==Halo: Combat Evolved==


== [[Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]] ==
*"I think we both know the answer to that." - To [[Captain Keyes]], level [[The Pillar of Autumn (Level)|Pillar of Autumn]].
*"Get here first? The [[Covenant]] ships have always been faster. As for tracking us all the way from [[Reach]], at light speed, my maneuvering options were limited." - To [[Captain Keyes]]. 
*"Until we decelerated. No one could have missed the hole we tore in subspace. [[Covenant|They]] were waiting for us on the far side of the planet." 
*"Our fighters are mopping up the last of their recon picket now, nothing serious. But, I've isolated approach signatures from multiple [[CCS]]-class battle groups, make it 3 capital ships per group. And in about 90 seconds they'll be all over us."
*"I've already begun." - When [[Captain Keyes]] told her to "giving their old friends a warm welcome."
*"Attention: All combat personnel, please report to your action stations." - By COM.
*"[[Fifth Platoon|5th]] platoon, secure airlocks on Deck 11. [[Fourteenth Platoon|14th]] platoon, rendezvous with 22nd tactical at bulkhead Charlie 14." - By COM.
*"This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill." - By COM.
*"Attention all personnel: We are reengaging the enemy. Internal and external contact imminent." - By COM.
*"Fire teams, report to defensive positions Alpha through Sierra: Sensors show inbound [[Covenant]] boarding craft. Stand by to repel boarders." - By COM.
*"A dozen [[Covenant]] superior battleships against a single [[Halcyon-class Cruiser]]. Given those odds I'm content with three ... make that four kills." - When [[Master Chief]] appears on the [[Pillar of Autumn]]'s bridge. 
*"Sleep well?" - To [[Master Chief]].
*"So, you did miss me." - To [[Master Chief]], smiling mischievously.
*"It must have been one of their boarding parties! I'd guess an Anti-Matter Charge!" 
*"[[Captain Keyes|Captain]], the cannon was my last offensive option!" - When Fire Control Officer informed her, that main cannon is offline. 
*"While you do what, go down with the ship?" - When [[Captain Keyes]] ordered to abandon the [[Pillar of Autumn]].
*"With all due respect, Sir, this war has enough dead heroes." - To [[Captain Keyes]].
*"Aye aye, Sir." - When [[Captain Keyes]] gave her orders to lock in a selection of emergency landing zones, upload them to his neural lace, and sort herself for a hard transfer.
*"The [[Pillar of Autumn|Autumn]] will continue evasive maneuvers until you initiate a landing sequence. Not that you'll listen, but I'd suggest letting my subroutines handle the final approach." - To [[Captain Keyes]].
*"...Yank me." 
*"Hmm... Your architecture isn't much different from the [[Pillar of Autumn|Autumn]]'s..." - When [[Master Chief]]slided [[Cortana]]'s chip in his helmet. 
*"What the hell are you doing!?! Security to the bridge, the [[Master Chief]] has gone rampant. Take him down, boys." - If you shot [[Captain Keyes]] or anyone from the bridge.
*"Those [[Marines]] could use some help, [[Master Chief|Chief]]! Do what you do best!" - In the mess hall.
*"Keep your head down, there's two of us in here now, remember?!" - When [[Master Chief]] lost some life bars.
*"They're using our lifeboat airlocks to attach their boarding craft...we go out and they come in. Clever bastards..." 
*"Covenant! On the landing above us!" 
*"The lifepods are launching. We should hurry." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"The [[Covenant]] are destroying the lifepods...they really don't want us on that ring.  Warning... blast doors closing! We have to use the ship's maintenance access ways. Follow the navpoint, it will lead you to an opening."  - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"I'm detecting [[Covenant]] movement outside the access ways. Activating [[motion tracker]]. Let's find a safe exit." - To the [[Master Chief]] in the [[Pillar of Autumn]]'s tunnels.
*"We're too close. We need to find another route. [[Motion tracker]] shows all clear." 
*"Wait... we need to get through that door, but it's been damaged by an explosion. Analyzing... The door's control mechanism is offline, but it's taken a lot of damage. You should be able to bash it open with the butt of your weapon." - After the [[Master Chief]] got out from the tunnels.
*"It looks like the [[Covenant]] wanted to catch [[Master Chief|you]] napping." - About [[Elites]] in Cryo 2.
*"The damage to the superstructure is extensive...I don't know how much more abuse the [[Pillar of Autumn|Autumn]] can take!" - In the damaged part of the ship.
*"There's one last lifeboat! Quickly, get aboard before it launches!" 
*"Now would be a very good time to leave!" - When the [[Master Chief]] got into the [[Bumblebee]].
*"Sure you wouldn't rather take a seat?" - To the [[Master Chief]], in [[Bumblebee]].
*"If I had fingers, they'd be crossed..." - When the [[Bumblebee]] hit [[Halo]]'s atmosphere.

== [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]] ==
*"We're coming in too fast!" - To the [[Bumblebee]] Pilot, the beginning of level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]].
*"[[Master Chief|Chief]]! [[Master Chief|Chief]]! Can you hear me? At last! Are you alright? Can you move? The others...the impact.... There's nothing we can do." - After the [[Bumblebee]] crashed, and all of the [[Marines]], except [[Master Chief]], died.  
*Warning! I've detected multiple [[Spirit|Covenant Dropships]] on approach. I recommend moving into those hills. If we're lucky, the [[Covenant]] will believe that everyone aboard this lifeboat died in the crash." 
*"I'm reading thousands of types of flora. The [[Alpha Halo|ring]]'s ecosystem is incredibly sophisticated." - When the [[Master Chief]] explored the area.
*"Alert! [[Spirit|Covenant dropship]] inbound! They must be looking for survivors. I recommend immediate evasion."
*"Warning! The [[Spirit|Covenant Dropship]] has detected us, here they come."
*"I'm reading a [[lifeboat]] beacon over the next hill. We should check to see if there are any survivors." - Near the second crashed [[lifeboat]].
*"Don't worry, [[Sergeant]]. We'll stay here until evac arrives." - To [[Avery Junior Johnson]]. 
*"Roger, [[Echo 419]]. This is Fire Team Charlie. We read you. Is that you, [[Foe Hammer]]? - To [[Carol Rawley]], radio message.
*"[[Foe Hammer]], we need transportation to the [[Command Shuttle]].
*"Look, more [[lifeboat]]s! They're coming in fast. If those [[lifeboat]]s make it down, the [[Covenant]] are going to be right on top of them. - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"Foe Hammer, we need you to disengage your [[Warthog]]. The [[Master Chief]] and I are going to see if we can save some soldiers."
*"Roger, [[Foe Hammer]]. Stand by to evac survivors and transport them to safety." - After [[Foe Hammer]] dropped a [[Warthog]].
*"The [[Master Chief]] and I need some backup, can you spare a few men?" - Whem the [[Master Chief]] is waiting, in or near the [[Warthog]].
*"We need that [[Warthog]], if we want to get to the other [[lifeboat]]s in time." - If you ignore the [[Warthog]].
*"This cave is not a natural formation. Someone built it, so it must lead somewhere. I've hacked into the [[Covenant]] [[Battlenet]]. They're actually broadcasting tactical data on unencrypted channels. We should show them who they're dealing with. [[Master Chief]]? I'm going to use your [[MJOLNIR|suit]]'s transponder system to monitor their chatter." - In the cave structure in the [[Alpha Halo|Halo]]'s surface.
*"There must be some mechanism to cross this cavern. Look for a control panel or switch." - In big cave with offline energy bridge.
*"New traffic on the [[Covenant]] [[Battlenet]]...a lot more crew made it off the [[Pillar of Autumn|Autumn]] than I had predicted - the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]] really gave them hell! If we can find [[Captain Keyes]] and other survivors, we have a chance to coordinate an effective resistance."
*"Survivors detected. The [[Marines]] are concealed in those rocks." - In the rock - slide area.
*"We read you, [[Echo 419]]. We have survivors and need immediate dust-off." - Rock - slide area.
*"Acknowledged. We're on our way." - To [[Carol Rawley]].
*"We need to find the other two lifeboats." - If the [[Master Chief]] is too slow.
*"There are some [[Marines]] hiding in the hills above the structure!" - In the river head crash site.
*"I'll call in a [[dropship]] to pick them up." 
* "Affirmative, [[Foe Hammer]]. We're ready for dustoff. Approach when ready. We're going to look for the last [[lifeboat]], [[Echo 419]]. Good luck." 
*"Warning. I've picked up reports that the [[Covenant]] have located and secured the [[Pillar of Autumn]]'s crash site. The good news is the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]'s still alive. The bad news is that the [[Covenant]] have captured the entire surviving command crew. Let's hurry and find the final [[lifeboat]], so we can link up with the rest of the survivors." - When the [[Master Chief]] is near the river.
*"[[Lifeboat]] detected. No sign of survivors." - When the fourth [[lifeboat]] is found.
*"Maybe they took cover in that structure. Let's check it out." - In the cliff edge crash site.
*"We should search the interior of those structures before we leave."
*"I've called for evac." - When the [[Master Chief]] finds the last group pf survivors.
*"New traffic on the [[Covenant]] [[Battlenet]]! I've found [[Captain Keyes]]! He's being held on a [[Covenant]] cruiser, the [[Truth and Reconciliation]], a ship I disabled before we abandoned the [[The Pillar of Autumn|Autumn]]. The [[Truth and Reconciliation]] touched down on a desert plateau roughly three hundred kilometers upspin." 
*"There's our ride. Get aboard, and let's get out of here." - When [[Foe Hammer]] approaches.
*"We should move out, [[Lieutenant]]. And then we'll need your help on our rescue mission." - At the end of level [[Halo (Halo: Combat Evolved Level)|Halo]].

== [[Truth and Reconciliation (Level)|Truth and Reconciliation]] ==
*"The enemy has captured [[Captain Keyes]], and are holding him aboard one of their cruisers, the [[Truth and Reconciliation]]. The ship is currently holding position approximately three hundred meters above the other end of this plateau." - Over the radio, the begnning of the level [[Truth and Reconciliation (Level)|Truth and Reconciliation]].
*"Once we get inside the [[Truth and Reconciliation|ship]], I should be able to lock on to the tracking signal from [[Captain Keyes]]' neural implants." 
*"Stick to the higher ground on the right. We should be able to recon the [[Covenant]] position without being spotted. I'm detecting [[Covenant]] [[Shade|stationary guns]] near the next pass. I recommend using your [[Sniper Rifle]] to take out the gunners while I call for [[Marine]] support." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"Get ready to move in to support us, [[Sergeant]]. The [[Master Chief]] is going to covertly take out as many of the [[Covenant]] as he can. Don't open fire until you hear the enemy return fire on us. That should let us keep the element of surprise." - Over the radio.
*"Alert! A [[Covenant]] is making a run for that [[Shade|stationary gun.]] Take him out!" - If a [[Grunt]] is running to a [[Shade]].
*"Stop. [[Motion Tracker]] shows movement around the next bend." - After the first fight with the [[Covenant]].
*"[[Covenant]] forces detected up ahead. The path up on the left should let us sneak up around them." - Over the radio.
*"[[Cortana]] to [[Fire Team Charlie]]. The [[Master Chief|Chief]] has the left flank covered. Recommend you move up the middle." - If the [[Master Chief]] takes the left flank.
*"[[Cortana]] to [[Fire Team Charlie]]. The [[Master Chief|Chief]] has secured the middle. Get ready to move up the left, you should be able to flank the enemy." - If the [[Master Chief]] moves to the middle.
*"Alert! [[Covenant]] [[Spirit|Dropships]] are inbound!" - When [[Covenant]] reinforcements approaching.
*"We're directly under the ship now." - Over the radio.
*"The [[Covenant]] use a [[Gravity Lift]] to ferry troops and supplies between the ship and the surface. We need to ambush them at the loading zone, and use the lift to enter the ship."
*"[[Cortana]] to [[Echo 419]], requesting reinforcements from our position." - When the reinforcements are needed.
*"Alert! [[Covenant]] [[Spirit|Dropships]] are inbound!" - When [[Covenant]] reinforcements approaching in the [[Gravity Lift]] area.
*"[[Cortana]] to [[Echo 419]]. We've reached the [[Gravity Lift]] and are ready for reinforcements." - When the reinforcements are needed after defeating the pair of [[Hunters]].
*"Once we're inside the ship, I can home in on the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]'s command-neural interface. He'll probably be in or near the ship's brig, which should narrow our search." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"We're in. I've got a good lock on the Captain's [[Command Neural Interface|CNI transponder]]. No [[Covenant]] defenses detected." - On the [[Truth and Reconciliation]] board.
*"We can use the side passages to find a way around." - O.S., at the locked blast doors.
*"[[Master Chief|Chief]], let's see if we can find a way to open this door." 
*"Wait. That's the locked door down there. The [[Marines]] are waiting on the other side. The controls to open it must be somewhere in this room." - In the large hangar.
*"We should get moving." - When the [[Master Chief]] opens the door.
*"[[Cortana]] to [[Echo 419]] Requesting reinforcements at our position." - If reinforcements are needed.
*"Lock onto my signal and approach fast and low. There's a shuttle bay on the ship's starboard side." -  To [[Foe Hammer]].
*"Wait a moment. I'm going to access the [[Covenant]] [[Battlenet]] and locate an override code to open a door." - O.S., in the shuttle bay. 
*"Working on it." - O.S., about openning the door in the shuttle bay.
*"I'd like to see YOU crack a 128,000-bit modulating encryption key." - About opening the door, to the [[Master Chief]]. 
*"Got it. The door is open. Everyone should move through now. I can't guarantee that it won't lock again when it closes."
*"I'm going to call for reinforcements. There's no sense going in with anything less than full strength." - When the reinforcements are needed after a fight in the shuttle bay.
*"[[Cortana]] to [[Foe Hammer]]. We need additional support troops. We're going to open the shuttle bay door again. Move in and drop off reserve troops on my signal." - O.S.
*"This looks like the ship's command center. The [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]'s transponder signal is strong, he must be close." - After defeating the [[Covenant]] on the bridge.
*"We must be in the brig. These look like holding cells. There are probably multiple detention stations. The [[Captain Keyes|Captain]] must be in one of them. We need to keep looking for him." - In the first brig.
*"One moment, sir. Accessing [[Covenant]] [[Battlenet]]. According to the data in their networks, the [[Halo|ring]] has some kind of deep religious significance. If I'm analyzing this correctly...they believe that [[Halo]] is some kind of weapon. One with vast, unimaginable power." - After [[Captain Keyes]] and the [[Marines]] were set free.
*"Now I see...I have intercepted a number of messages about a [[Covenant]] search team, scouting for a "[[Control Room]]". I thought they were looking for the bridge of a cruiser I damaged in the battle above the [[Halo|ring]]. But they must be looking for [[Halo]]'s control room." 
*"We made it! [[Cortana]] to [[Echo 419]]. We have the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]] and need extraction on the double." 
*"Acknowledged, [[Foe Hammer]]. [[Cortana]] out. Air support is cut off, [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]. We need to hold here until she can move in." - When [[Foe Hammer]] was not able to pick up the [[Master Chief]], the [[Captain Keyes]] and the other [[Marine]]s.
*"Yes, [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]. There's a [[Spirit|Covenant dropship]] still docked." - When [[Captain Keyes]] offered to escape by [[Spirit]].
*"That's it, the [[Spirit|dropship]] is loose."
*"Give me a minute to interface with the ship's controls."
*"[[Captain Keyes|Captain]]! [[Hunters]]!" - When the pair of [[Hunters]] appeared.
*"No! Without the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]... the [[Covenant]] have already won..." - If [[Captain Keyes]] is killed. 
*"No! We lost the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]..." - If [[Captain Keyes]] is killed.

== [[The Silent Cartographer (Level)|The Silent Cartographer]] ==
*"The [[Covenant]] believe that what they call "[[The Silent Cartographer]]," is somewhere under this island. The [[The Silent Cartographer|Cartographer]] is a map room that will lead us to [[Halo]]'s [[Control Center]]. The island has multiple structures and installations and one of them contains the [[The Silent Cartographer|map room]]."
*"Area's secure." - When the beach is cleared out of hostiles.
*"Okay. Let's move out. Let's go find the [[The Silent Cartographer|map room]] that will show us the location of [[Halo]]'s [[Control Center]]." - When [[Foe Hammer]] drops a [[Warthog]].
*"There, in the cliff wall; I'll bet the [[Silent Cartographer]] is somewhere inside that facility." 
*"[[Covenant|They]]'re already inside! We need to get in there quick, before [[Covenant|they]] discover the location of [[Halo]]'s [[Control Center]]!" - On [[Heroic]] and [[Legendary]] difficulty. 
*"The [[Covenant]] are putting up a real fight! The [[Silent Cartographer|Cartographer]] must be here. My analysis indicates that the [[Silent Cartographer|map room]] should be at the bottom floor of this facility. Let's keep going inside. 
*"Don't let [[Covenant|them]] lock the doors!" - When fighting the [[Elites]] and [[Grunts]] guarding the door leading to the [[Silent Cartographer]].
*"Interesting. I underestimated the [[Covenant]]'s understanding of [[Halo]]'s subsystems. They've locked the doors, and we don't have enough firepower to get through them. [[Cortana]] to [[Captain Keyes]]."
*"Negative, [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]. The [[Covenant]] have impeded our progress. We can't proceed unless we can disable this installation's security system."
*"We need to find the security override to get this door open." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"It looks like there is a path leading to the interior of the island."
*"Well, there's the entrance to the security substation, but it looks like we'll have to look for another way up." - If you ignore the path and go the cliffs.   
*"This isn't the [[Silent Cartographer|map room]]. Analyzing... This is a Security Override Station for the main facility, located somewhere else on this island. Shut the system down so the [[Covenant]] won't be able to lock us out." - If you missed the faiclity with the [[Silent Cartographer]] and went straight to Security Station.
*"We should now have access to the main facility, let's find the [[Silent Cartographer|map room]]." - When you activate the Holo - panel in the Security Station, without beeing in the [[Silent Cartographer]] facility yet. 
*"Use the Holo - panel to shut down the security system. Good. That should open the door that leads into the main shaft." - When you activate the Holo - panel to open the door leading to the [[Silent Cartographer]].
*"Understood. We're on on our way." - When [[Pelican|Dropship]] [[Bravo 22]] cried out for help.  
*"[[Chief]], [[Bravo 22]] was bringing us some [[Rocket Launcher|heavy weapons]]. After I saw we were up against [[Hunters]], I thought you could use them. Let's move down the beach. Keep an eye out for any cargo we can salvage."
*"It'll be easier to hold them off from inside the structure. Can you get inside?" - In the [[Silent Cartographer]] faility, when [[Marines]] were attacked by the [[Covenant]] from the air.
*"Give 'em hell, [[Marine]]."
*"We'll be in a tight spot if we don't get out of here before additional reinforcements arrive. Let's find that [[Silent Cartographer|map]]." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"There. That Holo - panel should activate the [[Silent Cartographer|map]]." - When you reached the the [[Silent Cartographer]].
*"Analyzing. [[Halo]]'s [[Control Center]] is located there. That structure appears to be some sort of temple or shrine, if I've interpreted this correctly. Interesting. A shrine is an unlikely place to put such a significant [[Control Room|installation]]. [[Cortana]] to [[Captain Keyes]]." - When the Holo - panel was activated.
*"Keep trying. Let me know when you've reestablished contact, and then tell [[Jacob Keyes|him]] that the [[Master Chief]] and I have determined the location of the [[Control Center]]. We'll be heading there as soon as we're topside." - To [[Foe Hammer]].
*"[[Cortana]] to [[Echo 419]]. The [[Master Chief|Chief]] and I are topside, requesting pickup." - To [[Foe Hammer]], when the [[Master Chief]] was leaving the [[Silent Cartographer]] facility.
*"Let's get moving. [[Foe Hammer]]. Here are coordinates and a flight plan I've worked out."
*"The [[Covenant]] did a thorough seismic scan. My analysis shows that [[Halo]] is honeycombed with deep tunnels, which circle the whole [[Halo|ring]]." - When [[Foe Hammer]] brought to [[Cortana]]'s attention, that the coordinates lead to the underground.  
*"Look on the bright side, [[Foe Hammer]]. The last thing the [[Covenant]] will expect is an aerial insertion...from underground."

== [[Assault on the Control Room]] ==
*"Roger that, we can find our way to the [[Control Center]] from here." - To the [[Foe Hammer]].
*"The [[Covenant]] presence here is stronger than I anticipated. They seem to have the entire region secured." - In the first of the circular room.
*"Interesting... the weather patterns here seem natural, not artificial. I wonder if the [[Halo|ring]]'s environment systems are malfunctioning... or if the [[Forerunners|designers]] wanted the [[Halo|installation]] to have inclement weather." - On the first bridge.
*"I didn't think there were any [[human]] forces left on this part of the ring.... [[Cortana]] to [[Fire Team Zulu]], I read you. [[Fire Team Zulu]], this is [[Cortana]]. Hold position. We're on our way."  
*"Negative, team. No evac available at this time. But the [[Master Chief|Chief]] and [[Cortana|I]] could use some assistance." - In response to terrified [[Marine]].
*"The [[Covenant]] placed their [[Wraith|tanks]] to defend the entrance to the tunnel."
*"I thought the [[Covenant]] had eliminated all the [[Marine]] forces in this area." - Over the frozen lake.
*"We need to get up this ridge." [[Marines]], hold your positions. We'll handle those [[Shade|guns]]. [[Master Chief]], we should scale the ridge and get below those [[Shade|stationary guns]]." - Near the entrance to the tunnels. 
*"[[Fire Team Zulu]]. I've sent a distress signal tagged with your current position. Hold your position and await evac. The [[Master Chief]] and [[Cortana|I]] are going to continue on ahead." 
*"Resistance appears to be increasing. We must be close to the [[Control Center]]." - In the circular room, near the third chasm.
*"Analyzing. This must be the [[Control Room]]. Subtle. The entrance to the [[Control Room]] is at the top of that pyramid structure. Bring me up there and [[Cortana|I]] should be able to get us inside." 
*"Scanning. [[Covenant]] forces in the vicinity have been eliminated. Let's move on to [[Halo]]'s [[Control Room]]." - In the corridor leading to [[Control Room]].
*"This is it. [[Halo]]'s [[Control Center]]." - When the [[Master Chief]] entered the [[Control Room]].
*"That terminal, try there." - Briefing the [[Master Chief]], to put her chip into control panel.
*"Never been better...you can't imagine the wealth of information. Knowledge...so much...so fast. It's glorious!" - As her avatar appears in the control panel.
*"What are you talking about?" - When the [[Master Chief]] asked her, what sort of weapon [[Halo]] is.
*"This [[Halo|ring]] isn't a cudgel you barbarian, it's something else...something much more important. The [[Covenant]] were right...this [[Halo|ring]]...it's [[Forerunner]]. Give me a second to access... Yes, the [[Forerunners]] built this place, what they called a "fortress world," in order to... No, that can't be. Oh, those Covenant fools, they must have known, there must have been signs!" - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"The [[Covenant]] found something, buried in this [[Halo|ring]], something horrible, and now...they're afraid." 
*"The [[Captain Keyes|Captain]], we've got to stop the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]!"
*"The weapons caché [[Captain Keyes|he]]'s looking for. It's not really -.. We can't let him get inside!"
*"There's no time. Get out of here, find [[Captain Keyes|Keyes]], stop him! Before it's too late!" - The end of the level.

== [[Two Betrayals]] ==
*"Oh, really?!" - To [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]], after she stopped [[Halo]] form firing.
*"I've spent the last 12 hours cooped up in here, watching you toady about, helping [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|that thing]] get set to slit our throats!" - To the [[Master Chief]] in the [[Control Room]].
*"Oh? I didn't realize. He's your pal, is he? Your chum? Do you have any idea what that bastard almost made you do?!" - When the [[Master Chief]] told her, that [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]] is a friend.
*"You mean [[Index|this]]?" 
*"Sod off!" - To [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]].
*"You sure that's a good idea?" - Smiling ironically, when [[343 Guilty Spark]] wanted to purge her. 
*"Do what? I have the [[Index]]! You can just float and sputter!" - To [[343 Guilty Spark]].
*"You have no idea how this [[Halo|ring]] works, do you? Why the [[Forerunners]] built it? [[Halo]] doesn't kill [[Flood]], it kills their food. [[Humans]], [[Covenant]], whatever. We're all equally edible. The only way to stop the [[Flood]] is to starve them to death. And that's exactly what [[Halo]] is designed to do; wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life. You don't believe me? Ask [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|him]]." - Explaining to the [[Master Chief]] the [[Halo]]'s purpose.
*"Left out that little detail, did [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|he]]?" 
*"[[Master Chief|Chief]], I'm picking up movement!" - When the [[Sentinels]] were going to appear.
*"We need to go, right now." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"Get us out of here!" - From [[Master Chief]]'s helmet.
*"Look out!" - When the [[Sentinels]] started to attack the [[Master Chief]].
*"We can't let the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]] activate [[Halo]]. We have to stop [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|him]]. We have to destroy [[Halo]]. According to my analyses of the available data, I believe the best course of action is somewhat... risky. An explosion of sufficient size will help destabilize the [[Halo|ring]], and will cut through a number of primary systems. We need to trigger a detonation on a large scale, however. A star ship's fusion reactors going critical would do the job. I'm going to search what's left of the [[Covenant]] [[Battlenet]], and see if I can locate the [[Pillar of Autumn]]'s crash site. If the ship's fusion reactors are still relatively intact, we can use them to destroy [[Halo]]." - When the [[Master Chief]] is leaving the [[Control Room]]. 
*"I haven't located the crash site yet. We need to buy some time, in case the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]] or his [[Sentinels]] find a way to activate [[Halo]]'s final weapon without the [[Index]]. The machinery in these canyons are [[Halo]]'s primary firing mechanisms. They consist of three '''Phase Pulse Generators''' that amplify [[Halo]]'s signal, and allow it to fire deep into space. The power levels are enormous. I can't even begin to calculate the pulse's range. So, if we damage or destroy these generators, the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]] will need to repair them before [[Halo]] can be used. That should buy us some time. I'm marking the location of the nearest Pulse generator with a nav point. We need to move in and neutralize the device." - When the [[Master Chief]] is leaving the [[Control Room]] facility. 
*"Wait. We should commandeer one of those [[Banshee]]s; we'll need it to reach the pulse generator in time."
*"Good, let's get moving. The nav point marks our target." - When the [[Master Chief]] grabbed a [[Banshee]].
*"That's the pulse generator. The center core is the signal amplifier. That's what we need to shut down. We need to interrupt the pulse generator's energy stream. I've adjusted your [[Energy Shield|shield]] system so that it will deliver an EMP burst to disrupt the Generator. You will need to walk into the beam, to trigger it. The EMP blast should neutralize the generator. But it will also drain your [[Energy Shield|shields]], and you will be vulnerable until they recharge." 
*"Objective accomplished! The pulse generator has overloaded. Outstanding. The generator's central core is off line. Well done." - When the first pulse generator is destroyed.
*"The second pulse generator is located in the adjacent canyon. Move out, and I'll mark the target with a nav point when we get closer."
*"Head through that door. That's the way to the next canyon." - In the bridge structure.
*"OK. Lets take care of the next pulse generator." - In the canyon with the next pulse generator.
*"Wait! We haven't destroyed the pulse generator yet. Find a [[Banshee]], and fly it up to the location marked by the nav point." - When you're flying to the tunnel, without destroying the second generator.
*"That did it! The pulse generator overloaded. One more to go." - When the second pulse generator is destroyed.
*"I've located the [[Pillar of Autumn]]. She put down twelve-hundred kilometers upspin. Energy readings show her fusion reactors are still powered up. The systems on the [[Pillar of Autumn]] have fail safes that even [[Cortana|I]] can't override, without authorization from the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]. We'll need to find him or his neural implants, to start the fusion core detonation. One target remaining. Lets take care of the final pulse generator." - When the [[Master Chief]] is leaving the facility with the second pulse generator. 
*"That tunnel leads to the next section of canyon. The final pulse generator we need to destroy is through there." - In the tunnel with the [[Covenant]] fighting against the [[Flood]].
*"Final target neutralized. Lets get out of here." - When the third and final pulse generator is destroyed.
*"No, that'll take too long." - When the [[Master Chief]] is going to find a vehicle and get to the [[Captain Keyes]].
*"There's a teleportation grid that runs throughout [[Halo]]. That's how the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]] moves about so quickly. [[Cortana|I]] learned how to tap into the grid when I was in the [[Control Room]]. Unfortunately, each jump requires a rather consequential expenditure of energy."
*"But I'm pretty sure I can take the needed energy from your [[MJOLNIR|suit]] without permanently damaging your shields. Needless to say, I think we should only try this once." - About teleportation.

*"The [[Covenant]] network is in absolute chaos! From what I've been able to piece together, their leadership ordered all ships to abandon [[Halo]] when they found the [[Flood]], but they were too late. The [[Flood]] overwhelmed this cruiser and disabled it. The [[Covenant]] are terrified the [[Flood]] will repair the [[Truth and Reconciliation|ship]] and use it to escape from [[Halo]]. They've sent in a strike team to kill the [[Flood]] and repair the ship for immediate departure. I've got a good lock on [[Captain Keyes]]' CNI transponder signal! He's alive! And the implants are intact! There's some interference from the [[Truth and Reconciliation|cruiser]]'s damaged reactor. I'll bring us in as close as I can." 
*"Ohh... I see! Coordinate data needs to be- " - When the [[Master Chief]] was teleported in upside down.
*"Right. Sorry." - When the [[Master Chief]] hit a part of his helmet with his fist.
*"[[Captain Keyes|Captain]]? Captain?! I've lost him." - After receiving a message from [[Captain Keyes]], who wanted the [[Master Chief]] to leave him.
*"Analyzing damage...This hole was caused by some kind of explosive. Very powerful if it tore through a ship's hull. All I detect down there are pools of coolant. We should continue our search somewhere else." - In a hangar with a large hole in the floor.
*"Warning! Threat level increasing!"
*"That jump into the coolant is looking better all the time, [[Master Chief|Chief]]!" - When the [[Flood]] is forcing the [[Master Chief]] into the hole.
*"Trust me! It's deep enough to cushion our fall!" 
*"[[Master Chief|Chief]], we need to jump now!" - When you're still refusing to jump to the hole.
*"Let's get out of here, and find another way back aboard the [[Truth and Reconciliation|ship]]." - When you're getting out of the pool of coolant.
*"We should head this way, towards the [[Truth and Reconciliation|ship]]'s Gravity Lift." - In the canyon.
*"The crash did more damage than I suspected. Analyzing. Coolant leakage rate is significant. The [[Truth and Reconciliation|ship]]'s reactor should already have gone critical." - In the area with another pool of coolant.
*"Power source detected. There's the Gravity Lift. It's still operational! That's our way back in!" - When you've reached the Gravity Lift.
*"We should be able to get into the [[Truth and Reconciliation|ship]]'s control room from here." - When the [[Master Chief]] is aboard again.
*"The [[Covenant]] [[Battlenet]] is a mess. I can't access the [[Truth and Reconciliation|ship]]'s schematics. My records indicate that a shuttle bay should be... Here." - Marking the target with a nav point.
*"Look, in the corners. The [[Flood]] are gathering bodies here." - In the large hangar.
*"Looks like another shuttle bay. We should be able to reach the control room from the 3rd level." 
*"He's delirious! In pain! We have to find him!" - After second message from [[Captain Keyes]].
*"The control room should be... This way." - In the third level.
*"The [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]! His vitals are fading! Please, [[Master Chief|Chief]], hurry!" - After the last message from [[Captain Keyes]].
*"No [[human]] life-signs detected. The [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]! He's one of... [[Flood|them]]. We can't let the [[Flood]] get off this [[Halo|ring]]! You know what he'd expect... What he'd want us to do." - When the [[Master Chief]] found the Proto - [[Gravemind]] with [[Captain Keyes]].
*"It's done. I have the code. We should go. We need to get back to the [[Pillar of Autumn]]. Lets go back to the shuttle bay and find a ride." - When the [[Master Chief]] took the neural implance from [[Captain Keyes]]' head.
*"Perfect. Grab one of the escort [[Banshee]]s, and use it to return to the [[Pillar of Autumn]]."

== [[The Maw]] ==
*"-This [[Banshee|thing]] is falling apart!" - About damaged [[Banshee]]
*"We're not gonna make it!" - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"Pull up! Pull up!"
*"You did that on purpose, didn't you?" - When the [[Master Chief]] crashed the [[Banshee]].
*"We need to get to the bridge. From there, we can use the [[Captain Keyes|Captain]]'s neural implants to initiate an overload of the [[Pillar of Autumn|ship]]'s fusion engines. The explosion should damage enough systems below it to destroy the [[Halo|ring]]." - In the [[Pillar of Autumn]]'s corridors.
*"The bridge. We made it. Let's get to work." 
*"I need you to upload [[Cortana|me]] into the control systems. The terminal is located next to the main viewscreen." 
*"I leave home for a few days, and look what happens. This won't take long." - When she appears from the terminal.
*"There. That should give us enough time to make it to a [[lifeboat]] and put some distance between ourselves and [[Halo]] before the detonation." - Activating Self Destruct Sequence.
*"Oh, hell." - Hearing [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|343 Guilty Spark]].
*"[[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|He]]'s in my data arrays, a local tap!"  
*"[[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|He]] stopped the self-destruct sequence...." 
*"At least I still have control over the comm channels." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*I'm detecting taps throughout the ship, [[Sentinels]] most likely. As for the [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]] ... he's in Engineering. He must be trying to take the core offline! Even if I could get the countdown restarted ... I don't know what to do." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"Not much. A well-placed grenade perhaps, but why?" - When the [[Master Chief|Chief]] asked her how much fire power is needed to crack engine's sheild.
*"Okay, I'm coming with you." 
*"[[Master Chief|Chief]]! [[Sentinels]]!" 
*"The [[Pillar of Autumn|ship]] was heavily damaged when it crashed. Head to the cyrochamber. We should be able to get to the engine room through there." 
*"Engine room located. We're here." - When you entered to the Engineering.
*"Alert! The [[343 Guilty Spark (Monitor)|Monitor]] has disabled all command access. We can't restart the countdown. The only remaining option is to detonate the [[Pillar of Autumn|ship]]'s fusion reactors. That should do enough damage to destroy [[Halo]]. Don't worry, I have access to all of the reactor schematics and procedures. I'll walk you through it. First, we need to pull back the exhaust couplings. That will expose a shaft that leads to the primary fusion drive core." - Instructing the [[Master Chief]].
*"Good! Step one complete! We have a straight shot into the fusion reactor! We need a catalyst explosion to destabilize the magnetic containment field surrounding the fusion cells. Use an explosive. I recommend a [[Grenade]] or a [[Rocket Launcher|Rocket]]. If you run out of explosives, there is an armory station located near the engine room's entrance." - When the first manifold is opened.
*"Analyzing. Fusion reactor number one destabilizing. Use explosives on the other three reactors. That should be enough to trigger a wildcat explosion of the engines." - When the first reactor is destroyed.
*"Keep it up! Only one more fusion reactor to go!" - When the three reactors are destroyed.
*"That did it! The engine's gone critical! Based on the current rate of decay, we should have fifteen minutes to get off the [[Pillar of Autumn|ship]]; we don't have much time! We should move outside and signal for evac. Accessing schematics . . . there's a service lift at the top of the engine room! It leads to a class 7 service corridor that runs along the [[Pillar of Autumn|ship]]'s dorsal structure. Hurry!" - When the last reactor is destroyed.
*"[[Cortana]] to [[Echo 419]], come in [[Echo 419]]!" - In the elevator.
*"The [[Pillar of Autumn]]'s engines are going critical, [[Foe Hammer]]! Request immediate extraction! Approach the crash site and be ready to pick us up at external access junction 4C as soon as you get my signal!"
*"Negative, negative! We have a wildcat destabilization of the ship's fusion core. The engines must have sustained more damage than we thought!" - When [[Foe Hammer]] asked her if everything is okay.
*"Analyzing! We have six minutes before the fusion drives detonate. We need to evac NOW!" - To the [[Master Chief]], on [[Legendary]] difficulty it will be five minutes.
*"Activating final countdown timer. When it reaches zero, the engines will detonate. The explosion will generate a temperature of almost 100,000,000 degrees. Don't be there when it blows." - To the [[Master Chief]], in the [[Warthog]] station.
*"We won't make it like this, we'll need a vehicle!" - When you ignore the [[Warthog]].
*"[[Cortana]] to [[Echo 419]]! Request extraction now, on the double!" - To the [[Foe Hammer]].
*"Wait, stop! This is where [[Foe Hammer]] is coming to pick us up. Hold position here." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"Cortana to [[Echo 419]]! Two [[Covenant]] [[Banshee]]s are approaching on your six! Evade, say again, evade!"
*"[[Echo 419]]!" - When [[Foe Hammer]] is shot down.
*"[[Foe Hammer|She]]'s gone. Calculating alternate escape route. The ship's inventory shows one [[Longsword]] fighter still docked in Launch Bay 7. If we move NOW, we can make it!" - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"[[Master Chief|Chief]], up ahead there's a gap in the trench! At top speed, we should be able to clear it!" 
*"That's the ship! Move, we need to get aboard NOW!" - In the bay.
*"We're cutting it close!" - In the final cutscene, when the [[Master Chief]] reached the [[Longsword]].
*"Shut them down, we'll need them later." - When [[Longsword]]'s engines were going critical, in the space, when [[Halo]] started to explode.
*"Fancy a look?" - When [[Halo]] was exploding.
*"Scanning... Just ... dust and echoes. We are all that's left." - When the [[Master Chief]] asked her, if anyone else [[UNSC]] member survived.
*We did what we had to do! For [[Earth]]! An entire [[Covenant]] armada obliterated, and the [[Flood]]! We had no choice. [[Halo]] ... It's finished." - Her final words in [[Halo: Combat Evolved]].

==Halo 2==
==[[Cairo Station (Level)|Cairo Station]]==
*"Another whisper, sir, near [[Io]]. We have probes en route." - To [[Terrence Hood]].
*"You look nice." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"[[Slipspace]] ruptures directly off our battle cluster." - To [[Terrence Hood]].
*"Fifteen [[Covenant]] capital ships holding position just outside the kill zone." 
*"Gladly." - When [[Admiral Hood]] ordered her to use [[[MAC]] gun.
*"[[Malta Station|Malta]], what's your status, over?" - When [[Covenant]] boarders left the [[Malta Station]].
*"That explosion came from inside the [[Athens Station|Athens]]. Same as the [[Malta Station|Malta]]. The [[Covenant]] must have brought something with them. A [[Covenant Bomb}bomb." - When the [[Athens Station]] exploded.
*"[[Master Chief|Chief]], we don't have much time!" - Pushing you to get to the [[Covenant Bomb]].
*"Not very much time on the clock, [[Master Chief|Chief]]!"
*"Where are you? The [[Covenant Bomb|bomb]] is right here!"
*"[[Lord Hood|Sir]], boarders have breached the fire control center. They have a [[Covenant Bomb|bomb]]." - To [[Lord Hood]].
*"Yes, but I'll need the [[Master Chief|Chief]]'s help to make contact with the detonator." - To [[Lord Hood]], about defusing the [[Covenant Bomb]].
*"Registering all hostile vessels inside the kill zone. Thirteen [[CCS-class Battlecruiser|cruisers]], two [[Assault carrier]]s. I'm going loud!" 
*"The first [[Assault carrier|carrier]] completely ignored us, [[Lord Hood|Sir]]! Blew right through the [[Malta Station|Malta]]'s debris field and headed straight for [[Earth]]!" - To [[Lord Hood]].
*"Just so you know, there are quite a few [[Elites]] guarding the [[Covenant Bomb|bomb]]. You may need to get creative." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"[[Cortana|Me]]. Inside your head. Now." - When the [[Covenant]] forces quarding the [[Covenant Bomb]] are killed.
*"You don't want to know." - When the [[Master Chief]] asked [[Cortana|her]] how much time was left to the detonation.
*"[[Cortana|I]] know what [[Master Chief|you]]'re thinking, and it's crazy." - When the [[Master Chief]] is going the [[Covenant Bomb]] against the [[Covenant]].
*"Unfortunately for us both ... [[Cortana|I]] like crazy." 
*"Just one question. What if [[Master Chief|you]] miss?"

==[[Outskirts]]==
*"The message just repeats. 'Regret, Regret, Regret.'" - By O.S.
*"[[Prophet of Regret|Regret]] is a name, [[Sergeant]]. The name of one of the [[Covenant]]'s [[High Prophets|religious leaders]]. A Prophet. He's on that carrier, and he's calling for help." - By O.S., to [[Avery Johnson]].


'''When the [[Pelican]] is crashed.'''
*"You all right, [[Master Chief|Chief]]?" - On [[Easy]].
*"Hey, wake up." - On [[Normal]].
*"Talk to me, should I start CPR? What's going on?" - On [[Heroic]].
*"Blink, if [[Master Chief|you]] can hear [[Cortana|me]]." - On [[Legendary]].



*"[[Hunters]]." - To the [[Master Chief]], when the pair of [[Hunters]] appear.
*"Second squad, this is [[Cortana]]. What's your status, over?" - When the [[Hunters]] are killed.
*"Find a hole, stay put. We'll come to you." - To [[Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker]].
*"The highest concentration of [[Covenant]] ground troops is directly below the [[Assault carrier|carrier]]. I don't think [[Covenant|they]] want [[Master Chief|you]] to get on board." - To the [[Master Chief]].
*"Cut the chatter! We got trouble." 
*"This tunnel leads up to the bridge. It's full of rats if [[Master Chief|you]] know what [[Cortana|I]] mean, but it beats swimming." - In the highway tunnel. 
*"[[Cortana|I]]'ve been analyzing the [[Covenant]] [[Battlenet|tactical chatter]]. [[Covenant|They]]'re surprised, confused... I don't think [[Covenant|they]] expected us to be here. Not... [[Master Chief|you]] and [[Cortana|me]]...all of us... [[humanity]], on [[Earth]]. Odd, I know, but it does help explain why [[Covenant|they]] came here with such a small fleet." 
*"The [[Covenant]] must be trying to regroup. Don't let them." - To the [[Master Chief]], when the group of [[Shadow]]s appeared in the highway tunnel.

==[[Metropolis]]==
*"Thanks for the [[Scorpion|tank]]. [[Master Chief|He]] never gets me anything." - To [[Avery Johnson]].
*"That's quite a welcome party." - When a group of [[Banshee]]s appear.
*"There are [[Marines]] trapped inside that building. Concentrate on the [[Wraiths]], they're the biggest threat."
*"There is a [[Marine]] Command - house in that building. We must help them deal with that [[Scarab]]." - To the [[Master Chief]]. 
*"Who's in charge now, [[Corporal]]? - By O.S., to [[Corporal Perez]].
*"[[Scarab|It]] can't go any further this way. We have it trapped." - When the [[Scarab]] reached the end of the canal.
*"[[Master Chief|Chief]], we're going to have to board that [[Scarab]]." 
*"Careful [[Master Chief|Chief]], that [[Elite]] was an [[Ultra]], and [[Major Elite|those pilots]] are no pushovers either." - When you've killed an [[Ultra Elite]] in the [[Scarab]].

==[[Delta Halo (Level)|Delta Halo]]==
*"We're fine." - When [[Avery Johnson]] asked [[Master Chief]] if he's alright, after [[In Amber Clad]] jumped out of [[slipspace]].
*"That... is another [[Halo]]." - To [[Miranda Keyes]].
*"It is. If activated, this [[Halo|ring]] will cause destruction on a galactic scale." - To [[Miranda Keyes]], confirming that [[Halo]] is a weapon.
*"Yes, ma'am." - To [[Miranda Keyes]] wanting the information about first [[Alpha Halo|Halo]].
*"Hang on to your helmet!" - To the [[Master Chief]], before the pods are dropped.
*"Could we possibly make any more noise?!" - When the pod landed on [[Delta Halo]] surface, the [[Master Chief]] kicked out the pods' cover.
*"I guess so." - When the [[Master Chief]] grabbed a [[Rocket Launcher]].
*"Artillery disabled, [[Sergeant]]. Landing zone secure ... for the moment." - By O.S., to [[Avery Johnson]].
*"Easier said than done. Inbound [[Phantom]]s, [[Master Chief|Chief]]." 
*"Another [[Phantom]], on approach!" - When troops from the first [[Phantom]] are killed.
*"Hold here until the [[Pelican]] arrives, [[Master Chief|Chief]]." 
*"Here comes our ride." - When the [[Pelican]] appears.
*"Let's wait here until our [[Warthog]] arrives ... unless you prefer to walk." - When you're not waiting for the [[Pelican]] and [[Warthog]].
*"I saw it too. It looks like a temple. If I were a megalomaniac, and I'm not, that's where I'd be." - To [[Avery Johnson]], about facility in the lake.
*"The [[Covenant]] have control of the bridge ahead. They're going to try to bottle us up on this side of the gorge. The controls to extend the bridge should be in this structure." 
*"Watch out, [[Master Chief|Chief]]! [[Wraith]]s on the far side!" 
*"Good, the bridge is down. Now about those [[Wraiths]]..." - By O.S., to [[Avery Johnson]].
*"A sermon, actually. I've been listening to it since we landed. So far, some standard [[Covenant]] literature, but I'll translate if [[Prophet of Regret|he]] says anything interesting." - To the [[ODST]] [[Marine]], about [[Prophet of Regret]] hologram.
*"[[Prophet of Regret|Regret]]'s giving a speech, a sermon, to be exact. So far it's the standard [[Covenant]] liturgy but I'll translate If he says anything interesting." - To the [[Master Chief]], about [[Prophet of Regret]] hologram.
*"What? [[Master Chief|You]] don't want the tank? Ok, we'll leave it for the others." - When you ignore a [[Scorpion]] dropped by a [[Pelican]].
*"Careful. We're coming up to another structure." - While you're passing the ruins.
*"[[Pelican]], inbound! Lets clear a Landing Zone!" 
*"The [[Covenant]] are holed up in the middle of this structure. We need to clear them out." 
*"Transcendence, huh? More like mass-suicide." - Commenting to the [[Prophet of Regret]] hologram speech.
*"You always brought us to such a nice places." - In the area with waterfall.
*"Good, still no word about [[In Amber Clad]] on the [[Covenant]] [[battlenet]]. It's odd, the [[Covenant]] knew we made landfall, but [[Covenant|they]] don't seem to consider [[humans|us]] a very serious threat. Boy, are [[Covenant|they]] in for a big surprise." - Near a temple.
*"Watch yourself! [[Elite Honor Guards|Honor Guards]]!" - In the temple with another [[Prophet of Regret]] hologram.
