*'''Weapon''': "It looks like the laser is controlled up in that central structure." | *'''Weapon''': "It looks like the laser is controlled up in that central structure." | ||
*'''Pilot (COM)''': "Chief! The scanner just lit up! It was a trap. I ''knew'' it was a trap. What do I do?" | |||
*'''John 117''': "Hold position. I've got this." | |||
''The Chief deals with the Banished attackers. He then enters the central structure through a Gravity Lift and clears out the Banished crew inside.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Looks like the laser controls are by that window." | |||
''The Chief locates the control terminal and deploys the Weapon.'' | |||
'''{''Cutscene''}''' | |||
''The Weapon stares out the window at the laser beams blocking the tunnel.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Just give me a sec..." | |||
''The terminal beeps but nothing else happens.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Something's wrong. I can't shut it down." | |||
*'''John-117''': "Then we destroy it." | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Way ahead of you. There are two power regulators down there. All we need to do is manually expose each regulator's cooling pylon to trigger a cascade effect. And by we, I mean you. And by trigger, I mean shot. Or blow up. You get the idea." | |||
''John uploads the Weapon back into his armor.'' | |||
'''{''Gameplay''}''' | |||
''The Chief heads back down and starts searching for his new targets. Phantoms and drop pods arrive bringing more enemy reinforcements that he has to deal with.'' | |||
''The Chief exposes the cooling pylons for one regulator.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "And there are the pylons. Take 'em out." | |||
''The Chief destroys both cooling pylons. The regulator explodes.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "That should do it." | |||
*'''John-117''': "One down, one to go." | |||
*'''Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker)''': "Failure detected in cooling system. Deploy forces to protect the dig site. The Conservatory entrance must be protected!" | |||
''The Chief exposes and destroys the cooling pylons for the other regulator, causing it to blow up.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "And that's two." | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Now let's head back up and deal with the laser." | |||
*'''Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker)''': "The cooling system has failed! The dig site is compromised! Do not allow them access to the Conservatory! [[Bassus]], you have your orders!" | |||
''The Chief goes back inside central structure and heads to the controls once again.'' | |||
'''{''Cutscene''}''' | |||
''Master Chief's POV: The Chief starts to deploy the Weapon when something grabs him by the neck and lifts him off his feet. John finds himself staring face-to-face with an aged but fearsome-looking Brute Chieftain. The Brute chuckles menacingly and roars in his face, before flinging the Chief across the room. The Chief lands on his back. He sees the Chieftain approaching, gravity hammer in hand.'' | |||
*'''[[Bassus]]''': "Spartans not so tough, I think. Break open easy." | |||
''The Chief uses his Grappleshot to pull a container towards him.'' | |||
*'''Bassus''': "Soft inside!" | |||
''Bassus raises his hammer.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': ''(urgent)'' "Chief?" | |||
*'''John-117''': "I see him." | |||
''The Chief uses his Grappleshot to swing the container around and strike Bassus in the side of the head, knocking the Brute off balance, and causing him to miss. The shockwave from the hammer pushes John away from Bassus. The Chief gets back on his feet and faces Bassus.'' | |||
'''Bassus''': ''(bellowing)'' "SPARTAAAAAAAAAN!" | |||
'''{''Gameplay''}''' | |||
''Even by a Brute's standards, Bassus is incredibly strong and durable. It takes a lot of ammunition, but the Chief finally brings the Chieftain down.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Didn't think we were gonna make it back there. Let's deal with the laser." | |||
''The Chief returns to the control terminal and deploys the Weapon.'' | |||
'''{''Cutscene''}''' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "You've done your part. Now for mine." | |||
''She cracks her knuckles.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Watch this." | |||
''She raises a hand and accesses the terminal's data. Nothing seems to happen.'' | |||
*'''John-117''': "Is there a problem?" | |||
*'''Weapon''': ''(grins)'' "Of course not." | |||
''She snaps her fingers and the mining laser explodes.'' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Let's see what's down there." | |||
''The Chief retrieves the Weapon.'' | |||
'''{''Gameplay''}''' | |||
*'''Weapon''': "That laser was modified very recently to cut into the Ring." | |||
*'''John-117''': "Modified? By who?" | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Definitely not by Bassus back there. The formula is very sophisticated. Whoever made the change, they didn't just modify the Forerunner architecture. They ''improved'' it. Oh, and there are ''a lot'' of Banished in the Conservatory. They've been down there for days. We are walking into another trap." | |||
*'''John-117''': "And you left that 'til last?" | |||
*'''Weapon''': ''(teasingly)'' "Are you scared?" | |||
*'''John-117''': "No. You?" | |||
*'''Weapon''': "Of course not. I've got you to keep me alive. Oh, and sixty-three millimeters of titanium alloy wrapped around our neural interface. I'll be fine." | |||
*'''John-117''': "Good to know." | |||
''The Master Chief leaves the facility and enters the tunnel.'' | |||
''Level ends'' | |||
