Transcript
{From first-person view: Noble six stares into the visor of his helmet, before pulling it on}
{Zoom out to the Warthog Noble six is riding in, on the surface of Reach, towards an outpost/camp, and two Falcon Tiltrotor sing in above the Warthog}
{Both aircraft land in the camp/outpost, and the Warthog pulls to a stop. Noble six gets out of the Warthog, and moves towards a building. Jun-266 watches him while placing rounds into a magazine. Noble six reaches the door, and stares at Emile-239 sharpening a combat knife against his shoulder pauldron, and attempts to enter, before Kat-320 stops him.
Kat-320: Commander.
{ Carter-259, without his helmet, looks up, and Jorge-052, in full gear, turns to look at Noble six, who takes several steps inside the building}
Radio: Winter Contingency has been declared, all units are mobilized and ready.
Jorge-052: Didn't think anybody survived Pegasi, Sir.
Carter-259: SPARTANs never die, Jorge, they're just Missing in Action.
{Carter-259 starts walking towards the door and puts his helmet on, and all the SPARTANs turn to exit the building}
{Cut to the SPARTANs exiting the building, with Noble six next to Carter-259, with Kat-320, Emile-239 (who sheathes his knife) and Jorge-052 walking side by side in front of them, towards the aircraft}
Carter-259: I read your file, Lieutenant, even the parts ONI didn't want me to.
{The SPARTANs reach the aircraft, with the other three moving to one off screen, and the unidentified SPARTAN and the SPARTAN Commander getting into the one guarded by Jun.}
Carter-259: I'm glad to have your skill set, but you can leave that lone-wolf stuff behind.
Jun-266: This our new number six?
Carter-259: Affirmative.
Jun-266: You picked a hell of a day to join up!
{Carter signals for the aircraft to get airborne and the aircraft take off, moving into the horizon}
Kat-320: This is Sierra three-two-zero. Noble team is airborne and prepped for combat insertion.
{As the aircraft move into the distance, a colossal Plasma explosion erupts from the sky, and a CCS-class Battlecruiser looms in the clouds overhead. A static charge flies across the sky, and the scene whites out, showing the Halo: Reach logo. Cut to a dark room, with human blood on the floor, illuminated by an Energy Sword activating. There is a growl, then the camera turns towards an Elite, which snarls at the screen. Bungie and Microsoft logos appear with Reach in the background.}
Trivia
- From this video first look of the game, it seems the playable character, Noble Six, may be a mute in the game as he doesn't mention a single word in the trailer.
