You are located within a secure naval intelligence facility. Locke has tasked you with evaluating potential vulnerabilities of Mjolnir combat armor, exploring the hypothetical scenario of having to neutralize a [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan-II]] asset. This includes initiating the armor, manipulating the 49 pieces of its circuitry, then ascertaining its weakness by calibrating the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI]] firmware. | You are located within a secure naval intelligence facility.

You've reached the end, but it's just the beginning. The mysterious [[Forerunner]] signal was originating from a remote location. The source: this alone symbol, was from violent seismic activity on a remote human colony. You've hunted the signal's source, so the ONI can now investigate. Your endeavour has brought us one step closer to the truth. | You've reached the end, but it's just the beginning. The mysterious [[Forerunner]] signal was originating from a remote location.
