* '''Cortana''': [[High Charity (level)|"Don't make a girl a promise you can't keep."]]  

* '''Cortana''': "We need to move!"

=== REQUIEM ===

* '''Cortana''': "Doesn't look like [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant|the Covenant]] fared much better than we did."

* '''[[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Halsey]] (Terminal)''': "The interesting factor here isn't that H-1 disabled the viral termination code I implanted in her matrix. These metrics imply its success wasn't just unlikely, but that even the accepted seven-year life cycle estimates may not apply. Thus far, I've determined that the unique circumstances of her creation have triggered what I can only refer to as a recessive variant in the AI seed. As her architect, I'm currently at a loss as to the origin of this rogue element. Very...''curious''."

* '''Cortana''': "The console's still got some power in it."

* '''Cortana''': "I'm curious, more than anything. Its behavior is...odd."

''The caverns eventually give way to a small valley, occupied by Covenant Phantoms and infantry. The hillsides are dotted with small Forerunner columns, with a single large spire looming in the distance.''

* '''Cortana''': "Chief, several patrols just reported in outside that structure over the ridge. It's possible they're on to something."

* '''Cortana''': "If we're going to hijack a ship from these Covenant, we're going to have to find where they're landing first."

* '''Cortana''': "I'll run a soft patch to it from the suit. Never know what might come in handy."

* '''Cortana''': "There's that phantom signal again."

''John observes as a hologram of Requiem appears over the Cartographer.''

* '''John-117''': "Requiem. At least we know where we are now."

''A diagram appears, displaying a map of the structure.''

''Cortana suddenly snaps back to the Cartographer.''

* '''Cortana''': "I wonder if it's related to whatever the Covenant are after."

''If the player delays.''

'''{''Cutscene''}'''

* '''Cortana''': "According to the Cathedral, this Terminus is just one node of a larger transit grid that spans the entire planet..."
