Transcript
We see a black screen with as Echo 216's pilot speaks
28TH MAY 2560 is superimposed.
- Pilot: Am I dead already? I...I must be, I mean.
167 DAYS AFTER WE LOST is superimposed below the date.
- Pilot: This is a punishment, right?
As the pilot speaks, the date fades out, leaving only the date counter which sits on-screen for four seconds before we cut to:
The interior of Echo 216's cockpit, with John-117 standing behind the pilot. The Pelican jostles as a red light flashes and sparks fly from a panel on the bulkhead.
- Pilot: Yep. This is death.
We pan around to look out the cockpit window. An explosion appears on a cliff just ahead of them. On the Pelican's front console, a caution indicator is present. As the Pelican passes through the explosion, the scenery of the installation is revealed, including a large anti-aircraft cannon that sits on a plateau directly ahead. It fires, resulting in an explosion immediately in front of the Pelican. The Pelican begins an abrupt dive and the caution indicator changes to a striped alert.
- 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.
- Pilot: No no no no!
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 as the pilot speaks.
- 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.
- 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.
We hear another faint thud and a soft ringing of the ears. As the screen fades back in, the pilot is unconscious, leaning forward in his seat. The Chief grabs his shoulder and pulls him back. The pilot regains consciousness with a heavy gasp.
- Pilot (angrily): No! Get...! No! You! I can't! Stand this! Oh, you are...!
- John-117 (calmly): Breathe.
- Pilot (irritated): No! You don't get to tell me what to do! You don't get to tell me anything! We're...
The pilot looks at the Chief.
- Pilot (irritated): Are you even listening?!
The Chief is staring out the cockpit window.
- John-117: I count three anti-aircraft cannons.
- Pilot: Three what?!
The Chief turns to leave the cockpit.
- John-117: You'll be safe here.
- Pilot (irritated): Oh? I'll be safe?!
He lets out a mirthless chuckle. The pilot's seat slides back as he unbuckles. He gets out of the seat to follow the Chief to the passenger/cargo area.
- Pilot (irritated): Safe?! I haven't been "safe" since I found you! I found you, remember?!
The camera pans around the Chief to the aft of the passenger/cargo area.
- Pilot (irritated): You were out there on your own, and you'd still be there if it wasn't for me! I thought I was going home!
The camera pans around to face the Chief.
- John-117: There won't be a home if we don't stop the Banished.
The camera continues around behind the pilot.
- Pilot: You keep saying that. We're outgunned, outnumbered.
The pilot turns to point.
- Pilot: I know I saw Condors over there.
He pivots back around, clenching his fist.
- Pilot: I'm going to dig through them and find one with a working Slipspace drive, and when you're done with this war we get away from here.
As the pilot finishes speaking, the Pelican's bay door opens.
- Pilot: Far away.
- John-117: Wait here.
The Chief heads for the door. The pilot quickly catches up, grabbing the Chief's arm.
- Pilot: Woah, woah. Please.
He lets go of the Chief's arm.
- Pilot: Let me see what I can find.
- John-117: Cannons first. When I get back...we can look. Together.
The pilot lets out a small huff through his nose and walks back towards the cockpit.
- Pilot: Okay, big guy.
The pilot retreats back into the Pelican as we transition to gameplay.
The Chief equips an MA40 assault rifle and exits the Pelican. He looks around at the landscape of Installation 07. As he walks, several small creatures skitter on the ground as we hear plasma pistol rounds and Grunts chattering to his right. He walks over a small hill, and engages the Grunts on the other side. Once he kills the Grunts, he reloads and multiple yellow hexagons appear as his shields recharge. He walks across a small wetland, observing a large piece of starship debris that has landed nearby, immediately starboard of the Pelican's crash landing site. As he observes the debris, a Banished Phantom comes into view, and the Chief tracks it as it crosses the sky and observes it as it lands. He sprints to a nearby Warthog and drives it through a small debris field below the large debris and up a hillside, towards the Banished Phantom. He engages his TACMAP, interacting with the icons for the three anti-aircraft batteries, setting the western battery as his target. He closes his TACMAP and resumes driving across the wetland, being engaged by Grunts as he takes his Warthog off a cliffside ramp.
- Grunt: What the? Comin' around!
He lands, continuing forward, being engaged by Grunts and Jackals, which he splatters with his Warthog.
- Grunt: Stop! Stop! Stop!
He continues forward briefly before disembarking and engaging a Grunt directly in front of him. He kills the Grunt with the butt of his MA40, pivots left to see an Elite and a Grunt in a small bunker, switches to his MK50 Sidekick, engaging and killing the Grunt.
- Elite: unintelligible
He throws a frag grenade at another Grunt on the far side of the bunker, before killing it with a headshot, immediately prior to the grenade detonating. He re-equips his MA40 and engages the Elite, killing it at close range with a melee. He leaves the bunker and swaps his MA40 for a VK78 Commando. He is engaged from the left by two Grunts - one with a plasma pistol, the other with a needler.
- Grunt: unintelligible
He pivots left and engages them with his VK78, killing them, then reloads. He looks up at a "pillared" cliff face and sees a platform elevator descend from the top of the cliff. His shields recharge as he sprints up a ramp towards the elevator. From the sky, two streaks of red light appear, ending with the impact of Banished drop pods. The doors blow off and two Brutes emerge. He engages the first with his VK78.
- Brute: I'll tear you apart
The chief sticks the Brute with a plasma grenade before taking several steps back. The grenade detonates, killing the Brute.
- Brute: You've done it now!
The Chief retreats down the ramp as the Brute charges him, firing his VK50 at the charging Brute. He finishes the Brute with a melee kill from his VK50 and reloads. He walks over to a nearby ammo dump and grabs a drop wall and spike grenades.
