Halo Wars

• "Captain's report, February 4th, 2531. Five years, five long years. That's how long it took us to get Harvest back..."
• "At first it was going well..."
• "Then setback after setback..."
• "Loss after loss..."
• "Made what was going to be a quick and decisive win..."
• "Into five years of Hell..."
• "Of course, that's all Harvest really is today..."
• "It's Hell down there, but now it's ours again."
• "Prep for pod launches, bring weapon systems online."
• "Harvest may be ours again, but I don't think the Covenant appreciate that yet."
• "Damn it, that complicates our mission. Anders, what have you got?"
• "We need to turn that around, Sergeant. Serina, what's our status?"
• "What made you choose my observation deck as your lab, Professor?"
• "Forge doesn't think it's safe for you to go down there yet. He's quite insistent."
• "I'm approving the mission, but the slightest sign of danger and I'm pulling you out. Is that understood?"
• "Our primary mission here is to reach that structure, destroying that base is a secondary objective."
• "If the Covenant detonate those explosives our mission here is over! Get to the detonator!"
• "Sergeant, Alpha Base won't be able to respond in time, we've got Grizzlies inbound from Spirit of Fire, hold on down there."
• "Our orders are to investigate Harvest. We still don't know a lot about what's going on down there."
• "Very well, Professor. I'll clear it with Admiral Cole. Serina, set course for Arcadia."
• "Serina? Situation update, please."
• "We can not lose our foothold on Arcadia, gentlemen. Secure a defensible position, and hold it until we can reinforce you!"
• "So...it's an energy shield that they can deploy on the planet."
• "Agreed, we need to find out what that is, can we use the ships cannons and take it out directly?"
• "Professor, Sergeant Forge, let's get that shield down!"
• "Are you sure this is it, Serina?"
• "All hands, engage! Serina, I've got troops out there still! Get them back on board now!"
• "Forge, get out there and get those things off my ship! You can requisition troops from the airlocks on the deck, if we lose those airlocks, we'll be defenseless."
• "Serina, maximum power to the engines. Get us out of here!"
• "Is this really going to work, Professor?"
• "Enough to destroy all the ships here before the Covenant can get a chance to make anything of them."
• "I don't want to take anymore chances flying that core in, we're changing this to a ground operation."
• "Let's see if we can't turn that to our advantage. Serina, plot a course that takes us into the sun. We're going to slingshot around it."
• "Professor, there's been no sign of the Covenant for almost two weeks. There's nothing to do."
• "But nothing, Professor. You got us all out of there alive. Get some rest."
