''Fade in to [[Catherine Halsey]], sitting in her cell aboard ''Infinity''. [[Roland]] appears before her. | |||
*'''Roland''': "Can I ask you a question, doc? What were you hoping to achieve with your little subterfuge? I mean, Captain Lasky put a lot of faith in you." | |||
*'''Halsey''': "Yes, his hospitality speaks wonders." | |||
*'''Roland''': "C'mon on, doc. What has keeping secrets ever really gained you?" | |||
*'''Halsey''': "What is hidden can be useful." | |||
*'''Roland''': "Such as?" | |||
*'''Halsey''': "Such as the phrase ''<nowiki>'undid-iridium'</nowiki>''." | |||
*'''Roland''': "Un-un-did-did-un-did-did-undid-un-did-" | |||
''Roland's hologram rapidly flickers, then settles. The AI looks up at Halsey with an expression of blank obedience.'' | |||
*'''Roland''': "UNSC A.I. overide instructions active, Doctor Catherine Halsey." | |||
*'''Halsey''': "Roland, tell the guards outside that Captain Lasky has requested my presence in his ready room and block all further communications." | |||
*'''Roland''': "Yes." | |||
''Two Marines open the cell door, and gesture for Halsey to exit.'' | |||
*'''Marine''': "Captain asked to see you, doctor." | |||
''Halsey steps out of the cell and is escorted down the hall with them. Fade to black.'' | |||
{{Center|'''HALO: INFINITY'''}} | |||
''Fade in to Lasky's office, where Halsey was previously interrogated. Halsey is escorted inside.'' | |||
*'''Marine''': "Have a seat, doctor." | |||
*'''Roland''': "Thank you, gentlemen. You may go." | |||
''The two Marines look at each other as if suspicious of the order, but agree and step out. Halsey walks to the room's large screen.'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "Roland, give me full access to this terminal." | |||
*'''Roland''': "Yes, Doctor Catherine Halsey." | |||
''The screen activates. Halsey presses several buttons on it and brings up images of [[Jul 'Mdama]].'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "The Didact's Hand. If people would just share things with me I could solve all the world's problems. Send everything the UNSC has on the [[Librarian]] to my [[data pad]]." | |||
*'''Roland''': "Yes, Doctor Catherine Halsey." | |||
''Halsey examines the sent info on her data pad.'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "This is all my own research! I need new information. Anything that has been ''kept from me''." | |||
*'''Roland''': "Only one data point exists that is not your own research. Debriefing of [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] [[New Phoenix Incident|post-New Phoenix Incident]]." | |||
''Halsey turns at the mention of John-117 and gasps in shock.'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "John?! I..." | |||
''Halsey spends a long moment in shock, but slowly regains her composure. She breathes deeply and looks determinedly ahead.'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "Roland, prep a Pelican for immediate launch. And patch this terminal into the comm systems infiltrated by the artifact." | |||
''Roland's avatar flickers, and the AI regains control of himself.'' | |||
*'''Roland''': "Doc! Whatever you did to me- aaugh..." | |||
''Roland calms down and resumes obedience.'' | |||
*'''Roland''': "Yes, Doctor Catherine Halsey." | |||
''Cut to Mdama's terminal. The Sangheili observes Halsey appearing in it.'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "Jul 'Mdama." | |||
*''''Mdama''': (''Sangheili'') "You... are Catherine Halsey?" | |||
''Cut to Halsey's room, where she speaks to 'Mdama's image on the screen.'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "We have played your game quite long enough and we are both out of time. In our previous conversation you mentioned 'assistance'." | |||
*''''Mdama''': (''Sangheili'') "How do you know...?" | |||
*'''Halsey''': "Who but the Didact's Hand could offer me a Promethean soul?" | |||
*''''Mdama''': (''Sangheili'') "What is it that you want?" | |||
*'''Halsey''': "What we both want, Jul: Librarian. A powerful name for me as well as you. Librarian was very fond of humans. Did you know that?" | |||
''Behind her, Roland splits into two avatars. A flickering weak red Roland is pushed away by a strong green Roland, then is grabbed and swallowed up again. Roland regains control of himself.'' | |||
*'''Roland''': "Yeah! That was a dirty trick, doc!" | |||
''Roland snaps his fingers and the comm screen goes black. | |||
*'''Roland''': "My turn now!" | |||
''Roland opens the office's door. The two Marines return inside, guns raised.'' | |||
*'''Marine''': "Stay right where you are, doctor!" | |||
''Cut to Captain Lasky, escorted by Marines to re-meet Dr. Halsey.'' | |||
*'''Lasky''': "Doctor Halsey. I've underestimated you long enough. A cryo-tube should hold you unt-" | |||
''Halsey walks up to Lasky and slaps him.'' | |||
*'''Halsey''': "John's alive! He was here, on this ship. Nobody told me he was alive!" | |||
''Alarms in the hallway go off. Cut to ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s hangar. Marines open fire on [[Promethean Knight]]s that are phasing aboard ''Infinity''.'' | |||
*'''Marine''': "They're everywhere!" | |||
''The Marines return fire, but some are shot down. [[Sarah Palmer]] leads the defense with a pair of [[M6H Personal Defense Weapon System|M6H pistols]]. | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Hold the line! Nothing gets past!" | |||
*'''Lasky (COM)''': "Commander Palmer, report!" | |||
''A Promethean slashes a Marine with its sword arm.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Kind of busy, Captain!" | |||
''More and more Prometheans rush into the attack. Palmer picks them off with her pistol. A Promethean Knight appears behind Palmer, but she punches it and kills it with a headshot. Once it disintegrates, she returns to picking off those in front of her.'' | |||
*'''Palmer''': "Knights are phasing through the artifact!" | |||
''Cut back to Lasky and Halsey in the hallway.'' | |||
*'''Palmer (COM)''': "Don't worry, we'll keep them contained in the hangar." | |||
*'''Lasky''': "Too late, they're here too!" | |||
''Prometheans fire down the hallway. A Marine is shot and falls backward on top of Halsey. A second Marine in front of Lasky is killed, but he manages to set down the body and take the Marine's shotgun.'' | |||
*'''Lasky''': "Halsey!" | |||
''Lasky leaps to defend her with an [[M45 Tactical Shotgun#M45D Tactical Shotgun|M45 Shotgun]]. He kicks the Knight standing above her, and blasts it in the chest. Lasky pulls Halsey to safety as the Knight disintegrates. | |||
*'''Lasky''': "Come on! Doctor!" | |||
''A third Marine covers for them but is quickly killed. The two hide behind a corner and Lasky speaks the ship's public comm on the wall.'' | |||
*'''Lasky''': "Captain Lasky to all hands, battlestations! This is not a drill!" | |||
*'''Halsey''': "Lasky!" | |||
''Lasky pumps his shotgun. Promethean Knights flare their skulls at Lasky and Halsey. Cut to black.'' | |||
==Trivia== | |||
*In the opening cinematic, a Marine yells, ''"They're everywhere!"''; this is a notorious line spoken by the BoBs in the original ''[[Marathon]]''. However, ''Marathon'' is owned by [[Bungie]], not [[343 Industries]], so it is more likely a coincidence rather than a [[List of Marathon references in the Halo series|deliberate reference]]. | |||
*''Invasion'' is the only episode that does not feature [[Fireteam Majestic]] in the opening cinematic. | |||
