Halo (Halo 3 level): Difference between revisions

In this level, [[John-117]], [[Thel 'Vadam]] and [[Sergeant]] [[Avery Junior Johnson|Johnson]] make their way towards the [[Control Room]] in order to activate the ring using the [[Activation Index|Index]] from the first [[Installation 04|Halo]] encountered. However, the [[Gravemind]] sends [[Flood]] [[Flood combat form|combat forms]] (and later [[Flood pure form|pure forms]]), carried by [[Flood dispersal pod|Flood dispersal pods]], to try to stop them. After holding outside the Control Room for a while, [[343 Guilty Spark]] opens the door and they reach the Control Room. When Spark realizes that they are going to activate the unfinished Halo, which will destroy the Ark and the new installation, he fatally injures Johnson, who was activating the ring. The monitor then locks the Arbiter out of the Control Room and corners John-117. Just as Spark is about to kill the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]], Johnson, barely alive, fires his Spartan Laser and damages the monitor. He then hands the weapon to John-117 and faints. The Chief, after firing 3 shots at the monitor, finally kills the [[rampancy|rampant]] AI unit. He then says farewell to Johnson who dies from his injuries, and activates the ring with Cortana. Outside the Control Room, the Chief and the Arbiter battle their way to Johnson's Warthog, and race their way to the {{UNSCShip|Forward Unto Dawn}}. After entering the frigate, the Arbiter heads to the bridge while the Chief uploads Cortana to a [[holotank]] and she proceeds to fire up the frigate's engines. The Chief, stuck in the cargo bay as they enter the portal, relaxes as Halo fires, cutting the ship in half.

In March 2553, Lord Hood delivers a speech commemorating the fallen combatants of the battle, and reveals that the Chief, with Cortana in his helmet, did not return to Earth with the front half of the ''Dawn''. He then shakes hands with the Arbiter, the only Sangheili present at the memorial. 'Vadam then leaves for Sanghelios with Rtas 'Vadum, on board the ''Shadow of Intent''. Post-credits scene shows the Chief in the second half of the ''Dawn'', uploading Cortana to another holotank while he goes into cryosleep to await rescue. On Legendary difficulty, the second half of the ''Dawn'' is shown drifting towards an [[Requiem|unknown planet]].
