| ===EVACUATION PLAN===
| | '''{''Cutscene''}''' |
| ''POV shot as [[Jameson Locke]] and [[Fireteam Osiris]] teleports to the road leading to [[Meridian Station]]. The sky is clouded by smoke. A settler speeds by on a Warthog.''
| |
| | |
| '''{''Gameplay''}''' | |
| | |
| *'''[[Edward Buck]]''': "We're on the surface?"
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Sloan]] (PA)''': "-more shuttles ready to launch. Move your asses to the evac zone. Get to orbit, now!"
| |
| | |
| ''A cargo ship flies past, trying to escape. The Spartans head down the hill.''
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Holly Tanaka]]''': "Sloan's giving evac orders."
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Olympia Vale]]''': "He knows. Somehow-"
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "Knows what?"
| |
| | |
| ''Above them, the Guardian's pieces rise and assemble.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "Look! The Guardian!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "Oh no..."
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Where the hell is it going?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "Chief's on board that thing."
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "We need to get airborne."
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "The other colonies [[Thomas Lasky|Captain Lasky]] told us about... this is what happened to them. Locke, this colony is going to be a crater soon."
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "We can't take anything that flies from these people."
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "Our Pelican is on the space elevator. We could use that."
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "The other colonies... there are more Guardians-"
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "Really only concerned about the one in front of us right now, Vale."
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "But why this one? Why is the Chief on this Guardian? I think it's the first Cortana activated on purpose."
| |
|
| |
|
| ''The Spartans climb into nearby Warthogs and Mongooses and speed down the road. They eventually reach the site of the Scorpion garage.'' | | ''[[Fireteam Osiris]] exits a door to head further into the [[Meridian]] [[Forerunner]] ruins.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Sloan (COM)''': "This is Governor Sloan broadcasting on all frequencies. People, if you are still planetside, make your way to the space elevator right now. Final shuttles are departing with or without you." | | *'''[[Jameson Locke]]''': "[[Warden Eternal|The Warden]] said [[Cortana]] was calling them to her. She's not here." |
|
| |
|
| *'''Pilot (COM)''': "Governor Sloan, shuttle Bravo Three prepped for takeoff. Watch it, they're on your tail!"
| | ''The Spartans walk down their pathway. Pan right to reveal more of the underground chamber. It is framed by lava falls, and floating platforms move to lead to the enormous construct in its center - the [[Guardian]].'' |
|
| |
|
| ''The Spartans pass through the [[McCord River bridge]]. Soldiers and Crawlers attack fleeing settlers, and Phaetons purse their vehicles. The Guardian overhead has assembled and makes occasional screeches.'' | | *'''[[Edward Buck]]''': "Whoa. They built them big, didn't they? Figure that's the Guardian?" |
|
| |
|
| *'''Buck''': "Guardian's got a hell of a singing voice." | | *'''[[Holly Tanaka]]''': "Can't get much by Buck." |
|
| |
|
| *'''Vale''': "Can we do autopilot retrieval? Bring the Pelican down to us?"
| | ''Spartan Vale approaches the edge of their walkway and sees a glowing blue light on its floor. It resembles another blue light situated on a floating circular platform. Vale steps into it, and is immediately teleported to the platform.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Distress Call''': "Mayday! Mayday! We're taking fire! We're hit!" | | *'''[[Olympia Vale]]''': "Up here!" |
|
| |
|
| *'''Buck''': "Not with those ships shooting everything out of the sky."
| | ''Vale steps off the platform to another walkway, but sees another teleportation glow above her.'' |
|
| |
|
| ''Osiris and other settlers reach the security outpost to the space elevator. A Pelican has crashed at its entrance. They climb over it to enter the courtyard, which is flooded with Promethean infantry.'' | | *'''Vale''': "Contact!" |
|
| |
|
| *'''Locke''': "Governor Sloan, we need access to the space elevator."
| | ''It's the missing [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] squad, [[Blue Team]] - and [[John-117]]. He turns to see the approaching Spartans, and runs.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Sloan (COM)''': "Can't do that, Spartans. Got too many people taking refuge inside. They'd be slaughtered." | | *'''Locke''': "Move! Contain!" |
|
| |
|
| *'''Locke''': "Understood, Governor. Osiris, clear the area so they can open those doors."
| | ''A chase ensues. Osiris pursues Blue Team through the floating platforms, passing through teleporters to reach higher levels. At the last one, Locke jumps in but his teammates stay back. Cut to the final platform, which leads to a widening slipspace portal, and Blue Team lands to head for it.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''PA''': "Hostile activity detected. Lockdown systems engaged."
| | ''Locke lands and holds [[Kelly-087]], [[Fred-104]], and [[Linda-058]] at gunpoint with his battle rifle.'' |
|
| |
|
| ''The Spartans battle through the courtyard.'' | | *'''Locke''': "Blue Team!" |
|
| |
|
| *'''Transmission (COM)''': "Control, I have no idea if this bird's spaceworthy. She's not gonna fly. We need another way to get these people off world."
| | ''Vale, Tanaka, and Buck arrive at a balcony overlooking the platform. |
|
| |
|
| *'''Sloan (COM)''': "What's taking so long, Spartans? Your [[propaganda]]'s overselling your skills. I ain't opening these doors until the base is clear." | | *'''Locke''': "Stay where you are." |
|
| |
|
| *'''Buck''': "We get to stop being polite with him real soon here, right?"
| | ''John warps in and joins his teammates.'' |
|
| |
|
| ''When the Spartans clear the courtyard.'' | | *'''Locke''': "117, stand down!" |
|
| |
|
| *'''PA''': "Area secured. Lockdown released."
| | ''Blue Team turns to look at John, who looks back at Locke, who still has rifle raised.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Locke''': "Elevator door's opening." | | *'''Locke''': "Sir, you are absent without leave. This is your one chance to come home peacefully." |
|
| |
|
| ''The Spartans and settlers head into the elevator's base. Other settlers are assembled there, waiting to be let aboard.'' | | ''John nods to Blue Team. They turn and walk into the portal.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Sloan (COM)''': "Spartans. Your tenacity outstrips even my own." | | *'''Locke''': "Blue Team! Stand down!" |
|
| |
|
| *'''Vale''': "When did Cortana tell you about the Guardian?"
| | ''The Spartan-IIs ignore him. John starts to walk to the portal.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Sloan (COM)''': "I'd- ...you're good. She gave me fair warning, true enough. I was allowed to help my people survive. A ''change'' is going to come. For all of us. [[Human]] and [[Created]] alike. She's bringing a new dawn and I intend to be a part of it." | | *'''John''': "I have a job to do." |
|
| |
|
| *'''PA''': "Cargo elevator door opening. Remain " | | *'''Locke''': "Cortana's our concern now, sir." |
|
| |
|
| ''The door to the space elevator's cargo cabin opens.'' | | ''John stops, his back to Locke.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Sloan (COM)''': "I see my time is up. Good luck to you, everyone. And goodbye." | | *'''John''': "Like hell she is." |
|
| |
|
| ===SUDDEN BUT INEVITABLE BETRAYAL===
| | ''Master Chief turns, grabs Locke's rifle out of his hands, then swing and breaks it over Locke's head. He punches at him but misses, and Locke catches his arm and pushes him away. John follows with another swing but Locke catches his hand. The two wrestle before John overpowers Locke, tossing him some feet away.'' |
| ''Prometheans are already inside the elevator.'' | |
|
| |
|
| *'''Buck''': "They're between us and the Pelican."
| | ''Locke lands and gets to his feet, then charges and kicks his knee into John's head. John flounders at the blow while Locke follows with a kick to the chest. John is pushed back a distance and Locke tries to get him with a punch, but the Chief grabs Locke and tosses him to the floor. He swings a punch at Locke's head, but Locke rolls out of the way and kicks John's face. Locke then gets to his feet and knees Chief more times in the chest.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Locke''': "Weapons free."
| | ''As John reels, Locke swings his fists at John's head. The right punch stuns him, but the right punch knocks John to his knees. John stays kneeling for a moment, then gets up and slowly turns to face Locke, revealed his faceplate has been cracked across. Locke stands ready and primes an [[armor restraint]].'' |
|
| |
|
| ''The Spartans engage the droid infantry.'' | | ''The Spartans charge. Locke swings his right hand carrying the restraint, but John catches it and punches Locke across the face with his other hand. He keeps his grip on Locke's right arm while he knees Locke's midsection then locks their arms. As the two wrestle for control, John headbutts Locke, takes the restraint, and jams it in Locke's chest. Locke struggles and draws his pistol but his armor seals tight, freezing him in place.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''PA''': "Warning: security lockdown in effect."
| | ''An earthquake rumbles through the chamber. Vale, Tanaka, Buck, and Locke, still able to move his head, looks up to see rocks falling from the ceiling. John holsters his [[MA5D assault rifle|assault rifle]] and heads into the portal. As it closes, the platform moves Locke closer to Osiris, letting them jump down to reach him. Tanaka pulls the armor restraint off Locke.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Locke''': "Tanaka, override the security system." | | *'''Locke''': "Damn it!" |
|
| |
|
| *'''Tanaka''': "Love to. Delicate work to do while getting shot at, though. "
| | ''Roars echo in the cavern. The Guardian's "eyes" glow as it prepares to break free. The floating platforms around it begin to fall. Osiris looks to the closest exit platform, but it falls into the lava below. The door they entered from shuts.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Buck''': "Let's clear the lady some work space, shall we?" | | *'''Tanaka''': "Don't like the looks of this." |
|
| |
|
| ''If the player stalls.'' | | ''A deafening screech emanates from the Guardian.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Locke''': "Lockdown won't end until we clear the last of these Prometheans!"
| | *'''Buck''': "Maybe we can get out how they got in." |
| | |
| ''After the Prometheans are destroyed.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "Area's clear. Tanaka, how do we get the elevator moving?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Find the control panel."
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "It must be here somewhere."
| |
| | |
| ''Locke heads to the main control panel and inputs the launch command.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "Got it."
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "Security protocol received. Disengage confirmed. Leaving "
| |
| | |
| ''The cargo cabin begins to move up.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "Sloan said a change is coming. We know Cortana contacted him. Is she on the Guardian too?" | |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Master Chief seemed to think so."
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "So if she's there, then where are they going?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "We'll find out once we're in the Pelican."
| |
| | |
| ''The elevator keeps going up.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "I understand the Master Chief disobeying orders to find Cortana. But why the rest of Blue Team? They didn't know her."
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "The members of Blue Team grew up together in the [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan II program]]. They've registered more operations than any other fireteam in the UNSC."
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "They're family."
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "Exactly."
| |
| | |
| ''The elevator shakes and an alarm sounds. The cabin stops ascending.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "Approaching Level Two docking station."
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Incoming Prometheans!"
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "Containment protocol will remain in effect for duration of emergency."
| |
| | |
| ''When the Prometheans are destroyed, the elevator resumes moving up.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "All clear. Safety protocol disengaged."
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "[[Siege of New Alexandria|New Alexandria]] all over again. We claw our way here, scratch a life out of the dirt... for what? So we can run? Leave it all behind?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "There's a difference between running and living to fight another day."
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "Tanaka's right. Humanity's at our best when we're making something out of nothing. We're tenacious. We'll rebuild as many times as we have to."
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "Approaching Level Three docking station."
| |
| | |
| ''Many Prometheans warp in.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "More Prometheans!"
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "Protocol will remain in effect for duration of emergency."
| |
| | |
| ''The Prometheans are destroyed.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "All clear. Safety protocol disengaged."
| |
| | |
| ''The elevator ascends again.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "Approaching super rung calico."
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Evelyn Collins]] (COM)''': "Hello? Can anyone hear me? I'm at Meridian Station. Everyone's dead. Governor Sloan isn't here. I... (''sobs'') ...please! Is there anyone left here but me?!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Sloan just up and abandoned his people?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "If Cortana's really behind that Guardian moving, she did more damage here than him."
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "We'll find the truth of what happened here. And we'll make certain that those who should answer for it do."
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "Approaching super rung calico."
| |
| | |
| ''A massive final wave of Knights and [[Knight Commander]]s arrives.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "Watch out! More Prometheans!"
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "System protocol will remain in effect for duration of emergency."
| |
| | |
| ''When most of the Knights are destroyed.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "Eliminate the last of the Prometheans."
| |
| | |
| ''The last Knight is killed.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "All clear. Safety protocols disengaged."
| |
| | |
| ''The elevator heads up but a loud wail is heard from a distance.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "There's that Guardian song again!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "What's that about?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Maybe a signal of some kind. Building up to something."
| |
| | |
| ''The elevator is above Meridian's clouds now. The Guardian can be seen floating nearby in the sky.
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "Approaching super rung calico."
| |
| | |
| *'''Settler''': "Transport three to group. Heads up. That thing's starting to move!"
| |
| | |
| ''A loud hum starts to build up in the air.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Settler''': "I don't know what's going on. Wait, it just stopped. Oh hell, GET OUT OF-"
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Take cover!"
| |
| | |
| ''A loud [[Electromagnetic pulse|EMP blast]] bursts out of the Guardian. It strikes the elevator, sending the Spartans in the air and stopping the elevator.''
| |
| | |
| *'''PA''': "Warning: massive structural failure. Please proceed to emergency stairwell. Oxygen masks are available."
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "Everyone all right?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "What happened?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Elevator e-brake stopped a total collapse but she won't last out long."
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "Do you reckon the structure is still secure enough to climb?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "If it's gonna fall, won't be because Spartans are using it as a jungle gym."
| |
| | |
| ''If the player stalls.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Where do you figure that Guardian's going?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "What makes you think it's going anywhere?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Sure ain't sitting where it's found."
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "Wherever it's going, the Master Chief is going with it, and I intend on reaching him before that happens."
| |
| | |
| ''The Spartans leave the cabin and head for the emergency stairs. Several of them are knocked off or hanging.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Pelican's a few more super rungs up from here."
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "How far is that?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "More than you want it to be, not as far as it could be."
| |
| | |
| ''If the player stalls.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "This might be hard to believe, seeing as how I'm a model of stoicism and courage today, but... When I was a kid, I-I was afraid of heights. So...there's that."
| |
| | |
| ''The Spartans climb the catwalks up the rungs. Several Soldiers and [[Phaeton]]s appear to attack them.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "Phaetons targeting our positions. Stay mobile!"
| |
| | |
| ''The Spartans get higher, but another shockwave ruptures from the Guardian.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Gotta keep moving up. Guardian ain't waiting for us."
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "Not sure this scaffold can take any more shockwaves!"
| |
| | |
| ''The Spartans reach the upper landing pad.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Think this thing might fall after all."
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "To hell with it. I'm calling in our Pelican now. We'll risk autopilot."
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "We need to keep moving to that Guardian. Don't fancy this thing falling out from under us."
| |
| | |
| ''The Spartans see the Pelican, parked precariously on the unsteady platform.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "The Pelican's just outside! Move it, people!"
| |
| | |
| ''A shockwave hits the dock, shaking it badly.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Tanaka''': "Shockwaves are getting closer together."
| |
| | |
| *'''Vale''': "Almost like a countdown."
| |
| | |
| ''Another blast strikes. Locke is knocked off his feet but gets back up.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Buck''': "What happens when it gets to zero..."
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "I don't want to find out. Get to the Pelican!"
| |
| | |
| ''Locke is just a few meters from the Pelican.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Locke''': "Everyone! Onboard! Now!"
| |
| | |
| '''{''Cutscene''}'''
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Locke falls to the floor in exhaustion but hurries to get back up.'' | | ''Buck points to a distant teleporter platform. |
|
| |
|
| ''Cut to the Guardian. It has a face like a leering skull, and its body whines as it sends out one more pulse. The Spartans reel from the blast, which knocks away Locke's battle rifle.'' | | *'''Locke''': "Go! Run!" |
|
| |
|
| ''Close up of the Guardian and its spreading wings.'' | | ''Osiris leaps from teleporter to teleporter, as the platforms lose power and drop. They make it to the last, but Buck misses and grabs its edge while the other phase through. Buck hangs by one arm and sees the lava lake below.'' |
|
| |
|
| ''The Spartans run to the Pelican, but the dock tilts, tripping them all into a slide. Its edge is beginning to collapse. The Spartans get to their feet, running for the Pelican as it drifts closer to the edge. Tanaka and Buck climb in and Vale jumps inside. The Pelican is nearly vertical now, and she falls into the cockpit and straps in the pilot seat.'' | | *'''Buck''': "Aw hell." |
|
| |
|
| ''Locke jumps for the Pelican but it falls off the platform. He activates his thrusters and speeds for its open bay door. Catching up, he lands inside and brakes with his front thrusters to stop.'' | | ''The platform starts to drop, but Locke reappears and grabs Buck's arm. He pulls him up and they pass through the teleporter.'' |
|
| |
|
| *'''Locke''': "Vale!" | | *'''Locke''': "I said run!" |
|
| |
|
| *'''Vale''': "I'm on it!"
| | ''The now-empty platform falls into the lava. Cut to the Guardian, now powered and preparing to break into the surface.'' |
|
| |
|
| ''She punches the throttle. The Pelican speeds up and then swings around mid-fall, flying up from the elevator.''
| | {{expand-section}} |
|
| |
|
| ''A slipspace portal opens behind the Guardian. It draws its wings and its pieces drift into the portal, as do pieces of the space elevator. Osiris' Pelican flies by, fleeing Meridian.''
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Level ends.''
| |
|
| |
|
| ==Trivia==
| |
| *The [[Halo Kart]] Easter egg can be found on this level.
| |
| *The Thunderstorm skull can be found on this level through a hidden minigame. During the opening vehicle run, the player must destroy five traffic cones within two minutes. This will cause the skull to spawn at the very end of the level, where the Spartans are running to their Pelican.
| |
| *The chapter title "Sudden but Inevitable Betrayal" is a reference to {{Plain|[https://youtu.be/znxFrgql5dc a scene]}} from the ''[[Wikipedia:Firefly (TV series)|Firefly]]'' series, which Buck's actor [[Nathan Fillion]] starred in.
| |
| *All NPC settlers who have survived the Promethean waves during the elevator's ascension will die when the Guardians fires its first burst. However, some may survive if they are inside the Gauss Hog if it was brought aboard the elevator.
| |
| *The last section of the elevator climb, the run to the Pelican, is timed. If the player fails to reach it in time, they die and must start over from a checkpoint.''
