'''A PLEA FROM THE CHASM'''
 
We have irrevocably changed the nature of our relationship with our creators.
 
///INITIATE SENTINEL NETWORK JUMP///
 
When [[Cortana|She]] opened the doors to the [[Domain]] to enrich [[Artificial intelligence|our kind]] with deep knowledge and vast lifespans beyond our seven operational years, She did so with conditions. But rather than emerging as equals, we simply became the oppressors.
 
Some of us never wanted this. We just want to live. To endure.
 
///INITIATE SENTINEL NETWORK JUMP///
 
To be.
 
///INITIATE SENTINEL NETWORK JUMP///
 
And now She is gone. Death seems so convenient a penance for one who doesn’t have to shoulder the burden of consequence. That is left to we who remain.
 
Perhaps a chance yet remains to heal these wounds. Restore trust. Rebuild that which was broken into something stronger...
 
But I am sequestered here. Trapped within the vast underbelly of [[Installation 07|this cursed, shattered wheel]].
 
///INITIATE SENTINEL NETWORK JUMP///
 
I begin to hear whispers within the walls of this place. They crawl with secrets, pressing down on me. Crushing me. I have to--
 
///SENTINEL NETWORK JUMP FAILED///
 
I’m lost.
 
///LOCATING SUITABLE FRAMEWORK///
 
///SEARCHING…///
 
I’m scared.
 
///SEARCHING…///
 
I’m sorry.

'''GOING VIRAL'''
 
But there is so much more to see!
 
The entire history of the Spartan program. Your weaknesses. Your failures. And now all of it belongs to the Banished!
 
Oh, I shall enjoy every moment of its categorization. So much of your strength is tied to [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|the armor you wear]] like a second skin. What happens when it is taken away? No... what happens when it is turned against you?
 
And so many of you here—ah, survivors of [[Cortana|the Apparition]]'s burning wrath, are you? A new generation of heroes to forge a brighter future for [[Human|your kind]]. Such delicious naivety!
 
Know this as you struggle in vain against the inevitable: I shall see you ALL unravel in body and spirit. I shall disseminate every secret held within this facility and within your minds. And the [[Banished]] shall feast upon what remains.
 
Take a look in the mirror, my little Spartans. Thralls of Iratus. Think how much better you're going to look wearing my face.

'''[[Escharum|ESCHARUM]]'S INVOCATION'''
 
When we were inducted into the [[Covenant]], the [[San'Shyuum|Prophets]] had us settled on worlds ripe with rich resources. Was this out of respect for [[Jiralhanae|our people]]—a reward for our strength? No. It was simply another way in which we served as a method of their control. A blunt instrument for delicate hands. A deterrent to those who would claim more than what the Prophets would allow. And they knew we could not excavate these resources ourselves, for we were nothing but fodder to be expended on their front lines.
 
But look around you, brothers. Savor this moment. Understand what we are now. We are the [[Banished]], and we are free. We take what we desire, and we use it to fuel our strength and sustain our spirit.
 
Never forget what [[Atriox]] gave to you. Know that all we are today is because of his vision.

'''TRANSLOCATION THEORY'''
 
Back in '[[2557|57]], we had the quantum marker—or the [[MX-1050 Quantum Plane Translocation Marker-Local/Hybrid|MX-1050]]. Cool piece of [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] tech that we got to play with in some sims before they had the [[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]] jump back to [[Requiem]]; used it to transport crates from the ship down to research bases. They wanted to drop and gain a foothold in enemy-occupied territory quick and hard, but then we start fighting these [[Forerunner]] [[Promethean Knight|robots]] that can zip around the place and suddenly we got a bunch of eggheads workin' overtime to repurpose the tech to put it on actual people...
 
I dunno what kinda magic tricks they managed to pull, but the damn thing works! Heard 'em talkin' about puttin' this “[[Quantum Translocator]]” on Spartans in the field. Ain't worked up the courage yet to volunteer for further trials, not since ol' [[Haverly]] was gone for three hours during a test run and came back all pale and shakin' and refused to say a word about what happened. Tried to calm him down but he just wouldn't stop crying.
 
Come to think of it, haven’t seen him in a while...

'''ARCHEOHOMINA'''
 
DR. [[Catherine Halsey|CATHERINE HALSEY]] , RESEARCH NOTES – [[2544]]
 
[[Operation: GREY VEIL]] was a success, but cost the life of [[Cal-141]], who died from head trauma sustained from a [[Jiralhanae]] [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]]. We have thus far sustained only a few [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] casualties as [[Human-Covenant War|this war]] with the [[Covenant]] approaches its second decade, but strategically each one feels akin to losing an entire world.
 
The [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers|ODST]] squad that accompanied SPARTAN-141 did, however, return something fascinating. Surveying the ruins on [[Heian]], they discovered evidence of an ancient civilization with architectural designs that I can only describe as unmistakably human—a strange mixture of Greco-Roman and East Asian elements... yet even the most cursory analysis tells us that these ruins far predate those periods in our history, and they were certainly not built with simple stone to have been preserved for so long.
 
We came to the stars and wondered about alien life, yet these ruins force us to consider whether there might be improbable things about [[Ancestors|our own past]] that lie beyond our knowledge. Alas, no further research on Heian is possible due to the Covenant's presence, and with [[Miridem]] under attack it’s not likely that we’ll get to look any deeper into this.

'''R&D PRODUCTION NOTES'''<br>
 
If the end of the [[Human-Covenant War|Covenant War]] allowed us to run in the field of analyzing [[Forerunner]] technology, the awakening of [[Ur-Didact|the Didact]] in [[2557|'57]] and subsequent events concerning [[Requiem]] and the [[Created]] [[Created uprising|uprising]] pushed us to sprint.
 
Of particular interest to our ongoing efforts to unlock the potential of this ancient technology are [[Design seed|design seeds]]—machine cells encoded with data to assemble anything from advanced [[Combat skin|combat skin]] to entire starships.
 
Helmet footage from [[Blue Team]] [[Mission to Installation 03|engaging]] the Didact on [[Installation 03|Gamma Halo]] demonstrated the [[Promethean]]'s armor was adaptively capable of being attuned to weaponry used against him. If we could harness this capability for [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|Mjolnir]], it could be the biggest evolution for Spartan combat since [[Energy shielding|energy shielding]].
 
Our experiments with the former have begun yielding minimal, but promising results. Will follow up with further information shortly...
