In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', there are [[UNSC]] '''radio conversations''' in most of the [[Multiplayer]] and [[Firefight]] maps. Some of the conversations are linked to each other to form a narrative.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=49670283 '''Bungie.net Forums''': ''Turn Up The Radio: Radio Logs from Reach'']</ref>


In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', there are '''radio conversations''' between [[United Nations Space Command]] personnel in most of the [[Multiplayer]] and [[Firefight]] maps.

===Red Team story arc===
A number of radio logs can be combined to recreate the battle [[Red Team]]'s [[Beta-Red|Beta splinter unit]] fought to protect [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|ODG A-331]] from [[Covenant]] forces.
 
====Part 1 - Breakpoint====
The radio is located on the floor, next to the control panel near the window, in "Research Station".

*'''[[Bravo 001]]''': "Mayday, mayday! This is Bravo zero-zero-one, en route to your position. Do you have a visual on my aircraft, over?"


*'''[[Golden Arrow]]''': "Bravo zero-zero-one, this is Golden Arrow. I do believe you were steering that bird in the wrong direction, over."
*'''[1]''': Do you think the [[UNSC Army|Army]] showing up in [[Pálháza]] is connected to the [[Visegrad Relay|Visegrad hub]] going down?
 
*'''[2]''': Well, newsfeed says it was (in their defense?). But if you're going to make a statement, why hit a remote place like Visegrad?
 
*'''[1]''': You think it was UNSC goons? Like, maybe they found out the [[United Rebel Front|URF]] was running a pirate station out of the Visegrad hub?
 
*'''[2]''': If that was the case, why blame the outage on an Innie success? Why not apologize for a temporary outage and play up the futility of resistance?


*'''Bravo 001''': "Negative, Golden Arrow - I'm flying blind! You need to point me in the direction of the LZ."
*'''[1]''': Well, what do you think it is, then? If it ain't the Innies, and the UNSC is spinning it...


*'''Golden Arrow''': "You got it, Bravo zero-zero-one; happy to oblige. Link up with Uniform Delta one-zero-one-five-three-niner-niner-zero, heading south-southwest. Slips about one-zero-zero knots. Advise you head for the treetops and fly straight at [[Mount Törött]]. We got more of them problems of our own down here."
*'''[2]''': Nah, brother, don't say it.


*'''Bravo 001''': "I say again: ''that's a negative'', Golden Arrow. I've got [[SPARTAN-II Program|high value assets]] in tow and strict orders to drop them directly on your location, my bird ain't going to hold together all way to the [[Asźod ship breaking yards|boneyard]]. Need an LZ clear, over."
*'''[1]''': I'm just saying we should be prepared for the worst, is all. We should—


*'''Golden Arrow''': "With respect, Bravo - unless you have a cartful of [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon|tac-nukes]] with my name on it, you don't have anything of value in that bird. Get your ass to evac."
*'''[2]''': So you think the next logical explanation is Covenant invasion? Those guys blow up planets, not shut down local carrier hubs.


*'''Bravo 001''': "All right, Golden Arrow. If I can't set her down, I'll just drop these big Spartans on your head, out."
*'''[1]''': Visegrad isn't ''just'' a local carrier hub, though. It's one of the three hubs that connects the northern (oilfields ?) with the main complex down south, and thus the rest of the colonies.


*'''Golden Arrow''': "Well, why didn't you say so? Come down close to the tree line at 2.3 klicks west of your current position. That's where me and my boys are, over."
*'''[2]''': Okay...


*'''Bravo 001''': "I'm gonna need that LZ cleared, Golden Arrow; I'm gonna be right on top of you in three mikes."
*'''[1]''': I'm saying this is either a very ballsy and strategically sound move on the part of the Innies, and we're in the middle of a ''coup d'etat''...


*'''Golden Arrow''': "Hell, I'm gonna clear you a spot myself, Bravo. Look for the trooper with big-ass grin on his face."
*'''[2]''': Or?


*'''Bravo 001''': "Roger that, I'll see you. Out."
*'''[1]''': Or the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]]'s here and it's already too late.

*'''Recon 43''': "Looks like we're on our own, boys. This is their eyes and ears, we flatten these guys and disengage. Tag your targets and get ready to go loud on my mark."

*'''Chapman''': "Recon 43, this is Gamma-One Actual. I say again: you are to stand down and withdraw immediately. ''Do not engage'', over!"

*'''Chapman''': "What do we have that we can send to support them? Dammit!"
*'''Recon 43''': Fire, that's it, make 'em count! <gunfire>


*'''Recon 43''': "Pull back, move and shoot, move and shoot! Where the hell did all these hostiles come from?"
*'''Gamma 1''': What do we have that we can send to support them? Dammit!


*'''Chapman''': "Tell [[Beta-Romeo Actual]] that the company we are expecting is going to be arriving a little earlier than we anticipated.
*'''Recon 43''': Pull back, move and shoot, move and shoot! Where the hell did all these hostiles come from?


*'''Chapman''': "Recon 43, I say again: you are not cleared to engage! Stow your weapons, we are reading multiple inbound hostiles in your sector — you do ''not'' want their attention, over!"
*'''Gamma 1''': Tell [[Beta Romeo Actual]] that the company we are expecting is going to be arriving a little sooner than we anticipated. <fades out> (directed to Recon 43) I say again, you are not cleared to engage! Stow your weapons, we are reading multiple inbound hostiles in your sector—you do ''not'' want their attention, over!


*'''Recon 43''': "Aw, damn! Tip of the spear, nothin' - it's [[Fleet of Particular Justice|the whole godforsaken fleet]]! Fire, fire, fire!"
*'''Recon 43''': Aw, damn! Tip of the spear, nothin', it's the whole god-forsaken fleet! Fire, fire, fire!


*'''Chapman''': "Recon 43, respond. Check in! I say again, Recon 43, do you read me? Dammit! Get [[Red Team]] up and running, high alert. We're about to have company."

*'''[[Lieutenant]] [[Buckman]]''': "Gamma-One, [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-412|Facility Alpha 412]] is overrun, and I'm heading to your location with what's left of Gamma-Five, over."


*'''Chapman''': "Gamma-Five? damn, it's good to hear you. How many are you bringing? I thought [[UNSC battle network|bee-net]] said your house got knocked down."
*'''Gamma 1''': This is nuts. What in the hell are those autoturrets supposed to do against what they're bringin'? Over.


*'''Buckman''': "Confirm. [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-412|ODG-412]] is slag. Lost all but fourteen able bodies. Making our way over in two 'Hogs and a radio van."
*'''[[Red Team|Beta Red]]''': Divide their attention.


*'''Chapman''': "The more the merrier. Looks like we got makin's for a party. Some honest-to-god Spartans are ridin' up here with some boys from [[Third Mechanized|Third Mech]] as we speak."
*'''Beta Red''': Visual. Thirty-two [[Wraith]]s moving with two hundred sixty infantry at two hundred meters, closing on our lines due west at six kilometers per hour. Beta Red, hold position until I trigger primaries, then close on their front line as fast as you can.


*'''Buckman''': "Hate to break it to you, Gamma-One, but Covie's hit us with two divisions at Alpha-412. How many Spartans you got on approach?"
*'''Gamma 1''': Dammit, Red, I heard you [[SPARTAN-II|Spartans]] were crazy. Gamma 5, radio check over.


*'''Chapman''': "Gamma-Five, say again? That was two divisions, over?"
*'''Gamma 5''': Five by five, Gamma 1 Actual. Drone's holding station at over ten thousand feet. We got eyes on the whole damn thing.


*'''Buckman''': "That's affirmative. We put a dent in 'em, but that's about it. The only reason I ain't one of them on the line with you right now is [[UNSC High Command|HighCom]] decided to drop every available asset right on top of 'em, and us. Over."
*'''Gamma 1''': Those Spartans ''are'' crazy, they're gonna get us killed.


*'''Chapman''': "Well, I hope you're bringing extra ammo then, Gamma-Five."
*'''Gamma 5''': Holy...! <static> You're ain't gonna believe this! Beta Red just punched right up into the guts of that Covie column! Ever see a Spartan go hand to hand with a Wraith? Unbelievable!


*'''Buckman''': "All we could carry and then some. ETA twenty-five mikes, out."
*'''Gamma 1''': What are eleven Spartans gonna do against thirty thousand Covenant? They're dead men.

====Part 4 - Countdown====
*'''Gamma 5''': Can't argue that, but those Spartans just bought us some time! We might just make it outta this alive! Get ready to move, over!
The radio is located in the south-east corner of the third floor, tucked behind a ridge of concrete near a [[fusion coil]].

*'''Beta-Romeo Actual''': "Gamma-One Actual, my team is in position. Get your people ready to move as soon as I give the signal, over."
*'''Gamma 1''': <unintelligible, fading in> Let's get the hell outta here.


*'''Chapman''': "With respect, Red - we might not be Spartans, but this is our home. My men will die here if I ask them to."
[radio hiss, gunfire, explosions]
 
*'''Beta-Romeo Actual''': "I don't doubt that, Gamma-One Actual. Let's hope we won't need them to. Defensive perimeter online."


*'''Chapman''': "This is nuts. What in the hell are those autoturrets supposed to do against what they're bringin', over?"
*'''Beta Red''': Gamma 1 Actual, my team is in position. Get your people ready to move as soon as I give the signal, over.


*'''Beta-Romeo Actual''': "Divide their attention."
*'''Gamma 1''': With respect Red, we might not be Spartans, but this is our home. My men will die here if I ask them to.


*'''Beta-Romeo Actual''': "Visual! Thirty-two [[Zurdo-pattern Wraith|Wraiths]] moving with two-hundred sixty infantry at 200 meters, closing on our lines due west at six kilometers per hour. Beta-Red, hold position until I trigger primaries, then close on their front line as fast as you can."
*'''Beta Red''': I don't doubt that, Gamma 1 Actual. Let's hope we won't need them to. Defensive perimeter online.
 
*'''Chapman''': "Dammit, Red, I heard you [[SPARTAN-II Program|Spartans]] were crazy. Gamma-Five: radio check, over."
 
*'''Buckman''': "Five by five, Gamma-One Actual. [[F-99 Wombat|Drone]] is holding station at ten thousand feet. We got eyes on the whole damn thing."

*'''[[Iron Fist]]''': Gamma 1 Actual, this is Iron Fist. We read you. What is the current status of Facility Alpha 331?


*'''Chapman''': "Facility Alpha-331 is overrun and offline, defense grid at Uniform-Delta is running at starvation levels. If you're taking survivors, we've got a few."
*'''Gamma 1''': [[Orbital Defense Generator Facility A-331|Facility Alpha 331]] is overrun and offline, defense grid at uniform delta (???) is running at starvation levels. If you're looking for survivors, we've got a few.


*'''Iron Fist''': "Negative, Gamma. We are en route to support [[Beta-Red]]. Any word on their status?"
*'''Iron Fist''': Negative, Gamma, we are en route to support Beta Red. Any word on his status?


*'''Chapman''': "None, over."
*'''Gamma 1''': None, over.


*'''Iron Fist''': "Acknowledged. There is a temp evac station 50 klicks west along your current vector at Uniform-Delta zero-zero-eight-niner-six-three-niner-eight-seven. I'll let 'em know you're coming."
*'''Iron Fist''': Acknowledged. There is a temp evac station 50 klicks west along your current vector at UD 0896 3987. I'll let them know you're coming.


*'''Chapman''': "Might want to tell them to pull up stakes. Beta-Red may be tough as hell, but I don't know how long they'll be able to tie up two armor divisions."
*'''Gamma 1''': Might want to tell them to pull up stakes. Beta Red may be tough as hell, but I have no idea how long they'll be able to tie up two armor divisions.


*'''Iron Fist''': "Say again, Gamma, over?"
*'''Iron Fist''': Say again, Gamma, over.


*'''Chapman''': "I said Beta-Red may be tough as hell but - oh my god!"
*'''Gamma 1''': I said Beta Red may be tough as hell but - oh, my god!


*'''Iron Fist''': "Gamma-One Actual, we lost you. Say again, over?"
*'''Iron Fist''': Gamma 1 Actual, we lost you, say again, over.


*'''Chapman''': "Iron Fist, This is Gamma-One Actual. Three [[Covenant cruiser]]s just dropped out of cloud directly above us, holding at approximately twenty thousand feet, traveling due east at approximately three hundred knots - three-zero-zero knots!"
*'''Gamma 1''': Iron Fist, This is Gamma 1 Actual. Three Covenant [[Covenant Cruiser|cruisers]] just dropped out of cloak directly above us, holding at approximately twenty thousand feet traveling due east at approximately three hundred knots, three-zero-zero knots!


*'''Iron Fist''': "Visual confirmed, Gamma-One. They just passed within 50 meters of our bird."
*'''Iron Fist''': Visual confirm, Gamma 1. They just passed within 50 meters of our bird.


*'''Iron Fist''': "Go NOA and punch it, there's still a chance that we can pull Beta outta there."
*'''Iron Fist''': Go NOA, and punch it, there's still a chance we can pull Beta outta there.


*'''Chapman''': "Wait, you're not thinking of heading ''into'' that mess, are you?"

===ONI conversations===
===Boneyard===
The following two conversations are apparently linked, featuring the same two characters discussing Dr. [[Catherine Halsey]] and the secrecy surrounding her work.
Radio is located in the north-east corner of the map (area labeled 'Junkyard'), inside the temporary prefab building next to a rock wall.
 
====Glacier====
The radio is on the ground immediately to the right of the back door (and exit from the spawn point) as one exits from it.

*'''Joe''': "I swear, you're pathological about entering places through their [[Wikipedia:HVAC|HVAC systems]]."


*'''Unknown''': "Ha ha ha."
*'''Gamma 1''': Gamma 5, holy crap, [[Buckman]], d'you see that?


*'''Joe''': "There's still three friendlies registering with the security system."
*'''Gamma 5''': See it? Felt that in my damn chest. Whoever pulled that trigger wanted those sons-of-bitches dead.


*'''Unknown''': "Yeah. They got names?"
*'''Gamma 1''': Can't believe we just walked outta that crater. We gotta be the two luckiest bastards on this whole planet.


*'''Joe''': "Kinda. Chump One, Chump Two, and [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, Ph.D]]."
*'''Gamma 5''': Luck ain't got nothing to do with it, [[Jake Chapman|Jake]].


*'''Unknown''': "Crap. You got lifesigns, or...?"
*'''Gamma 1''': Think anybody could have survived that?


*'''Joe''': "I got a bunch of noise, is what I got."
*'''Gamma 5''': You mean Beta Red? They say Spartans never die, but I don't think anything lived through that.


*'''Unknown''': "Yeah?"
*'''Gamma 1''': Damn, whole lotta real estate burning down there. Won't be much left once this is all said and done.


*'''Joe''': "What I don't have is her exiting through a secure checkpoint."
*'''Gamma 5''': Here we are, hightailing it to anywhere else. Doesn't seem right.


*'''Unknown''': "So it may just be her badge, right?"
*'''Gamma 1''': Well, pretty soon won't ''be'' any place else to run to. What's next, [[Earth]]?


*'''Joe''': "And if she's actually down there?"
*'''Gamma 5''': Jake, anyone tell you you talk too damn much?


*'''Unknown''': "Gotta figure she's either dead, or is refusing to leave her most recent pet project."
*'''Gamma 1''': All the time. What the hell else was there to do on Reach besides chase pioneer girls?


*'''Joe''': "Well I ain't carrying her narrow ass outta here."
*'''Gamma 5''': Now there's nothing. Now there's nothing at all. Five out.


*'''Unknown''': "Neither am I. Either she's dead, and it ain't gonna matter. Or she's alive, and can't interfere with the op."
[loops]

*'''Joe''': "Yeah?"
===Courtyard===
The firefight map, [[Courtyard]], contains a conversation between two UNSC personnel, "[[Dragon X-ray]]" and "[[Blue-Delta]]".<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H82rzf1LmSc '''Youtube''': ''Overlook Radio Conversations'']</ref> The conversation can be heard from a radio that is located at the bottom of the ramp that leads out of Sword Base (area labeled 'Bend'), to the west side of the exit on a concrete ledge.


*'''Unknown''': "If she's alive, I say whoever finds her puts two in her head, tosses the body in a rigid container of [[thermite grenade|thermite 'nades]] and pulls the pin. You ain't even pulling recognizable teeth out of that mess. Clean."
Dragon X-ray is the radioman of an unidentified UNSC ground asset radios in Blue-Delta, who appears to be associated with [[UNSC High Command|HIGHCOM]]. Blue-Delta warns X-ray that his unit is the only UNSC asset in the area, meaning that any support will take time to arrive.


*'''Joe''': "Harsh. We could just strap her to one of these [[Fury tactical nuclear weapon|Mike Foxtrot Delta Deltas]]."
X-ray is unable to hear Blue-Delta's response due to [[Covenant Empire|enemy]] movement, to which Blue-Delta warns him again. X-ray acknowledges receiving the warning and reports movement again and requests for support to "soften them up". After being asked for the location of the enemy forces, Dragon X-ray responds and gives him the grid co-ordinates.


*'''Unknown''': "Sounds like we got a plan."
Requesting for support again, Blue-Delta tells Dragon X-ray that there is no available support in any way apart from the {{UNSCship|Aegis Fate}}. Inquiring over whether the ''Aegis Fate'' is a space-borne or an ocean-borne vessel ("Exo" or "Wet Navy"). Blue-Delta answers that the ''Aegis Fate'' is 'currently' a [[UNSC Frigate|Frigate]]-designated "Exo-asset". Dragon X-ray receives this information, and says they did not require that much assistance.


[loops]  
The conversation ends when Dragon X-ray reports being less than a [[klick]] away from the objective. Blue-Delta wishes him good luck.

'''Dragon X-ray''': "Blue Delta, this is Dragon X-ray. We are on the ground and three Mikes out from the objective. Over."
 
*'''Unknown''': "For Pete's sake."
 
*'''Joe''': "What?"
 
*'''Unknown''': "You really love the idea that you're deep in the cloak-and-dagger BS, don't you? This is not a clandestine meeting, Joe, we're pulling everyone out because the planet is burning."
 
*'''Joe''': "Oh my god..."
 
*'''Unknown''': "If it'll help keep your mind off it, you can tell me what you've got."

*'''Unknown''': "So it's a pretty big deal, huh? Any idea who the donor was?"

*'''Unknown''': "Ha ha."
 
*'''Joe''': "And typical of her work ethic, she's given it total access to everything. It can bi-locate as well."
 
*'''Unknown''': "What do you mean?"
 
*'''Joe''': "It can be in multiple places at the same time. Maybe multi-locate would be a more accurate term."
 
*'''Unknown''': "Like a waldo? What use is-"


*'''Joe''': "No, as a duplicate - capable of independent action. I've never seen it work in concert with itself, so I'm not sure if there's some technical issue with that, or..."
'''Blue-Delta''': "Dragon X-ray, be advised that you are the only UNSC ground asset in that grid."
-----
'''Dragon X-ray''': "Say again, Blue Delta. We've got movement due east. That should be strike red. Over."  


*'''Unknown''': "So maybe a safety issue? Or, just, you never saw it happen."

-----
'''Dragon X-ray''': "Roger, Blue Delta. We're picking up that movement again due east. You got something to soften it up?"


*'''Joe''': "Technical issue. Something that would make doing it impossible. A safety issue wouldn't stop Halsey."
'''Blue-Delta''': "You got a location, Dragon X-ray?"
-----
'''Dragon X-ray''': "Grid as follows: Whiskey-Delta-One-Five-Seven-Four-One-Seven-One-Two, Over."


*'''Unknown''': "Yeah, I guess not. You know what, let's get the hell outta here.
'''Blue-Delta''': "I copy Whiskey-Delta-One-Five-Seven-Four-One-Seven-One-Two."
-----
'''Dragon X-ray''': "That is correct. Request immediate support from any assets on-station. Over."


*'''Joe''': "Isn't that what we were doing?
'''Blue-Delta''': "Dragon X-ray, it looks like all I've got available at this time is the UNSC ''Aegis Fate''."
-----
'''Dragon X-ray''': "Blue Delta, is the ''Aegis Fate'' 'wet Navy'?"


*'''Unknown''': "Sure, let's just keep moving.
'''Blue-Delta''': "Negative, Dragon. She's currently listed as an exo-asset; a frigate."
-----
'''Dragon X-ray''': "Whoa! We are less than a klick from the target area, Blue Delta. We ain't that desperate for help."


[loops]
'''Blue-Delta''': "Understood, Dragon X-ray. Give 'em hell out there, and good luck."

*'''?''': "Charlie Alpha-Alpha, just let the wing dissipate."
[1] So, uh.


*'''Charlie Alpha-Alpha''': "Well, any much longer and they're gonna burn it right to the ground!"
[2] Come on, spit it out.


*'''?''': "Then make 'em work for it! But you push into that wash and it's guaranteed suicide."
[1] You, uh, got a zombie plan?


*'''Charlie Alpha-Alpha''': "At this rate, we'll be lucky if we even get half of our people back to the [[Inner Colonies]]!
[2] Hell yeah.


*'''?''': "[[Romeo-Delta-230|Delta-Romeo 230]], you're clear all the way out to Superior Jump. Suggest you get your bearings and then go dark 'til you're 1,500 kilos out."
[1] Yeah? Maybe we could exchange notes.


*'''?''': "Charlie Alpha-Alpha, taxi to Runway 22. Hold short."
[2] Well, uh, I dunno man. Zombie plans are kinda... deeply personal things.


*'''[[Charlie Alpha-Alpha]]''': "Roger, taxi to Runway 22."
[1] Well, I'm just saying, it's just, I got all these things in my mind, you know, and getting 'em out in the open really helps for building up (???) in my head.


*'''?''': "Charlie Alpha-Alpha, you are clear for take-off."
[2] Makes sense.


*'''Charlie Alpha-Alpha''': "Roger, clear for take-off."
[1] Okay.


*'''?''': "We're not even gonna get 2% of the population off of this rock."
[2] Huh. So, zombies can still hear and stuff, so that makes guns a weapon of last resort, right?


*'''Charlie Alpha-Alpha''': "That's pretty bleak..."
[1] Yeah, yeah, guns all fire ammo, too.


*'''?''': "I've got a pretty good idea how this is gonna end, but I'm going out on my terms, not theirs."
[2] Exactly. So I was thinking that, hey, what is a weapon that'll keep them out of grabbing range, AND won't run out of ammo? A  spear.


*'''?''': "Charlie Alpha-Alpha, you're clear all the way out. Go dark and fly visual 'til you are 1,500 kilos from [[Superior Tower]]. Godspeed."
[1] Hold up.

[2] What?

====Beachhead====
[1] Now, see, this is workin' already.
The radio is on a bench in a room in the "Pavilion" area that overlooks the south-west section of the map. It is located near the spawn area and is the room that contains the missile launch control in the campaign.
{|cellspacing="3" valign="top" width="100%"
|class="Box 2" style="border:1px solid #000066; padding: .5em 1em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #f0f0ff"|
*'''[1]''': "I need to know where I can send these people to!"


*'''[2]''': "You yelling in my ear isn't helping me find solutions any faster."
[2] Huh?
----
*'''[1]''': "The evac stations in [[Manassas]] and [[Esztergom|Ezhtergom]] are no longer responding. They haven't been for..."


*'''[2]''': ''(fading in)'' "I'm doing what I can here... The closest evac station to you is - crap."
[1] Spear! I thought so too at one time, but the possibility of getting it stuck in the brainpan of a walking corpse is very real.


*'''[1]''': "What?"
[2] Oh yeah, you're right. Man, I hadn't thought about that. Well, uh...


*'''[2]''': "Never mind, I'm looking for another one."
[1] Ball-peen hammer.
----
*'''[2]''': "Just, if you can, get your people into whatever vehicles you have over there, and..."


*'''[1]''': "What are you talkin' about? ''(static)'' Whoa? What was-"
[2] But, you'd have to get right up on top of the zombie to use it, man.


*'''[2]''': "That was a shockwave. Look, you should load all of your people and just start heading West as fast as you can. I'll keep looking for-"
[1] Yeah, so if I'm the one running around killing zombies, man?


*'''[1]''': "This isn't a portable unit! I don't have any way to get back in contact with you."
[2] What?
----
*'''[2]''': "Look, I'm sending this over the IMF. It's the number to my personal chatter. Call me when you get everyone moving."


*'''[1]''': "Oh, God, thank you!"
[1] A single charged blow to the head would drop most zombies. It'd work on cheetahs, too.


*'''[2]''': "It's not over yet. I still need to find you a way off this rock."
[2] What the... There aren't cheetahs on Reach. Anyway, we should probably be working the kinks out of our alien invasion plan first. Aliens are smarter, faster, and more technologically advanced than zombies. They're also here. Zombies, not so much.


*'''[1]''': "Thank you, thank you!"
[1] When in doubt(?), you're reaching in a place no self-respecting Marine would spend any amount of time.

*'''[2]''': Yeah, yeah, yeah. What's the situation at the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|spook house]]?
 
*'''[1]''': Your [[James Ackerson|older brother]]'s [[SPARTAN-III program|pals]] are back in town by the truck-load.
 
*'''[2]''': *sigh* I didn't know he had so many friends.
----
*'''[1]''': Well he does, but seeing how much he likes talking them up, you'd think he'd be more forthcoming with their actual numbers. What took you so long?
----
*'''[2]''': I believe your older brother's been hittin' the bottle again.
 
*'''[1]''': Why's that?
 
*'''[2]''': He broke my cousin's radio and pulled the phone outta the wall.
----
*'''[1]''': You know, I've been saying this for more than a year now: I get the feeling he's gonna chase [[Michael Stanforth|dear old dad]] outta his own home again and slap together another spook house in the back yard.
 
*'''[2]''': Dammit, he's been spending so much time with the Doc, it does seem like the perfect time for tricks and treats.
----
*'''[1]''': Well I hope your cousin isn't going be too disappointed, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Halloween may have to be postponed.
 
*'''[2]''': Yeah, just so long as we don't have to cancel Christmas.

Well, cousins, the gig is finally up. As an indication of how serious this is, I'm broadcasting to you over an open, unencrypted channel.
 
Once I'm done, I'm gonna loop it and split. There's no sense sticking around here yapping any longer than's neccessary.


*'''[[Blue-Delta]]''': "Dragon X-ray, be advised that you are the only UNSC ground asset in that grid."
I saw a for sale sign go up in the front yard of your dad's place, but your older brother didn't put it there. Some out of towners might have.
----
*'''Dragon X-ray''': "Say again, Blue-Delta. We've got movement due east. That should be Strike Red, over."


*'''Blue-Delta''': "That's a negative, Dragon X-ray. I say again; be advised that you are the only UNSC asset in that area."
What house can we go to now? There's nothing but absolute destruction. These folks don't do things by half-measures.
----
*'''Dragon X-ray''': "Roger, Blue-Delta. We're picking up that movement again due east. You got something to soften it up?"


*'''Blue-Delta''': "You got a location, Dragon X-ray?"
They aim to kill us all, burn our cities and leave [[Reach]] as one more burned-out rock spinning in the darkness.

*'''Blue-Delta''': "Roger, I copy: Whiskey-Delta one-five-seven-four-one-seven-one-two."
And they're gonna do it too. Nothing you or me can do to stop them. They've done it plenty of times before.
----
*'''Dragon X-ray''': "That's correct. Request immediate support from any assets on-station."


*'''Blue-Delta''': "Dragon X-ray, it looks like all I've got available at this time is the {{UNSCShip|Aegis Fate}}."
They've bloodied our noses at [[Harvest]], at [[Madrigal]], at [[Miridem]], but this time it's gonna cost them. This time they're gonna jerk back a bloody stump.
----
*'''Dragon X-ray''': "Blue-Delta, is the ''Aegis Fate'' 'wet Navy'?"


*'''Blue-Delta''': "Negative, Dragon. She's currently listed as an exo-asset; a [[UNSC frigate|frigate]]."
There's no two ways about this. It's gonna be a nightmare. The heavens are gonna burn, and the earth is going to tremble beneath our feet.
----
*'''Dragon X-ray''': "Whoa! We are less than a klick from the target area, Blue-Delta. We ain't that desperate for help."


*'''Blue-Delta''': "Understood, Dragon X-ray. Give 'em hell out there, and good luck, out."
They're gonna rain death and destruction upon our heads, but we're not gonna give up a single damn inch of dirt without a fight.

*'''[1]''': "A single charged blow to the head would drop most zombies. It'd work on cheetahs, too."
[1] Isn't that what we were doing?


*'''[2]''': "What the... There aren't cheetahs on Reach. Anyway, we should probably be working the kinks out of our alien invasion plan first. Aliens are smarter, faster, and more technically advanced than zombies. They're also here. Zombies, not so much."
[2] Sure, let's just keep moving.

====Overlook====
===Glacier===
The radio is located on the top floor of the large two story building (in the "Barn High" area) across from a pair of blue water drums.
Note: the voices in this conversation is the same as Outpost.

[1] I swear, you're pathological about entering places through the HVAC system.


*'''[1]''': "Do you think the [[UNSC Army|Army]] showing up in [[Pálháza]] is connected to the [[Visegrád Relay|Visegrad hub]] going down?"
[2]
 
*'''[2]''': "Well, newsfeed says it was Insurrectionists. But if you're looking to make a statement, why hit a remote place like Visegrad?"


*'''[1]''': "You think it was UNSC goons? Like, maybe they found out the [[Insurrectionist#Trivia|URF]] was running a pirate station out of the Visegrad hub?"
[1] There's still three friendlies registering with the security system.


*'''[2]''': "If that was the case, why blame the outage on an Innie success? Why not apologize for a temporary outage and play up the futility of resistance?"
[2] Yeah. They got names?


*'''[1]''': "Well, what do you think it is, then? If it ain't the Innies, and the UNSC isn't spinning it..."
[1] Kinda. Chump One, Chump Two, and [[Catherine Elizabeth Halsey|Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, Ph.D]].


*'''[2]''': "Nah, brother, don't even say it."
[2] You got lifesigns, or?


*'''[1]''': I'm just saying we should be prepared for the worst, is all. We should—"
[1] I got a bunch of noise, is what I got.


*'''[2]''': "So you think the next logical step here is ''Covenant invasion''? Those guys blow up planets, not shut down local carrier hubs."
[2] Yeah?


*'''[1]''': "Visegrad isn't ''just'' a [[Communication relay|local carrier hub]], though. It's one of the three hubs that connects the northern Alföld with the main complex down south, and thus the rest of the colonies."
[1] What I don't have is her exiting through a secure checkpoint.


*'''[2]''': "Okay..."
[2] So it may just be her badge, right?


*'''[1]''': "I'm saying this is either a very ballsy and strategically-sound move on the Innies part, and we are in the middle of a ''coup d'etat''..."
[1] And if she's actually down there?


*'''[2]''': "Or?"
[2] She's either dead, or is refusing to leave her most recent pet project.


*'''[1]''': "Or the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] is here and it's already too late."
[1] I'm not carrying her narrow ass outta here.
|}


====Tempest====
[2] Neither am I. Either she's dead, and it ain't gonna matter, or she's alive and can't interfere with the op.
The radio can be found under the downed UNSC [[GA-TL1 Longsword|Longsword]] on the beach.

|class="Box 2" style="border:1px solid #000066; padding: .5em 1em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #f0f0ff"|
*'''[[Revis]]''': "Just who in the hell ''made'' this [[Halo Array|thing]], Lieutenant? Huh? Who?"


*'''[[Unidentified Lieutenant (Tempest)|Lieutenant]]''': "Knowing who made it doesn't help us, Revis. We gotta figure out ''how'' they made it, and how it ''works''."
[1] Yeah?


*'''Revis''': "Well... Not "us" us, right?"
[2] If she's alive, I say whoever finds her puts two in her head, then dumps the body in a rigid container of thermite 'nades and pulls the pin. See if they pull any recognizable teeth out of that mess.


*'''Lieutenant''': "Yeah, premo. Probably not "us" us."
[1] Harsh. We could just strap her to one of these [[Medium Fusion Destructive Device|Mike Foxtrot Delta Deltas]].


*'''Revis''': "Even if we box everything up in this place, hell, if we drove the whole damn thing back to [[Earth]]—"
[2] Sounds like we got a plan.
 
*'''Lieutenant''': "I never figured you for a pessimist, Revis. Money and time, that's all it'll take. Money and time."
 
*'''Revis''': "Money we got, but time is something we can't count on. Oh yeah, and brains might help too."
*'''Lieutenant''': "Don't worry, we got the brainpower."
 
*'''Revis''': "You figure the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] eggheads are gonna be able to figure this all out? And quick enough for it to matter?"
 
*'''Lieutenant''': "They gotta. If they can't, we're kinda screwed."
 
*'''Revis''': ''(chuckles)'' "Ha, and ''I'm'' the pessimist."

====Waterfront====
The radio is to the right of the gate at the end of the road (area labeled "Road") that leads out of the pumping station.
{|cellspacing="3" valign="top" width="100%"
|class="Box 2" style="border:1px solid #000066; padding: .5em 1em 1em; color: #000; background-color: #f0f0ff"|
"Well, cousins, the gig is finally up. As an indication of how serious this is, I'm broadcasting to you over an open, unencrypted channel.
 
When I'm done, I'm gonna loop it and split. There's no sense sticking around here yapping any longer than 'tis necessary.
 
I saw a "for sale" sign go up in the front yard of your dad's place, but your older brother didn't put it there. [[Covenant|Some out-of-towners]] might have.
 
What you've got to look forward to now is nothing less than absolute destruction. These folks don't do things by half-measures.
 
They aim to kill us all, burn our cities and leave [[Reach]] as one more burned-out rock spinning in the darkness.
 
And they're gonna do it too. Nothing that you and me can do to stop them. They've done it plenty of times before.
 
They've bloodied our noses at [[Harvest]], at [[Madrigal]], at [[Miridem]], but this time it's gonna cost them. This time they're gonna jerk back a bloody stump.
 
There's no two ways about this. It's gonna be a nightmare. The heavens are gonna burn, and the ground is going to tremble beneath our feet.
 
They're gonna rain death and destruction down on our heads, but we're not gonna give up a single damn inch of dirt without a fight.
 
And they're gonna get their full measure of nightmare, too. And when I see 'em, I'm gonna tell 'em - Welcome to the nightmare, you sons of bitches. Welcome to Reach."
