=====Sangheili Medical Tent=====
''Sangheili medics are either tending to the wounded or examining one sitting down.''
*'''Sangheili #1:''' "What is it? Why do you pause?"
*'''Sangheili #2:''' "This wound is familiar."
*'''Sangheili #3:''' "'Mdama Keep. Their plasma blades burn less intensely. Harder to cut armor, but the injuries are more grievous and do not cauterize."
*'''Sangheili #2:''' "So the blades leave Sangheili alive, but too wounded to fight."
*'''Sangheili #3:''' "'Most choose suicide to preserve their honor."

*'''Wounded Sangheili:''' "You spill blood outside of battle! I would rather take my own life than let you touch me."

*'''Medic Sangheili:''' "Good. Since you cannot be brave, at least be quiet."


''If Locke speaks to the Sangheili:''

'''Locke:''' "Did you check the anti-gravity drive?"
*'''Medic Sangheili:''' "There is no battlefield harsher than a medic tent."
'''Sangheili #1:''' "That is not the problem, human."
*'''Wounded Sangheili:''' "Are you mad?! You know nothing of combat!"
*'''Medic Sangheili:''' "You fool! When I draw weapons, it is for combat with death herself. I defend you with knife and needle."
*'''Wounded Sangheili:''' "I fear no enemy. Not even death!"
*'''Medic Sangheili:''' "Yes. That is what they always say."


''If Vale speaks to the Sangheili.''
=====Sangheili repairing a Banshee=====

*'''Vale (if she joins conversation):''' "Is there anything we can do to help?"
 
*'''Sangheili #2:''' ''(To Vale)'' "No. Go away."

===Easter Eggs===
===Easter eggs===
*A [[Sangheili]] and Unggoy called [[Dimkee Hotay]] can be found on a ledge admiring the scenery. If the player waits around them for a bit, the Grunt will begin to comment on different aspects about the ''Halo'' franchise rather humorously, including the home planet of the Brutes, the [[John-117|Master Chief]]'s tendency to be unstoppable, and the honor code of the Elites. The Elite will simply grunt back in reply.

*An [[Mission Intel|Intel audio log]] can be found in the level describing interspecies affection between Sangheili and humans. The log is of the Sangheili [[Vel 'Trokaik]] reciting a love poem about [[Sarah Palmer]], before being humorously interrupted offscreen by a Grunt.

===References===
*In an [[Mission Intel|Intel Log]], a Sword Sangheili named [[Thon 'Kemtra]] expressed his admiration for the Arbiter's leadership, and unknowingly quoted [[Terrence Hood]], Thel's human friend and ally from ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Escalation]]'', with the said quote originating from the the [[Voi Memorial|epilogue]] of the former title.
*In another piece of intel, a Covenant assassin, [[Rhu 'Vrath]], was originally on a mission to assassinate the Arbiter, until he saw the [[Mark of Shame]], that he was branded with in the ''[[Halo 2]]'' mission ''[[Cairo Station]]''. As ''[[Before the Storm]]'' proved, he eventually defected to the Swords of Sanghelios, especially after seeing Fireteam Osiris fighting the Covenant on the ground.
