| ==Overview== | | ==Transcript== |
| {{Article quote|En route to the second Spire, the Pelican is brought down by [[Banished]] [[Kywasky Workshop Gorespike cannon|anti-aircraft gun batteries]]. [[John-117|Chief]] sets out on foot to disable the guns and is confronted via hologram by [[Escharum]], who reveals that he has sent his best warriors to stop the Chief: the [[Hand of Atriox]], better known to their prey as Spartan Killers. In rapid succession, Chief brings down the AA guns, defeats the Spartan Killers [[Hyperius]] and [[Tovarus]], and retrieves [[Fernando Esparza|the Pilot]] in a graveyard of [[Mulsanne-class light frigate|UNSC ships]]. Reunited, the Pilot, the Weapon, and Master Chief make for the second Spire — and The [[Harbinger]].}} | | '''''{Cutscene}''''' |
| | |
| | *'''John-117''': "Upload the Spire locations." |
| | |
| | ''[[The Weapon]]'s avatar materializes in his hand.'' |
| | |
| | *'''Weapon''': "All of them?" |

| | ''Multiple holograms of Spires appear around the Pelican's troop bay.'' |

| | |
| | *'''[[Fernando Esparza|Pilot]] (COM)''': "Ummm... it looks like someone has marked forty-two locations, which, would be crazy, right?" |
| | |
| | ''All but one of Spires disappears. The Weapon pulls the remaining Spire hologram towards them.'' |
| | |
| | *'''John-117''': "This one?" |

| | |
| | *'''Weapon''': "It kinda seems like it. ''(realizes)'' Oh, wait... ''(cheerfully)'' You're being sarcastic. ''(to the Chief)'' He's fun. I like him." |
| | |
| | ''An alarm blares as a series of explosions erupt outside.'' |
| | |
| | ''Zoom in on the Pilot.'' |
| | |
| | *'''Pilot''': "Am I dead already? I-I mean I must be. I mean this is a punishment, right?" |
| | |
| | *'''Ship AI''': "WARNING. WARNING. WARNING." |
| | |
| | ''The Chief enters the cockpit. Outside, more explosions burst around ''Echo 216'' as [[Banished]] [[Anti-aircraft weapon|anti-aircraft guns]] continue to fire upon the Pelican.'' |
| | |
| | *'''Pilot''': "Yep. This is death." |
| | |
| | ''An AA gun directly in front of them opens fire and scores a direct hit on the Pelican.'' |
| | |
| | *'''Pilot''': "No! No!" |
| | |
| | ''The Pelican banks to port and we swing to see the Pilot in his seat as sparks fly from the forward console.'' |

| | |
| | ''The Pelican levels out right in front of another anti-aircraft cannon. It fires, hitting the Pelican. The Pelican makes a half-roll to starboard as the camera swings around to show the pilot.'' |
| | |
| | *'''Pilot''': "This isn't happening...!" |
| | |
| | ''The camera swings around to show the Pelican coming in for a crash landing in a river .'' |
| | |
| | *'''Pilot''': "I'm going to have to make an emergency landing!" |
| | |
| | ''Water splashes up over the cockpit window as the Pelican lands in the shallow river.'' |
|
| |
|
| Pelican Down relocks the first two open-world areas until it is complete. Thus, the player must make do with what they have, plus any weapons enemies drop and the five Spartan Cores in the "Graveyard" area. Completing Pelican Down unlocks the third and final open-world area.
| | *'''Pilot''': "Hold on, Chief." |

| | ''Out the window, we see the Pelican headed straight for a large piece of debris. As it collides with the debris, the camera swings around to show the Chief and the pilot. The pilot grits his teeth and we hear a faint ''thud''. The screen cuts to black.'' |

|

| *'''Pilot''': "I'm a fraud. I stole that Pelican." ''(he turns around)'' "I ''stole'' it! You know ''why''?"
| |
| | |
| ''The Chief doesn't answer.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': "Of course you don't. Have you ever been scared? So scared that you..."
| |
| | |
| ''Unable to finish his sentence, the Pilot walks away from the Chief. He kneels down at the edge of the crater containing the wreckage of UNSC ships.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': ''(sobbing)'' "I'm worthless."
| |
| | |
| ''The Chief approaches and drops to one knee beside him.''
| |
| [[File:HINF Pelican Down J117 Esparza.png|thumb|300px|The Chief bonds with the Pilot.]]
| |
| *'''Pilot''': ''(still sobbing)'' "You should leave me here with the rest of the garbage."
| |
| | |
| *'''John-117''': "We all fail. We all make mistakes. It's what makes us human."
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': ''(incredulous)'' "I'm sorry, Chief. But how have ''you'' ever failed?"
| |
| | |
| ''The Chief hesitates for a moment before answering.''
| |
| | |
| *'''John-117''': "I should have protected [[Cortana]]. Stopped everything from [[The Reclamation|going wrong]]."
| |
| | |
| ''The Pilot stares at him in surprise.''
| |
| | |
| *'''John-117''': "I failed her."
| |
| | |
| ''He turns to the Pilot.''
| |
| | |
| *'''John-117''': "I will ''not'' fail you."
| |
| | |
| *'''Weapon''': "Chief..."
| |
| | |
| ''The Weapon's avatar appears in the palm of the Chief's hand.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Weapon''': ''(to the Pilot)'' "We...we're going to make it."
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': ''(turning away)'' "I..."
| |
| | |
| *'''Weapon''': "We have to."
| |
| | |
| ''The Pilot looks back at them.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': "...this is all I've got."
| |
| | |
| *'''John-117''': "It's all we ''need''. Our only way home is straight through the heart of the Banished."
| |
| | |
| *'''Weapon''': "We need you."
| |
| | |
| *'''John-117''': "We can fix this."
| |
| | |
| *'''Weapon''': "Together."
| |
| | |
| ''Her avatar disappears. The Chief stands back up. He waits for the Pilot to do the same.''
| |
| | |
| ''Scene focuses in on the Pilot, as he makes his decision.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': "Of course we can."
| |
| | |
| ''The Chief holds out his hand. The Pilot takes it and gets back to his feet.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': "Together."
| |
| | |
| ''Having regained his composure, the Pilot puts his hands on his hips and sighs.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': "So. What's the plan? Let me guess. It's dangerous and is probably going to get us killed."
| |
| | |
| ''There's a sudden booming sound. Scene shifts to the right. In the distance, a [[Beacon tower|beam of blue energy]] streaks up into the sky.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': "Huh."
| |
| | |
| ''Scene shifts back to him.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': "I have my answer."
| |
| | |
| ''He turns to the Chief and raises a fist.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Pilot''': "Let's do this."
| |
| | |
| ''Fade to black.''
| |
| | |
| ''Open back up on a hologram of the UNSC ship graveyard. Camera slowly pans across the corpses of Hyperius and Tovarus.''
| |
| | |
| *'''[[Harbinger]]''': ''(off-screen)'' "You are losing control."
| |
| | |
| ''Scene pans up to Escharum, who turns away from the [[holotank|holotable]]. He waves his hand dismissively and the hologram dissolves.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Escharum''': "Nothing is lost."
| |
| | |
| ''The Harbinger appears before him via hologram.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Harbinger (hologram)''': "Deploy your army!" ''(clenches her fist)'' "Descend upon him."
| |
| | |
| *'''Escharum''': "No. Odds will not break him."
| |
| | |
| ''He turns away. The Harbinger turns away as well, contemplating the situation.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Harbinger (hologram)''': "The Spartan is not alone."
| |
| | |
| ''Surprised, Escharum turns back to her.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Harbinger (hologram)''': "There's [[The Weapon|something]] here... helping him. Connected to [[Installation 07|this installation]]."
| |
| | |
| ''His attention captured, Escharum flexes his hand.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Escharum''': "What is it?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Harbinger (hologram)''': "It's remarkably vulnerable..." ''(she turns to face Escharum)'' "...but highly intelligent."
| |
| | |
| *'''Escharum''': ''(eagerly)'' "Is it a weakness? Something to exploit?"
| |
| | |
| *'''Harbinger (hologram)''': "We will see."
| |
| | |
| ''She waves a hand and the image of a Spire appears before them.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Harbinger (hologram)''': "The Reformation is controlled from [[Command Spire (location)|this Spire]]. It must be protected."
| |
| [[File:HINF Escharum Harbinger Spire.png|thumb|300px|Escharum and the Harbinger prepare for the Reformation.]]
| |
| ''Escharum acquiesces to her instructions. He enters a few commands into the holotable. Banished Phantoms and deployable structures materialize around the Spire.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Escharum''': "Done."
| |
| | |
| ''He points at the Harbinger.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Escharum''': "[[Atriox]] believed you to be valuable."
| |
| | |
| ''The Spire and the Banished assets disappear from the holotable.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Escharum''': "Prove him correct."
| |
| | |
| *'''Harbinger (hologram)''': "When the [[Endless]] are found. And when you have your Ring." ''(she turns away from him)'' "''Then'' you will never question my worth and ''I'' will never question your judgment."
| |
| | |
| ''Her hologram fades. Escharum growls in frustration, before starting to cough and gasp, his age taking its toll on him. [[Jega 'Rdomnai]] enters the room and walks up to him.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Jega 'Rdomnai''': "The scent grows stronger. Save your strength."
| |
| | |
| ''Escharum turns to the [[Sangheili]] [[Blademaster]] and places a hand on his shoulder.''
| |
| | |
| *'''Escharum''': "I need something of you, old friend."
| |
| | |
| *'''Jega 'Rdomnai''': "Anything."
| |
| | |
| *'''Escharum''': "Bring me the Master Chief... ''(lets out a throaty rasp)'' Alive."
| |
| | |
| ''Fade to black.''
| |
| | |
| ''Level ends.''
