+''A [[UNSC Prowler|prowler]] uncloaks and approaches a hangar on the [[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]], where [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]], [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer|Palmer]], and [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan-IVs]] [[Madsen]] and [[Paul DeMarco|Demarco]] are waiting.
+*'''Roland''': "Captain Lasky, the captain of [[UNSC Aladdin|Aladdin]] requests permission to bring the [[Catherine Halsey|prisoner]] aboard."
+*'''Palmer (turning to Captain Lasky)''': "Last chance to change your mind."
+*'''Lasky''': "It's too late for that, Sarah. We need to know what's going on."
+*'''Palmer (irritated)''': "She was locked up for a reason."
+*'''Lasky''': "Permission granted, Roland."
+''The prowler lands and four Marines escort Dr. Halsey before transferring her into the Spartans' custody.''
+*'''Lasky''': "Dr. Halsey, thank you for coming."
+''Dr. Halsey shows her restraints.''
+*'''Halsey''': "I'm not walking around this ship ''I'' built with my hands cuffed."
+''Lasky nods and Madsen removes the restraints on Dr. Halsey.''
+*'''Halsey''': "Show me [[Requiem translocation artifact|the artifact]]."
+{{Center|'''HALO: INFINITY'''}}
+''The group walks toward the artifact in a dimly lit room.''
+*'''Halsey''': "Rather dark for a proper investigation."
+*'''Lasky''': "Random fluctuations all over the ship, doctor. Power still completely out at ground zero. I'll get additional lighting set up ASAP."
+*'''Halsey''': "That would be good. Have there been any other reactions ''since''..."
+*'''Lasky''': "Since what happened to [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]]? No."
+*'''Halsey''': "I see."
+''Dr. Halsey approaches the artifact and tries to touch it.''
+*'''Lasky''': "Careful."
+*'''Halsey (turning around)''': "I'm ''not'' Henry Glassman, captain"
+*'''Lasky (turning to face Commander Palmer)''': "Trust me doctor, I know who you are."
+*'''Halsey''': "Yes, and I see you've decided I rate three of the new model."
+*'''DeMarco''': "Captain Lasky ask for the best."
+*'''Halsey''': " And yet..."
+''Dr. Halsey touches the artifact and it lights up.''
+*'''Lasky''': "What is it, doctor?"
+*'''Halsey''': "Engine room."
+''The group leaves the room. Cuts to a shot of the [[tram|high-speed tram]] car the group is on, then to a shot of Dr. Halsey, then of the others.''
+*'''DeMarco (talking to Madsen)''': "Why do they have ''us'' guard some old lady?"
+*'''Madsen''': "She's bad news man. Mad scientist...uh, she created the [[SPARTAN-II Program|original Spartans]]; [[John-117|Master Chief]]?"
+*'''DeMarco''': "Oh why."
+*'''Madsen''': "Yeah. Story goes, she kidnapped a bunch of kids."
+*'''DeMarco''': "What? What would an old lady like her do with kids?"
+''Madsen tries to answer the question before noticing Dr. Halsey looking at them.''
+*'''Halsey''': "First, we taught them how to be silent. Then we taught them how to be Spartans."
+''A shot of the engine room.''
+*'''Lasky''': "Roland?"
+*'''Roland''': "Engine room's on lockdown, captain. All systems operating nominally."
+''The group walks in and Dr. Halsey starts tinkering with the systems.''
+*'''Roland''': "You know captain, I ''can'' fly Infinity without human aid."
+*'''Lasky''': "Don't worry Roland. We'll take her off your hands again very shortly."
+*'''Palmer''': "And now we're letting a war criminal touch things."
+*'''Lasky''': "I can type for her, if that'd make you feel better."
+*'''Palmer''': "It would help."
+*'''Lasky''': "She installed these engines. ''No one'' in the [[UNSC]] understands them as well as she does."
+''Dr. Halsey continues to tinker with the systems and a pulse runs through the room. The Spartans raise their weapons on Dr. Halsey.''
+*'''Palmer''': "Hey!"
+''Dr. Halsey turns around to face Commander Palmer. Palmer walks forward then orders the Spartans to lower their weapons.''
+*'''Halsey''': "The artifact, [[Forerunner]], is talking to your engines, also Forerunner. But it is also communicating with these other systems as well.
+*'''Lasky''': "Health systems, some electrical, lower deck life support."
+*'''Palmer''': "Only the engines are Forerunner tech. The rest is human."
+''The computer screen indicates where the signal is transmitting to and places a marker.''
+*'''Halsey''': "Indeed, but the artifact is reaching out to them and ''it'' and your engines are transmitting."
+*'''Lasky''': "To [[Requiem]]."
+*'''Halsey''': "You came here to study the planet. Instead, ''something'' on the planet is studying you."
+''A closeup shot of the marker, which fades to a structure inside a Forerunner building. Multiple [[Sangheili]] are walking around, carrying weapons and equipment while [[Gek]] is giving orders.
+Note: All dialogue spoken by the Elites are in Sangheili and translated into English.
+*'''Gek''': "Faster! Move as if [[The Didact|the Didact]] himself were watching!"
+''Gek turns around to see Jul 'Mdama and immediately kneels before him.''
+*'''Gek''': "Jul 'Mdama! I did not expect [[Jul 'Mdama|the Didact's Hand]] so soon."
+*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "Infinity's arrival has advanced my schedule. Rise, Gek."
+*'''Gek''': "We are still preparing, [[Shipmaster]]- we still have yet to be able to activate the shrine."
+''A shot of Jul 'Mdama and Gek in front of the structure.''
+*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "You are prepared now brother."
+''They turn around.''
+*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "Bring the artifact's gift."
+''Two Sangheili bring a human prisoner, who is revealed to be Dr. Glassman, before Jul 'Mdama and Gek.''
+*'''Glassman''': "Ugh."
+*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "He offers his knowledge in exchange for his life."
+*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "I am willing to accept his offer...for a time."
+''Cuts to a shot of Dr. Glassman looking around, worried. Cuts to black.''
