Transcript

{Mission Briefing}

  • Captain Cutter: "The Intelligence we captured at Decimus' base indicates the Banished are using something called, "The Cartographer." What can you tell us, Isabel?
  • Isabel: "The Cartographer is the map of everything in The Ark; that means Atriox could use it to locate key systems and weapons on this installation."
  • Anders: "Isabel and I have been going the data over Decimus' base and we found a way into the Cartographer...but it's not going to be easy. The Cartographer's defenses make it almost impenetrable; the only way up to it is by a Forerunner elevator. If you can get access to the local Forerunner towers I can take control of the elevator and take us up. It's our only chance of getting inside."
  • Captain Cutter: "We'll have to take it. We need to hit the Banished again before they find out what we discovered at their base. Get to the Cartographer and find out what Atriox is planning. But be careful, the Banished may still have traffic moving along the route."

Mission Summary

Capture Forerunner Control Towers to gain access to the Cartographer.

Scouting Report

Hornets are on standby at the Spirit of Fire, ready to counter any enemy heavy armor.

{In-game cutscene}

A hornet fly by on the beach and Two Pelican arrives on the beach while Three Cyclops already on station there. The Pelican drops the Warthogs and leaves.

  • Jerome-092: "Okay, listen up, team. You've all been chosen for this mission because you've seen plenty of action."

Another Pelican arrives and dropping Jerome. A hornet arrives oversee the units deployed on the ground and leave together with the Pelican.

  • Jerome-092: "We can't send a large force in without alerting Atriox to our presence so i need the best."

The units then assembled on Jerome position.

  • Jerome-092: "Scout out the area. The Banished may still have troops moving along the routes near the Cartographer."

{Gameplay}

Jerome lead the UNSC scout the area and found a destroyed Banished mining facility.

  • Jerome-092: "Spirit of Fire, we've found destroyed Banished mining equipment. Do we have another team down here?"
  • Captain Cutter: "Negative. It sounds like we have another party in the mix. Be careful, the enemy of our enemy is not necessarily our friend."

UNSC then moves on and found the camp has been completely destroyed and dead bodies of Banished are all over the place.

  • Jerome-092: "Isabel, have you seen anything like this before?"
  • Isabel: "It's a massacre! Anyone that could do this to the Banished isn't someone we want to run into."
  • Jerome-092: "Agreed. But whatever happened here we still have a job to do. Let's keep moving."

UNSC forces continue ahead until they reach the lightbridge still operational but Choppers start attacking them from the other side of the bridge.

  • Jerome-092: "Banished vehicles! Send in our Cyclops!"

The Cyclops moves and defeats the Choppers however the bridge has been deactivated.

  • Jerome-092: "Wait here, I'll see if i can find a way around to get that lightbridge back online."

Jerome then leaps to the upcliff and kill Banished that watches them until he reach other side of the bridge where a Wraith is guarding it and Jerome decide to hijack it.

  • Jerome-092: "Mind if i take this?"

Once hijack the Wraith, some Banished squad attack Jerome and he clear them out.

  • Jerome-092: "I'm across. Activating the lightbridge now."

Once the bridge is activated, the Warthogs and Cyclops pass the bridge and the barrier ahead of Jerome was deactivated.

  • Banished: "Take that humans down! Your bones will make a fine ornaments!"

The UNSC defeats them include destorying two of the Augmented Excavators. They continue ahead until they saw the Banished are routed by swarm of Sentinels.

  • Jerome-092: "Spirit of Fire, we've found out who's been attacking the Banished mining operations here."
  • Isabel: "Looks like the Ark will only tolerate so much abuse before launching sentinels to defend itself. This has be related to the Banished using the Cartographer..."
  • Captain Cutter: "Jerome, I've marked a location for a base drop just ahead."

The Fog of War prevents player to see it any further.

  • Captain Cutter: "Isabel, update the Professor with anything she needs to know about the Forerunner control towers."

UNSC then continue moving to where Cutter mark a location for the base drop and once they arrived, they start calling the Base.

  • Captain Cutter: "We're dropping in a base now. The Professor will brief you on your mission while you wait."
  • Anders: "The only way to access the Cartographer is by way of an elevator the Banished currently have on lockdown."

Anders then tags the place where the Forerunner Control tower is.
