''The cutscene begins with [[Hieu Dinh]] lying down in a bed. Vital monitors beep around him as voices from the past begin to speak.''
''Spartans [[Sigrid Eklund]] and [[Hieu Dinh]] are at the [[Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science]]'s firing range in the evening. Sigrid is fully suited up and firing her [[MA40 assault rifle]] at targets downrange, while a helmetless Dinh looks forlorn at the empty [[Data crystal chip|AI chip]] in his possession.''
*'''Spartan Hieu Dinh''': "[[Iratus|He]] found memories I've never told anyone. Details I wish I forgot."
''Eklund ceases her target practice.''
*'''Spartan Sigrid Eklund''': "Dinh. That desert was a long time ago. There's nothing you could have done to save them."
*'''Dinh''': "'Death for you. And triumph for me.' What the hell does that mean?"
''Eklund has removed her helmet.''
*'''Eklund''': "That I am your friend. And that the thing in your head was not."
''Eklund reaches toward's Dinh's hand, lowering it and taking his attention away from the AI chip. The Player's Spartan walks in, and the camera pans around to take their point of view.''
*'''Eklund''': "Ah, ja. Here's the one I told you about. The newest member of our pack. Play nice. This wolf saved your life."
''Eklund begins to walk away.''
*'''Dinh''': "You tell [[Laurette Agryna|Agryna]] not to worry. My head's as good as it ever was!
*'''Eklund''': "Maybe that's what she's worried about."
''Eklund smiles and leaves the scene.''
*'''Dinh''': "You shove one [[Banished]] AI into your neural matrix, and everyone panics!. Look. I'm not great with 'thank you.' So, here."
''Dinh picks up a [[Bandit]] and offers it to the Player's Spartan. They accept it, and inspect the weapon.''
*'''Dinh''': "It kicks. But its never let me down."
''Dinh moves to the side to grab his helmet. The Player Spartan's gaze focuses towards the sunset, before Dinh wanders back in front of them.''
*'''Dinh''': "You know, I cycled through here for training too. This place is old, just like me."
''Dinh stares at his AI chip once again.''
*'''Dinh''': "Iratus didn't care about me... He only cared where I might go."
''Dinh begins to walk off, but turns to face the Player's Spartan.''
*'''Dinh''': "You get good with that, then come find me. This place? It has memories too."
''Dinh walks off, and the Player's Spartan turns to see the sun disappear behind the distant mountains.''


*'''Marine Medic''': His neural link is corrupted, ma'am.
''The scene cuts to a [[War Games]] session taking place on [[Live Fire]], with the camera slowly panning through the central underground hallway as Spartans run by out of focus. The camera approaches the 'BLDG-09' door in the center of the hallway, as a stray [[M9 fragmentation grenade]] lands in front of it. The grenade detonates, and the blast damage scrapes much of the paint off, revealing that the paint was covering an [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] seal.''
*'''[[Laurette Agryna]]''': [[Sigrid Eklund|Eklund]]. What exactly did Spartan Dinh put inside his head?
''The camera shows a brain monitor. The fingers on Dinh's right hand move.''
*'''Eklund''': A [[Iratus|Banished AI]]. The first I've ever seen.
''The camera shows the back of Dinh's helmet. The AI slot glows red. Dinh's head shakes.''
*'''Iratus''': (Furious roar)
''The brain monitor beeps much more rapidly now. Dinh's entire body shakes, and his head violently shakes.''


''The scene changes to Dinh standing on a desert planet, armored, but without his helmet. A [[Forerunner]] structure stands before him. The camera moves towards Dinh's face.
*'''Dinh''': Why? Why here?
''The camera shows Dinh's face, with closed eyes.''
*'''Iratus''': Because you refuse to see.
''Dinh opens his eyes. A [[UNSC]]-designed door appears in front of him.''
*'''Dinh''': There's nothing you can show me that I haven't seen a thousand times.
''Dinh walks in front of the door.''
*'''Iratus''': Except the truth.
''The door slides open, revealing a gray fog inside.''
''Iratus appears behind Dinh, then hovers in front of him.''
'''Iratus''': Go on. I dare you.
''Dinh walks through the door. He appears in front of the Forerunner structure, now at night. A flaming [[Razorback]] is in front of him.''
'''Dinh''': I told them. Go at night. Airborne. It would have been different.
''Dinh crouches down and picks up a [[VK78 Commando]].
*'''Iratus''': Would it?
''Iratus shows Dinh what would have happened in that scenario. He shows Dinh a [[Pelican]] being shot down by plasma shots.''
''Dinh becomes infuriated at Iratus.''
*'''Dinh''': Get Out! Get Out! (angry roar) Get! Out!
*'''Iratus''': (Cruel chuckle) But there is so much more to see.
''Suddenly, [[Drone]]s emerge from the sand around Dinh and they pull him under the sand.''
*'''Dinh''': (Pained groan)
*''Dinh falls through the interior of the Forerunner structure and lands on the ground. He rises to his feet.''
*'''Iratus''': I smell...(sniffs) fear. How disappointing.
''The same door from the desert is in front of Dinh.''
''Iratus once again appears beside Dinh.''
*'''Dinh''': You weren't here. And I'm not gonna let you go any further!
*'''Iratus''': Ah! There's that [[Spartan]] spirit! Delicious!
''The door slides open, revealing a blinding white light. Dinh is forcibly pulled into the door.''
*'''Iratus''': But, in the end, pointless.
''Dinh is taken into a room with dead Drones littering the floor. Dead [[Spartan-IV]]s are scattered among the corpses.
*'''Dinh''': You don't know anything.
''Dinh walks to a pillar in the center of the room. A dead Spartan is against the pillar.''
*'''Iratus''': Because the truth is this: it always ends the exact same way.
''Dinh removes the Spartan's helmet, revealing himself, but with shorter hair. His doppelganger opens his eyes.''
*'''Doppelganger''': Death for you. And triumph-
''The doppelganger grabs Dinh.''
'''Iratus, through Dinh''': -for me!
''Dinh rises in the bed, and the camera zooms into his helmet.''
''Cuts to black.''

Cutscene transcript[edit]

Enemy Mind[edit]

Having earned the Wolves' respect, you find Eklund and Dinh still reckoning with Iratus' attack.

Spartans Sigrid Eklund and Hieu Dinh are at the Avery J. Johnson Academy of Military Science's firing range in the evening. Sigrid is fully suited up and firing her MA40 assault rifle at targets downrange, while a helmetless Dinh looks forlorn at the empty AI chip in his possession.

  • Spartan Hieu Dinh: "He found memories I've never told anyone. Details I wish I forgot."

Eklund ceases her target practice.

  • Spartan Sigrid Eklund: "Dinh. That desert was a long time ago. There's nothing you could have done to save them."
  • Dinh: "'Death for you. And triumph for me.' What the hell does that mean?"

Eklund has removed her helmet.

  • Eklund: "That I am your friend. And that the thing in your head was not."

Eklund reaches toward's Dinh's hand, lowering it and taking his attention away from the AI chip. The Player's Spartan walks in, and the camera pans around to take their point of view.

  • Eklund: "Ah, ja. Here's the one I told you about. The newest member of our pack. Play nice. This wolf saved your life."

Eklund begins to walk away.

  • Dinh: "You tell Agryna not to worry. My head's as good as it ever was!
  • Eklund: "Maybe that's what she's worried about."

Eklund smiles and leaves the scene.

  • Dinh: "You shove one Banished AI into your neural matrix, and everyone panics!. Look. I'm not great with 'thank you.' So, here."

Dinh picks up a Bandit and offers it to the Player's Spartan. They accept it, and inspect the weapon.

  • Dinh: "It kicks. But its never let me down."

Dinh moves to the side to grab his helmet. The Player Spartan's gaze focuses towards the sunset, before Dinh wanders back in front of them.

  • Dinh: "You know, I cycled through here for training too. This place is old, just like me."

Dinh stares at his AI chip once again.

  • Dinh: "Iratus didn't care about me... He only cared where I might go."

Dinh begins to walk off, but turns to face the Player's Spartan.

  • Dinh: "You get good with that, then come find me. This place? It has memories too."

Dinh walks off, and the Player's Spartan turns to see the sun disappear behind the distant mountains.

The scene cuts to a War Games session taking place on Live Fire, with the camera slowly panning through the central underground hallway as Spartans run by out of focus. The camera approaches the 'BLDG-09' door in the center of the hallway, as a stray M9 fragmentation grenade lands in front of it. The grenade detonates, and the blast damage scrapes much of the paint off, revealing that the paint was covering an Office of Naval Intelligence seal.
