| |
| | |
| ''Grant, Madsen and [[Gabriel Thorne|Thorne]] take cover, checking around.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Grant''': "Just had to open your big mouth again, Madsen."
| |
| | |
| *'''Madsen''': "We're not dead yet, Grant."
| |
| | |
| ''Another cannon blast barely misses them.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Grant''': "Yet?"
| |
| | |
| *'''DeMarco''': "Regroup on me!"
| |
| | |
| ''The three move. As another cannon fires, Grant rolls out of the blast into the building but Madsen and Thorne are still out.''
| |

| *'''DeMarco''': "Thorne, Madsen, move it!"
| |
| | |

| | |
| *'''Thorne''': "Anti-air's down!"
| |
| | |
| *'''DeMarco''': "Yes Thorne, I've noticed!"
| |
| | |
| ''As Majestic looks on, a [[Ru'swum-pattern Phantom|Phantom]] and a couple of [[Type-26 Banshee|Banshees]] block their way to the Pelican.''
| |
| | |
| *'''DeMarco''': "Alright Spartans, we're packing up this picnic. Everybody, get to the Pelican! Let's move!"
| |
| | |
| ''DeMarco proceeds to move towards the Pelican but Madsen reaches out and stops him.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Madsen''': "Hey, hey, hey, woah, woah, woah!! We try to fly, we're dead!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Thorne''': "Hoya."
| |
| | |
| *'''Hoya''': "Yeah?"
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne hands the "[[Didact's Gift]]" over to Hoya.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Thorne''': "Take this. Prep for lift-off. I've got an idea."
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne gets up and runs from the group.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Madsen''': "Uhh?"
| |
| | |
| *'''DeMarco''': "Thorne, get back here!! That's an order!!!"
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne runs over to the building ledge and jumps to [[Boarding (gameplay mechanic)|catch]] a Banshee flying between the canal.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Grant''': "We've got this, just go!"
| |
| | |
| ''The rest of Majestic squad get up to run towards the Pelican while Thorne appears in the Banshee saluting the team. The view switches to a cliff side overlooking the base. The Phantom immediately explodes, crashing to the ground. [[Gek 'Lhar]] approaches Jul 'Mdama who is monitoring the activity.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Gek 'Lhar''': "Shipmaster 'Mdama! The humans have their prize! They are near escape!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Jul 'Mdama''': "Let them, Gek."
| |
| | |
| *'''Gek 'Lhar''': "They carry the soul of a Promethean Knight!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Jul 'Mdama''': "And we have made enough of a display trying to retrieve it."
| |
| | |
| ''Cut to black.''
| |
| | |
| {{Center|'''HALO: INFINITY}} | |
| | |
| ''The view cuts to the package sitting on a table as [[Catherine Halsey|Dr. Catherine Halsey]] examines it.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Taking a reading."
| |
| | |
| ''The package burst open and the cover pieces float mid-air.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Oh my..."
| |
| | |
| ''Cut to Lasky who is looking inside the laboratory from outside.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Doctor!"
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "A moment please."
| |
| | |
| ''Dr. Halsey taps one of the floating pieces with her pen.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Intriguing."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Doc, this thing looks... kinda familiar."
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Yes. It's very similar to an [[Riemann matrix|A.I. Matrix]]. But we expected that..."
| |
| | |
| ''As Dr. Halsey takes a closer look at the device, which releases an energy burst.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Woah!"
| |
| | |
| ''Dr. Halsey falls to her back as the energy released from the device disrupts the surrounding lights and monitors.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Dr. Halsey!"
| |
| | |
| ''Lasky, Palmer, and Majestic squad rush into the room to help Halsey who pick herself up.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Roland, freeze all monitors!"
| |
| | |
| ''All the monitors freeze frame showing pictures of scenery.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Pictures?"
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne approaches one of the pictures which shows several buildings.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Civilian life. Maybe a colony or something."
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Not pictures...memories."
| |
| | |
| ''Halsey turns around to look at the device.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "An alien A.I. full of human memories."
| |
| | |
| *'''Thorne''': "That's [[New Phoenix]]."
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne turns around to face the group.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Thorne''': "I grew up there."
| |
| | |
| *'''Roland''': "Nah. That can't be right."
| |
| | |
| ''Lasky and Palmer exchange looks.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "You knew this, didn't you, Captain Lasky."
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "The UNSC is aware that Prometheans are ancient humans."
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "That is not ancient. That is the [[New Phoenix Incident|attack on Earth from six months ago]]."
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne turns around to face another monitor which shows the [[Requiem slipspace artifacts|mysterious Forerunner artifact]].''
| |
| | |
| *'''Thorne''': "You knew."
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "This is impossible, I...I have no idea how the hell these memories got from Earth to here."
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne briefly looks at Lasky before storming out the room.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': "Thorne."
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne ignores Palmer and leaves the room. Dr. Halsey turns to look at the monitor he last observed.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "What is it, doctor?"
| |
| | |
| ''Halsey also sees the artifact. Cut to the artifact. Lasky, Palmer, and Halsey (who is holding her datapad) proceed towards the artifact.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "I suspect we misunderstood the artifact's true purpose."
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "And that is?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "I'm working on it."
| |
| | |
| ''Lasky and Palmer stop as Halsey walks closer to the artifact. The view cuts to a blue orb which shows Halsey typing on her datapad. Cut back to Halsey looking down at her datapad.''
| |
| | |

| |
| >>'''</TT>
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': "It's amusing to see you not have the answer to everything, for once."
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "Enough has been kept from me. I've decided to start questioning all my prior assumptions."
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Doctor, this is as much a surprise to us as it is to you."
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "I suspect that's a lie, Captain."
| |
| | |
| ''Cut back to the blue orb. Jul 'Mdama is seen talking to it revealing that he is the unidentified individual that Halsey was communicating with.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Jul 'Mdama''': "So perhaps we can assist one another. You are familiar with the [[Librarian]]?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "The Librarian?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Doctor?"
| |
| | |
| ''Palmer walks over to Dr. Halsey and snatches the datapad out of her hand.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': "What are you really doing?"
| |
| | |
| ''Halsey attempts to get it back but Palmer holds her back. Palmer takes a look at the datapad.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': "Who are you talking to?"
| |
| | |
| ''Palmer tosses the datapad towards Lasky who catches it.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Halsey''': "You rude-"
| |
| | |
| ''Palmer takes out her magnum and points it at Halsey's head.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Palmer''': "You want rude?"
| |
| | |
| ''Lasky scrolls through the datapad with a pin.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Lasky''': "Palmer, take Dr. Halsey into custody."
| |
| | |
| ''Cut back to the view screen. Jul 'Mdama observes Palmer taking Halsey away. Suddenly something activates in the background. Jul turns around.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Glassman''': "Haha! It works!"
| |
| | |
| ''Glassman activates the shrine which now has a blue sphere around it. All the Sangheili including Gek proceed to bow.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Jul 'Mdama''': "Glassman?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Glassman''': "Well at least...something... works."
| |
| | |
| ''Jul 'Mdama stands next to Glassman and both individuals continue to observe the shrine. Cut to Thorne who is walking towards the artifact on ''Infinity''.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Thorne''': "Why did those people see you?"
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne touches the artifact which activates. A portal appears on the artifact.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Thorne''': "What?"
| |
| | |
| ''Thorne turns to escape, but he is sucked into the artifact. The artifact translocates Thorne to "[[the Cauldron]]" on Requiem. As Thorne gets up, [[seven]] [[Sangheili Storm]] approach him, activating their energy swords. Cut to black.''
