Silent Auditorium is the sixteenth and final campaign level in Halo Infinite.

Overview

“

Chief and the Weapon reach the Silent Auditorium, once the seat of Cortana's power, now claimed and controlled by the Harbinger. Their enemy reveals Auditorium was where the Forerunners passed judgment upon her species, the Endless, and sentenced them to indefinite imprisonment inside Zeta Halo. The Harbinger sought to utilize her uneasy alliance with the Banished to free her people — a plan that nearly succeeded before it was disrupted by the Master Chief. Finally defeated, the Harbinger says her people have been found, and that the Endless will, at long last, be unleashed. The Reformation is averted. The Auditorium begins to collapse. Chief and the Weapon escape through a portal to an unknown destination.

Transcript

{Cutscene}

Scene opens up to the Master Chief standing inside Echo-216's troop bay.

• Pilot (COM): "Are you ready? It's about to get rough. They're waiting for us. I think they're all waiting for us."

The Pelican trembles ominously.

• Pilot (COM): "Did you feel that? (half-jokingly) It's not too late to turn around."

• Weapon: "Chief?"

The Weapon's avatar materializes in his hand.

• Weapon: "Something feels..."

A small blue cloud of data suddenly appears and starts flying around them.

• Cortana (memory): "There's not much time. Too many variables. I need a constant."

Another ball of data appears and flies in a circle directly in front of the Chief before fading away.

• Cortana (memory): "I have seen your future."

The Weapon raises her hands in realization.

• Weapon: "The Silent Auditorium? Oh no."

• John-117: "What is it? What's wrong?"

• Weapon: "I should have realized. That's not what it was called. I've been here before. This is where I locked her down."

She turns towards the closed troop bay door.

• Weapon: "This is where Cortana died."

The blue cloud of data flies by and more ghostly voices are heard.

• John-117 (memory): "What do I call her?"

• Catherine Halsey (memory): "Ask her. She named herself."

• Cortana (memory): "Hello, Master Chief. I'm Cortana."

The Chief and the Weapon watch the data cloud continue flying around the troop bay.

• Pilot (COM): "We're here! Go!"

The troop bay's interior lights turn red and an alarm sounds.

• Pilot (COM): "Did you hear me? We're here! You need to go! Now!"

The Weapon's avatar vanishes and the Chief turns to face the bay doors as they open up. He leaps out of the Pelican and onto a platform, where Banished troops are already waiting for him.

{Gameplay}

• Pilot (COM): "You're sure you're okay down there? Want me to wait?"

• John-117: "Negative. Pull back."

• Weapon: "We'll be in touch."

• Pilot (COM): "You got it. I'll be waiting for the call. Try not to die. You hear me?"

The Chief engages the Banished troops, who are being led by a Sangheili Warlord, along with an Ultra, and are backed up by a pair of Shades .

• Jiralhanae: "Escharum is slain! Vengeance will be ours!"

The Chief defeats the enemies on the platform. He then accesses a terminal and opens a door leading inside the structure. The Chief enters the Silent Auditorium and soon encounters another group of Banished. After these enemies have been eliminated, he finds another locked door with an empty Crucible nearby.

• Weapon: "Hmm. This door requires a power seed. There must be one nearby. Look around."

After a quick search, the Chief finds and retrieves a power seed, which he inserts into the Crucible. The door opens and he steps through it. Upon entering the next room, he's met by the ghoslty echo of Cortana, who walks towards him.

• Cortana (memory): "I have seen your future. And I have learned... There will be no more sadness. No more anger. No more envy."

The echo vanishes. The Chief heads down a ramp which leads to an observation room.

• Whispers: "Please come find me."

If the Chief looks through the window at the end of the room, he can see a Mgalekgolo pair patrolling the chamber below.

The Chief heads downstairs and enters another observation room. Row upon row of Cylixes are visible behind the glass windows here. The image of Cortana once again materializes before the Chief upon his entry.

• Cortana (memory): "I've been waiting for you to show up."

She puts her hands on her hips defiantly.

• Cortana (memory): "What's the plan? Take me back to the Infinity for deletion? Halsey's gonna love that."

She turns around to find Atriox standing behind her.

• Atriox (memory): "The UNSC is gone!"

• Cortana (memory): (stunned) "Atriox? How did you...?"

• Atriox (memory): "It's time to discuss the terms of your surrender."

The memory dissolves.
