During the [[Battle for Installation 07]], John-117 is defeated by the [[Banished]] [[Warmaster|leader]] [[Atriox]] aboard the ''[[UNSC Infinity]]'', and thrown into space. Six months later, he awakens aboard Pelican ''[[Echo 216]]'' and is informed of the UNSC's catastrophic defeat by the pilot [[Fernando Esparza]]. When the [[Banished dreadnought|Banished warship]] ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]'' captures ''Echo 216'' in its stasis beam, the Master Chief must board the enemy vessel in order to shut off the beam. While infiltrating the ship, John learns that Atriox is presumed dead but that the Banished are nearly in control of Zeta Halo. Unable to deactivate the stasis beam, he overloads the ship's engines, destroying it. During his escape, he's contacted by the new leader of the Banished, [[War Chief]] [[Escharum]], who vows to hunt the Chief down. Upon escaping the craft, he receives a message indicating that [[The Weapon|the Weapon]]'s mission has been a success. He is then instructed to retrieve the Weapon.

===Game intro===

''Scene pans right to reveal the ''[[UNSC Infinity]]'' under attack by [[Banished]] forces. A [[Banished]] [[Banished dreadnought|dreadnought]] smashes into ''Infinity'' from the side. UNSC [[Pelican]]s flee the [[supercarrier]] while under heavy fire from swarming [[Banished Phantom]]s. Another dreadnought smashes into ''Infinity'' from the side.''

 

''Another Pelican takes off as the Master Chief fires his assault rifle at the Banished around him. [[Type-54 plasma pistol|Plasma pistol]] bolts strike the Master Chief, causing his [[Energy shielding|energy shields]] to flare. The Chief guns down the Kig-Yar Freebooter shooting at him, then kills another Brute Warrior. Out of ammunition, he discards the empty assault rifle, drops to one knee, and uses his [[Grappleshot]] to retrieve an [[MK50 Sidekick]]. He kills another Kig-Yar Freebooter before it can fire its [[Needler]] at some retreating marines. He then turns and guns down a pair of [[Unggoy]] [[Unggoy Conscript|Conscripts]].''

===Level opening===

''Scene circles around the pilot, as he lies on the floor, exhausted, before he notices [[holorecorder|a recording device]] next to him. The device blinks with a green light before fully activating itself, generating a holographic recording of the pilot's wife and daughter.''

*'''Wife (recording)''': "Okay, Daddy's listening. Can you say "''Hi''"?"

*'''Daughter (recording)''': "Hi!"

*'''Wife (recording)''': "And... show Daddy how big you are."

*'''Daughter (recording)''': "Sooo big."

*'''Wife (recording)''': "Sooo big. Good and can you sing?"

*'''Daughter (recording)''': ''(singing)'' "''Mary had a little lamb''."

*'''Wife (recording)''': "Good singing."

*'''Wife (recording)''': "How about "''I miss you''"?"

*'''Daughter (recording)''': "I miss you."

*'''Wife (recording)''': "And "''I love you''"?"

*'''Daughter (recording)''': "I love you, Daddy."

*'''Wife (recording)''': "And... ''(laughs)'' good. And can you say, "''I can't wait to see you again''"?"

*'''Daughter (recording)''': "I can't wait to see you again."

*'''Wife (recording)''': "Okay, now say, "''bye-bye!''"."

*'''Daughter (recording)''': "Bye-bye!"

''The pilot tearfully mouths the words "bye-bye" back. The recording ends. Despairing, the pilot lowers his head and closes his eyes.''

''A console off screen lights up, emitting a green glow.''

*'''Pilot''': "This is [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] Pelican [[Echo 216]]. Can you hear me? This is UNS-"

''The Pilot wipes the condensation off the Pelican window to reveal [[John-117]] floating in front of it in space near debris.''

''The Pelican starts to light up again, and the pilot jumps up and down in excitement.''

''The pilot looks at some readings on a datapad.''

''The pilot lifts up his flashlight.''

''The pilot goes to checks some equipment lying around.''

''The pelican gets hit by a EMP-like shock, causing systems to go into flux.''

''The Master Chief turns and leaves the cockpit.''

*'''Pilot''': "What, what? What are you going to do?"

''John fires the pilot's [[MK50 Sidekick]] at the fusion coil, detonating it. The muffled explosion clears his path.''

''John grabs a floating magazine and reloads his MK50 Sidekick. He then comes to the rear section of an [[M12B Warthog]]. He looks into the roll cage to find a dead Marine and an [[MA40 assault rifle]]. He picks up the rifle.''

''John-117 kills all the Brutes. He then exits the room and enters a massive hangar bay, where structures are being prepared to be deployed to the surface of Zeta Halo. The Jiralhanae Officer is heard giving commands over the loudspeaker.''

*'''Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker)''': "Drop base seven-six-three, capacity reached. Prepare for deployment."

*'''Jiralhanae Officer (loudspeaker)''': "Drop base six-six-two, commence final preparations."

''After defeating the Banished troops, the Chief enters an [[elevator]] and activates it. The elevator begins its ascent, and John-117 can now see row upon row of Banished structures waiting for deployment.''

*'''Escharum (hologram)''': "The hour approaches. Soon the Banished will stand victorious. Atriox... hear these words. Even from beyond this life, your will is served. Your forces occupy the Ring. Within hours, it will be under our control. [[Human|Humanity]] will cower before your legacy. They will burn. Their brazen defiance will be all but a memory."

''The Master Chief storms the bridge and eliminates the crew, including a [[Jiralhanae Captain]] armed with a [[Ravager]]. The Chief then locates the controls for the ship's stasis beam, but can't access them.''

''The Master Chief exits the room and steps out into the main hangar bay where all the Banished structures were preparing for deployment.''

''The Master Chief uses his Grappleshot to swing himself across the hangar bay. He runs on top of and/or through the various structures.''

''A series of explosions erupt throughout the hangar bay.''

''The Master Chief makes it to the other side of the hangar bay.''

*The ''[[Discover Hope]]'' trailer uses an in-development version of the opening cutscene where [[Fernando Esparza]] finds [[John-117]]. In the trailer, Esparza's daughter sings [[wikipedia:Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star|"Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"]] rather than [[Wikipedia:Mary Had a Little Lamb|"Mary Had a Little Lamb"]].

*During the cutscene that plays when entering the ''[[Ghost of Gbraakon]]''{{'}}s bridge, a single Jiralhanae can be seen holding a white [[Type-57 carbine]] that disappears after the cutscene ends. This is the only time the weapon appears in the entire game.

*During the escape sequence, the body of a red [[Unggoy Assault]] can be found in a corridor a short distance away from the bridge. This is the only red Unggoy Assault found in the level, and there will be a [[Needler]] instead of a [[Disruptor]] next to its body.
