Transcript

{Gameplay}

  • John-117: "Where is he?"
  • The Weapon: "Unknown. There's an unusual signal up ahead. Maybe that's him."

The Chief enters an observation room. A hologram of Escharum appears in front of him.

  • Escharum (hologram): "I thought perhaps that I had misjudged you. That you would allow your cohort to die for... the greater good. I pity you that I was correct. (rasps heavily) The House of Reckoning. Such an appropriate name. Many of your kind have entered this arena. None have left. Come. Look upon my work. Understand why we won."

The hologram deactivates.

The Chief stares through the security barrier at the arena below. There are numerous UNSC weapons, equipment, vehicles, and structures assembled together to create an artificial battlefield. With nowhere else to go, the Chief heads down and steps inside the arena.

  • Escharum (loudspeaker): "It is no accident that the Banished were able to win so decisively. Arm yourself, Master Chief. Scavenge this battlefield. No that each item you find is a remnant of their sacrifice and a testament to our strength!"

The Chief grabs the necessary weapons.

  • Escharum (loudspeaker): "Now start this fight!"

An alarm blares. Banished troops attack en masse.

  • Escharum (loudspeaker): "More!"

A second wave of Banished troops attacks.

  • Escharum (loudspeaker): "Hunt him down!"

The fighting continues as more Banished troops arrive to replace the ones the Chief kills.

  • Escharum (loudspeaker): "Do not let up! Break him!"

Brutes now join the fray.

  • Escharum (loudspeaker): "Know in your bones. You won't leave this place alive."

Finally, no more enemies appear.

  • Weapon: "I think that's it. We should keep moving."

Upon exiting the arena, the Chief is met by another hologram of Escharum.

  • Escharum (hologram): "Your Created. The false god Cortana destroyed my world. My home! But she could not kill the fire that burns in the heart of the Banished. It made us stronger! (rasping) Can you say the same?"

Hologram vanishes.

The Chief enters an elevator and rides it up to the next level.

  • Weapon: "Why is he telling you all this?"
  • John-117: "Death changes people. It forces you to look at yourself and make a choice."
  • Weapon: "And what did he choose?"
  • John-117: "Same as I would. Fight."

The elevator arrives at another observation room and the Chief steps off. Escharum appears before him via hologram once again.

  • Escharum (hologram): "Do you recall the siege of Palghanar? One settlement held out against my forces for nineteen days. They fought well. To the end. But their fate would sealed from the start."

Hologram dissolves.

Looking through the security barrier, the Chief sees another artificial battlefield constructed from the remnants of UNSC forces on the Ring. The Chief heads downstairs and enters the second arena.
