'''''A [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]] WILL RISE'''''
'''[[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]]''': "We knew [[Fall of Reach|this day]] would come. They have found our fortress among the stars. The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] are on [[Reach]]."


''The screen fades to black.''
'''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]]."


*'''Dr. Catherine Halsey''': "We knew [[Fall of Reach|this day]] would come.
'''Dr. Halsey''': "Yet, even in our darkest hour, hope remains. Now, who will protect it? Show me Noble Team."


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


''Another shot shows an aerial battle raging over a glassed landscape.''
'''[[Carter-A259|Carter]]''': "Set up a perimeter."


*'''Dr. Halsey''': They have found our fortress among the stars. The [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] are on [[Reach]]."
'''Dr. Halsey''': "They will need him now more than ever."


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


''A wide-open daytime view of New Alexandria is shown. [[Ceudar-pattern 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]].''
'''[[Catherine-B320|Kat]]''': "I'll take that. Not your domain."


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


''A [[Deutoros-pattern Scarab|Scarab]] is shown in a desert, along with a damaged [[D77-TC Pelican|Pelican]] hovering near it.''
'''Kat''': "Keep pressing."


''A [[Holography|hologram]] of [[Reach]] with several locations marked and highlighted is shown, displayed by a Covenant ship's [[holotank]].''
'''Dr. Halsey''': "Jun, Noble Three. As a sniper, his skills are unmatched."


*'''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]]."
'''[[Jun-A266|Jun]]''': "I have visual on hostile infantry."


''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''': "On this mission, distance may be a luxury he can't afford."


*'''Dr. Halsey''': "Yet, even in our darkest hour, hope remains. Now, who will protect it? Show me Noble Team."
'''Dr. Halsey''': "Emile, Noble Four. Is he bold enough? Without question. But we need courage and patience in equal measure."


''[[Auntie Dot]]'s avatar swipes across the screen.''
'''[[Emile-A239|Emile]]''': "Who's next?"


''A close-up of [[Carter-A259]] is shown. Cuts to Carter leading [[Catherine-B320]] and [[Emile-A239]] in what appears to be an industrial site, signaling them to stop and split up.''
'''Dr. Halsey''': "We may require a more ''delicate'' approach."


*'''Dr. Halsey''': "Carter, Noble One. Born leader. He turned Noble into more than just a collection of SPARTANs."
'''Emile''': "That's what you get when you mess with a [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN]]."


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


*'''[[Commander (UNSC)|Commander]] Carter-A259''': "Set up a perimeter."
'''[[Jorge-052|Jorge]]''': "Let the big man do his job."


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


''Cuts to Carter briefing the team in a small cavern.''
'''Dr. Halsey''': "Curious. Hyper-lethal. There's only [[John-117|one other SPARTAN]] with that rating."


*'''Dr. Halsey''': "They will need him now more than ever."
'''Dr. Halsey''': "Yes, Noble Team will do. Yet only one of them can carry our last hope. Only one will hold our fate in their hands."


''Auntie Dot's avatar swipes across the screen.''
'''Dr. Halsey''': "So, you've made your choice? Yes, well... great minds ''do'' think alike."


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

==Unseen A.I.==
In the ViDoc, Dr. Halsey is most likely talking to [[Auntie Dot]], who is seemingly choosing to integrate with the protagonist, Noble 6. There are several reinforcing facts: Auntie Dot's symbol is repeatedly seen during the video, she is the only AI known to appear in the ''Halo: Reach'' campaign, and, at 1:07, it appears that Noble 6 is handing Kat an AI chip. This mirrors [[Cortana]]'s integration with [[John-117]].
