The Pelicans land. Several troops come out of it and secure the area. One examines a pile of ash on the ground with his instruments.
- Didact (voiceover): Our strength is a luminous sun towards which all intelligence blossoms. And the impervious shelter beneath which it has prospered."

- Didact (voiceover): "Humanity stands as the greatest threat in the galaxy."
Cut to SPARTAN-IVs being armored by machines.
- Didact (voiceover): "Refusing to eradicate them is a fool's gambit."
Sarah Palmer and another S-IV, who is running on a treadmill, turn to see John. The running Spartan almost trips in the process.
- Didact (voiceover): "We squander eons in the darkness, while they seize our triumphs for their own."
Palmer walks forward, trying to get a better view of John. Cut to John, walking right past her. His size dwarfs hers.
