'''Diorama''' is an interactive flash movie, a part of the ''[[Believe]]'' ad campaign for ''[[Halo 3]]''. It is a fly-through of the [[John-117 Monument]] representing the [[Human-Covenant War]] and [[John-117]]'s sacrifice for humanity.

The flash player loads a video of a camera that flies through the diorama (supposedly based on the [[Battle of Mombasa]]). The scene is very dark, and very dirty. [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]] are seen, dead and alive, trying to fight the many [[Jiralhanae|Brutes]] that fill the streets. As the camera continues along its path, it goes down a hill, showing more ruined buildings, [[Kig-yar|Jackals]], a [[M12 Force Application Vehicle|Warthog]], and a [[M808B Main Battle Tank|Scorpion]]. This location seems to be the only strong point for the Marines. The camera goes up a hill, where a lone group of Marines are in a Warthog, fighting off the many surrounding Brutes. It then pans over a broken bridge, where a [[Special Operations Unggoy|Spec Op Grunt]] is grouped with many Brutes, over to the top of a high structure. A few Marines use it as a vantage point, to snipe off [[Covenant]] forces.

The camera goes up a hill, where a lone group of marines are in a warthog, fighting off the many surrounding brutes. It then pans over a broken bridge, where there is a [[Special Operations Grunt|Spec Op Grunt]] along with many brutes, over to the top of a high structure. A few marines use it as a vantage point, to snipe off Covenant.


The next view is of the "Hill", a Covenant-controlled landmark. There is a large trench next to it, where Marines take a stand against them. A [[Jiralhanae Chieftain|Brute Chieftain]], a [[Mgalekgolo|Hunter]], and others battle the few surviving Marines. The camera circles around the hill, where it shows the captured [[John-117|Master Chief]], holding a [[Type-1 Antipersonnel Grenade|Plasma Grenade]]. Once the camera reaches a certain point, an animation of the Chief looking up slowly is shown. The bridge, a large choke point, is shown again from a higher view; it was destroyed by the [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] in order to stop the flow of Covenant. The camera flies by a ruined building where a group of Marines are gathered, and then it returns to the beginning. A viewer may fly through the diorama again from this point.

'''SPECIES''': HUNTERS ([[Lekgolo]])
== First Person Accounts and Profiles ==


Due to the nature and complex biology of Hunters, very little is known about this particular specimen. On the whole, Hunters are considered extremely dangerous, and their ferociousness on the New Mombasa battlefield was no exception.
=== First Person Accounts ===
 
====J-011-422 (Kig-Yar)====
[[File:Wp jackal.jpg|thumb|150px|J-011-422]]
'''EC#''': [[J-011-422]]
 
'''SPECIES''': JACKALS ([[Kig-yar|Kig-Yar]])
 
J-011-422 is unique among [[Kig-yar Sniper|Sniper Jackals]] in that he was found carrying an [[kig-yar point defense gauntlet|energy shield]] and [[type-33 Guided Munitions Launcher|needler]]. Normally, a Jackal of this rank would abandon their shield to better handle their [[type-50 Sniper Rifle System|beam rifle]], the Covenant long range sniper weapon.
 
====B-021-331 (Jiralhanae)====
[[File:Wp brut helmet.jpg|thumb|150px|B-021-331]]
'''EC#''': [[B-021-331]]
 
'''SPECIES''': BRUTES (Jiralhanae)


B-021-331 was found dead along the southern bridge span. Although his armor was relatively new, other evidence proved that the Brute was a veteran of many battles. His massive torso contained bullet scars, the blades on his [[Paegaas Workshop Spiker|spiker]] were dull, and one of the four digits on his left hand was missing.
==== [[Ian Callahan]] ====
 
[[Image:IanCallahan.png|thumb|right|Ian Callahan.]]
While [[Jiralhanae Minor|Brute Minors]] only recently began wearing [[jiralhanae power armor|heavy armor]], its protection did little to save this alien from the sniper fire that killed him.
 
====G-020-055 (Unggoy)====
[[File:Wp grunt.jpg|thumb|150px|G-020-055]]
'''EC#''': [[G-020-055]]
 
'''SPECIES''': GRUNTS ([[Unggoy]])
 
Grunts, often considered ineffective on their own, are the basic unit of the Covenant infantry. G-020-055 is a rarity among his species in that he held a special operations designation. Grunts holding this title and wearing the tell-tale black armor are only called in for special combat situations. His presence on this battle field shows the severity and importance that the Covenant leadership was placing on this particular engagement.
 
====B-010-233 (Jiralhanae)====
[[File:Wp brut hammer.jpg|thumb|150px|B-010-233]]
'''EC#''': [[B-010-233]]
 
'''SPECIES''': BRUTES (Jiralhanae)
 
Very little is known about B-010-233. His red headdress and [[Gravity hammer (fiction)|gravity hammer]] signify [[jiralhanae Chieftain|a high rank]] in Brute wartime society, although his prowess as a soldier is debated. B-010-233 was killed by [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun|SMG]] fire soon after reaching the peak of this ravine. There are no UNSC killed or wounded attributed to his actions.
 
====B-113-421 (Jiralhanae)====
[[File:Wp brut grey.jpg|thumb|150px|B-113-421]]
'''EC#''': [[B-113-421]]
 
'''SPECIES''': BRUTES (Jiralhanae)
 
B-113-421, notable for his loud animalistic battle cries, is credited with over a dozen UNSC kills. Reports claim that marines would shake with fear when his guttural voice echoed through the valley. The Brute minor was last seen along the top of the New Mombasa ridge just moments after Master Chief's capture.
 
====B-054-846 (Jiralhanae)====
[[File:Wp brut gold.jpg|thumb|150px|B-054-846]]
'''EC#''': [[B-054-846]]
 
'''SPECIES''': BRUTES (Jiralhanae)
 
B-054-846 reportedly killed 23 marines before being neutralized by Lance Corporal [[T. B. Williams]] scoring a long-range sniper kill. ONI is currently cross-referencing this Brute Chieftain's identifiers against those recorded in previous Brute encounters.

"The fighting was real heavy in the corridor. I'd taken a plasma shot straight to the hip to put me down. After laying in the street for God knows how long, someone finally grabbed me and started pulling me to safety. I remember yelling "thank you" over and over to whoever was tugging me out of harm's way. But then... something just didn't feel right.

When I looked to my left I didn't see the standard issue boots of a marine. It was some grotesquely shaped foot. That's when I started screaming.

Turns out two Jackals had me. I tried to resist but after a swift kick to my wounded leg, I was in too much pain to fight back. They searched through all my equipment, checking my radio for power. No dice. Without a working radio or weapon I was of little use to them. One of them pulled out his [[type-25 Directed Energy Pistol|plasma pistol]] and aimed it right in my face. I closed my eyes and thought of home. That's when I heard two blasts from an [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|M90]]. I opened my eyes and saw what was left of my captors in crumpled heaps. I never saw the marine that fired those shots. I hope he knows how grateful I am."

"Riding in a Scorpion Tank is literally like being in the middle of an explosion. All around you are the sounds of small-arms fire being deflected off your armor, and the head-bashing boom of the 90mm gun. All that combined with the constant grind of the tread leaves little room for anything else to penetrate your ears. It's the sound of war. I know, I listened to it for much too long."

“The bridge turned out to be one hell of a crow's nest. Almost everything that stood above us had been blown to high heaven, and from my position I could pick off Covenant troops up to 1000 yards away. I must have logged around 20 kills the first few hours alone.

Eventually the Covenant sent a couple of [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] to take us out and regain the high ground. As we ran for cover, they peppered us with automatic plasma fire. I still have the burn marks up and down my right side to prove it.”

"After the bridge was blown they came up the cliff in droves. My platoon was ordered to intercept, but we were out-manned and out-gunned. The [[jiralhanae|bravo kilos]] quickly saw they could force us back into a trench and trap us like rats. That's when I saw the glow of the plasma grenades. It was all I could do to scramble up that wall. No one else even had the chance. I watched a lot of brave men die that day."

"It took everything to stand on that bridge and keep shooting across its expanse. I was working with a [[m41 Surface-to-Surface Rocket Medium Anti-Vehicle/Assault Weapon|rocket launcher]] and the 15 rockets I fired barely made a dent in the enemy onslaught. It quickly became apparent that the only way to slow down the Covenant offense was to blow the bridge in two. We hoped it would force their troops into the valley where we could pick them off from our elevated position.

* There were no [[Elites]] to be seen throughout the diorama even though the Elites are fighting alongside the humans at this point in the story.


'''ARMAMENT:''' 90mm High Velocity Gun / 12.7mm machine gun
* The music played in the background was measured 25-43, 60-64 of Frederic Chopin: Prelude, Op. 28 No. 15 "Raindrop"


'''CREW:''' 1 driver, 1 gunner
* When you reach a bridge (right after the tank if you chose to go to the right), slowly move the camera and look at the brute holding a human. At one frame, an exclamation mark will appear in the gap between the brute's arm and its head.


'''LENGTH:''' 10 meters
* [[Sergeant Thomas Chang]] may be a reference to the character seen in the original Halo E3 video, when the Master Chief first made his debut. Though the video clearly showed the character being killed, because it is not considered "canon," it is possible that Chang was reckoned into surviving.


'''MASS:''' 66 tons
* Although numerous notes dot the tour, this battle is not officially canon, due to the fact that the [[Master Chief]] was not actually supposed to be inside this battle.

*Oddly, there is an Armor-class Chieftain(usually holding [[plasma cannons]] as such) wielding a Gravity Hammer.

*The music played in the background is measures 25-43, 60-64 of Frederic Chopin's Prelude, Op. 28 No. 15, nicknamed the "Raindrop Prelude"

*[[Thomas Chang|Sergeant Thomas Chang]] may be a reference to the character seen in the original ''Halo'' E3 video, when the Master Chief first made his debut. Though the video clearly showed the character being killed, because it is not considered "canon", it is possible that Chang was retconned into surviving.
*Oddly, there is an Armor-class Chieftain (usually holding [[Pek-pattern plasma cannon|plasma cannons]] as such) wielding a Gravity Hammer.
*A majority of Brute Chieftains with Gravity Hammers have older models similar to the [[Fist of Rukt]], with only a few wielding the updated version.
*Due to unknown reasons, all of the lower-ranked brutes seen throughout the diorama are wearing [[Jiralhanae Stalker|Brute Stalker]] attire. This is probably to increase drama due to the amount of intimidation inflicted by the appearance of the Stalker uniform/armor.
*If you look closely between the ending section of [[The Storm]] and the beginning to the end of the diorama, you can note that the scenery is almost the same in both buildings and terrain. Damaged buildings and rubble make the similarity harder to spot.


*In the diorama, a segment of the [[Mombasa Tether]] appears to have fallen in the landscape. Strangely, perhaps due to size constrictions, the segments are incredibly small compared to their in-game counterparts seen both in ''Halo 3'' and ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.

*After filming was completed, the monument was broken up and its parts distributed to various owners. Pieces of the monument are at Microsoft's campus buildings in Redmond. The central portion with Master Chief, the Brute Chieftain, and many surrounding Brutes is kept at [[Bungie]]'s studio in Bellevue.<ref>[http://youtu.be/1X84FogouRE?t=4m9s Bungie '''YouTube.com''' ''Bungie Studios Tour! Destiny! PAX 2013!'']</ref> [[343 Industries]] received their own segment of the diorama as well. At Halo Fest [[2011]], three chunks of the diorama were put on display (a portion with a Scorpion tank and fighting armies, a section with Hunters and Marines fighting around building fragments, and Bungie's central piece). A few other sections and pieces of the monument were auctioned off and sold in 2015 and 2016 at El Segundo, California. When 343 Industries moved out from Kirkland in [[2016]], they were unable to take their diorama piece into their new building, as it was not glued together and could not be safely transported. When [[Joseph Staten]] learned of this during a tour for the Halo 15th Anniversary Twitch livestream, he jokingly proposed that they carry out an elaborate raid to go retrieve the piece back.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/the-art-of-war-s '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Canon Fodder: The Art of War(s)'']</ref>
