In case you couldn't tell, the letter on the next page was written by a UNSC committee that still thinks of the Spartans as a Navy project, and not their own branch. Well, they wrote it and my bosses (in a fit of "play nice with the rest of the UNSC") made me sign it. But what the committee and my bosses didn't do was ship the thing out, leaving me the opportunity to add my own coda. So here it is: there are a lot of asses that need kicking in this galaxy, and the Spartans are the ones who are going to do the largest share. The only thing keeping humanity afloat most days is you and yours, Spartan. My advice: Do your job. Do it well. Come back home in one piece so we can do it all again tomorrow. | In case you couldn't tell, the letter on the next page was written by a UNSC committee that still thinks of the Spartans as a Navy project, and not their own branch.

The UNSC ''Infinity'' offers a tremendous selection of weapons to develop a productive and efficient field kit for all S-IV personnel. Your familiarity with this selection should already be extensive but Section IX, Article 3940.2 of the [[United Earth Government]]'s [[Full Disclosure Directive]] requires that this information be included as part of your integration into an S-IV service role onboard Infinity. | The UNSC ''Infinity'' offers a tremendous selection of weapons to develop a productive and efficient field kit for all S-IV personnel.

I realize this is an awkward note. We're both old and wise enough to know there's no love lost between us, but I do know that, differences aside, you do care about our success. I also realize you're not here under ideal conditions. You should accept both the reasoning behind and, bluntly, your own responsibility, for this matter. | I realize this is an awkward note.

With brute force, with massive firepower, and with unflinching, unyielding ferocity. <br /> | |||

in the history of human endeavor. We pulled it together in utter darkness from rock and iron and ice. It simply couldn't have been built in any other way. The tonnage alone would have beggared mountains on <<REDACTED>>. <br /> | |||
But out there, where the Sun's wan light is as frozen and distant and pale as a specter, we lit our last torch. Our final hope. A starship, <<REDACTED>> miles long. More powerful, deadlier than anything we, or the Covenant, could make spaceworthy. | But out there, where the Sun's wan light is as frozen and distant and pale as a specter, we lit our last torch.

Of course, the Spartans, or more accurately, <<REDACTED>>, saved us. And your agency in this is not unappreciated - in some circles. They stopped the war before the <<REDACTED>> was complete. The brief moments of peace we had were not wasted. Some of us knew this couldn't last. So we kept going.

But things have changed. We are not fighting the kind of war we all lived through. So <<REDACTED>> has become something new. It has become a missive we fire out into the Universe that will give our enemies a simple warning: we are not afraid. We will not shrink from battle. We will not be cowed. We will meet force with greater force. We are Humanity. And we are ascendant. | But things have changed. We are not fighting the kind of war we all lived through.

The engines work because you <<REDACTED>>. The <<REDACTED>> was completed because of your research. But this is bigger than you. Bigger than us. I have no right to ask anything of you on a personal level, so I am appealing to you on a professional level. | The engines work because you <<REDACTED>>.
