{Cutscene}

[044657.04.21.21.34.56]

A matte painting from the terminals depicting the Outbreak at the Containment Facility.
Keyes and his squad are attacked and consumed by the Flood.

Fade in to Jacob Keyes' eyes. They are shut, with a pained expression.

  • Jacob Keyes: "I, forgot something..."

A bright sun rises amidst a cloudy sky.

  • Jacob Keyes: "What did I- My name. I forgot... Oh! Uh... Keyes, Jacob. Captain. Service number 01928-19912-JK."

Keyes' name patch and medals are shown.

Fade to black, then to Keyes' closed eyes.

  • Jacob Keyes: "What is that noise? What is that damned noise?!"

Keyes imagines himself standing at attention in uniform, saluting.

  • Jacob Keyes: "Where am I?"

Keyes' memories take him back to the Flood containment facility, as his contingent of Marines battle the Flood. All hell breaks loose in slow-motion; every sound is distorted as though underwater.

The Marines open fire at a charging combat form, to little effect. A Marine runs away from a horde of Flood as another is overwhelmed behind him. Keyes is shown, screaming.

  • Jacob Keyes: "Covenant captured me. Didn't they? I - I can't, I can't remember..."

Keyes' eyes have opened. He is now part of the Proto-Gravemind.

Keyes imagines himself standing at attention again.

  • Jacob Keyes: "Keyes, Jacob..."

The Keyes standing at attention screams as his arm mutates to that of a Flood combat form. Blood pours out of his stomach.

  • Jacob Keyes: "Oh, God... It hurts!"

A partially-infected Keyes is shown firing an assault rifle.

  • Jacob Keyes: "This - will - never - work, you Covenant bastards! I'll never lead you to Earth!"

The UNSC Home Fleet is shown in Earth orbit. Fade through a human city, a desert highway, and Sydney Harbour at night.

  • Jacob Keyes: "Keyes, Jacob... Captain. Service number...01928-19912-JK."

Human teeth flash for a moment.

  • Jacob Keyes: "Oh God. You don't want Earth...you want everything! Get out of my head!"

Keyes' eyes look around in terror. A human combat form flashes by, as Keyes screams again.

Jacob imagines his daughter Miranda, as an adult and in her uniform.

  • Jacob Keyes: "Miranda...? Is that you?"
  • Gravemind: "Forget everything."

Fade to another shot of Miranda, who vacantly nods her head.

  • Jacob Keyes: "No. Please! Don't let me forget-"

Miranda slowly fades to black, as Keyes' memories of her are taken from him. Keyes strains in effort.

  • Jacob Keyes: "-Keyes, Jacob..."

Cut to a swinging ceiling fan, then to a young Catherine Halsey in a nightgown.

  • Jacob Keyes: "Captain. Service number...01928-19912-JK!"

A human Flood combat form darts around with inhuman speed.

Cut to the Proto-Gravemind.

  • Gravemind: "No more, what you were. Memories..."

Keyes is standing in uniform, then shaking hands with Halsey.

  • Gravemind: "Emotions..."

Flashes of memory. Keyes is standing in a starship's bridge, taking a walk with Halsey, holding a slip of paper, two Marines in battle dress. Cut to black.

  • Gravemind: "All is now ours."

Keyes has now lost all trace of fear, showing only determination.

  • Jacob Keyes: "Keyes, Jacob. Captain. Service number 01928-19912-JK!"

Keyes' voice grows more and more distorted, matching the Gravemind's.

  • Jacob Keyes: "You will not! Have! Me!"

Cut to black.

  • Gravemind: "...we already do."
