Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn/Transcripts

Part I

Scene opens up to various shots of the Template:UNSCship. Cortana's voice can be heard, repeating one phrase over and over.

• Cortana: "Mayday, mayday. This is UNSC FFG-201 Forward Unto Dawn, requesting immediate evac. Survivors aboard. Prioritization code Victor 5-3-Sierra-117."

A computer screen is seen:

CREW CAPACITY: 782
CREW SURVIVING: 1

The screen flickers. Cuts to John-117 inside his cryo chamber. His visor reflects off the blue light outside the chamber. The blue light is revealed to be emitting from a holotank. The light flickers red before turning back to blue. Fades to black. Fades in to the space, where a few stars are seen. Blacks out.

FORWARD UNTO DAWN

PART I

Title fades out. Scene cuts to Commander Thomas Lasky, in front of a holographic screen, reviewing the distress signal.

• Bridge crew #1: "Lock on to frequency, tracking coordinates."

• Bridge crew #2: "Tracking now."

• Thomas Lasky: "Play it again, please."

As the signal plays again, Lasky starts to space out.

• Bridge crew #2: "We have a lock."

The bridge is thrown into disarray as the crew begin to talk at the same time and an alarm sets off.

• Bridge crew #3: "Shall I play it again, sir?"

Lasky starts to breathe deeper and louder, while the voice gets fainter.

• Bridge crew #3: "Sir? ...Commander Lasky?"

Lasky's breathing gets louder, his eyes begin to look around the room. Cuts to Lasky opening his eyes as a teen, inside a cryo chamber. He coughs

• Announcer: "Cryo pods opening."

Lasky falls out, vomiting bronchial surfactant. Next to him, Chyler Silva and Michael Sullivan are seen thawed out and vomiting surfactant as well.

• Chyler Silva: "Lasky? You okay?"

Lasky doesn't respond and continues to vomit.

• Chyler Silva: "Are you alright?"

Cuts to Lasky walking to his locker, still coughing. Cuts to Sullivan in his battle uniform looking at Lasky.

• Michael Sullivan: "Lasky, let's go!"

Cuts back to Lasky as he gears up, still coughing.

• Walter Vickers (COM): "Hastati Squad, 4 minutes to rendezvous point!"

Lasky takes out his assault rifle.

• Chyler Silva: "Copy, Vickers. T-Minus 4 minutes."

Cuts to Lasky's right hand wrist, which is bruised.

• Michael Sullivan: "Will you be able to shoot with those hands?"

Lasky tightens his gloves.

• Thomas Lasky: “We'll find out."

Chyler runs for the exit.

• Chyler Silva: "Come on!"

Sullivan follows her.

• Michael Sullivan: "Axios!"

Lasky runs out of the building. Cuts to his Heads-up display as the sunlight blinds his eyes. Lasky pants and coughs. He looks up at a small hill, where Silva and Sullivan are already climbing to the top.

• Michael Sullivan: "Lasky, come on, let's go!"

Lasky walks a few step ahead before sprinting. Cuts to a forest with explosions.

• Voice: "Under heavy fire!"

• Sullivan: "Covering!"

Sullivan fires his assault rifle. Silva fires hers for a short second before continuing.

• Silva: "Moving!"

The three cadets move on to the RV point. A slow motion of Lasky running through explosions and gunfire is shown before going back to standard motion.

• Lasky: "Sully!"

Cuts to a brief shot of Sullivan 'dead' and then to Silva running.

• Silva: "We have to leave him!"

Lasky hesitates.

• Vickers (COM): "Lasky, what the hell?!"
