He continues forward briefly before disembarking and engaging a Grunt directly in front of him. He kills the Grunt with the butt of his MA40, pivots left to see an [[Sangheili|Elite]] and a Grunt in a small bunker, switches to his [[MK50 Sidekick]], engaging and killing the Grunt.

He throws a [[M9 fragmentation grenade|frag grenade]] at another Grunt on the far side of the bunker, before killing it with a [[headshot]], immediately prior to the grenade detonating. He re-equips his [[MA40 assault rifle|MA40]] and engages the Elite, killing it at close range with a melee. He leaves the bunker and swaps his MA40 for a [[VK78 Commando]]. He is engaged from the left by two Grunts - one with a plasma pistol, the other with a needler.

He pivots left and engages them with his VK78, killing them, then reloads. He looks up at a "pillared" cliff face and sees a platform elevator descend from the top of the cliff. His shields recharge as he sprints up a ramp towards the elevator. From the sky, two streaks of red light appear, ending with the impact of Banished drop pods. The doors blow off and two [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] emerge. He engages the first with his VK78.

The Chief retreats down the ramp as the Brute charges him, firing his VK50 at the charging Brute. He finishes the Brute with a melee kill from his VK50 and reloads. He walks over to a nearby ammo dump and grabs a [[drop wall]] and spike grenades.

He walks over to a nearby ammo dump and grabs a [[drop wall]] and spike grenades. The third drop pod lands as the Chief is getting the equipment. He emerges from the ammo dump and deploys the drop wall as the Brute throws a spike grenade. The grenade sticks to the drop wall and detonates. The Brute engages the Chief, its rounds hitting the drop wall, while his VK50 rounds pass through the drop wall to hit the Brute. The Chief emerges from behind the drop wall to engage the Brute. He fires several rounds, destroying his helmet, before leaping towards the Brute. He uses his [[grappleshot]] to quickly bring himself to the Brute and sticks it with a spike grenade.''
 
*'''Brute''': This is the end! <!--Can someone with a better audio setup than 11-year-old laptop speakers confirm this?-->
 
''The Chief backs away as the Brute uses its [[jetpack]] to take to the air. The spike grenade detonates, killing the Brute, causing it to crash back to the ground. He grabs the Brute's [[Ravager]], switches to his MK50 and reloads. He continues to the lift and activates it. As the lift goes up, the Chief takes in the scenery. Some avian creatures fly past, and then are again seen as the Chief reaches the top. He looks around further at the scenery before seeing a Banished Phantom approaching, which then turns and continues on. A Jackal emerges from behind a cargo crate, which the Chief engages, but doesn't kill, before switching to the Ravager, which he uses on an engaging Grunt. He reloads just in time to see a Grunt with an armed plasma grenade flying at him, having been thrown by a Brute. The detonation of the plasma grenade depletes his shields as he kills a Jackal. He [[Spartan abilities#Clamber|climbs]] on a nearby crate, and jumps, engaging another Jackal. He lands as he kills a Grunt. He switches his MK50 for a nearby [[pulse carbine]]. From a pair of nearby bunkers, more enemies emerge as the Chief switches back to his Ravager. He engages and kills a Grunt that came from the right bunker.''
 
*'''Brute''': Die! For the Banished! <!--Can someone with a better audio setup than 11-year-old laptop speakers confirm this?-->
 
''He switches to the pulse carbine and engages the left bunker enemies before pivoting and engaging Grunts to his right, killing one. He switches back to the Ravager to engage the Brute, then quickly switches back to the pulse carbine, the Brute having drained his shields.''
 
*'''Brute''': You'll die! <!--Can someone with a better audio setup than 11-year-old laptop speakers confirm this?-->
 
''He kills the Brute and a Grunt that was behind the Brute. He pivots right and fires his pulse carbine into a bunker, detonating the [[fusion core|fusion cores]] inside. He engages a Jackal just outside the bunker, overheating his pulse carbine, and switches to his Ravager.''
 
*'''Jackal''': ''unintelligible''. You do! <!--Can someone with a better audio setup than 11-year-old laptop speakers confirm this?-->
 
''His shields recharge and he kills the Jackal. The Chief turns right.''
 
*'''Grunt''': ''unintelligible'' <!--Can someone with a better audio setup than 11-year-old laptop speakers confirm this?-->
 
''His Ravager depleted, he walks to a nearby supply dump and swaps his pulse carbine for a [[Mangler]]. He looks up at the anti-aircraft battery and [[Artemis Tracking System|scans]] the area. He sprints to a nearby cliffside and [[grappleshot|grapples]] up, encountering a Grunt. He charges forward and melees the Grunt with his Mangler, killing it. He pushes forward and sees a [[Banished Shade]] on a short cliff, which begins firing at him, but not before he can take cover behind a rock. He engages a pair of Grunts to the right of the rock, killing them. He sees a [[fusion core]] next to a bunker and uses his grappleshot to pull it to him. He emerges from behind the rock and throws it at the Shade, disabling the Shade's shield. It pivots to engage the Chief, but the occupant is killed before it can. He walks up a short dirt ramp, passing the Shade, and engaging a Brute, Jackals and Grunts. The Chief throws a spike grenade past the Brute.''

''The Brute dives to the side. The Chief continues engaging the enemies with his Mangler.''

''He opens fire on the enemies and nearby fusion cores. He dismounts and kills fires at the Brute with the Mangler before swapping it for a nearby [[CQS48 Bulldog]], using it to kill the Brute. He sprints towards a small crate.''
 
*'''Brute''': You should've...''unintelligible''!<!--Can someone with a better audio setup than 11-year-old laptop speakers confirm this?-->
 
''The Chief jumps over the crate, killing the Jackal behind it with the CQS48, fires a shot at the Brute, who fires back, knocking the Chief's shields offline, and sticks the Brute with a plasma grenade before pivoting and firing a shot at an Elite, draining its shields. He jumps and fires another shot, killing it. His shields recharge as he turns around reloads the shotgun.''
 
*'''Brute''': Engaging!<!--Can someone with a better audio setup than 11-year-old laptop speakers confirm this?-->
 
''He fires at the Brute, killing it. He turns around, swaps to his Ravager, then back to the CQS48 and jumps over a crate, engaging an Elite and two Grunts just past a large rock.''
 
*'''Grunt''': He's here!
 
*'''Grunt''': ''unintelligible''<!--Can someone with a better audio setup than 11-year-old laptop speakers confirm this?-->
 
''He kills one Grunt, then engages the Elite, knocking out its shields, and then uses his grappleshot to rapidly approach the Elite, landing a killing blow with his forearm as the last Grunt knocks out the Chief's shields. He kills the last Grunt then enters an adjacent [[gravity lift]], carrying him up into the anti-aircraft cannon. He lands inside the control room, approaches a console and pushes the controls. After he does, a klaxon sounds and alarm lights activate, followed by the room's doors closing.''
 
*'''[[Escharum|Voice]]''': The [[UNSC]] lost this [[War for Installation 07|war]] [[2559#December|months ago]].
 
''As he speaks, the local topographic map behind the console changes into an [[Escharum|armored Brute with one eye]], who turns to face the Chief.
 
''We ''cut to'' a montage as the Brute, [[Escharum]], speaks:
 
''[[Discover Hope|SCENE]]: [[Echo 216's pilot]] runs into the rear of his Pelican.''
*'''Escharum''': Your people are
 
''SCENE: [[Echo 216's pilot]] falls down a hole inside a ship or craft.''
*'''Escharum''': broken.
 
''We ''cut back to'' the hologram of Escharum.''
*'''Escharum''': Scattered. Hunted!
 
''[[Discover Hope|SCENE]]: [[Echo 216's pilot]] wipes the frost off of the cockpit window of his Pelican to see the Chief floating in space.''
*'''Escharum''': Defeated!
 
''We ''cut back to'' the hologram of Escharum.''
*'''Escharum''' (menacingly): By me.
 
''Escharum smirks menacingly as he continues.''
 
''SCENE: [[Echo 216's pilot]] walks towards a giant hole filled with starship debris and falls to his knees in sorrow.''
*'''Escharum''': I wish I could tell you it was difficult.
 
''We ''cut back to'' the hologram of Escharum.''
*'''Escharum''': But it wasn't. (laughs)
 
''SCENE: Inside [[Echo 216]], [[John-117|the Chief]] is viewing a room-filling hologram. At the center is Echo 216, and around it are triangular markers labeled "INFINITY" and are accompanied by either a [[Symbols of the UNSC#UNSC_logo|UNSC emblem]], an [[Symbols of the Office of Naval Intelligence#Seal of the Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI emblem]], or an [[SOEIV]] silhouette. As Escharum speaks, they all change to red DECEASED and are replaced with red X's.
*'''Escharum''': We are one step ahead! Always!
 
''[[Discover Hope|SCENE]]: The Chief sees [[Installation 07]] out Echo 216's cockpit window.
*'''Escharum''' (proudly): The ring is already under our control!
 
''SCENE: The Chief and [[Echo 216's pilot]] look at a hologram of Installation 07.''
*'''Escharum''': Soon, [[the Auditorium]] as well.
 
''We ''cut back to'' the hologram of Escharum.''
*'''Escharum''': [[The Harbinger]] and the [[Banished]] share the same goal! We fight together to honor the will of Atriox! But...
 
''Escharum turns to the left/his right.''
 
*'''Escharum''': But, without challenge, I grew...weary. Lost. Alone. But... (smiles)
 
''Escharum turns back to face the Chief. The hologram transitions into the real Escharum.''
 
*'''Escharum''': ...here you now stand.
 
''Escharum bares his fangs as white lights flicker in the dark room behind him.''
 
*'''Escharum''' (emphatically): This is my last fight. A true test of legends! ''Our story'' will outlive us both. Set a fire in your heart, Spartan! Bare your fangs! Fight hard! Die well.
