{{Quote|For [[Human-Covenant War|too many years]], humanity was on the backfoot. Reacting to threats, rather than preventing them. Rest of the galaxy was bigger than us. Stronger than us. We were [[Rodent|mice]], hiding in the shadows, hoping the [[Covenant|giants]] would not see us. No more. Humanity is no longer on the defense. ''We'' are the giants now.|[[Captain (Navy)|Captain]] [[Thomas Lasky]]<ref name="Halo 4">'''Halo 4''', ''[[Infinity (mode)|Infinity]]'' introductory cinematic</ref>}}
