Awakening
From Halopedia, the Halo wiki
The Halo 4 announcement trailer is a pre-rendered teaser trailer for Halo 4. It was first shown at Microsoft's E3 Media Briefing on June 6th, 2011. It depicts Cortana hastily awakening John-117 from cryo-sleep on the aft half of the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn, followed by John securing Cortana's storage chip and rushing through the wreckage to witness the ship being pulled into a mysterious object.
Transcript
Fades in to many points of reddish light, apparently stars, against a black background. In the foreground, one of these sends small curling sparks throughout columns of smoky material; the lights resolve themselves as neurons in a human body, sending slow pulses to one another.
- Cortana: (muffled) "I need you!"
The neural pulses reach the heart.
- Cortana: (muffled) "Please!"
The heart begins beating, and the neural pulses race up the spine to the brain.
- Cortana: (muffled) "Wake up, John!"
The brain awakens, and the camera rapidly zooms out to show John-117 inside of his cryotube. His helmet's flashlights activate, and he slightly moves his head back and forth."
- Cortana: "Chief!"
John, now wide awake, forcibly throws open the cryotube and rushes to Cortana's holotank.
- Cortana: "John..."
- John-117: "I'm here."
John and Cortana turn to see the Template:UNSCship exploding and collapsing. John stows Cortana's chip in his helmet, and pushes off the holotank to speed down the hallway. Taking advantage of the microgravity, he uses a pair of thrusters on his armor to maneuver through the girders and debris in the imploding hallway. He grabs a floating pistol and blasts a piece of debris out of the way, and stops his movement by grabbing a protruding girder. Now standing on the edge of the Forward Unto Dawn, John reloads his pistol and stares out into space. The camera turns to show an enormous iris-like opening in what appears to be a Forerunner machine or spacecraft.
Blackout as the Halo Theme plays.
