves through the dark hallways, facing more Covenant troops. He engages them and arrives at the end of the hallway, where three doors open, leading toward a large room with three airlocks and more Covenant soldiers. John pushes through and eliminates them all.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "I think that's the last of them." | |||
''A door opens at the end of the room.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Let's go." | |||
''John runs through the door, down a catwalk, and into another hallway, where some scientists and security guards are being cornered by Covenant soldiers.'' | |||
*'''Scientist #8''': "Spartan! In here! They've got us cut off!" | |||
''John proceeds to assist the desperate personnel.'' | |||
*'''Scientist #9''': "Help us, please!" | |||
''John kills all the Covenant soldiers.'' | |||
*'''Scientist #10''': "Hey, it's the [[United Nations Space Command|military]]! | |||
''John approaches the rescued group.'' | |||
*'''Scientist #8''': "The Covenant's just wasted one of the security teams! What chance do a bunch of archaeologists have?" | |||
*'''John-117''': "Find Doctor Tillson. She'll get you to the evacuation area." | |||
''A security guard keys open the nearby door, leading to a small side area with two auto sentries. John walks back to the main hallway and proceeds onward. He rounds a corner and walks up a walkway to a level above, taking out two Unggoy along the way. He turns into another airlock room.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "The battlenet's directing all troops to our position!" | |||
''John engages the Covenant troops inside. Meanwhile, Covenant troops are using the airlocks to enter the room from their boarding ships. John can use the buttons on the airlock door to vent it, causing the troops inside to be blasted back into the vacuum.'' | |||
''Once there are only a few more enemies left:'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Only a few more left." | |||
''She marks the remaining Covenant soldiers. John eliminates them, then walks to the upstairs area to the door on top, which opens up. John quickly runs through into the hallway. Another scan line runs through the station.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Maybe the Great and Powerful Didact shouldn't misplace his things!" | |||
''John runs up the length of the hallway to the door at the end, which opens, leading to a balcony overlooking the station. Phantoms are dropping off more Covenant soldiers. Meanwhile, cloaked Sangheili are checking the room.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "That's the main defense console." | |||
''John begins engaging the cloaked infiltrators. His HUD starts flickering again.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': ''(rampant)'' "My intervention is the prerequisite of success! ''(ominous whisper)'' Why should we save them?" | |||
''John takes out all the Sangheili.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': ''(maniacally laughing)'' "Insert me into the defense grid." | |||
''John, having no choice, puts Cortana into the console. Her figure comes up and she turns and starts typing into a hologram.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "Doctor Tillson, are you there? | |||
*'''Sandy Tillson (Video COM)''': "I'm here. Any luck?" | |||
*'''John-117''': "Cortana's bringing the defense grid online now." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "OK. That's it." | |||
*'''Sandy Tillson (Video COM)''': "I hear it! We'll broadcast the final evac orders." | |||
*'''John-117''': "The nuke?" | |||
*'''Sandy Tillson (Video COM)''': "We're rigging it now. Meet us back on the upper platform and we'll help you get it to the artifact." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Pull me, Chief!" | |||
''John grabs Cortana and runs to the other door in the room, making his way down the hallway.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Chief, if we pull this off and actually get back to Halsey? Don't tell her how bad I got. Please?" | |||
*'''John-117''': "I won't say anything." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Thank you." | |||
''John runs into a Covenant squad running down the hallway in the same direction ahead of him. He quickly takes them out before they notice him. He walks down the hallway and turns to his left through another open door, leading to the room with more Covenant. John takes them out and makes his way to the door at the end. It opens to another hallway, with another door at the end. John approaches it and waits for it to depressurize, finally letting him into a room with a view of the cavern. Several Phantoms can be seen dropping off more Covenant soldiers near the Composer.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Keep them away from it!" | |||
