| *'''Roland''': "Can I ask you a question, doc? What were you hoping to achieve with your little subterfuge? I mean, Captain Lasky put a lot of faith in you."
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Yes, his hospitality speaks wonders."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "C'mon on, doc. What has keeping secrets ever really gained you?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "What is hidden can be useful."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Such as?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Such as the phrase ''<nowiki>'undid-iridium'</nowiki>''."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Un-un-did-did-un-did-did-undid-un-did-"
| |
| | |
| ''Roland's hologram rapidly flickers, then settles. The AI looks up at Halsey with an expression of blank obedience.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "UNSC A.I. overide instructions active, Doctor Catherine Halsey."
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Roland, tell the guards outside that Captain Lasky has requested my presence in his ready room and block all further communications."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Yes."
| |
| | |
| ''Two Marines open the cell door, and gesture for Halsey to exit.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Marine''': "Captain asked to see you, doctor."
| |
| | |
| ''Halsey steps out of the cell and is escorted down the hall with them. Fade to black.''
| |
| | |
| {{Center|'''HALO: INFINITY'''}} | |
| | |
| ''Fade in to Lasky's office, where Halsey was previously interrogated. Halsey is escorted inside.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Marine''': "Have a seat, doctor."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Thank you, gentlemen. You may go."
| |
| | |
| ''The two Marines look at each other as if suspicious of the order, but agree and step out. Halsey walks to the room's large screen.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Roland, give me full access to this terminal."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Yes, Doctor Catherine Halsey."
| |
| | |
| ''The screen activates. Halsey presses several buttons on it and brings up images of [[Jul 'Mdama]].''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "The Didact's Hand. If people would just share things with me I could solve all the world's problems. Send everything the UNSC has on the [[Librarian]] to my [[data pad]]."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Yes, Doctor Catherine Halsey."
| |
| | |
| ''Halsey examines the sent info on her data pad.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "This is all my own research! I need new information. Anything that has been ''kept from me''."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Only one data point exists that is not your own research. Debriefing of [[Master Chief Petty Officer]] [[John-117|SPARTAN-117]] [[New Phoenix Incident|post-New Phoenix Incident]]."
| |
| | |
| ''Halsey turns at the mention of John-117 and gasps in shock.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "John?! I..."
| |
| | |
| ''Halsey spends a long moment in shock, but slowly regains her composure. She breathes deeply and looks determinedly ahead.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Roland, prep a Pelican for immediate launch. And patch this terminal into the comm systems infiltrated by the artifact."
| |
| | |
| ''Roland's avatar flickers, and the AI regains control of himself.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Doc! Whatever you did to me- aaugh..."
| |
| | |
| ''Roland calms down and resumes obedience.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Yes, Doctor Catherine Halsey."
| |
| | |
| ''Cut to Mdama's terminal. The Sangheili observes Halsey appearing in it.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Jul 'Mdama."
| |
| | |
| *''''Mdama''': (''Sangheili'') "You... are Catherine Halsey?"
| |
| | |
| ''Cut to Halsey's room, where she speaks to 'Mdama's image on the screen.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "We have played your game quite long enough and we are both out of time. In our previous conversation you mentioned 'assistance'."
| |
| | |
| *''''Mdama''': (''Sangheili'') "How do you know...?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Who but the Didact's Hand could offer me a Promethean soul?"
| |
| | |
| *''''Mdama''': (''Sangheili'') "What is it that you want?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "What we both want, Jul: Librarian. A powerful name for me as well as you. Librarian was very fond of humans. Did you know that?"
| |
| | |
| ''Behind her, Roland splits into two avatars. A flickering weak red Roland is pushed away by a strong green Roland, then is grabbed and swallowed up again. Roland regains control of himself.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Yeah! That was a dirty trick, doc!"
| |
| | |
| ''Roland snaps his fingers and the comm screen goes black.
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "My turn now!"
| |
| | |
| ''Roland opens the office's door. The two Marines return inside, guns raised.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Marine''': "Stay right where you are, doctor!"
| |
| | |
| ''Cut to Captain Lasky, escorted by Marines to re-meet Dr. Halsey.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Doctor Halsey. I've underestimated you long enough. A cryo-tube should hold you unt-"
| |
| | |
| ''Halsey walks up to Lasky and slaps him.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "John's alive! He was here, on this ship. Nobody told me he was alive!"
| |
| | |
| ''Alarms in the hallway go off. Cut to ''Infinity''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s hangar. Marines open fire on [[Promethean Knight]]s that are phasing aboard ''Infinity''.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Marine''': "They're everywhere!"
| |
| | |
| ''The Marines return fire, but some are shot down. [[Sarah Palmer]] leads the defense with a pair of [[M6H Personal Defense Weapon System|M6H pistols]].
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': "Hold the line! Nothing gets past!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky (COM)''': "Commander Palmer, report!"
| |
| | |
| ''A Promethean slashes a Marine with its sword arm.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': "Kind of busy, Captain!"
| |
| | |
| ''More and more Prometheans rush into the attack. Palmer picks them off with her pistol. A Promethean Knight appears behind Palmer, but she punches it and kills it with a headshot. Once it disintegrates, she returns to picking off those in front of her.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': "Knights are phasing through the artifact!"
| |
| | |
| ''Cut back to Lasky and Halsey in the hallway.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer (COM)''': "Don't worry, we'll keep them contained in the hangar."
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Too late, they're here too!"
| |
| | |
| ''Prometheans fire down the hallway. A Marine is shot and falls backward on top of Halsey. A second Marine in front of Lasky is killed, but he manages to set down the body and take the Marine's shotgun.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Halsey!"
| |
| | |
| ''Lasky leaps to defend her with an [[M45 Tactical Shotgun#M45D Tactical Shotgun|M45 Shotgun]]. He kicks the Knight standing above her, and blasts it in the chest. Lasky pulls Halsey to safety as the Knight disintegrates.
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Come on! Doctor!"
| |
| | |
| ''A third Marine covers for them but is quickly killed. The two hide behind a corner and Lasky speaks the ship's public comm on the wall.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Captain Lasky to all hands, battlestations! This is not a drill!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Lasky!"
| |
| | |
| ''Lasky pumps his shotgun. Promethean Knights flare their skulls at Lasky and Halsey. Cut to black.''

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *In the opening cinematic, a Marine yells, ''"They're everywhere!"''; this is a notorious line spoken by the BoBs in the original ''[[Marathon]]''. However, ''Marathon'' is owned by [[Bungie]], not [[343 Industries]], so it is more likely a coincidence rather than a [[List of Marathon references in the Halo series|deliberate reference]].
| | In the opening cinematic, a Marine could be heard saying "They're everywhere!" This is likely a homage to a famous quote from [[Bungie]]'s game ''Marathon''. |
| *''Invasion'' is the only episode that does not feature [[Fireteam Majestic]] in the opening cinematic.
