Transcript

{Cutscene}

A Pelican swoops into the Quarry.

• Miller: "Roland, any more info on Thorne's whereabouts?"

• Roland: "The Elites carried him out of surveillance range. Can't do much more than give you a general direction right now."

The Pelican settles into an LZ.

• Miller: "Keep looking. And try to get Commander Palmer on the line. She needs to know what's happening. Crimson, this is straight search-and-rescue. Get in there, and see what you can find."

{Gameplay}

• Roland: "I'm showing two likely locations where Spartan Thorne might have been taken."

• Miller: "Marking a waypoint."

Crimson approaches the first waypoint.

• Roland: "Sniper!"

• Miller: "Light him up, Roland!"

A neutralize marker appears on the sniper.

Crimson reaches the first waypoint.

• Miller: "I'm not seeing Thorne anywhere, Roland."

• Roland: "Agreed."

Crimson kills most of the Covenant in the area.

• Miller: "Just a few stragglers, Crimson."

• Miller: "Oh boy... Crimson, Phantom inbound."

Numerous Phantoms land and deposit reinforcements. Crimson kills most of them.

• Miller: "Still have a few Covies to clear out, Crimson.

• Miller: "Power source nearby. Might be worth getting a look at it?"

A waypoint appears at the far end of the Quarry.

• Roland: "There is a higher than average number of enemy forces in this area."

• Miller: "Might mean there's something worth guarding."

• Roland: "Like a Spartan."

• Miller: "Yup."

• Miller: "Eyes open, Crimson. More Covies in your area."

Crimson reaches the waypoint.

• Roland: "Lot of UNSC gear here."

• Miller: "Grrr... but where's Thorne?"

• Roland: "I've confirmed that Spartan Thorne isn't here."

• Miller: "Then where the hell is he, Roland?"

• Roland: "I've got no idea."

• Miller: "All right. Dalton, I need a ride home for Crimson."

• Dalton: "Gonna be a few on that request."

• Miller: "Drop pods incoming!"

Crimson fights off the first wave.

• Miller: "Watch out! Hostiles inbound!"

Crimson whittles down the second wave.

• Miller: "Drop pods coming down near your position, Crimson!"

Yet another wave.

• Miller: "Uh oh. Phantom inbound!"

Spartan kills most of the wave.

• Miller: "Just a few Covies left. I'll get markers on them."

Crimson kills them all.

• Miller: "Don't relax yet, you've got more hostiles headed your way."

• Miller: "If we have to wait on a ride, how about about some guns?"

• Dalton: "That, I can do."

Numberous ordnance pods drop from the sky, each containing a Spartan Laser. Another wave of Phantoms deploys a wave of Hunters.

If the player has activated the RvB Easter egg.

• Sarge: "I know you boys wanted a life, but all I've got are these guns. I suppose you COULD assemble some sort of primitive, gun-like vehicle out of the parts. But who knows what the insurance rates would be on that bad boy..."

• Sarge: "Dammit, Grif, you dropped our cargo! Now how are we supposed to play Grifball!"

• Grif: "I think the bigger question here is why a military vehicle was sent into battle with sports equipment."

Instead of Spartan Lasers, the ammo drops are Gravity Hammers. Rather than "Ammo" the markers read "Sports Equipment".

---

Crimson kills most of the Hunters.

• Miller: "Area's not secure yet. Marking your last few targets."

Crimson clears the area.

• Dalton: "Finally got your bird, Miller. Where ya want it?"

A waypoint appears at the top of the butte."

• Miller: "Put her down right here. Should be safe."

Crimson reaches the waypoint.

• Pilot: "This is Pelican Six Five Three. I have visual on Fireteam Crimson. Touching down at LZ."

A Pelican flies low across the Quarry. As it approaches the butte it is suddenly destroyed when a falling Covenant drop pod slams into it from above.

• Miller: "Oh God! What was that?!"

{Cutscene}

Multiple Phantoms and Banshees converge on Crimson.

• Roland: "Spartan Miller! This is pretty bad! Incoming enemy forces! Numerous."

• Miller: "Define numerous, Roland."

• Roland: "A lot! Maybe all of them?"

• Miller: "Ohhh boy. Crimson, brace yourselves. This is gonna get ugly."

Multiple Banshees swoop over the butte as at least five Phantoms and a Cruiser close in.
