UNSC Audio Logs

Recovered Files

01: The Plan

Description:

// CATHERINE ELIZABETH HALSEY
// CC-409871
// OCT 6, 2559
If this is going to work, we have to move immediately. We're nearing a threshold. A tipping point. Ultimately, this all comes down to John. It always has.

---

[Sound: Typing]

• Halsey: How many now?
• Lab Assistant: 16 systems shut down so far. Seemingly random locations. I'm attempting to lock her and the others out of the main-
• Halsey: You will not be able to stop her. She knows more about how this all works than... well, anyone.

[Sound: Footsteps]

• John-117: Doctor Halsey.
• Halsey: John.
• John-117: What's the plan?
• Halsey: The plan? Right now, we are in survival mode. Again. Cortana's message has spread across the galaxy. Most sentient AI are siding with her.
• John-117: Against us.
• Halsey: Yes... but, maybe not you. Tell me, John, what was the last thing she said to you?
• John-117: She said... goodbye.

02: The Question

Description:

// CATHERINE ELIZABETH HALSEY
// CC-409871
// OCT 7, 2559
Blue Team must return to Reach. Siblings returning home. I have many regrets, but those four, with all they have accomplished, both together and as individuals, will never be one of them.

---

• Halsey: "Goodbye". That word has stayed with me. It has been nearly four months since Cortana's attack. Since that day we have been constantly moving. Trying to stay one step ahead of her. Any plan we make is to risky to say the least. This one... "Goodbye". She needs to be destroyed. As I say these words out loud... as I formulate the plan... I have one question. Can John do this? Can I... Can we all rely on him to do what is needed? To Kill his friend?

[Sound: Horn, followed by footsteps]

• Marine: We are coming up on Reach, Doctor Halsey.
• Halsey: And Blue Team?
• Marine: Ready. You coming to say goodbye?
• Halsey: No. Tell Master Chief to report to me when he has completed his mission.

03: The Mission

Description:

// CATHERINE ELIZABETH HALSEY
// CC-409871
// OCT 12, 2559
The mission is complete, thanks in part to the efforts of Captain Lasky and Commander Palmer. And now we see if these efforts are worth the cost. Preparations are already underway for the weapon's creation.

---

• Halsey: You took your time.
• John-117: There was... resistance.

[Sound: Footsteps]

• Halsey: I heard. Let me look at you, John. The Spartans are my greatest achievements. Do you understand that?
• John-117: Are you okay, Doctor Halsey?
• Halsey: That would depend entirely on who you were to ask. Was the mission successful?
• John-117: Yes.
• Halsey: Good. This is not going to be easy, John. But it is the only option we have.

04: The Weapon

Description:

// CATHERINE ELIZABETH HALSEY
// CC-409871
// DEC 11, 2559
I realize how difficult this could be for John. But he has strength in him that very few posses. The strength to carry out his mission, no matter the opposition. And even the strength to forgive.

---

• John-117: She looks just like her.
• Halsey: If you say so. I see something else. Something more innocent... from a simpler time.
• John-117: Does she know me?
• Halsey: No. She is a blank slate. No memories, no history. Her core is nearly complete. Once it is ready, it will be up to the two of you. The weapon will lock her down. You will retrieve Cortana and bring her back here.
• John-117: For execution.
• Halsey: For deletion. We are at war, Master Chief. If you do not think you can do this... Now is the time to step down. I am sure Spartan Locke is available.
• John-117: That won't be necessary.
• Halsey: Good. Tomorrow will test us all.
