The Master Chief, after teleporting back to the [[Control Room]], proceeds to activate [[Installation 04]]. However, [[Cortana]], who after spending twelve hours in the control room has discovered Halo's true purpose, stops him just in time. After stealing the [[Activation Index]], she tells the Chief that Halo will wipe out all life in the galaxy, and turns the Chief against the [[343 Guilty Spark|Monitor]] who confirms Cortana's claims, confused that the Master Chief didn't already know this. Spark sends [[Sentinel]]s to take the Spartan's head, and the [[Artificial intelligence|AI]] inside his helmet, but they are quickly destroyed. | The Master Chief, after teleporting back to the [[Control Room]], proceeds to activate [[Installation 04]].

Cortana decides that they must destroy Halo to keep it from being fired and decides that the best course of action is to detonate the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'s fusion engines which will destabilize the ring and cut through a number of primary systems. To buy them some time in case the Monitor finds another way to activate Halo, Cortana orders the Master Chief to disable the three [[phase pulse generator]]s in the area to force the Monitor to make repairs before Halo can be fired. The Master Chief is forced to fight through a combination of Covenant, Flood and Sentinel forces and use [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] to reach each generator which Cortana uses an [[EMP]] to disable. Cortana is able to use the [[proselytization network|Covenant battlenet]] to locate the ''Pillar of Autumn's'' crash site, but requires Captain [[Jacob Keyes]] or his command codes to activate the ship's [[self-destruct]]. After disabling the third pulse generator, Cortana is able to locate Keyes, who is still alive, onboard the Covenant {{ | Cortana decides that they must destroy Halo to keep it from being fired and decides that the best course of action is to detonate the {{UNSCShip|Pillar of Autumn}}'s fusion engines which will destabilize the ring and cut through a number of primary systems.

At Cortana's suggestion, the Master Chief allows the AI to draw power from his suit to use Halo's [[teleportation grid]] to teleport them to the battlecruiser rather than calling for a ride which will take more time that they don't have. | ||

''Two Betrayals'' was primarily designed by [[Bungie]] designer [[Dan Orzulak]].{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}} ''Two Betrayals'' shares most of its level geometry with ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'', albeit adding the phase pulse generator rooms and skipping the opening section of ''Assault on the Control Room'': from where ''[[Echo 419]]'' deploys John-117 to where he first finds members of [[Fireteam Zulu]]. | ''Two Betrayals'' was primarily designed by [[Bungie]] designer [[Dan Orzulak]].{{Ref/YouTube|Id=IGN|9ndZbg8Mr-Q|IGN|Halo: Combat Evolved Devs React to Speedrun (Martin O’Donnell, Marcus Lehto)}} ''Two Betrayals'' shares most of its level geometry with ''[[Assault on the Control Room]]'', albeit adding the phase pulse generator rooms and skipping the opening section of ''Assault on the Control Room'': from where ''[[Echo 419]]'' deploys John-117 to where he first finds members of [[Fireteam Zulu]]. The other main differences from ''Assault on the Control Room'' are that John-117 works "backwards" through the level (aside from his detours in Banshees), and it occurs at night. | ||
In an early story draft, John-117 returned to the Control Room to find Cortana had gone mad with power and now wanted to take over the universe. This plot point was cut for unspecified reasons. Cortana says British phrases like 'sod off' and 'toady about' in the opening cinematic of the level, because [[Jason Jones]] originally wanted Cortana to have a British accent. Cortana's voice actress [[Jen Taylor]] had already recorded the lines in her natural American accent when [[Joseph Staten]] raised the issue to Audio Director [[Martin O'Donnell]]. The dialogue and American accent were kept in the final release due to time constraints.{{Ref/Film|Id=Commentary|[[Halo 3 Legendary Edition|''Halo 3'' Legendary Edition]], Halo: Combat Evolved developer commentary}} In ''[[Halo: The Flood]]'', Cortana says "piss off" rather than "sod off". | In an early story draft, John-117 returned to the Control Room to find Cortana had gone mad with power and now wanted to take over the universe.

*After the player takes out the third generator, any remaining Sentinels in the room will be destroyed. However, in rare instances that the generator is destroyed and the Aggressors are left alive, they will begin attacking the Master Chief and, despite being in a scripted custom animation, the Chief's shields will fall and he will die. The dialogue continues regardless. | *After the player takes out the third generator, any remaining Sentinels in the room will be destroyed.

* It's possible to soft lock the mission if the player manages to bring either a Ghost or Banshee with them into the large room just before heading towards the final generator. This can be done if the player, with enough practice, manages to jam either vessel through the semi-operational blastdoor used to enter the room. As a result, the 'Final Run' chapter won't activate, as well as any waves of Covenant or Flood that were meant to spawn. | |||
