One month after the destruction of Enduring Conviction and Halo launch
NORTH SPIRE, 0247 Hours
One of the drones spots some cloaking devices around North Spire but the drones suffers signal interference from it.
- Recon Controller: "O'Sullivan, our drones have found something. Take a look."
- O'Sullivan: "Some kind of cloak. I can't make out that thing. Switch to vis-feed 24, high angle."
Upon switching to vis-feed 24 with high angle, O'Sullivan spots Banished Engineers on the site.
- O'Sullivan: "Banished Engineers. Alert the captain. Whatever they're doing, we need to get down there, fast."
- COMMS Officer: "Vaughan, you and Boomerang Company are good to go."
- Major Vaughan: "Acknowledged, Spirit of Fire. And how DO we go, Helljumpers?"
- Warrant Officer Quinn: "We go feet first!"
Five pods of ODST are deployed from Spirit of Fire. A logo of 343 Industries and Creative Assembly appear.
Landing at the site, Vaughan's unit are ready to scout ahead.
- Quinn: "And THAT makes two-hundred drops!"
- Vaughan: "I'll bake a cake when we get back, Quinn. In the meantime, we need a visual on what the Banished are up to."
- Quinn: "The enemy operation site is dead ahead, but there's some kind of cloaking field in the way."
Quinn raises the binocular and the distance is around 1.8 miles to the destination ahead.
- Vaughan: "To disable that cloaking field, we're going to need more info about what's going on here. Spirit of Fire says the Banished could be using Forerunner tech to hide their operation down there. Let's go see if they're right."
At distances of 1.2 miles, there is more Banished activity.
- Vaughan: "Time for a tour, Helljumpers."

Cutscene
- COMMS OFFICER 1: "Boomerang Company, this is Spirit of Fire. The Captain has authorized India Company to reinforce your team."
- Major Vaughan: "Roger that, Spirit of Fire. Move out, Helljumpers, we're going to need those extra guns."
Gameplay
ODST start to roll out and shortly after their deployment, they spot a Controller Sentinel. Below the hills, a Banished unit engages it upon contact.
- Quinn: "Vaughan, head up. We've got a new flavor of Sentinel."
- Vaughan: "We can expect the same kind of hospitality. Let the Banished handle it for now."
Advancing ahead, two squads of Banished infantry are attempting to flee from India Company Hellbringers that are pursuing them.
- Vaughan: "We've got hostiles!"
Trapping the Banished forces and defeating them, Hellbringers rejoins Boomerang Company.
- India Hellbringers: "India Company here, sir! We spread out on the way down, didn't want to give the Banished too big a target."
- Vaughan: "Good call. Keep those flamers ready, you're with us now, Hellbringers."
Advancing ahead, they encountered a Controller Sentinel pinning down Marines on the Garrison.
- Vaughan: "Friendlies up ahead, they've pinned down by one of those new Sentinels!"
The unit try to attack it from front but it's shielded while the back are exposed.
- Vaughan: "It's unshielded in the back, hit it from behind!"
While engaging the Sentinel, two Wolverines join in and attack it from behind, destroying it.
- India Wolverines: "India Company Wolverines here, ready to lend a hand!"
- Vaughan: "Sentinel down. Saddle up, Wolverines, you're coming with us."
After regrouping, they start to advance again.
- Vaughan: "Keep an eye out for anything that could help us figure out what the Banished are up to."
Continue advancing, they find a teleporter and a Banished Silo ahead. They destroy the silo while powering up the teleporter.
- Quinn: "Got eyes on a teleporter."
- Vaughan: "Looks like the only way forward, start it up."
Reaching the device, the teleporter starts charging up.
- Quinn: "Teleporter's charging up, Vaughan."
While powering up the teleporter, a Hologram projects Jiralhanae Warlord giving speech to the Banished.
- Warlord: "...will answer to Atriox! Next, Colony has new orders for us."
On one of the sites, several Controller Sentinels are defending it.
- Warlord: "Our Engineers have activated the cloaking field over our operation site using the nearby control towers. Our orders are to hold fast and stop the Controller Sentinels from taking back the Control Towers."
One of the control towers controlled by Banished can be seen.
- Warlord: "The cloaking field must remain activated to keep our operation hidden from the humans. We have reports of possible human activity nearby. They must not breach the cloaking fields."
A Controller Sentinel is approaching to attack the Hologram.
- Warlord: "Failure will not be tolerated."
- Vaughan: "Quick, while it's distracted by the hologram. Hit it from behind!"
Destroying it, Sunray 1-1 are waiting for the teleporter to finish powered up.
- Vaughan: "That's one more Controller Sentinel taken care of."
- Quinn: "Spirit of Fire's authorized Holo-Decoy packages for us in case we run into more."
- Vaughan: "You can count on it, Quinn; we've seen how protective the Sentinels are around here. We're going to need to take those control towers to deactivate the cloaking field."
After a while, the teleporter is activated.
- Vaughan: "Teleporter's active, let's go."
When teleported down, they spot a Banished base and a Controller Sentinel engaging the Banished troops around the base.
- Quinn: "Controller up ahead."
- Vaughan: "It must be protecting a control tower nearby. Let's take it down while it's focused on the Banished."
While Controller Sentinel destroys the Banished's base, Vaughan and India Company are destroying it from behind.
- Vaughan: "Area clear. Let's capture that control tower and call in a base drop. The Banished know we're here now, so we're going to need backup."
While waiting for Condor to deliver the base, Sunray 1-1 recon the area that has two control tower near their base site.
Once the base construction has been completed
- Quinn: "We've got our base."
- Vaughan: "Let's start building an army. We're going to need it."
They start capturing one of the Control Towers and once done, one of the section start to power up in blue color.
- Quinn: "We've got activity. Scanning now. Pretty clear connection. The control towers are providing power for the cloaking field."
- Vaughan: "Once we take the rest of the control towers we'll be able to shut off the cloaking field and find out what the Banished are hiding from us."
One of the Controller Sentinels start heading towards the captured control tower.
- Quinn: "You were right, the Controllers don't like us messing with their towers."
- Vaughan: "Activate a Holo-Decoy to keep it distracted!
Deploying Holo-Decoy, the holograms distract the Controller Sentinel again while Vaughan and Wolverines destroy it from the rear.
- Quinn: "Vaughan, I'm receiving a faint friendly comms signal."
- India Wolverines: "Can anyone receive us? This is India Company, 2nd Wolverines. We're being held by the Banished. I repeat..."
- Quinn: "Sounds like India Company still has troops out there. More firepower would come in handy."
- Vaughan: "Keep an eye out for them, but we have to make the nodes our priority."
Jackrabbit goes to scout ahead and finds Skitterers ahead.
- Quinn: "Vaughan, we've got new Banished units on the field. Some kind of small mech, resembles a Locust."
