==Transcript==

*'''Locke''': "Understood, doctor. We're on our way."

====Speaking with Halsey====

=====Singing Unggoy=====

*'''Locke:''' "Interesting song."

=====Unggoy Reports=====

''An Unggoy walks around camp and randomly announces updates, whether it be camp-related or about Halsey, to a Sangheili who is working on a datapad. The Sangheili, in turn, responds in brief replies to the Unggoy.''

*'''Unggoy Messenger:''' "Covenant forces are holding position in Sunaion."

*'''Unggoy Messenger:''' "I think someone stole science human's arm."

*'''Sangheili Officer on Datapad:''' "Understood."

=====Arbiter at the Camp=====

''Arbiter Thel 'Vadam is speaking to two other Sangheili Officers at the center of the camp.''

*'''Sangheili Officer #1:''' "Our systems have been compromised."

*'''Thel 'Vadam:''' "By the Human AI, not the Covenant."

*'''Thel 'Vadam:''' "We fight one enemy at a time. Today, the Covenant."

*'''Sangheili Officer #1:''' "Our airstrikes will drive them out of hiding and into our ground troops."

*'''Sangheili Officer #2:''' "We clear and hold the indicated zones. We have sufficient military strength to handle the Covenant defenses."

*'''Thel 'Vadam:''' "If the human plan holds, they will awaken the Guardian. And then Sunaion is ours."

*'''Sangheili Officer #2:''' "Arbiter, you know I do not follow the old ways, but to allow a human to awaken the Guardian?"

*'''Thel 'Vadam:''' "That discomfort you feel, that betrayal… I am depending on it."

=====Cliffside Sangheili conversing=====

''Two Sangheili are holding position near a cliff.''

*'''Sangheili #1:''' "Jul 'Mdama. Thel' Vadam. They're all the same: nothing more than power-hungry despots."

=====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:''' "Making any wound a death blow. ''Barbaric''."

*'''Sangheili #3:''' "Indeed. Had I ever met Jul 'Mdama, I would have gutted him with my bare claws."

''A Sangheili medic is trying to tend to a wounded one lying on a table.''

*'''Wounded Sangheili:''' "Do not touch me you honorless filth! Had the Arbiter not ordered me here, I---"

*'''Medic Sangheili:''' "We can ill afford to lose warriors, even those as inconsequential as yourself."

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

*'''Wounded Sangheili:''' "There is no honor in dying in a tent, medic. A Sangheili must fall in battle!"

*'''Medic Sangheili:''' "There is no battlefield harsher than a medic tent."

*'''Wounded Sangheili:''' "Are you mad?! You know nothing of combat!"

*'''Wounded Sangheili:''' "I fear no enemy. Not even death!"

*'''Medic Sangheili:''' "Yes. That is what they always say."

=====Sangheili repairing a Banshee=====

''Two Sangheili are holding position near a cliff. Fireteam Osiris can join in on the converation, resulting in different comments and different responses depending on which Spartan speaks.''

*'''Sangheili #1:''' "The Banshee remains inoperative. I do not yet understand why."

=====Osiris Banter=====

*'''Vale:''' "The Master Chief worked with Cortana for a while, right?"

*'''Locke:''' "Yes. He considered her a close friend."

*'''Locke:''' "Unusual, but not unheard of."

*'''Vale:''' "Locke, I was reading the Blue Team file you assembled. I knew the rumors about the original Spartans. The kidnappings, the conscriptions. I never wanted to believe it."

*'''Buck:''' "Lesson I learned about history a long time ago, it's full of things you don't want to believe."

*'''Tanaka:''' "And getting fuller of them all the time."

*'''Buck:''' "I thought Sanghelios would be… different."

*'''Vale:''' "You’d be surprised how much we have in-common with the Sangheili. For instance, they place huge importance on family and honour. What could be more human than that?"

*'''Vale:''' "I meant to ask, Buck: Did you get any word to [[Veronica Dare|Veronica]] before we left?"

*'''Buck:''' "Yeah, but she’s working so I don’t expect she’ll hear my call for a few weeks."

*'''Buck:''' "Works fine, times we’re both in the same place make up for the times we’re not."

*'''Dimkee Hotay''': "One night, I was sneaking around in this ship—I mean I-I was walking, right… just regular walking! But this one Sangheili saw me and he got mad, and started yelling about how there's no honor in being a sneaker. Ahh, you know how they are with their honor. It's always honor this and honor that. Have an honor! Take an honor. Do a big honor, hehehe yeah… I forget, what was I talking about?"

*'''Dimkee Hotay''': "So, here is a big question: do [[human]]s make eggs? True or the other one? I know you give up, so I'll tell you. I don't… remember, actually. But, it was a question we had to know. Another one was "what kinds of things humans breathe?" Not waters! You put them in waters, then forget about it. Heh, they get real quiet after breathing waters."

*'''Dimkee Hotay''': "[[Doisac]]. Doisac. Doooiisac. Doi-sac. Planet of the [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] everybody! Coulda' named it anything, they could have! But they named it Doisac. Doisac!"

*'''Dimkee Hotay''': "Hey, you wanna do secret telling? Because I got one that makes me very regretted and inside my memories. This once, I was in a very danger place. We had a bunch of other Unggoy, like maybe twenty or fifty of them… I forget, but it was a lot. And things were gettin' more and more dangerous and there was maybe gonna be an exploding soon… I don't know. So we had to escape in a ship before night time, but I do remember that the ship was real tinny smallest and could only do seats for one Unggoy. Only one. There wasn't room for nobody else, nope! And I told everybody! So along the way to the ship, everybody was doin' so much fightin' because not enough seats and some Unggoys was killin' others, or doin' cries, or bein' bravers and makin' heroic sacrifices. Ah, it was so very emotional. And then, there was only me. The last Unggoy alive and I finally got to the ship and it was huge. Huge! You'd have to be crazys to think there was no seats! But anyway, that's my regretted memory. Did I say regretted? I meant proudest. I brought in some piles of rocks just for company and had so much fun in that big ol' ship."

*'''Dimkee Hotay''': "You wanna know what I was thinking about, I mean, just now? Back when I was servin' the Covenant and you're gonna say "Servin' them what?" and I'm gonna say "Breakfast!" and boy haha, are we gonna laugh! But back, uh, back when I remembered what I was talkin' about? Ahh, back then was good times."

*'''Dimkee Hotay''': "You know, you don't talk much. Are you just doin' the Sangheili brain-thing? "Keep breathing, very honorable to be breathing and tall and makin' yells at everybody." Are you thinkin' that? Or are you just bein' quiet?"

*'''Dimkee Hotay''': "So last night, instead of sleepin', me and the other Unggoy was up talkin' about battles. And my buddy Gripple was sayin' all about how he shot at a [[Spartan]] human once. No kiddin', I mean I'm serious. And it was an amazing story. It was the kind of story that makes you proud to do a war. Even though we don't do wars with humans no more because the [[Arbiter]] said not to, right. Ah, it was so amazing. We forgot that we'd been told to be asleep, I'm serious, like eight times already! But everybody was yellin' so I started yellin' too, and you know how it feels to yell real loud about somethin', I mean ''real'' loud?"

*'''Dimkee Hotay''': "Unggoy should get more honors. We do all the dangerous jobs, even though you have to be really tough and not cry when you do them. Trust me, because I heard… uhhh… from a friend, that if you have [[active camouflage]] on and do a crys, it makes a big sizzle sound and everybody can see me hidin' in the corner. And the mean [[Kig-Yar]] in charge of the recruits gets all shouty and gives me hard little bites—ah, my legs! So yeah, super dangerous. There is all kinds of honor in dangerous stuff."

====Regrouping with Palmer====

If a player jumps off the edge of one of the cliffs and falls to their death, their corpse will go through the rocky sides of the cliff and disappear.

*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.

*There is a piece of rock in the cliffs of the level that resembles a human face. It can be seen above the Arbiter to the right of the singing Grunt.
