{{ | ''John looks up as a hologram of Requiem appears over the Cartographer.'' | ||
*'''Cortana''': "It's a localized cartographer. Hmm… Okay… In service of Forerunner Shield World designate 'Requiem'." | |||
*'''John-117''': "Requiem. At least we know where we are now." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Let's see if it could tell us what the Covenant are so interested in.'' | |||
''The hologram flickers to a red icon momentarily and disappears.'' | |||

''John approaches the cartographer yet again and accesses it.'' | |||
'''{''Cutscene''}''' | |||
''Cortana's avatar appears over the console. A holographic control panel appears in front of her. She presses it, but it responds with an error sound and flickering red. The hologram of Requiem flickers red as well. Cortana tries again and succeeds. Numerous red circles appear on the surface of Requiem's hologram.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "The cartographer keeps acting like a transmission is coming from everywhere on the planet at once. It doesn't want to triangulate ''Infinity''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> signal." | |||
''Requiem's hologram flickers red again, and all of the red circles disappear. Instead, a red sphere appears in the center of the hologram." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Oh wait… I got it." | |||
*'''John-117''': "That can't be right. Scan again." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "We've already past through one layer of the planet surface, it's not crazy to think that someone else is deeper inside than we did. | |||
*'''John-117''': "You mean the planet is hollow?" | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Let me see if I can figure out a way to reach these coordinates that doesn't involve us digging a really big hole." | |||
''A map appears.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "There's a terminus at the far side of the complex. We can portal to the planet's core from there." | |||
''Cortana looks at John, and looks back the cartographer." | |||
*'''John-117''': "What?" | |||
*'''Cortana''': "I don't know…" | |||
*'''John-117''': "If we have a shot getting you back to ''Infinity'', we're taking it." | |||
''Cortana looks back at him and nods anxiously." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Okay…" | |||
''John retrieve Cortana's data chip, turns away from the Cartographer, and walks away. As he walks away, the cartographer emits the error sound again while the hologram of Requiem flickers to a red icon. Fades to black.'' | |||

''John steps on to the elevator, which soon ascends into the long shaft.'' | |||
'''{''Cutscene''}''' | |||
''The elevator reaches the top, and Johns leaves the platform to walks across a long bridge. John looks around him. There are countless pillars in the room. John reaches the end of bridge, and inserts Cortana's data chip in to the terminus console. The terminus activates, and the Forerunner structures around them adjust themselves. | |||
*'''Cortana''': "According to the cathedral, this terminus is just ''one'' node of a larger transit grid that spans the entire planet..." | |||
''Cortana pauses.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "What?" | |||
*'''Cortana''': "When I tried to access the outlet closest to ''Infinty''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> transmissions, the system responded with this." | |||
''A holographic display of the Forerunner symbol for [[Reclaimer]] appears in front of Cortana's avatar. | |||
*'''John-117''': "What is it?" | |||
*'''Cortana''': "That's the kicker. It's the Forerunner symbol for 'Reclaimer'." | |||
*'''John-117''': "[[Human]]ity… That's got to be ''Infinity''. Could you get us to those coordinates?" | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Let me try open a portal." | |||
''Cortana accesses the holographic control panel in front of her, and a large sound of activation is heard. John turns around to see the pillars in the room raising to different heights.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "Cortana." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "I'm picking up an unknown energy signatures." | |||
*'''John-117''': "Where?" | |||
*'''Cortana''': "This can't be right." | |||
''[[Promethean Knight]]s, lit in blue, teleports on to the top of the pillars in the room. They each emit a growling sound. Johns raises his assault rifle in alarm.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "Set a waypoint out of the tower." | |||
''Cortana remains silent as she continues to access the control panel.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "Cortana?" | |||
''A portal appears beside John. Cortana turns around in confusion." | |||
*'''Cortana''': "How did…? Quick! Into the portal!" | |||
''John takes Cortana's data crystal chip as a Promethean Knight on one of the pillars closer to him screams. John raises his assault rifle at the Promethean Knight, which teleports away. John stares in awe.'' | |||
*'''Cortana''': "Chief, go!" | |||
''Chief runs and jumps into the portal. Cut to black.'' | |||
''Level ends.'' | |||
