''Scene opens on the San'Shyuum scribe operating a holographic terminal.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "Our holy city was not always as it is. Close-up on his face." | |||
''Cut to the scribe standing on an outside platform overlooking High Charity. The Forerunner Dreadnought can be seen in the background.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "Nor was the Covenant." | |||
''Scene dissolves to High Charity in the past. Fade in to a Sangheili kneeling before a Hierarch.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "At one time, it was only San'Shyuum and Sangheili." | |||
''The Hierarch places his hand over the Sangheili's helmet in a blessing.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "But as we grew, and new species were added to our number, radical steps had to be taken." | |||
''A Covenant craft resembling a Phantom lands, as the Prophet and the Sangheili watch. Close-up of the Sangheili's armored face.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "Our first encounter with the Lekgolo was an effort in futility." | |||
''The craft departs High Charity. Fade to black.'' | |||
''Fade in on the planet Te.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "The blasphemous creatures had devoured a Forerunner orbital-" | |||
''Zoom in on the moon Rantu.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "-shattering its remains into a trillion pieces.'' | |||
''Cut to a Covenant HUD scanning the area.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "What was left became the rings of Te." | |||
''A Covenant craft lands on Rantu. A Sangheili's foot steps into frame, next to a single Lekgolo worm.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "As no conventional methods could purge the rings of their infestation, we sent of our most faithful: an Arbiter." | |||
''Close-up of the Arbiter, followed by an overhead shot of him as he explores the moon.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "For a full year, this Arbiter ventured across of one of their moons. Learning both their strengths...'' | |||
''The Arbiter uses his EVA jetpack to explore the moon. Fade to black as the Arbiter descends into a pit.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "...and their weaknesses.'' | |||
''The Arbiter lands at the bottom of the pit. He readies his plasma rifle.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "It was there that we discovered the Lekgolo's secret." | |||
''The Arbiter casts his search lights around, revealing a mass of Lekgolo in front of him. The worms begin to stir. Several form a Hunter-like creature.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "Although some of their kind rightly bore the blame for the orbital's desecration, others had only devoured around the Forerunner materials." | |||
''The Hunter starts to advance on the Arbiter, who opens fire. After taking several hits, the creature falls apart. Three more Hunters rise up from the Lekgolo mass.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "And with reasoning and much labor, these could be used to serve the Covenant.'' | |||
''Fade to black.'' | |||
''Fade to inside the Dreadnought, where the Arbiter stands behind a pair of Hierarchs who are inspecting front of a large structure.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "And by these means, the great Arbiter had given us one of our most sought-after treasures." | |||
''Close-up of the Hierarchs. One of them is holding a Lekgolo worm, which he places inside the structure.'' | |||
''Cut to a close-up of the worm as it slithers its way into the structure through a glowing bluish-white opening.'' | |||
*'''Scribe''': "Access to innumerable processing pathways of the might Forerunner Dreadnought, and to the many secrets it held." | |||
