''A [[prowler]] uncloaks and approaches a hangar on the ''[[UNSC Infinity|Infinity]]'', where [[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]], [[Commander]] [[Sarah Palmer|Palmer]], and [[SPARTAN-IV Program|Spartan-IVs]] [[Madsen]] and [[Paul DeMarco|DeMarco]] are waiting.

*'''Roland (COM)''': "Captain Lasky, the captain of ''[[UNSC Aladdin|Aladdin]]'' requests permission to bring the [[Catherine Halsey|prisoner]] aboard."

*'''Palmer''': ''(turning to Captain Lasky)'' "Last chance to change your mind."

*'''Lasky''': "It's too late for that, Sarah. We need to know what's going on."

*'''Palmer''': ''(irritated)'' "She was locked up for a reason."

*'''Lasky''': "Permission granted, Roland."

''The prowler lands and four Marines escort Dr. Halsey before transferring her into the Spartans' custody.''

*'''Lasky''': "Dr. Halsey, thank you for coming."

''Dr. Halsey shows her restraints.''

*'''Halsey''': "I'm not walking around the ship ''I'' built with my hands cuffed."

''Lasky nods and Madsen removes the restraints on Dr. Halsey.''

*'''Halsey''': "Show me [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|the artifact]]." 

{{Center|'''HALO: INFINITY'''}}

''The group walks toward the artifact in a dimly lit room.''

*'''Halsey''': "Rather dark for a proper investigation."

*'''Lasky''': "Random fluctuations all over the ship, doctor. Power still completely out at ground zero. I'll get additional lighting set up ASAP."

*'''Halsey''': "That would be good. Have there been any other reactions since..."

*'''Lasky''': "Since what happened to [[Henry Glassman|Dr. Glassman]]? No."

*'''Halsey''': "I see."

''Dr. Halsey approaches the artifact and tries to touch it.''

*'''Lasky''': "Careful."

*'''Halsey''': ''(turning around)'' "I'm ''not'' Henry Glassman, Captain"

*'''Lasky''': ''(turning to face Commander Palmer)'' "Trust me, Doctor, I know who you are."

*'''Halsey''': "Yes, and I see you've decided I rate three of the [[Spartan-IV|new model]]."

*'''DeMarco''': "Captain Lasky asked for the best."

*'''Halsey''': ''(disdainfully)'' "And yet..."

''Dr. Halsey touches the artifact and it lights up.''

*'''Lasky''': "What is it, Doctor?"

*'''Halsey''': "Engine room."

''The group leaves the room. Cuts to a shot of the [[tram|high-speed tram]] car the group is on, then to a shot of Dr. Halsey, then of the others.''

*'''DeMarco''': ''(talking to Madsen)'' "Why do they have ''us'' guarding some old lady?"

*'''Madsen''': "She's bad news man. Mad scientist stuff. She created the [[SPARTAN-II Program|original Spartans]]; [[John-117|Master Chief]]?"

*'''DeMarco''': "No way."

*'''Madsen''': "Yeah. Story goes, she kidnapped a bunch of kids."

*'''DeMarco''': "What? What would an old lady like her do with kids?"

''Madsen tries to answer the question before noticing Dr. Halsey looking at them.''

*'''Halsey''': "First, we taught them how to be silent."

''She then turns to face Palmer.''

*'''Halsey''': "Then we taught them how to be Spartans."

''A shot of the engine room.''

*'''Lasky''': "Roland?"

*'''Roland''': "Engine room's on lockdown, captain. All systems operating nominally."

''The group walks in and Dr. Halsey starts tinkering with the systems.''

*'''Roland''': "You know captain, I ''can'' fly ''Infinity'' without human aid."

*'''Lasky''': "Don't worry, Roland. We'll take her off your hands again very shortly."

*'''Palmer''': "And now we're letting the [[war criminal]] touch things."

*'''Lasky''': "I can type for her, if that'd make you feel better."

*'''Palmer''': "It would help."

*'''Lasky''': "She installed these engines. No one in the [[UNSC]] understands them as well as she does."

''Dr. Halsey continues to tinker with the systems and a pulse runs through the room. The Spartans raise their weapons on Dr. Halsey.''

*'''Palmer''': "Hey!"

''Dr. Halsey turns around to face Commander Palmer. Palmer walks forward then orders the Spartans to lower their weapons.''

*'''Halsey''': "The artifact, [[Forerunner]], is talking to your engines, also Forerunner. But it is also communicating with these other systems as well."

*'''Lasky''': "Health systems, some electrical, lower deck life support."

*'''Palmer''': "Only the engines are Forerunner tech. The rest is human."

''The computer screen indicates where the signal is transmitting to and places a marker.''

*'''Halsey''': "Indeed, but the artifact is reaching out to them. And ''it'' and your engines are transmitting..."

*'''Lasky''': "To [[Requiem]]."

*'''Halsey''': "You came here to study the planet. Instead, ''something'' on the planet is studying you."

''A closeup shot of the marker, which fades to a structure inside a Forerunner building. Multiple [[Sangheili]] are walking around, carrying weapons and equipment while [[Gek]] gives orders.''

Note: All dialogue spoken by the Elites are in Sangheili and translated into English.

*'''Gek 'Lhar''': "Faster! Move as if the [[Ur-Didact|Didact]] himself were watching!"

''Gek turns around to see Jul 'Mdama and immediately kneels before him.''

*'''Gek 'Lhar''': "Jul 'Mdama! I did not expect [[Jul 'Mdama|the Didact's Hand]] so soon."

*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s arrival has advanced my schedule. Rise, Gek."

''Gek stands back up.''

*'''Gek 'Lhar''': "We are still preparing, [[Shipmaster]]- we still have yet to be able to activate the shrine."

''A shot of Jul 'Mdama and Gek standing in front of the structure.''

*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "You are prepared now, brother."

''They turn around.''

*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "Bring the artifact's gift!"

''Two Sangheili bring a human prisoner before Jul 'Mdama and Gek.  It's Dr. Henry Glassman. The Elites roughly shove Glassman to his knees.''

*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "He offers his knowledge in exchange for his life."

''He looks down at Glassman.''

*'''Jul 'Mdama''': "I am willing to accept his offer...for a time."

''Cuts to a shot of Dr. Glassman looking around, worried. Cuts to black.''
