Transcript
Opens to cadets traversing through the hallways of the Corbulo Academy of Military Science. Cuts to a statue of a Spartan.
- Black (voiceover): "A show of hands..."
Cuts to General Black inside a lecture hall.
- Black: "How many of you are or know someone who is from Earth?"
Black raises his hands and looks around the room. None of the cadets raise their hand. The cadets look at each other.
- Black: "Okay, so not a lot of us."
Black lowers his hands and continues.
- Black: "The insurrectionist say that people of one planet owe nothing to the people of another planet. The insurrectionist say the Earth is in the past, and the past is dead. Well, not so long ago, all of humanity lived on a single planet. Hard to imagine isn't it? But try to think what it is must have been like to be a human back then — to know only one world. Each and every one of us here contributes to the health and well-being of a Unified Earth Government. How is that fair? 'Why should I give anything to Earth if I don't even live there?' Well, without us, without the UNSC, colonies starve, planets die. And for what? Now, the insurrectionist, they say they'd rather risk their lives of millions of colonists than do their duty to continue to ensure survival of the trillions of humans spread throughout this galaxy. But not me. No. Me, I say we are all in this together."
Cuts to black.
