'''''A [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]] WILL RISE'''''

''The screen fades to black.''

*'''Dr. Catherine Halsey''': "We knew [[Fall of Reach|this day]] would come.

''View opens to show a towering, twin-peaked mountain on the surface of Reach. The wreckage of a [[UNSC frigate|UNSC Frigate]] can be seen atop a hill to the right, and fires rage on the ground, making the air thick with smoke.''

''Another shot shows an aerial battle raging over a glassed landscape.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': They have found our fortress among the stars. The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] are on [[Reach]]."

''A nighttime view of the city of [[New Alexandria (location)|New Alexandria]] is shown. Many of the skyscrapers and the bridges connecting them are severely damaged, with fires burning in some of them.''

''A wide-open daytime view of New Alexandria is shown. [[SDV-class heavy corvette|Covenant corvette]]s loom over the embattled cityscape, and in the foreground, a human ship is shot down by a [[Plasma turret|Plasma Torpedo]].''

''Another shot of the night-time city is shown. A [[UH-144 Falcon]] takes off from a burning building, and one of the damaged skyscrapers collapses in the background.''

''A [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]] is shown in a desert, along with a damaged [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] hovering near it.''

''A [[Holography|hologram]] of [[Reach]] with several locations marked and highlighted is shown, displayed by a Covenant ship's [[holotank]].''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "They will [[Glassing|burn]] this planet, kill millions, and when Reach falls - and fall it will - there will be nothing left to stand between them and [[Earth]]."

''Noble Team is shown, standing near a red signal flare. A Falcon hovers over them, and [[Jorge-052]] picks up his heavy machine gun from the ground.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "Yet, even in our darkest hour, hope remains. Now, who will protect it? Show me Noble Team."

''[[Auntie Dot]]'s avatar swipes across the screen.''

''A close-up of [[Carter-A259]] is shown. Cuts to Carter leading [[Kat-B320]] and [[Emile-A239]] in what appears to be an industrial site, signaling them to stop and split up.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "Carter, Noble One. Born leader. He turned Noble into more than just a collection of SPARTANs."

''After being deployed to the ground by two Falcons, Carter gives a hand signal for the team.''

*'''[[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] Carter-A259''': "Set up a perimeter."

''Carter is shown in combat, along with Jorge and Noble Six, next to a downed [[Sangheili]].''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "They will need him now more than ever."

''Auntie Dot's avatar swipes across the screen.''

''A close-up of [[Kat-B320]] is shown.''

''Kat is shown opening a door with her [[Artificial limb|prosthetic arm]] and moving out, [[M6G Personal Defense Weapon System|M6 sidearm]] in her other hand, followed by Carter.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "Kat, Noble Two. She ''is'' brilliant."

''A first-person view of Noble Six handing Kat a [[M4 Field Disk|recorder chip]] is shown. She quickly snatches it from Six's hand. Several computers and displays are seen in the background.''

*'''[[Lieutenant Commander]] Kat-B320''': "I'll take that. Not your domain."

''Kat is shown hacking a door control panel while Carter covers her from enemy fire.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "There are no technical hurdles she can't overcome. But her curiosity borders on insubordination."

''Cut to Emile tossing Kat a red device, while inspecting a site of a burning Warthog.''

''Cut to Jorge and Kat crossing a bridge while under fire from the Covenant. Kat takes cover behind Jorge as they move forward, both firing their weapons.''

*'''Kat-B320''': "Keep pressing."

''Auntie Dot's avatar swipes across the screen.''

''[[Jun-A266]] is shown loading [[14.5×114mm|rounds]] into a [[Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Matériel|sniper rifle]] magazine.''

''Auntie Dot's avatar swipes across the screen.''

''Shows [[Emile-A239]] with his [[M45 Tactical Shotgun|shotgun]], then cut to show him in a Pelican's troop bay, firing his [[M319 Individual Grenade Launcher|grenade launcher]] at two pursuing [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]] and a Phantom, while under fire from the aircraft.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "Emile, Noble Four. Is he bold enough? Without question. But we need courage and patience in equal measure."

''Cut to Emile firing his shotgun whilst moving forward, and pulling his kukri out of its sheath.''

*'''Warrant Officer Emile-A239''': "Who's next?!"

''Shows Emile pulling his kukri out of a [[Skirmisher]]'s body, inside a severely damaged building.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "We may require a more ''delicate'' approach."

*'''Emile-A239''': "That's what you get when you mess with a [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]]."

''Auntie Dot's avatar swipes across the screen.''

''Cut to a zoom-in view of Jorge with his machine gun, at a rainy courtyard.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "Jorge, Noble Five. It's good to see him home again. But the [[Fall of Reach]] will weigh heavily upon him, and this mission will test every last ounce of his strength."

''Shows Jorge leaping out of a Falcon. Kat, and the other members of the team do the same in the background.''

*'''Chief Warrant Officer Jorge-052''': "Let the big man do his job."

''Auntie Dot's avatar swipes across the screen.''

''Shows SPARTAN-B312, turning to face the camera, beside an ONI computer with some of its internal components exposed.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "[[SPARTAN-B312|Noble Six]]. The team's most recent addition. My, my. So much black ink. Six has made entire [[Insurrectionist|militia groups]] disappear."

''Cut to show Dr. Catherine Halsey from behind, in her lab by a large, transparent viewscreen. On the screen, the profiles of Jorge, Kat and Carter are visible, with [[Missing in action|"MIA"]] marked under them. Below them, a map of Reach and the Noble Team emblem can be seen.''

''Shows Halsey from the other side of the screen, shutting down a video feed of Noble Team's Falcons taking off. Halsey turns to face [[Cortana|an unseen individual]] and smiles.''

*'''Dr. Halsey''': "So, you've made your choice? Yes, well... great minds ''do'' think alike."

''Halsey turns back to the viewscreen, and shuts it down with the push of a finger. The screen goes dark, only displaying the grid pattern associated with Auntie Dot. A single dot moves to the center of the screen and turns into Auntie Dot's avatar, which quickly flickers off, only leaving a black screen.''
