''Opens to an orange sky. A [[Type-56 Lich]] flies among the clouds. Cut to the inside of the Lich. A [[Swords of Sanghelios|Sword of Sanghelios]] faces [[SPARTAN-IV program|Spartan-IV]] [[Jameson Locke]].''

''Fade in on the broken pieces of [[Installation 04]], still burning. Groups of [[The Covenant|Covenant]] {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser}}s prowl among them.''

''The stadium seats are filled with [[Sangheili]] and [[San'Shyuum]] [[Councilors]], who are muttering amongst themselves.''

*'''[[Prophet of Mercy]]''': "Why was it not destroyed, with the rest of [[Epsilon Eridani Fleet|their fleet]]?"

''Fades to white and to a flashback: the UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' escaping from Reach as Covenant ships surround it.''

*'''Thel 'Vadamee''': "But I followed with all the ships in my command."

*'''Prophet of Regret''': ''(angrily)'' "Yet the humans were able to [[Battle of Installation 04|evade your ships, land on the Sacred Ring, and desecrate it with their filthy footsteps]]!"

[[File:H2A - Regret and Truth.jpg|300px|right|thumb|Regret insists to Truth that 'Vadamee be punished for his failure immediately.]]

*'''Prophet of Regret''': ''(whispers to Truth)'' "Noble Prophet of Truth, this has gone on long enough. Make an example of this bungler. The Council demands it."

*'''[[Prophet of Objection]]''': ''(Stands up and shows a fist)'' "Nay, it was heresy!"

*'''Thel 'Vadamee''': ''(to the Hierarchs)'' "I will continue my campaign against the humans!"

''View fades to a new background. The circular ornament on the Prophet of Truth's headpiece is replaced by Earth's moon.  The view then pans to [[Earth]] itself, focusing on three orbital [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon|MAC]] [[Orbital Defense Platform|stations]] in orbit. A few [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] ships fly past.''

*'''[[Unidentified Master Gunnery Sergeant|Master Gunnery Sergeant]]''': "Your [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark V|plating]] was about to fail, there's viscosity throughout the [[Hydrostatic Gel|gel]] layer..."

*The UNSC ''Pillar of Autumn'' is represented by the {{Class|Marathon|cruiser}} model, despite the fact that it is a {{Class|Halcyon|cruiser}}. This was likely done to conserve resources during the development of the game; The vessel is properly represented as a Halcyon once more in the remastered ''[[Halo 2: Anniversary]]''.

*This level is one of the only four levels in the entire ''Halo'' series in which there is no gameplay; the others being ''[[Noble Actual]]'', ''[[Prologue]]'', and ''[[Epilogue (Halo 4 level)|Epilogue ]]''.

*The two Jiralhanae that accompany Thel 'Vadamee varies in rank during each playthrough. They could be both [[Jiralhanae Major|Major]], both [[Jiralhanae Minor|Minor]], or one Major and one Minor.
